  • Yeah, it's happened to me a couple times and I hate it so much when I finally wrest myself out, on top of the anti-adblock shit, that I've basically stopped browsing YT altogether. If I get a link I'll watch a video but the quality of the experience has dropped so drastically since the early days. I actually lament the fact that because of how the algorithms are tuned, it is impossible to get to the weird part of YouTube organically - You have to already know about the weird shit in order to see it.

    Not 100% related, but Chrome is crashing my computer. Started happening like a month ago, I would be dinking around on the net and everything would suddenly become unresponsive, can't even open task manager, have to power cycle. This would happen anywhere between three days or thirty minutes apart. Nothing shows up in the event viewer before any of the crashes, all the hardware I can test comes back clean. I have a friend who said he was having the same issue, he switched to Firefox, hasn't had it since. I've had a week of uptime now since I did the same. I'm beginning to think Alphabet just makes bad products now.

  • What's to dream about? Living these days feels like being in a game of monopoly where someone started with hotels on every property. The fascists are winning, the planet is burning, we're in the middle of two wars, the capitalists are talking about putting shock collars on their vault slaves when the apocalypse begins, and all signs point to everything getting worse as time goes on. In light of all this, my dream is dying peacefully in my sleep before the water wars begin and I get pushed into Nestle's torment nexus to make the stock price go up a fraction of a penny.

  • It depends on the disability, the magic, and the DM's interpretation, I suppose. Lesser restoration is kind of a cure-all, gets rid of disease, poison, blindness, deafness, and paralysis, and 'disease' in particular might cover a pretty wide swath. Greater restoration can end effects that reduce ability scores or hit point maximums, which might include chronic conditions or congenital birth defects not directly linked to a disease. Regeneration can grow back missing body parts. Anything that these spells don't cover, Wish (and Divine Intervention) almost certainly would, but you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who could and would cast it.

  • Regenerate is also a 7th level spell - depending on the setting, the number of people capable of that kind of magic might not even exist outside of the confines of the party, or if they do, they're more preoccupied with the stuff worthy of NPCs with at least thirteen class levels.

  • I dunno, I think it makes sense. B/S/P all imply a physical impact of some sort, force is just a wave of energy, magic or not. Like a nonmagical example would be microwaves or radiation from nuclear materials (I know sickening radiance says it does radiant damage but that's 100% wrong, radiant implies holy or positive as the inverse of necrotic, which is unholy and negative, I will kill on this hill, the devs fucked it up just like they fucked up T3/T4 play.)

  • Admittedly, I see why people hate it, it is frustratingly difficult, even unfair at times (and death mountain can fuck right off, straight to hell.) But there is fun to be had here, if you can forgive some transgressions. Weirdly, it feels like the first real metroidvania in Nintendo's library, even past Metroid itself, which seems almost a proto-game in light of how the medium and the genre have evolved over time.

  • I mean I've had my Brother long before I knew about Lemmy. I have never had it not print the thing I wanted it to print. Before that I had about half a dozen inkjet printers that worked maybe 40% of the time in the first few months and then dropped steeply when the print heads got gummed up, or the feed got jammed. But the Brother has been working a treat for five years and counting.

  • Also, trees that get too big have roots that damage infrastructure and have to be cut down. I'm not saying I like the dirty fishtank look more, but I can see how this might be easier to maintain in urban spaces.
