Great for listening but every earbud I’ve tried has an absolute shit tier microphone because it picks up every ambient noise.

For anyone else who doesn’t get it, this is the actor who plays Data in TNG.

I’ve never seen this image before so I was kind of confused haha.

Is there anything like this for iOS? I usually stick to Overcast but haven’t really looked into switch apps for a while.

RIP Marauder Shields o7

I kind of did this with Tildes.

I’m more nostalgic for Sherman’s March tbh. We can spare Charleston and Savannah this time though.

I mean dunamancy is space-time magic. If you can manipulate space-time at a fundamental level you can make your own luck. It makes sense to me, even if it does cover a lot of different aspects of magic.

Most of us (even democrats) want to go vote in the Republican Caucasus in a few weeks. That’s what my family is planning on doing anyway. Voting in this primary is a waste of time, because Biden is going to get the DNC nomination, there is basically no point in voting right now.

Down the line, yes there is still a point voting in November, since we’ll be able to vote for local officials as well, even if SC will just vote into red for the 40th year in a row or whatever the actual stat is.

Really? I feel like Scadrial is the better choice here. Though I haven’t finished the Lost Metal yet, so something crazy may happen at the end that makes me reconsider this lol.

Have you considered prestidigitation or minor illusion?

They’re my two favorite spells on the game. Usually if I’m playing a spellcasting with access to them I’ll grab at least one, if not both. Message and Mending are some follow up favorites. Guidance is mechanically very powerful and spammable, assuming you can stay out of earshot of unassuming NPCs you want to haggle with.

Prestidigitation is basically a very small, very localized Wish spell and can do nearly anything if you have creativity. Cleaning and soiling is good for role play, preventing disease (if you all track that sort of stuff), warming and cooling is good for role play as well. Everyone loves their cold drinks to stay frosty after all. You can also summon real small trinkets that are smaller than the palm of your hand. Want some sunglasses for walking away from an explosion?

Minor illusion can do much the same, but in a larger area. I’ve found it to be a solid choice for distracting enemies based on the situation. Once, we were being accosted by cannibalistic fish men, and I used minor illusion to conjure a fish man’s severed head near the party to distract them for a round. You can also create (some) cover using minor illusion, so the ranger or rogue can shoot their bow or crossbow with ½ or ¾ cover pretty much anywhere. This could work if you too if you’re at a range. Approaching an enemy with ranged weapons and they’re more than your walking speed away?

Walk 30 feet toward them, creat a 5 foot tall boulder, and stick yourself behind it and potentially gain +2 to +5 AC or be untargetable unless they see through the illusion.

Edit: the cover will only be useful if you have a decent spellcasting modifier and/or the creatures you’re fighting don’t have blind/truesight/tremorsense. I can’t find the rules offhand, but I believe seeing through illusions requires an investigation check of 10 + your spellcasting modifier to see through. So if you’re using Intelligence to cast you may only have a DC of 9-11 as a fighter, and many passive investigations can see through the illusions.

I’m convinced that the joke has to be so specific to that person’s sense of humor that it would not be funny to us.

Sometimes it’s better not to know.

I have rewatched Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann twice since I originally watched it in 2014, and it held up.

I also occasionally watch the final fight of the Lagann-hen movie on YouTube and it still holds up.

Honestly I’d love a GCN emulator if you know of a good one for iOS. I use Dolphin on my laptop, but I’m not always able to be on my laptop.

If Telekinesis can work like Steelpushing in Mistborn, I’d just get that.

Thanks, edited the comment!

I know nothing about Kagi, except that it requires an account and is paid. So I assume all searches are tied to that account and there is no way to do an anonymous search.

Disregard I’m a fool

Didn’t 2048 go viral before Apple Arcade even existed?

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Mass Effect.

Always been a big fan of all the shotguns. Specifically Geth Plasma Shotgun.

Hey! I’m a nerdy, windows hating, early tech adopter who is strongly considering switching his personal PC to Linux but has very limited time in which to do so.

I don’t recall that quote off the top of my head. What chapter is it in?
