I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner’s permit for driving, you can vote even if you’re under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.

15 minutes well spent

I’ve heard they may actually be the ancestor breed of corgis

Rule 5: must be a topic of discussion

This is not a subject of discussion. It’s just OP saying “help me do my job pls”

I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche

!osr@lemmy.world (Inactive, but I’d love to see this one get some new activity, I just started getting into more OSR stuff recently)

Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan

No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread

Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.

Dead link for me

As a forever DM, this is pretty real. I try to always hear my players when they tell me they had fun and take it to heart.

You’re always your own worst critic.

Halloween, in January?

Now I’m imagining the deal between Tesla and Siemens:

Siemens guy: alright Mr Musk, just sign these papers and the mireo will be leased to your company

Elon (in 8 year old voice): woo! I made a Giga train! Choo Choo!

Siemens guy: umm, okay… As I said, the train is a Siemens Mireo. Hopefully this lease agreement will benefit both of our companies

Elon: nuh uh! It’s a Giga train and I invented it! Nobody ever had anything like this for getting around before!

Trial by combat

For like 5 people?

A good initiative, but given that Ontario is controlled by the Ford mafia, I don’t imagine there’s much chance of it succeeding.

If I’m writing a blacklist for slurs, I’m not thinking of archaic words like “griffe”. I’m just making sure it doesn’t use anything that would be used in a modern context.

Fun fact: you get more accurate info by simply running man hier

Unless the game procedurally generates the words from a dictionary
