Corey Doctorow's podcast Understood: Who broke the internet? does an amazing job of explaining this. It's only like 5 episodes and worth everyone's time.

I use this a lot. Usually rain spunds, but when I'm feeling spry I also like video game sound tracks and atmospheric black metal.

Where do you find "cosmic noise"?

Technically Wolverine is Canadian

I really like OwlBear Rodeo. It is system agnostic simple tabletop. There is a learning curve but it's pretty easy. It's also great on tablets and decent on phones.

The best part is that there are a lot of 3rd party extensions to dial in your specific game mechanics. I've been playing Dragonbane and it has some funky mechanics that someone else made work well in OBR.

Having not read the article: probably. The magazine tube should still be fine as long as it's a pump action shotgun because firing another round requires manually cycling the action.

I stand corrected.

I've been using FUTO which is free and open source, has pretty good gesture typing, very good voice to text, and does not connect to the internet. I'm happy with it, but I'm also an idiot and most things make me happy.

Edit: I am wrong about freedom and open source. Don't listen to me. I still like the keyboard though.

The current argument is "you give your SSN, address, salary etc to the bank, your employer, the DMV, etc. They all want something from you. The world's richest man doesn't need your money, so why are you afraid of giving him all your information?"

It's basically "if you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to hide" but with your identity and life savings and social security.

Same. When I've got a session coming upjwithjless than ideal prep time, I've used chat get to help figure out some story beats. Or reframe a movie plot into DnD terms. But more often than not I use the Story Engine Deck to help with writers block. I'd rather support a small company with a useful product than help Sam Altman boil the oceans.

This looks super interesting! I'm stoked to give it a shot.

You can indeed carry a gun in a national park. The law was changed in 2013.

Edit: I am wrong. It was 2010.

I also switched to Tidal after learning about Spotify's dystopian future war AI powered killer robot plans. It's also bullshit how little they pay artists.

I wish Tidal had podcasts, but I'm happy enough with AntennaPod.

Hahahaha that is great! I didn't see that until now. It's a gas tank for the snowmobiles. And before you think I'm a fancy boy, they're over a decade old and the only way to get to and from our house in the winter.

I have exactly zero Linux knowledge but I know people who do!

Thank you! I'll check those out!

I'll check in over there. Thanks for both suggestions!

Once I started using alarms and timers my life got much better. I rely heavily on timers to convince myself to do chores. 20 minutes of cleaning or organizing my stuff is better then 0 minutes. And 20 minutes is digestable. And also for lazy fun stuff. I can set a 1 hour timer for video games or do a hobby or whatever and the time cut off keeps me focused.

Lt. Colonel David Grossman is not the worst thing to happen to american policing but he's sure not helping anything.

I think it was 3?

I'm really enjoying Trine 4 (the sale got me). I'm what the kids call a "casual", but I'm really enjoying the puzzles and the combat. It's also a really pretty game.
