Two husbands, a wife, and a talking battleaxe spouse that doesn’t seem interested in answering questions about gender.

Adobe products suck so fucking much, all of the linux alternatives I’ve used are better in every way (for my purposes)

Pretty much everything about drow lore is mega yikes tbh. It’s no surprise that PF2E was basically like “no fuck you theres no such thing as a drow, leave them in the past”

So don’t even bother locking your front door then?

Pretty much because cops might walk in if there’s nothing physically stopping them but they’d have to do a bunch of paperwork if they smash my window to get in. In a world without cops I probably wouldn’t lock my doors.

Let’s not make it easy for the rando who doesn’t know much of anything.

When and why is “the rando who doesn’t know much of anything” accessing your home PC?

Home computer? I wouldn’t even have a password. If someone has physical access to your PC there are ways for them to get what they want no matter how strong your password is. You just need it to be secure enough to prevent specific people you know have access from getting in. Family, friends, whatever. So basically the only risk is that you use a password that they know you use because you shared an account with them or something.

If you write something, you own the copyright, period. There’s no registration process or anything like that. If you made it, it’s yours, legally. And the only process involved to exercise your legal rights would just be proving that you’re actually the one who made it.

Of course, none of that makes it certain that no one will claim it as their own or use it for something you don’t want. As a general rule, just assume that anything you don’t want used in a way you don’t like simply shouldn’t be put out into the public at all, regardless of what kind of license you package with it. If you’re an average person and not a billionaire good luck exercising any kind of legal rights for intangible stuff like written words.

It is generally a good idea to include with anything you put out there some kind of license, which could be as simple as a .txt file that says “Made by [name], free to use for xyz purposes with abc caveats”

For a book stuff like that can go into the first or last couple pages that usually include all sorts of random boring information and publisher credits and whatnot

Just keep in mind that hard drives do not last forever. They’ll last a few years of regular use, maybe up to a decade if you’re lucky. Storing media on a hard drive is not like having a box of books in your basement, your kids aren’t going to be able to use them in 40 years.

It was only a matter of time before Google put their foot down and insisted that you can’t have a good experience on YouTube. Its time is coming.

I think the darkness attacks back in VTM as well. It was secretly a lasombra.

I’d also like to know this, because someone in my group is considering starting up a Lancer game and I read through the book and came to the same wall as you. Like, what the fuck would I even play?

I mean sure, I’ve dealt with GMs saying arrows broke or were lost or whatever. Now in the next combat that number on my character sheet counts down from 17 to 10. Then next combat it goes from 15 to 9. Then I get to a town and say “ok i go buy some arrows how much does that cost” and the gm says “idk like some silver” and im like “cool” and i remove a gold piece and refill arrows

it still doesn’t really add anything

this isn’t because those aspects of game design are fundamentally flawed, that isn’t what im saying. just that 5e doesn’t really work like that. it’s not a very well designed system at the end of the day

Personally I’ve never managed to make 20 attacks as an archer in one combat in 5e before, so tracking those just tends to result in a number going from 20 to 12 or whatever and then me saying “by the way I walk around the battlefield picking up my arrows”

it doesn’t really add anything

Well it depends on the circumstance. The “captured target” you mention is helpless. You absolutely can oneshot him with any number of cantrips, or other mundane actions. You could oneshot him with a “use an object” action if that object is a lever controlling a trapdoor over a deep pit.

Point is, you certainly can drown someone with 30 gallons of water. You just have to set up for it correctly. I don’t really like the implication of your comment and the original post that it’s unreasonable to try such a thing just because the number used to categorize the spell is too low.

hmm yes i want my phone to be made of fucking titanium, that sounds cost-effective

What definition of safe are you using which makes a private messaging system without privacy safe? What would have to occur for it to become unsafe, if not being private does not make it unsafe in your eyes?

They absolutely do. A private messaging system which is not private is the definition of unsafe. Especially in the context of a post on !privacy@lemmy.ml

If something claims to be unsafe and delivers, that doesn’t make it any more safe.
