wizard … However, every DM I have played with seems to forget that spell scrolls, especially Cantrip spell scrolls, are a thing that exist and can be found as loot.

The DM has a tonne of crap to manage. Most modern modules don’t do a very good job of providing dungeons or other places to grind loot.

Talk to the DM and tell them your wizard goals. Hopefully they’ll help you down that path. I was playing an Evoker, and I wanted to up my Int, so my DM and I worked out some purchases and loot to make that happen.

I have no idea if I’ll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

I think there are much better social media platforms for sharing clips. From what I’ve seen, most of Twitter is people angrily typing opinions at each other, so your target demographic may not be there. The UI is designed for text rather than video, and responses/reactions don’t integrate nicely with videos.

Sharing game clips on video-oriented social media makes a tonne sense, however.

Reading the old school D&D subreddit, I also came to realize that dungeons can be reskinned to pretty much any setting, so long as you keep the basic tenets:

1. something that the party is running out of, so that they need to go back home to resupply
2. an escalating reward for pushing on,
3. unforeseen risks that make travel risky

So the setting could be the old West, a spacecraft, dungeons, a wilderness, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, etc.

And not everybody likes sandboxes. I tried to get my group to play a sandbox adventure and about half of them lost interest. Sometimes people want a nice predictable plot to pull them along.

This. You want to run a certain type of game, and your players want to play a certain type of game. If you can pitch a dungeon crawl that also scratches their itches, then everyone might be happy.

Let me guess, the downside is infinite teeth.

I guess they’re discovering that your grocery store trip on Feb 17, 2017 does not help them target ads.

The data has costs associated with it: they’ll want to back it up, they need to migrate it when they change formats, they need to maintain the hardware it resides on.

And, as the article mentions, there are liabilities around law enforcement requests, costs due to data breaches, and regulatory requirements.

Three months is plenty for them to target ads.

That was an interesting read. Thanks for linking to it.

That’s pretty interesting. It looks like they define inaccessible links as urls that get a 404 or the server doesn’t resolve.

I wonder if there are any real implications of this. We seem to know it and work around it in some cases, e.g. StackOverflow saying answers need to contain quotes from pages they reference.

needing a login that would require an email address is sketchy as hell on the surface, and there’s no explanation given.

The link to the explanation is right beside the text saying you need an account.

Older than what? Here are self reported stats from lemmy.ca:

people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.

Lemmy skews old. For some of us, those are foundational events in our childhood.

(Kinda joking/kinda serious)

An Arcane Trickster has invisible Mage Hand, so they can yoink pretty effectively.

I don’t think software releases tell the story. From a non-mod perspective, Lemmy is an okay Reddit replacement.

But, recently, there seem to be fewer non-bot posts. The communities I follow have a handful of active users. It feels like it’s stagnant at best.

no no everything the government does is bad and malware and spyware and not foss and you should install graphene

• Android 15 could revamp the lock screen and notifications panel to look better in landscape mode on phones.
• The lock screen can’t even be rotated into landscape mode on phones right now.
• Meanwhile, the notifications panel can be rotated into landscape mode, but the layout sacrifices a lot of space.
