Steaming Service. For steamed chicken.

shocked by "run pantry_raid.exe” as it was not read as pantry raid.

FUTO FTW

Amanda Palmer was proposing something like this using block chain.

Not my leg.

Using it. Loving it.

He should get that tummy tumour looked at.

because they struggle with punctuation and paragraph structure instead we should foster an inclusive environment that values the content and intent of their communication rather than its adherence to rigid formalities additionally there are cultural differences in writing styles that must be considered what is deemed appropriate or acceptable in one language or cultural context may not hold true in another imposing a universal standard for punctuation and paragraph use would ignore these important variations and contribute to a homogenization of global communication that undermines cultural diversity therefore while punctuation and paragraphs undoubtedly play a crucial role in enhancing the clarity and effectiveness of written communication it is neither practical nor fair to enforce their use universally across all forms of media doing so would overlook the rich diversity of expressive styles the unique challenges faced by different individuals and the evolving nature of language itself instead we should encourage a more flexible and inclusive approach to writing that respects and accommodates the myriad ways in which people choose to express themselves

In the olden daze folks would argue over how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. Fighting over a sociopathic multi-national’s IP canon seems very much like arguing over pin heads and angels.

I am pretty sure having 250 tabs open at once would require a very wide screen. ;) I installed Linux Mint on a Lenovo, but I looked very closely at Tuxedo machines at the same time.

1.5 terabytes of text is a staggering amount of data, and that is just one channel. The thought of that much ”talking" going on in one company is overwhelming.

I love the fediverse. I live in Canada. I don’t get what this is. Can someone do an ELI5?

A good compromise. When 20000 people have a great time watching a scheduled event that seems fair. Peeps can make preparations to participate or avoid.

Not that i was gonna track them down, but blurring the license plate seems ironic in this case.

You have demonstrated great insight into the challenges of being a referee in an RPG. You will find your way. Here are a few tips that I can convey as I have made nearly every referee mistake possible. ;)

To help remember things engage your players in the story. Have them do recaps of the show so far, the session night and even a what happened last time. It is shocking how much we forget as referees even though we have created the scenario and taken notes. Collective memory for a collective experience. There will be errors. There will be retcons (which we used to call post factualization). That is the nature of improvised collective experiences.

Preparation is good. However the game is there for the whole table and “letting your darlings” go is even more important in collective experiences as it is in writing. Consider the elements that don’t get used as future ideas. It is more important to balance referee and player needs. I am sure there are multiple threads here about “rail roading” vs “sand boxing” if the table is happy (this includes the referee) then you are doing stuff right. It is also okay to have a debrief once in a while after session. Players can let the referee know what is working for them and vice versa.

I have been improvising comedy for a long time and being able to do things out of the blue takes practise. It also takes specific practice in narrative and listening. Making things work out of the box like a board won’t ever happen in an RPG. Even a board game requires everyone to learn the rules and story. Learn to prep with checklists. Sometimes even flowcharts are needed. Notes should be one or two word reminders never sentences.

Troika looks insanely wonderful. A game after my cybernetic heart. There is a free online resource about improv comedy at learnimprov.com. <disclaimer> this is my site but it is CC 4.0 and comletely free of charge, or tracking, or remuneration

I like my cold turkey with cranberries and dressing. No plan to quit.

It is concerning when a IRL political figure uses a term that was a joke in a marrionette movie (Team America World Police).
