  • I mean, Tatooine comes up more than other planets in the movies, but it's not actually all that strange.

    Tatooine is where Luke grew up, in the farm of his uncle and aunt. Which immediately ties his father to that place in some fashion. Or you would have to explain why Owen and Beru chose to move there, which seems much more difficult.

    Han Solo is there trying to work things out with Jabba, which doesn't go well at all, but does explain why we go back to Tatooine for a third time in RotJ: that's just where Jabba lives.

  • Gustavo Gusto frozen pizza is better than at least 80% of delivery pizza anyway, so I just stock those.

  • The reason that polar bear liver has toxic levels of vitamin A is that seal liver does and polar bears eat those.

    So don't eat seal liver either.

  • Gothic or if you want jank

    I love the implication that Gothic is not jank here. It's a great RPG (the first two) partly due to being janky.

    Nothing better than literally killing the unbreakable orc siege in G2 chapter 2 because they can't deal with sidesteps.

  • Store brand Aragorn?

  • They're still working out some kinks, but yes, the new UI of Thunderbird 115+ is pretty good.

  • At that point, the scale is just different. That's when the brother of the chief gets to build his new hut on the nice hill.

  • Clearly Brandon poisoned the Georgian Hydroxychloroquine supplies!

  • The stuff that was reported should honestly be enough for it to be over already, no need for anything worse.

  • These people being part of Die Linke (literally The left, Germany's left-wing party) were one of the reasons that party was unvotable up until now.

    Die Linke will surely lose some (crazy) voters to BSW, but might gain some from the SPD (social democrats) or the Green party in return.

  • I'm not familiar with the current state of Linux, but the minimum usability bar for the general public is never ever having to open a terminal.

  • If there's only one attractive woman in the group she survives.

  • I do get the meme, but I can't really think of a way to hide specifically the result of a failed wisdom save from a player.

    Like how would you tell a player sometime like "You feel like Alric is a wonderful person despite the corpse he is looming over" without it being very obviously a failed save against charm person? Same for basically any other enchantment.

    Other spells with wisdom save are even more obvious by virtue of taking damage, or being turned into a cow.

    Detect thoughts and dream are the only two I could find where rolling in secret works for wisdom saves.

  • True, but that's not what the 12h clock does. It starts at 12, then jumps to 1 and counts all the way up to 11, then restarts at 12.

  • It works, but it's still a workaround for a thoroughly confusing notation instead of just using 24h time.

  • Pathfinder was created as an updated version of D&D 3.5, which was very complex. PF food streamline parts of it, but ended up just as complex at some point, mostly due to the massive variety of options available through splat books.

    Meanwhile, D&D 5e was released to be much less complex by getting rid of stacking bonuses and the vast majority of math.

    Parhfinder 2 (which I have not actually played yet) did not do that. They opted for streamlining the existing system by combining several similar subsystems into one (i.e. everything is a feat now). But the math is still there.
