  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? April 07

    Jump

  • I just finished my second reread of Starship Troopers. I've read it in three very different parts of my life and every time I read it, I come away with something new.

    I'm currently reading Salt: A World History and listening to The Final Empire.

  • Strange things are afoot at the Walter Reed

    Jump

  • Neither did I. I looked it up. I thought it was fake. Horrifyingly, it is not.

  • We have more power than we realize

    Jump

  • Corey Doctorow.

    I think.

  • Graphene vs /e/ os

    Jump

  • That is absolutely a conundrum. I'd rather support repairable hardware than even getting a used Pixel. By GOS seems like a great OS. I'm at least a couple months out from making the switch so I have a lot of time to agonize over it at least.

  • Graphene vs /e/ os

    Jump

  • Mostly it's accusations of vibe coding a supposedly secure ecosystem. The Trump thing wasn't great, but I think it was largely blown out of proportion.

    At the time I was looking for a Google replacement, which Proton kind of is. It's got mail, calendar, and a drive, all that stuff. Since then, I've learned or realized that I would prefer to be invested in individual services like mailbox.org, mullvad, keepass, etc. So that if one service fails, I can just divest myself from that individual service not an entire ecosystem.

  • Thanks, I really appreciate the encouragement.

  • Oh man, I didn't even think about banking and credit card apps.

  • Thank you for detailing in one paragraph what I was unable to understand after reading articles about it all last evening.

  • Lemmings who work in Emergency wards at hospitals, do you do therapy for work related issues?

    Jump

  • Yes. My wife is a paramedic. I've been in emergency services for 12 years. We go to couples therapy to help keep the stress from work infecting our relationship.

    Therapy is generally a good thing, but it's gotta be her decision too. You can't force therapy on someone.

    People in the ER see and experience stuff every day that humans are not supposed to see with any regularity. I highly suggest therapy for anyone, especially those of us in emergency services.

  • Book recommendation: Fantasy, female author, strong feminine main character

    Jump

  • Spinning Silver, Uprooted, and the Scholomance Trilogy by Naomi Novik are all great. The first two are stand alone novels that retell fairy tales (Rumplestiltskin and Rapunzel I think). The Scholomance books definitely wrestle with femininity and what it means for the protagonist to be a strong woman.

  • What are the best solo, free, PnP table games for someone coming from dnd burnout?

    Jump

  • Thanks for clarifying that. Yeah it's massive. There are so many solo games in it too.

    There are a lot of $20-30 games in there that I've had my eye on for while. Rebel Scum, This Mortal Coil, Eco-Mofos. Just really good stuff.

    And it's a great cause. I'm nowhere Minnesota but anything we can do to stop these bastards, even if it's buying and playing games, is a good start.

    Jump

  • Vantage is a great solo card game but it's a bit expensive at $90. I really like it. Great game play loop and a fun way to use your cards while exploring. There's also one deck dungeon for a lot cheaper. It's not my favorite, but I play it in hotel rooms a lot because I can pack it easily.

    This is a low barrier to entry solo game that is 1) free, and 2) it'll let you know if you like this style of gaming.

    For solo RPGs, I have gotten a lot out of using the Mythic Game Master Emulator with all sorts of games. I'm working on Coriolus right now, but I have had a lot of fun with simpler fantasy games like Knave and Maze Rats.

    Starforged is great, but i got that on sale.

    This is great for solo gaming:

    So is this, even though it's about PbP games

    If you're willing to spend $10, itch.io has an amazing bundle on right now with a bunch of solo games:

  • Yeah, BYU Idaho. Rexburg is also 95% LDS.

  • Is this common in the rpg space?

    Jump

  • Nice! I've yet to play BitD but it looks super cool. I'm down to play if we can make schedules work!

  • I'm interested. What game are you thinking?

  • Trump Designates Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

    Jump

  • Imagine getting charged with a personal amount of WMDs

  • National Parks to raise fees for millions of international tourists to popular US parks

    Jump

  • In Thailand I paid 20x the amount of a citizen to enter a national park. Camping was free for citizens, but cost money for foreigners (I forget how much).

    A resident hunting license in California costs $62.90 and non-resident is $219.81.

    In Washington state a non-resident elk tag costs 10x what a resident pays.

    In all cases, it's pretty similar.
