I’m perfectly fine with Mint as a recommendation. It’s not what I would choose, but it does work for a large portion of people without issues.

I am very glad that I hardly ever see Manjaro recommended to new comers anymore though - that’s a curse/trap. There are so much better “Arch but easier” distros now that are rock solid.

I’ve mostly been using https://alexandrite.app/ on both PC and mobile. I have Jerboa installed as well as back-up but only occasionally use it.

Always a good idea to check the CO detectors, just in case.

OH. Ty.

Wait, lead exposure from skydiving?

Oh cool. Thank you for the info. I hear people talking about RISC-V a lot, but was nearing the parks and rec meme of “I don’t know and am too afraid to ask”, lol.

Are the processors good? Like, does performance compare to the alternatives? (I’m assuming these are alternatives to like an ARM based SOC?)

That is unlikely to be the lesson the players learn… More likely they get frustrated and decide either TTRPGs are not for them, or that the DM “sucks”.

That’s a pretty extreme interpretation of being given a gift…

You aren’t even OP… Are you OK?

It seems to me it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to shop for someone that refuses any “new” item.

Also, how many nerdy t-shirts did you gift them before the rule was in place? How did your partner react to all of those t-shirts? Did they immediately demand you return them?

It is a harsh reaction to request a gift just be returned.

For the my layperson friend reading over my shoulder… erm, why?

Sounds good in theory, but imo it is SO much harder (and/or so much less fun) to run a campaign when you have less than no idea what the fuck the party is going to be doing next session…

I feel like you gotta know the party a little bit… If they aren’t the type to talk their way out of a problem, then the monologue has to happen from some relative safety instead of within arms reach of the not-paralyzed barbarian. Hold person exists. Magic Mouth. Message. Hell, a big ol’ balcony above the party.

Else you gotta have a back-up plan like fallout where the players get the information from a journal or something - maybe it isn’t as clearly laid out and it’s harder to follow the breadcrumbs but the party isn’t just lost in the wind looking for the next guy to punch.

Did they release an unredacted copy? All I can find is they came out and claimed it was Giuffre… Not nearly as strong of a position if so.

with a pronounced first syllable

They are one syllable words…

That’s the first one… Wait, how do you think Cache is pronounced??

Damn it, it’s been too long and I forgot the name of slow fall… I think that means you won the internet today.

But it always happens to be the book a new guest wants to check out…

Hope you’re quick on the levitate, cause we are going to summon you off a cliff.

OMG Lemmy “fixes” double spaces after periods??? (Or maybe it is alexandrite doing that?)

I am horrified. Disgusted. Fuck. Back to Reddit I guess, I’d rather be commodified AI training fodder than barred from double spacing after periods.
