  • Ime, players are entirely willing to accept an extremely short session just so I can prep and set back up after they throw me a massive curveball. If you're capable of doing it on the fly, that's great, but I'm not and my players usually understand.

    Had a twelve minute session once because I forgot I gave the party a foldable boat like three months ago on a whim, and they used it to skip the next ~3 sessions of content. I had an entire thing setup where they'd help a dwarfhold hunt a dragon, and had started on some city-based intrigue in the next area.

    I just leveled with them that I had not even slightly expected this session to go this way and had nothing prepped so we'd stop early and pick it up next time.

  • How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same?

  • Hello, I'm an American and I'm probably as shy and sociall awkward as you lol.

  • The handful of statues that are actual civil war era artefacts we can keep, imo. Put them in a museum or an exhibit in a state park or something. Give it proper context, but let it exist.

    The vast majority of them were built after the civil war in the jim crow era south, and those we can break into gravel and use for something fitting.

  • The origin of the word 'county' is:

    The term is derived from the Old French comté denoting a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count (earl) or, in his stead, a viscount (vicomte).

    It no longer has anything to do with feudalism, just like parish has nothing to do with religion anymore.

  • Palworld Modders Are Restoring Mechanics Pocketpair Was Forced to Patch Out Due to Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s Patent Lawsuit - IGN

  • Nintendo informed Sony they had cancelled their SNES-CD add-on by announcing an SNES-CD add-on made by Philips. At the Consumer Electronics Show. After Sony’s big presentation about their SNES-CD add-on.

    Sony really ended up winning with that one in the long run, though.

  • It's a landing flap, not an aileron. All losing it is going to do is make it somewhat more difficult to land the plane.

  • Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?

    Jump

  • Swapping entirely to renewable energy is cool and all but not as easy as "just use a bunch of solar panels???" The issue is that most renewables are some mix of a: unreliable, and b: geographical.

    Wind isn't going to be blowing 24/7 in most places, so wind is unreliable. The sun isn't always shining in most places, so solar power is unreliable. Hydro is amazing if you have it, but it isn't the kind of thing you can just build anywhere. Geothermal is also great if you have it, but again isn't the kind of thing you can just build.

    Meanwhile, the power grid requires reliability. It's incredibly important. The obvious kneejerk response is "but batteries?" which would work and all but you're basically suggesting we produce enough power during the day to cover usage overnight, which is a tall order. There's also the fact that the kind of battery banks we're talking about would be ruinously expensive, and probably some amount of dangerous.

    Also, like other people have said: coal/gas are cheap and ubiquitous. Both of those words might as well be synonyms for 'more money'. Realistically, that's the primary reason.

  • Games on my PC start stuttering pretty badly when they aren't the active window for a while. Have to close the game and restart to resolve the stuttering issue. What exactly is causing this?

    Jump

  • Reinstalling windows is hardly a laborious task most of the time, but even then my main point was that buying a 32GB SSD is pointless when you can get much larger ones for extremely cheap. Even if you don't use it as a boot drive, more fast storage is never going to be a downside.

    Jump

  • You could add an SSD specifically to serve as a pagefile location and nothing else, in which case you could just get a small cheap one (a 32GB SSD would be more than enough for 16GB of RAM)

    Honestly, assuming OP isn't somewhere that the market for PC parts is extremely wonky compared to the US, if you're going to get an SSD you might as well go ahead and get one big enough to serve as a boot drive. A 256gb SATA SSD is ~$20, and should be fine for that purpose. It probably won't have DRAM at that price point, but realistically it's not really necessary and still going to be a night and day upgrade over an HDD.

  • Double standards

    Jump

  • Oh, shit, apparently I'm nearly as bad. I didn't realize that was offensive(assuming google even found the right word lol). I absolutely see how it is after thinking about it, though. Thankfully I don't think I've ever actually called anyone that.

  • Don't believe everything that you read

  • It's gotta be a joke, right? I assumed it was a joke. Not Kanye, to be clear, he was probably entirely serious.

  • I probably fucked up as a GM, but my first WFRP session was funny in hinsight

  • There's nothing wrong with running a game explicitly intended to have a chance to kill PCs, as long as everyone is aware of that ahead of time.

  • Gears of War: Reloaded Coming in Summer, Even on Playstation

    Jump

  • This game has already had a remaster in 2015. I'd rather they remaster Gears 2, 3, or Judgement. Y'know, all the ones I can't play without an Xbox.

  • ‘Destiny 2’ Content Vaulting Causes More Legal Problems For Bungie

    Jump

  • You're right- when it works Destiny 2 absolutely works. Plus there's very little that fits the niche it's in, honestly. PvE shooters with that kind of replayability aren't incredibly common.

  • ‘Destiny 2’ Content Vaulting Causes More Legal Problems For Bungie

    Jump

  • That was my biggest issue with it- the FOMO, but it's not nearly as bad as it was. At least it doesn't seem like it. Maybe they'll still prove me wrong. I've only been playing again for a month or so.

    But I stopped playing around Shadowkeep, and I got everything since (so I think four or five expansions) for like $35. Which is a solid value considering I mostly just wanted to play the campaigns, and do some funny builds.

  • Yeah. I actually gave it another go recently, and it's not quite as horrible about nickle and diming you as it was.

  • Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you?

    Jump

  • Okay, so: is it because you reasonably expect that from your friend? Have they given you reason to expect these things? Or is it more just an anxiety thing? Like, you know it's not a reasonable fear, but your brain still won't let go?

    If A: no, that's not normal and he's hella toxic. Especially the online anonymity thing- what the fuck?

    If B: no, that's not exactly normal but anxiety is a bitch sometimes.

  • TIL identical twins don't have identical fingerprints

    Jump

  • They do, but they also might not.

    The part of your skin that actually causes your fingerprint is relatively deep into your skin. So it'd need to be a pretty serious injury to permanently change your fingerprint at all.
