Yeah, I don’t get it either. I made a store for my website a couple of years ago, and jQuery was crucial for me to handle all the events and triggers. Trying to do it in pure JavaScript looked like a complete nightmare.

I like Nextcloud on my TrueNAS scale setup, but for photos I’ve started using Immich. It works extremely well, and does automatic backups of specific folders from your phone. The interface looks nice too.

I’m pretty sure they’re talking about something you can do in a New Game+. If you take the right teleporter at the start of a New Game+, you go straight to the final boss. I’ve done it before, because there’s a special ending!

"Shortly before the Patrician came to power there was a terrible plague of rats. The city council countered it by offering twenty pence for every rat tail. This did, for a week or two, reduce the number of rats—and then people were suddenly queueing up with tails, the city treasury was being drained, and no one seemed to be doing much work. And there still seemed to be a lot of rats around. Lord Vetinari had listened carefully while the problem was explained, and had solved the thing with one memorable phrase which said a lot about him, about the folly of bounty offers, and about the natural instinct of Ankh-Morporkians in any situation involving money: “Tax the rat farms.”

I can hear both of these quotes so clearly. I’m sad about what Blizzard has become.

Oh my sweet summer child. Ringtones were in a different audio format than mp3s. Plus, getting the ringtone onto the phone required additional fuckery.

What the hell, calculators with color screens? Back in my day our graphing calculators were black and gray and we were told to be happy, damn it.

Because it has a silent “P!”

I’m saving this comment for when I feel ready to do that kind of work. I need it

Haha, this is perfect. You encapsulated Shadowrun combat perfectly. How does the Darkness fair in the matrix is my question.

This is the correct answer

And now I will leave Earth for no raisin!

Same here. I love it when people point out stuff I’ve missed.

I freaking love Apocalypse World. It’s one of my favorite systems by far. The world has so much potential to be as expansive as you’d like, and can fluidly adjust to the players actions. I’ve been running a game for a while (which is currently on hiatus because I have a new baby), and it’s a blast.

Oh, so you’re from the Counterweight Continent? What’s it like over there?

Imma beat that fucker with another motherfucker

Ook

By Grabthar’s hammer…what savings.

What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.

The hot take I’ve heard is that our ancient ancestors had a much higher chance of being killed by predators, so being on edge was an evolutionary advantage. According to this idea, the fear and dread of today is a remnant of our past.
