No, it was standard IVF by a sperm downer, the historic first referenced in the title is that they are the first married lesbian couple in South Korea to birth a child.
TL;DR He was arrested for uploading a recording of the entire VN two days before the game came out, which, being a visual novel, debatably cost them sales from people who just read his video instead of buying it. It's a bit like if someone filmed themselves turning the pages of a new Harry Potter book before the street date so everyone could read it.
Seems to me that it's less "uploaded lets plays" and more "posted game footage before the game release", and they nailed him for anything they could.
I don't think piracy should be punished, but like, if you're gonna do it, don't post video recordings of yourself doing it before the game comes out my guy.
Obviously ask your DM first, but it's worth noting that Crawford himself says that they literally just don't take damage types into account when designing spells, so changing them shouldn't break anything.
Of course, that's kind absurd, but a slightly more sane take, from the homebrew community, is that damage types are roughly aligned in trios, and you can safely change damage types between the same level or worse without hurting anything.
Those trios being:
bludgeoning/piercing/slashing
cold/fire/poison
acid/lightning/necrotic
force/psychic/radiant
So a cold fireball would be fine, a slashing fireball would be slightly weaker, but a necrotic fireball would be a bit much, and a force fireball is (self-evidently) quite a bit more powerful. I use this myself, to allow casters to be a bit more thematic; at my table, when you learn a spell, you can set it to any equal or lesser damage type and reflavour it however you want. E.g. if someone took fireball, they might say it does piercing damage and flavour it as a blast of needles.
I don't know if it's affecting other instances, but all images from startrek.website are denying referrals to image links from lemmy.sdf.org. In other words, all image posts show up as broken unless I open them in a new tab and refresh so the referrer becomes startrek.website. It's not affecting any of my other subbed instances, and when I open startrek.website it works fine, so I suppose something's breaking in the in-between?
Dungeons: The Dragoning 40,000 is a d10 dice pool game with "stunt dice"
If you make any attempt at all to describe your action in-character (such as your example), you got +1 die
If your description was especially cool, or interacted with the environment in some way, you get +2 dice instead (I guess technically your example would likely be here, because a chair is part of the environment, probably)
And "crowning moments", the kind of really hype action that gets the whole table invested, the sort of thing that happens once or twice a session at most, earn +3 dice
It really helps keep people invested in the role play
I feel like you've missed the point of the comment you're replying to
No, a barbarian is not expected to deadlift IRL. But if a barbarian walked into the middle of a situation and declared he was going to solve it with Athletics, without explaining how he was going to do that, he would be met with blank stares. You need to state intent. "I'll use Athletics" is meaningless. "I'll pile up these boulders into a staircase so we can climb over the wall" is a course of action.
Similarly, "I'll use Persuasion" is meaningless. Worse, are the people who just say "I've got proficiency in all the charisma skills, so I'll just use whatever one's most effective" lol. "I'll use my wit and charm to convince the guard that we have been invited to the castle" is a course of action. "I'll use facts and logic to convince the guard that it is in his best interest to allow us into the castle" is a course of action. I don't care if you're charismatic in real life, but if you can't even summarize what you're trying to say, how is the rest of the game world supposed to respond to it? "I'll Persuade them" is only the first half of a sentence.
For that matter, what are people doing keeping your potions in glass bottles anyway? Or even earthenware or waterskins? Put it inside gelatin, or a nutshell, or a ball of resin/sap, or a dried sausage, or a bundle of cotton, really anything you can safely and easily toss in your mouth, bite through, and either swallow or spit out afterward as needs must. Putting it in a bottle you must uncork and swig from is insanely inefficient.
It doesn't. The original data is nowhere in its dataset. Words are nowhere in its dataset. It stores how often certain tokens (numbers computationally equivalent to language fragments; not even words, but just a few letters or punctuation, often chunks of words) are found together in sentences written by humans, and uses that to generate human-sounding sentences. The sentences it returns are thereby a massaged average of what it predicts a human would say in that situation.
If you say "It was the best of times," and it returns "it was the worst of times.", it's not because "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." is literally in its dataset, it's because after converting what you said to tokens, its dataset shows that the latter almost always follows the former. From the AI's perspective, it's like you said the token string (03)(153)(3181)(359)(939)(3)(10)(108), and it found that the most common response to that by far is (03)(153)(3181)(359)(61013)(12)(10)(108).
Back in the early days, I noticed my town had a wikipedia entry, but no demonym (word for people who live there; e.g. New Yorker, San Franciscan). I thought of a slightly rude word whose first half happened to be my town's name (think if, say, Parisians were called "Parisites"), and added it as the demonym, totally unsourced, as a joke to show my buddy. It stayed. For a few years it stayed, never questioned. Then, the new Mayor used it in a speech; presumably, she'd looked it up on wikipedia. That speech was published in the local paper. The local paper was added to the page as a source, and not by me. A high-school gag between friends was now a sourced and cited fact.
People like to say plants "eat sunlight" and "breathe CO2", but actually, it's closer to the opposite! They crack off the carbon in the air to build themselves and release oxygen, similar to the way we turn food into fuel and poop, and power the process using photosynthesis, similar the way we power our cells with oxygen.
Yesss
I've been playing since Guild Wars 1, I was there when the last day dawned on the kingdom of Ascalon, and I looove how they've evolved the setting over the decades! I've run D&D games set in it, and it's a great great time
So the gimmick is like, there's a lot of deceptive mobile ads that show simple but satisfying puzzle games, like unjamming a traffic jam or pulling pins the right order to let a guy free, butthen when you click on it, it's some totally unrelated trashfire of a game. The irony is that a lot of people would actually like to play the games shown in the ads, but they're entirely made up to trick you.
Until now; this game is a collection of the made-up games that appear in cell phone ads.
There was an ooooold, like, older than me, game like that called Street Rod, and I still end up going back to it time to time because there's nothing quite like it.
After I subscribed to a Canada sublemmy, there was a full two days where I was just constantly being bombarded with threads from literal years ago
I'd see a shockingly frightening news thing, click on the thread, start reading, realize this all sounded familiar, and then realize this was like covid news
