Turn off your computer, move to a cave in the mountains, and abandon society.

A bit extreme but there is nothing you can do to stop your messages from appearing on Windows machines except not sending them to anyone who might view them on Windows machines…which will definitely be nearly impossible in 2024

I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

I haven’t been to a Spanish speaking country in 2 decades, don’t speak Spanish, and the only Spanish speakers I know primarily speak in English around me.

Yet 50% of the ads I’ve been getting on SoundCloud for years are in Spanish…

Is it because I faved a bunch of songs in Portuguese? That’s not even the same language! Is soundcloud’d ad network racist? The people (me) demand answers!

No idea but I’d imagine it’s even worse there

Giving a buck to that dev is better for him than all those ads you “watch”.

OC could watch 2 ads a day for 5 years and it still would make the dev less money than a $1 donation

Because Nebula pays more to the creators. The people who make the videos I watch didn’t make shit on YouTube

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I love YouTube and it really bums me out to have to drop it. My home account has been heavily curated over the past two decades and it’s pretty rare to see a video on my homepage from the shitty part of YouTube…now I’m getting ads and just closing the tab. I have a separate account just for listening to music on my work laptop and I’ve found a ton of new artists through it, too…not sure what I’m gonna do once it starts getting ads, too.

I have a Nebula subscription but only like 1/3 of the channels I watch are on there. And obviously none of the music

I was trying to figure out a good way to do that! But the loxodons are so peaceful and they came to our rescue so I wasn’t sure how to spin it.

I also have a mouse familiar (with the DM’s approval since it’s technically supposed to be a rat) so maybe he can be the one who gets up to those shenanigans…once I figure out what I’m supposed to do with a familiar as a psychic…

The GM said to thank you for the ideas because being a psychic opens up some new story possibilities that he’s excited about.

Part of my character’s backstory is that he was one of the few survivors when his village of psychics was destroyed during a razorback stampede (and I, as a baby, was the only one who “saw” it coming). He and his family were then taken in by a loxodon/minotaur clan and it just so happens that another player made a minotaur from that same area so we’re gonna be buds and I’m going to (mostly) ride on his shoulder so we’re gonna get a few more fears. Like if I heal him while in tow, I get healed for half of it, too. Sounds like it’s gonna be a pretty fun campaign!

Ohh I like that one! He has a feat for smell (+2 perception) but I pitched him the elf heritage one and he’s on board

I’ve got an oddball one for ya if you feel like getting creative…

The GM hasn’t finished fleshing out the subrace I picked and said if I have any ancestry feats to suggest, he’d be down with implementing them. It’s a very small (1-2ft) Ysoki and I’ve got nothing even after looking up Mouse Facts™. I guess mice have really good hearing?? No idea how that translates to a TTRPG

Got any fun feat ideas for when Fievel Goes West? No big deal if not. I’m asking as a creative exercise more than anything!

They’re so versatile. That’s what I love about them but also makes me want to hold off until the next campaign

Ok, great - I’m much more confident in the choice and I appreciate your help in getting there!

I would LOVE to play a druid at some point because it’s my favorite fantasy class but after seeing the amount of spells the druid in our party has, I decided to hold off for another campaign.

I decided to go with bionicjoey’s suggestion of a Psychic. I was wavering on all the other options but this one instantly clicked with me when I looked it up so I’m running with it!

Sorry for the delay, I started looking into this last night and fell into the rabbit hole…but I’m sold. I put together a rough character on one of the builder sites and started working out the backstory with the GM.

I will be playing a Skitterpaw (unique to this campaign) Ysoki Psychic

Background: Scholar (Occultism)

Conscious Mind: The Infinite Eye

Subconscious Mind: Gathered Lore

Cantrips: Telekinesis Projectile, Void Warp, and Void Step

Spells: Soothe and…undecided because the builder only gives me True Strike as an option…? I think I should have other choices but I don’t know

Soothe seems good enough for what I want but out of curiosity, are there other healing spells to pick up later?

And do deities even matter outside of RP for non-Clerics? I couldn’t quite figure that out…

First and foremost I want to be able to heal in and out of combat. But I’m saying Support and not Healer because I want to have other spells/actions to take - like making my party do more (or take less) damage or blind/confuse enemies.

If I’m sounding weird about describing it, it’s because I find my current character pretty boring in combat. I basically just shoot my bow, miss with Electric Arc, or cast Haste. The monk in our party (veteran player) does so many different things and the druid (another veteran) seems to bust out situationally-useful spells every session.

I want more options in a fight so it feels like my choices matter. The problem is…I have no idea what the options are except what I’ve seen in this campaign.

I prefer quiet characters over braggadocios ones. Ironically, Gambit is my favorite X-Man followed by the much more appropriate Professor X. I like when characters avoid the spotlight and take care of stuff “from the sidelines.” Some other characters that fit the description (I think, not too into these franchises): Samwise Gamger, Ron Weasley, Podrick

[Whoops, hit send before finishing. Give me a minute to write the rest…]

The race I am leaning is Ysoki, specifically the tiny subrace unique to this campaign. I don’t want to be a hero, I want to support the heroes as they do their hero things. I don’t care if others see how I’m helping as long as my party knows it - I’m not big on getting recognition.

The DM wants to work out our back stories together so he can weave it into the campaign so I haven’t given a ton of thought to it just yet

Someone’s gotta heal! I don’t want everyone to rely on potions

I’m having trouble finding much info on the healing abilities of wizards but I swear I read about it a few weeks ago…

I just meant I wasn’t considering Clerics before this because I thought they only healed. If this campaign is any indication of the group tactics, we definitely don’t need a healbot.

I will check out battle cleric!
