From a 110 year old book I picked up recently:

Is DDWRT still a thing?

haha so true!

I believe the booster can’t return to the pad unless it’s explicitly told to from the ground (so if it loses contact, it will crash safely).

During the stream, they said that the very specific criteria for a recapture attempt were not met. They didn’t say what that criteria was.

And sought the council of the smartest man in the world to do it.

I remember learning that before the invention of the locomotive, people thought that 30mph was some kind of barrier that the human body could not survive.

If he was, he made no effort to tell me what that was, so that’s on him.

relevant XKCD

2023

Not really? It was his first time DMing. He was doing a homebrew story. Actually Foundry, not DnD. It was my first time playing and I was really struggling with it. I wasn’t a fan of where the party was taking it and each session was basically wandering aimlessly through a cave and repeating my only attack (sling a rock) at whatever monsters we found. I let him know that I wasn’t enjoying it and there wasn’t a lot for my character to do and he just linked me to the rules website.

I asked for advice on Lemmy, and they suggested I ask for like a 15 minute out of character period at the start of next session to express what our goals were in the game. That was scheduled for the session that I ultimately bailed on.

I got a long string of texts the next morning about how I don’t respect him and never respected him and a lot of other shit. I dunno.

Last year.

I canceled on the biweekly DnD session because it was scheduled for Halloween and I had plans. Told him a little last minute (day before when I realized).

Dude torpedoed our 10 year friendship over that.

Yeah. Can’t tell you the number of times recently I’ve tried to pull up a video from the past and couldn’t find it. Either removed or just impossible to search for.

I’ve got a YouTube playlist that gets downloaded to my server every week just in case

Also many (most?) of them crossed the border legally. They just stayed here illegally.

Glad we’re still talking about the real issues. 😒

I don’t know if I like this take.

I own two ocarinas specifically because of Zelda. The site I bought them from has a bunch of Zelda themed ones as well as a bunch of others.

The game raised awareness about the instrument, and I certainly wouldn’t have learned to play it (or any instrument for that matter) if it wasn’t for one of my favorite games.

How many people play guitar just because they saw a guy play one in a movie?

Would you like to learn more?

I’ve been snapping up DVDs of every film I care about over the last five years. Especially the holiday films since you know they’re going to hold those hostage.

So he does read your tweets. This still does nothing. This is just the lamest form of activism, and as recent evidence shows, it clearly doesn’t work.
