Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

I like Chris Hayes’ take as clipped in this video 43 minutes in:
The way that so many prominent voices have focused so exclusively on colleges feels honestly a bit decadent to me. Like we’re doing a paper doll version of conflict because the actual reality of what’s happening in Gaza is so horrific, unceasing, and high-stakes, it’s more enjoyable to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that’s happening in the actual conflict that is, of course, the source of these protests. What seems to be most worth debating isn’t campus speech but whether the US government should contine to fund and support an Israeli war in Gaza that has pushed more than a million people to the brink of famine. A war that has damaged half of the buildings in Gaza. A war that has failed to bring home most of the hostages held by Hamas, that has in fact lead to the death of some those hostages.
This is a good video, thanks.
I’m not all onboard with the conclusions: “YouTube & TikTok good” (I believe they’re overall bad. Fund Peertube.) and “Socialist sentiment is growing” (I believe the overton window has been slipping & skipping to the right for decades now.)

Meanwhile the Free and Open Source community have holy wars over text editors.

Is that still going on? I thought Emacs ruled supreme. Every monarchy a conquered sovereignity.

It’s so weird that they didn’t do this when they introduced the Primaris. Perfect in-universe opportunity.
But the Stormcast Eternals fixed it so 🤷🏻♀️
Sweden has these. But I can’t speak to how good or bad they are because I’ve never lived in one for more than a week or so at a time. I grew up out in the boonies.
As for the video, I like that it (unlike way too many of these video essays) doesn’t bury the lede; he’s up front about his perspective and then spend the rest of the video elaborating and explaining why. That’s an oasis in the desert of “mysterious, let me hold you in suspense for the lede” style videos we see too many of. I get really distracted by his music, though. I can’t fully listen to what he has to say since I get so into the heartbreakingly depressive synth pads.

Kudos to CR for listening to the backlash on this illconsidered project. They must’ve taken quite a hit 💸 but this was not a good idea. I mean, they have their fair share of bad sponsors like NordVPN or D&D Beyond but this was a li’l too much 🤷🏻♀️
4·3 months agoI think this is spot on and I overall dislike the game. One thing that I am a li’l bit interested in is the hitpoints system which seems like a good mix of Fate stressboxes with D&D damage.
The amount of incoming damage can go to certain thresholds and that has different consequences (both symbol-layer mechanical and diegetic). I think that’s neat and I’m glad to see that experiment carried further.
How much gold is in that hoard?
Wow, I had missed that. That’s not good. I mean, CR gets criticized for their “shopping episodes” (even though my own group is even more extreme in that regard) so maybe that’s to address that? Diaspora, for example, just has a “recourses” roll instead of detailed accounting of space credits, and it seems to work well in the context of that game.
How far does that bandit run?
I don’t think that’s a fair characterization; range bands is trued and tested tech. Cartesian spatialization is overkill for most game groups.

Elves are of a culture that’s long familiar with magic yet respects magic and its ways.
The problem with this is that it makes going left the same as going right, meaning that any decisions by the players where their characters should go become meaningless. I use a ton of random generators but it’s in conjunction with more prepared stuff.

0·7 months agoThere’s a lot of extreme content on the Fediverse (such as harassment).
Not sure. There’s a lot of kinda creepy stuff on here 😰
01·7 months agoThe wrong thing was that “It doesn’t matter what the US does” when the US is exceptionally culpable on the demand side, the drill side, and the policy side.
@RoseTintedGlasses, please delete the “?si=DA_SvGPsJtNS1lFD” part of the links 🙏🏻
@thorbot@lemmy.world
And looking at per capita, consumtion based, the US is ten times as bad as China. US: 20 tons per person. China: 2 tons. I think the world average is 4t.
China still needs to cut down because 2 tons is a lot more than what is OK but holy shit saying
But the problem is, even if all of the US came together and stopped 100% of our emissions, China would still continue to pump out 90% of the world emissions
is the wrongest thing I’ve ever heard. There are very few countries on this planet who arr doing worse than the US:

Oh, that is wonderful!
Yeah, I’ve been reading Nick Bentley, he’s like been wary of even simple abstracts, let alone a full euro. I’m still gonna cut down overall (not buying new hardware is better than buying harm-reduced hardware) but I’m glad they’re trying to harm-reduce! 👍🏻
Makes me more interested in the game.
There’s also cook’s utensil rules in XGE.
