@TechConnectify This was amazingly well researched and put together, like most of your videos.Hopefully this will get some people to understand the importance of moving on from fossil fuels many instances. I came for the video and stayed for the amazing rallying cry during the latter part.Keep up the amazing research and thank you for speaking out, though it's unfortunate that you felt like you had to.

Was thinking more like satellite imagery as background. I feel like there’s no way such faint an object would be visible through the atmosphere. But maybe I’ve just never been far enough away from civilisation.

I’m never going to learn. I come across this kind of obtuseness painfully often in rpg discussions, and I’m always – and I mean always – caught off guard by it. I just expect TTRPG fans to be into things like world building and the deeper questions of setting, and they keep telling me that the only thing they’re cognizant of is stat blocks and rules interactions. To the point where I’ve been told that everything but grid-based combat and roll resolutions is just empty set dressing. I’ve come to, but seem incapable of holding on to, the conclusion that most TTRPG fans just want an XCOM game they can bully in order to get their way. Which is a shame, because @juergen_hubert@mementomori.social has a lot of interesting things to say on RPG settings, and the stories that inspire and underpin them, and having almost everyone completely talk past the prompt was disheartening.

@vortiwife@retro.pizza i just blocked someone for saying “if you don’t want to play board games in your rpg just go do theater” This is the kind of take that triggers my monthly crash out on r/Pathfinder2e. Usually in the comments of a post complaining about the various bits of the game that support things other than gridded combat.

My thought? The factory grows. This is good. You must shut up and let the factory grow. The factory grows. The factory must grow.

Fox News Sends Trump Quarterly Tithe Of 3 Blond AnchorsWASHINGTON—Saying the sumptuous gift should slake the administration’s thirst for the next few months, Fox News sent President Donald Trump its quarterly tithe of three blond anchors, White House sources confirmed Friday. “We have traveled south to the White House steps to present you with these three Kayleighs,” said Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoc…#theonionhttps://theonion.com/fox-news-sends-trump-quarterly-tithe-of-3-blond-anchors/

@katemorley I hate it when people mix these up!

@Taskerland Do you actually like interacting with RPG people?

@Taskerland @dregntaelAs near as I can tell, his going the whole 'I hate performatist RPers, which I just made a term for now" route was caused by a mix of being confused by how people RP on Discord (though I'll grant that *ending* your descriptive prose with a straightforward "Action A, bonus action B, done" is helpful) and irritated by the way professional RP streams have influenced the hobby.

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve played FInal Fantasy 7. Like, probably 25 years now. Maybe 20. But definitely before I permanently moved away from home. It’s one of my favourite games of all time, but also, one of the hardest for me to revisit. I’m at the City of the Ancients now, and I’m finding myself woefully unprepared to handle it.

I explicitly looked for “evil races ttrpg” in YouTube and most of the results are from 2-5 years ago. Who’s blowing up the algorithm by raising a dead topic?

Wild, people talk to me with an alarming frequency. Maybe Haligonians are just uncomfortably chatty.

When was the first exoplanet discovered? You might read it was in 1992, but in fact the first evidence for the existence of alien worlds was found before then. Way before then.Like, in *1917*.I love this story.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-was-the-first-exoplanet-discovered/

Fading Suns core rulebook.

I’ve been doing this for a while, but it’s a problem I’ve never solved. Dunno if it’s my crust recipe or something I need to do during construction. The recipe is as follows: 1c water, 120°F 1 packet dry active yeast (2.25tsp) 1Tbsp granulated sugar 2Tbsp olive oil 3.5C white flour 1tsp salt Mix the yeast and sugar in the warm water, wait to bloom Add everything else and mix into dough. Knead, proof Roll out, transfer to pan Second proof (optional) Preheat oven to 425°F Construct pizza with favorite toppings Bake at 425°F for 15min or until cheese is sufficiently browned Step 7 usually has jarred marinara, meats (except pepperoni), spices, and cheese, and all the veggies (and pepperoni) go on top. Still, the very middle part of the pizza ends up a little doughy, just where the sauce meets the crust. The outside of the pizza is just fine, but the only thing I can think is that the sauce is adding too much water. Do I need to add a layer of oil before the sauce, or should I try to reduce the sauce before adding it? Should I reduce the temp and increase the time? Thanks!
