Pretty sure that’s a plain.

If I was Winnie the Pooh, I’d pay Owl to go under deep cover for years to get control over the switches, or Kanga to make sure the Switch Master is indisposed when a military assault begins, or Eeyore to physically disable the switches before the attack. Winnie the Pooh has lots of options.

tsmc has already said they’ve installed kill switches on these.

They’d be the first target if/when open hostilities break out. c/ncd loves to shit on the PLA, but I bet this is something they’d try to get right.

I wish we could deescalate this conflict because it benefits NOBODY.

/uj

• China benefits because they have an enemy that plays well to a domestic audience
• China would benefit if it could get TSMC’s foundries undamaged;
• US benefits because Taiwan wants a big buddy to keep it safe, so they’re forced into a de facto alliance
• US benefits because it has somewhere to park warships off China’s shores

/rj MIC goes brrrrrrrrrr

Huh. It sounds like TV had it right this time. I assumed smelling salts were a convenient plot device, rather than an actual thing.

just tabaxi things

BROTHER, I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU’RE WHISPERING, BUT YOU NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME CRANKING YOUR HOG. WHEN YOU FEEL THE JOY OF THE OPEN ROAD YOU MIGHT THINK “MF IT, THAT’S TOO REDUCTIONIST”. IS THE MACHINE BETWEEN MY LEGS A MERE MACHINE, OR IS MY HOG A ROARING SNARLING WOLF THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE MADE OF LEATHER AND CHROME?

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.

Let me guess, the downside is infinite teeth.

This looks similar to the Hobson bike seat I’ve been using for the last couple of decades. I recommend the Hobson - it’s very comfortable. Maybe this one will be great too.

The Cyberpunk mission format encourages authors to make less linear scenarios. It reminds the author that multiple paths are to be expected.

Having said that, I have a hard time with Kibble Flavoured Popcorn and Drummer and the Whale from Tales of the Red because scenes aren’t tied together well, or some scenes don’t require the players to do anything.

This is where the remixes come in. Seasoned GMs can easily improve individual scenes while keeping the shape of the adventure.

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.

Yeah! That’s the one. The Cyberpunk RED subreddit has some good remixes of the missions.

Waterdeep: Dragonheist was pretty rough. There isn’t a lot of player choice, and there’s a ten scene railroad where the macguffin is yoinked away from the players at the end of each scene.

War of the Burning Sky was similarly linear.

So far I like some of missions in Tales of Night City.

Missions are hard to write. Most of the ones I’ve looked at (for D&D, old school D&D, and Cyberpunk RED) have been weak. I find the best missions are remixes of official modules written by GMs who have run them.

if the dice are the be-all-end-all, why have a GM at the table?

Dice are terrible at making battlemaps, and don’t get me started on their awful faux-Scottish accents.

Counterpoint: cutting a tomato with a newly sharpened knife - it glides through so easily.

The boats transform.

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