Picard starts every day by broadcasting "Space.... The final frontier" to the crew

Well then.

When they come for you, remember to save a bullet for yourself.

Look, I've been DMing for going on 20 years, and I like to think most of my players have had a good time. D&D isn't about adhiring strictly to the rules, it's about forging an entertaining adventure with your group. 90% of the time, I use the numbers I roll, but sometimes fudging those die can serve to make the game more enjoyable.

Is a boss battle not quite packing the oomph I intended it to? Maybe give the baddie a few good licks in to keep the players on their toes. Has someone been having a really rough time with an encounter and seems frustrated? Maybe just ignore that crit I just rolled. As long as you're not killing players, there's no harm in fudging the dice every once in a while.

Iirc he hit that Uruk 2-3 times in the chest, probably the heart. That motherfucker just kept going and yeeted himself into the grate when his body was giving out.

I still enjoyed the first game but wasn't one of the lead devs on KCD a capital G Gamer? I remember some... interesting tweets from him. Was he booted or did he change his ways?

Edit: Derp, should have just read the article before commenting. Fascism eats its own yet again.

Man, I would be such an easy mark for Tar-Mairon to corrupt.

Is he? The two have many shared interest sure, and maybe he has some dirt on Musk. I feel like if Putin was the "grand puppet master" he's often made out to be then the war in Ukraine would be going much better for him. The article above seems to indicate that Putins influence has waned considerably since 2016.

Pure speculation, but could Trump no longer be as beholden to Putin as he so clearly was in his first term? Musk seems to be holding his reins now, and maybe he realizes any Kompromat the Russians may have had just doesn't matter any more in the face of his cult of personality.

That said, it seems to be in both parties best interest for Putin to get out of the war while Trump is in office. A president favorable to Russia gets a big win on the world stage, and Russia gets to quietly back out of a conflict that has been a complete disaster for them.

Ah yes, my vegetable plot lots in Manor Lords!

Unrelated to the opsec, why is a SpongeBob Movie premiering on Netflix? Isn't Nickelodeon Paramount?

The ruling class has always been like this. They were just able to hide it better before social media.

As someone very burnt out on Marvel, I'm cautiously looking forward to this. Daredevil was the best thing to come out of the MCU.

 

I’m genuinely curious. Years ago, I was a chubby young pothead who lived on fast food. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, KFC, you name it—I ate it. Back in college, fast food probably made up at least 50% of my diet. And it wasn’t just because it was quick and cheap—I actually enjoyed it.

But these days, I find myself craving it less and less. Besides being more health-conscious, it just doesn’t hit the spot like it used to. It’s more expensive than ever, mostly bland, and I feel terrible after I eat it. So what’s changed? Is it just part of the enshitification of everything? Have I just gotten old, or has fast food really gone downhill?
