I actually agree, that could be pretty fun. That said this puts a lot of work / pressure on the DM so it is definitely something to be discussed rather than used to be lazy. (To be clear, I am not reading this into what you said. Just saying it out loud is all)

Remember when they promised a modding API? I sure do.

I have been looking forward to this game. I love the trucks in space aesthetic, silly as it is, and I love space games where you can leave the cockpit like that. I played a demo during Next Fest and it seemed a bit janky, but maybe they fixed it or maybe it was just me not gelling with it at the time.

Redline is unironically one of my favorite movies. It’s just so silly, and I love it. “We’re losing the race, what do we do!?” “What if we pressed the pedal down…harder” And then they go faster.

This is funny, but I think stereotypical vampire lore still stands. I think it’s only direct sunlight that is an issue. If a vampire stands in a room with an open window, but off to the side, they’re generally considered fine. If light reflected off a wall is ok then why is the moon not?

I think just because in most other cases that’s how this is presented. That’s at least how the journalist here presented it “And I’m not under NDA. I have signed no contracts and made no verbal agreements; I haven’t even clicked through a EULA”. What you’re saying is why I agree with you here, that Valve was in the right to ban him.

That might be an issue for most other companies, but press events are not really Valves thing. Probably not much fear on his part there.

I think Valve banning him in this case is reasonable. It’s an invite only free to play game. That said, clicking ok on some random text box is not a binding contract. Companies like to frame it like it is, but it’s not.

I really really like this game, but is it ready for 1.0? Last I played a few months ago the simulation felt…lacking. The structure seems there, but things like NPCs walking around their apartments at all hours of the night make things difficult, as an example.

I actually agree, I own my computer / OS and I should be able to do what you’re saying (install and break things). But Microsoft is a trillion dollar multi national corporation and I am certainly going to give them grief about this because I owe them less than nothing, let alone any good will.

It does still work, and my gut says it’s going to work for a long time. Unless they majorly re-kajigger the way windows works in future versions

I’m sorry, but I think I disagree. I interpreted your point as “Employers care, you just have to hold them accountable”. I don’t think that is the attitude of companies who want to do things the right way. If workers have more rights than they know, and employers are aware of it, then I do not think that’s an mistake, that’s exploitation.

DO most employers want to get this right? Based on the fact that wage theft is the largest form of theft even with everything else combined, I think that’s either a lie or a stupid thing to say.

Also, I just don’t understand under what circumstances anyone should be exempt from overtime. Is there some group of people who are less deserving of getting paid for their time that I am unaware of? Even (shudder) managers should probably get paid.

I used to like that game and was sad when I went back to play and found I couldn’t

Is this game still a mess? I really hope it gets fixed up at some point.

I believe this does not work for Home. You can bypass it in Pro like this though. Unless something has changed I am not aware of.

A Gnome Artificer who was mute. It was interesting to use only visual langauge to communicate with people. I had a “system” where I could use the magic items / features you get from Gnome and Artificer to talk if I decided I really needed to, but I tried to limit that both for in universe reasons, and meta reasons. Kinda defeats the purpose if you can just magic your way out of it. The idea was that she was cursed by a fey creature, and could cheat a little bit with magic, but eventually the curse would hurt too much to talk more than a little. Eventually I started to feel like the trope of Nynaeve from The Wheel of Time, only replace hair pulling with glares and knowing smiles etc.
