How many generations ago did you write that comment?
People dink for fun mostly, or to make the experience more comfortable for them, rather than for productivity

A little confused by what you mean. TTRPGs were not originally about tactical combat (old RPGs were very lethal so combat was a fail state), and wouldn't tactical combat (rather than the RP) make the game more soloable…

It's more like if mineral placement was randomized at the start of a game, with players having uneven access. What you are describing with the build order exists also. Many Magic decks have a single game plan ("rush",…
This all seems a little misguided. All standard dice have opposite sides adding up to the same number and are otherwise evenly distributed, so a bias would have to be quite noticeable to skew the results on average.…
So the Middle East and South America is okay but Canada is off limits?
Do people actually use hard mode? Seems like its only "harder" in the sense that it forces you to play less intelligently.
Do you consider hitting enter/return for a newline to be clunky as well? Its generally the same size as caps lock and opposite it on the keyboard. I'd say I press return a bit more often then Esc when using vim, but its…
You find it suspicious that most of the stories that become popular are appealing as stories and are the sort of stories people tend to tell? Is it also suspicious that they are all in English? I'm sure some of them are…
In case it helps anyone, doing regex-based search/edit in vim was annoying until I found this plugin. https://github.com/haya14busa/incsearch.vim
The laws of the country you live in have answers to those questions. Usually, you are the only person legally allowed to use your bank account. Nobody else is legally allowed to publish your book under their name, etc.…
What ironclad guarantees does the NFT provide?
No, they are comparing the atrocities of the Chinese government that inspired Tianamen Square to slavery, without saying that the two are equivalent

Just as a warning, its a relentlessly horny work. At least in the original series every single female character is sexualized, and two of them are 14 years old. There is at least one instance of "casual" sexual assault.…
So for the 97% of humanity that are worse off than american software engineers, you think they are just not trying hard enough?

Thanks for the citations. I'm always wary of this sort of reasoning since people often arrive at it via folk etymology, but this was very informative
All I'm seeing from your comment is insulting OP's desire to not spend time cooking, and shaming it as being lazy. You don't even bother to back up your claim that it's not menial. Is shame really all you have to bring…
You should really take a look at FoundryVTT. Its a one-time purchase of $50 if you are willing to self-host it. I've been using it for the past year or so, and I've had almost no issues (none that reading the docs or…
