Tell me about your TTRPG character(s)/campaign(s)!
  • Nice!

    Currently GM'ing a Cyberpunk 2020/RED campaign!

    It's 2045 and my Edgerunners are making their climb to fame in Night City from lowly street scum mercenaries to the highest of high leagues.

    However, unbeknownst to them, the pack are just about to get thrown into something waaay bigger than anyone could chew: a deviated branch of the New United States of America (NUSA) together with high officials of Militech Armaments International, a private military and armaments megacorporation, are secretly conspiring to build a space-based orbital weapons platform that could be capable of altering the global balance of powers, to threaten the sovereignty of the Eurozone, something that could throw the world into another global war.

    They will have to face the dilemma of either saving themselves and their loved ones, or saving human society from potential self-annihilation...

  • how was everyone's week?
  • Eh busy week, abroad on a business trip for almost a month now. Weekend was nice though, got the chance to do some sightseeing. Other than that, still hoping for a particular person to contact me (I don't have their contact), not sure it will ever happen but hey, who knows, I am an optimist by nature :)

  • Who else loves retro tech?

    I went to a ramen place in Tokyo and to order ramen you had to insert money and place your order via this machine. This felt like going back to the early 90s but in a way that we are definitely not used to in western countries. It had a very retro futuristic vibe!

    The Internet Is Failing The Website Preservation Test
  • This is a very good point and one that is not discussed enough. Archive.org is doing amazing work but there is absolutely not enough of that and they have very limited resources.

    The whole internet is extremely ephemeral, more than people realize, and it's concerning in my opinion. Funny enough, I actually think that federation/decentralization might be the solution. A distributed system to back-up the internet that anyone can contribute storage and bandwidth to might be the only sustainable solution. I wonder.if anyone has thought about it already.

  • welcome, new Beehaw users and lurkers. an FAQ and introduction to Beehaw
  • I always had mixed feelings about downvoting. On YouTube, dislikes were very useful, on Reddit I feel downvotes are just used to bring down dissenting opinions, regardless of their merit, so in a community like this it makes sense to disable them.

  • Site to track Subreddit's as they go dark
  • I see this less as a damage to Reddit, and more as an opportunity to diversify, make people aware of the threat of centralised corporate-run platforms, and to build the federated internet alternatives a bit more, to give them momentum.
