Don’t recall discovering anything, but maybe I did and then forgot it because my memory is terrible. I think I mostly just liked having someone to talk to.

I got better…

AD&D 2e has, primarily, a presentation problem. The rules are best suited for a gritty game about the minutiae of exploring uncharted wilderness and delving into the dungeons you find there—one where you keep a watchful eye on your dwindling supplies of lamp oil and arrows as you calculate how to bring as much loot out of the dungeon as possible before getting killed by running into a particularly lucky orc. The rules are very similar to AD&D 1e, which is presented this way.

At some point, someone at TSR must have decided that heroic adventure sells better, because all of the 2e fluff and art makes it look like you play as heroic badasses who stare down dragons, which if you start at level 1 and play by the XP rules, will take you many months of weekly play to achieve.

She turned me into a newt!

It lies in your favor, though. On difficulties below the highest, the modern games have hidden modifiers that affect the hit chance that you can’t see, but all of them are cheating for you. IIRC your hit chance secretly increases when you have missed shots recently, when you have dead soldiers, when you are outnumbered, and maybe some other things.

I think re-explaining things that happened in previous seasons is a different issue. They’re worried that you don’t remember what happened because it has been so long.

And that’s fair. I know I watched Season 2 (and it definitely had my full attention, because I’m incapable of doing two things at once), but the only thing I can actually remember about it is the episode where El went to Chicago and met some shadowrunners. And something about tunnels. Everything else is a blur.

This is why you always put a point in Discord.

No, this is the first time it has been available to the public. It was acquired by Riot Games several years into development, they decided to scrap most of the original work and start over in a new game engine, work on the new engine severely delayed reimplementation of previously completed features, which kept pushing the release timeline back, and eventually Riot canned the project.

Last year the original founder purchased the rights to the game from Riot, they went back to the original engine, and they got a working early access build out in like six months.

And you’re a prescriptivist!

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

He cannot “accept … [an] Office … from any … foreign State.” I suppose he might argue that “accepting” and “seizing by force” are not the same thing.

Or Congress could pass an act to allow it.

Edit: Or, more realistically, someone will complain to the Supreme Court and they’ll find a reason to avoid ruling on the issue and Sotomayor will write an angry dissent but nothing will change.

At my last job it was just the HR interview and an interview with my prospective boss, but my boss’ idea of an interview was to make me take a lengthy, ridiculous test he designed himself that was mostly questions he could have just asked me, including a bunch of weird lateral thinking questions cribbed from “This Google interview question will stump you” clickbait, plus intentional interruptions during the test to see how I handled the unexpected.

I felt kind of insulted by it but I’m glad I stuck it out, because he turned out to be a great boss, who just happens to have strange ideas about interviewing.

Why is the headline putting the blame on an inanimate program? If those X posters had used Photoshop to do this, the headline would not be “Photoshop edited Good’s body…”

Controlling the bot with a natural-language interface does not mean the bot has agency.

But the post on the big instance is not helping the small instance grow, which is why they put it there. Over-centralization isn’t desirable.

They aren’t suggesting he not die, they’re suggesting that the part of the game before he died should have been much longer.

I feel like I don’t “get” this movie. I saw it as a kid and I remember it being a pretty standard family friendly take on superheroes, but without any of the superheroes that I actually liked. Do people really think it’s “one of the best movies ever made,” or is that just Jack Black?

Why is every sentence in this article its own paragraph?

I think just to emphasize that she is the one making the claims. If her parents remember this story differently and want to sue them for libel, they can say “oh we didn’t say you forced her, we said that SHE said you forced her.”

It is less the cooking part and more the decorating part that amazes me. Maybe he already had crafts experience in another discipline?

This is a minefield when playing Jackbox games with strangers!

And honestly I would not be surprised at all to hear a demon in SMT tell me that my mother sucks cock in Hell. And then I’d say something like, “she’s better at it than you” and there’s a 50% chance they like my attitude and decide to join my team, and a 50% chance they get offended and take a free turn.
