I want to participate more with the food banks in my area.

My parents struggled when I was growing up. They'd bend over backwards to make sure my siblings and I always had food on our plates and clothes on our backs. While they're better off now, I still remember the times when they wouldn't eat to make sure there was some for us.

I used to be more active as a teen when I was in the boy scouts, but now that I'm working full time, I want to get more involved again.

If nothing else, people should never have to go hungry

Early game is a bit confusing and direction less last I played but once you get your bearings its a load of fun

Welp, that's one way to teach that the scope is important when pen testing.

Lol, they didn't outright kill all the bandits so they ran into them again several levels later. It was a fun time

Different scenario but in my first time dming I ended up naming two characters Phil... they were both bandits.

I'm sure I can write something for it if I spend some time. I'd just have to brush up on my javascript

Now I've gotta find a way to implement something like this in my foundry server. That would be amazing!

It was common in the 2000s and early 2010s for people in voice chats for games to claim they fucked your mom; usually people who were clearly teenagers.

Guess it was one of those things where you had to be there to get it

I'm not sure how much of an outlier I am, but for me it usually goes

• desktop for more demanding games or if I'm playing with friends. Also use it for running dnd sessions
• laptop for writing, productivity stuff, or anything else where I don't need a lot of power or if I'm on the go.
• my phone is usually used for scrolling or other time waster apps

How much I use each one really depends on the day

In the first campaign I ever played in, I ran a necromancy wizard that was neutral good.

Basically, he grew up a hermit and has zero awareness of the taboos surrounding his school of magic. However, because of his alignment, he has a very different approach to how he uses his magic.

Whenever he has to raise undead to fight for him, he does it by asking for their aid rather than outright raising them. He approaches the practice more as a way to preserve the lives of the living rather than a way of amassing servants or power. When he no longer needs their help, he thanks them and tries to make sure they either return to their resting place or are given a proper burial.

His overarching goal is to ensure everyone lives a long, full life and wishes to find a way to resurrect others in the way other classes can to help achieve that goal.

Didn't get to play him for long since the group kinda fell apart

Reminds me of how I introduced a bag of devouring at a defective magic item shop and the party bought it anyways.

I should have learned my lesson after the last bag incident

Uhhh, how long was the first boot time?

Then let's assume the people in charge want Trump back in office. Wouldn't it just make more sense to make political contributions to him and others sympathetic to his platform? That carries less reputational risk than investing in a known to fail platform.

Plus it's worth mentioning that those are assets under management ; they have to answer to their investors for every time they allocate. They can't just freely swing that around like most people think

Bud, I know it's pretty easy to jump down into conspiratorial rabbit holes whenever talking about Blackrock, vanguard, etc but let me ask you this:

Which sounds like a more solid plan? Investing in a platform that was dead in the water from the start, with no financial future. Or just donating to a bunch of politicians that are okay with your business practices?

I'm not saying they aren't causing a good bit of harm but you don't become the largest investment management firm on the planet by being that stupid

Blackrock may have deep pockets but they're not that idiotic.

I can't speak for the quest directly but I've used programs like sidequest to load homebrew games onto my quest 2. It's also really easy to do so I don't think they're quote going to be e waste yet

There was a subreddit I used to be very active on that practically got nuked by the company during the protests. They kicked all of the mods off and replaced it with their own, leaving a huge mess behind.

A good number of them started over from scratch on Lemmy and I followed them here. Haven't really looked back since

I just graduated with my degree in CSEC and, while my college luckily never had us do that, I know at least 10 people who would have found a way to trick it somehow into reporting false data

I probably should have just said lightning instead

I try to make rocks think with electricity and then cry when it doesn't think the way I want it to (software engineer)
