D&D's 5e SRD was released under CC-BY. It only includes one subclass per class and a handful of monsters, but it's all the rules.

Tales of the Valiant and Pathfinder 2e both have SRDs licensed under the ORC license and are based in D&D-type gameplay.

FATE is a different type of TTRPG that has a SRD licensed both under OGL and CC-BY.

Powered by the Apocalypse is a different system and has a permissive, but hand-wavey license.

Of all of these, ToV is the most like 5e without being controlled by a multi-national, public company.

Yeah. I worked for a SaaS company that had two rounds of layoffs because they hired C-suite executives who were better at talking than building software or running product teams.

One was let go in the layoffs -- but given a book of clients to start a competing business. The other is still there holding pointless meetings that keep people from getting work done.

I agree with you, and normally like posts to just use the original headline, but in this case, it feels like the newspaper is pro-KOSA. They mention in the article hundreds of organizations support the legislation but don't mention the hundreds that have opposed it.

Perhaps something like "Microsoft president endorses online child safety bill night before Big Tech hearing [Bill is opposed by EFF over censorship concerns]" would be a better way to handle adding context.

I saved your post to try out the game. Sadly, it appears that it's being erased from the Internet.

"Spec Ops: The Line ... has been delisted from Steam, with other online stores to follow."

I don't even understand your rant. The committee running WorldCon each year has total control over the Hugo awards. This year the "Chengdu Worldcon Hugo committee had inserted a worrying clause indicating that local government officials could invalidate nominations for breaching the norms and standards of China."

What did that have to do with the UK or any other year's WorldCon?

The caveat being that writing quality isn't a reason to mark a book as "Not Eligible". So even with your critique, it seems odd that you'd have increased confidence in the awards because a government censored a book you didn't like.

Valid points! It looks like this was only her second film as armorer and the line producer scolded her for spending too much time focusing on armory. She warned that mistakes would happen.

If you believe that prison (or any criminal sentence) is for rehabilitation and restoration instead of punishment, what's the hopeful outcome here?

I'm sure the guy already isn't going to want to work with real guns on any future movie set. Sending him to a rich white guy prison for 18 months won't change that. Nor will it change the laws or practices of what's happening on movie sets. And it won't bring any restitution to the victims' family unless they, in turn, sue.

Seems like the best outcome here would be a plea deal that involves pleading "no contest", barred from using real firearms, and committing to financial restitution for the family.

Their recommendation algorithm was terrible. It just sent me every article from BookRiot and any article that mentioned whiskey.

Well that's some bull. The software knows what items are covered and which aren't, so that's just assuming folks needing help are thieves.

At Giant, I'm pretty sure it's decided by the system based on some algorithm, not the employee. The one time I was audited, we were in the store for a long time and had removed a few items from the cart after adding them.

The audit consisted of the employee scanning ten random items and confirming we had scanned them too.

You made choices and got the results of those choices. The alternative results are different.

!There are multiple endings where Karlach survives in different ways. Shadowheart's story has at least three possible outcomes, maybe more that I haven't seen. This goes on and on for each origin character. Even NPCs you encounter in Act 3 are shaped by your choices earlier in the game.!<

Frankly, based on your description, it sounds like you made a bunch of lame decisions. There's neat endings and then the middling one you got.

Literally went to every site in Authy and removed 2FA and then re-added it with the new app.

Spent an hour last night moving to 2FAS. Authy doesn't make it easy -- unlike their competitors, they don't offer an export feature.

I can't tell from their page -- is it syncing via a SaaS service or just out to a file store like Google Drive?

Edit: It does sync with Google Drive and file exports. No SaaS component that I can see.

I'd watch it because I distinctly remember being let down by the ending of the last version -- everything after the writers' strike was hot garbage. American TV really needs to learn to do tight seasons and series instead of dragging everything out until fans give up on it.

They already said that the Brave API is cheaper for them. That's the motive. They keep charging the same but pay less.

Right. They flat out said the Brave API is cheaper.

You mean you don't see the synergy between Firefox and an AI landing page generator? /s

There is a very good chance that the PC platform will be a really horrible place because of the lack of consumer choice in which they can purchase and play games.

I agree with the sentiment that Steam will eventually have a shitification, but I remain optimistic because the PC platform is more open than mobile platforms.

GOG and Humble are existing, smaller stores. Microsoft had three stores they use to sell and install games. Half of the FAANG companies would love to get in on this space if an opportunity showed itself. If we get past high interest rates, I can see VCs getting in on this space.

It won't be pretty and we can support smaller options now. But I don't think it'll be horrible.
