not a martian, honest

@Saapas @aceshigh I don’t know why the real stones ALWAYS need to tell you they can stop anytime unasked

@essell @kersploosh sausages

@kyonshi@pixelfed.de @photography@piefed.social @photography@lemmy.world hmm, it does show up as a post on piefed immediately, lemmy took a bit longer. Neither seem to see the comments from #mastodon and #pixelfed (or #lemmy and #piefed respectively).

Oh well.

@Baguette @Appleseuss huh.
*checks memories*

Oh that explains a lot

@Krudler @alorgonkr I dunno, there was some inspired stuff over the years, but over time most artists hit a bit of a wall

@lugal @EfreetSK child mortality rates were pretty fucking high in earlier times. Around the time the original poem was published 40-50% of children under 15 died.

Only vaccines and modern medicine put this down to 4.2% globally in 2022, with the most developed countries reaching 0.3%

That is to say… that poem had a point.

@samus12345 @excral DSA uses a sort of garbled Latin for spells (and Latin as the “old” language Bosparano, with modern Garethi represented as German. Doesn’t make sense in context, but it keeps with the quasi-medieval feel of the setting)

@warbond @ZILtoid1991 nazis. Or at least very happy to platform nazis.

@RareBird15 @selfhost @selfhosted @selfhosting

I have an rpi3b+ with inn2 newsserver (connected out via uucp), postfix, ngircd, thelounge, and a few other things

I also have a vps (dooes that count as self-hosted?) with a similar setup (can’t get uucp to work yet), but also znc and bitlbee

I also had a pihole/unbound dns server, but that one died a while ago

@zaph @Stamets ai just doesn’t do those relations that well. It knows how riddles are supposed to look like, but I doubt it can do the mental leap between questions and answers

@MouseKeyboard @sirblastalot +2 sword, can’t stop attacking until blood is drawn

@loboaureo @copacetic yeah. Until they decide to argue to revoke the license for reasons.

(Also you have to watch out what part is covered under the license, some stuff is gonna be product identity)

(Actually, the beneficial part of this is mostly that you can use their own expression of the rules to make games. Rules as such are not copyrightable, but if you are expressing the rules too similar to their own texts they still could sue you. Using such a license is supposed to take care of that)

@DmMacniel @TheGreatDarkness because it sells. And no matter what hobby stuff is going on, dnd players are disconnected from that to a point. There are people that do not even realize there is a wider hobby outside of 5e

@Obonga @copacetic the author is putting too much effort into writing this. Obviously it hasn’t ruined roleplaying if the hobby didn’t stop. It’s not like people were forced to play that way, not even in 3e. It’s just that a lot of people took to it because it was easier for them. And yes, getting people out of the habit is an issue sometimes, but if it was successful, did it really ruin anything?

People really should calm down sometimes and let people do what they like.

@StringTheory @Five that’s something that some people do actually believe. it is scary that people like that run around, but every ones in a while you run into that sort of person.

@AttackBunny @JoYo modern music always sucks. the reason why the music of the past seems better is because nobody remembers all the chaff that populated the charts.

@lategamer @kyonshi@lemmy.ml actually not much as such, but one barely hears about roleplaying games in that part of the world, and to have it big enough to elicit a government response is interesting, don’t you think?
