Candlelit MtG? They were either having a terrible date or daring the other to burn their decks

Because they run a community or group, or are trusted members to do so. I’m a mod in a 3d printing telegram group. We had to make the member listed private because every week everyone was getting DM scam attempts. The group is open, so every once in a while, a scam account enters and leaves a message, which is quickly deleted by one of us

Well, nostr is based on some blockchain tech, of course it’s full of cryptobros

Maybe try GURPS + Supers suplement?

The main problem with magic in Mage is that you need a LOT of rule knowledge to even know what the fuck you can cast, especially if you mix different spheres. Your friend might’ve dodged a bullet, but for the wrong reason 😆

I personally prefer Warhammer Fantasy (either 2e or 4e), I think it contrasts to DnD like Dark Souls to Diablo. Armor is damage reduction instead of damage avoidance, everyone has access to a number of combat maneuvers, magic is limited and dangerous, every combat is dangerous and healing is limited.

The plot that kicks off Battlestar Galactica (2004) happens because pretty much everything uses wireless communications, including most systems within the space ships

Peak youtube to book content

Yes

They’re also equally dense

If I’d had the chance to speak with them, I would have told them the truth [about inter-Korean history] and warned them that they could eventually face punishment from the North Korean regime, simply because they had already experienced life in the South" says Mr Lee

Given the rest of the article, it seems that the current SK president is trying to play nice with NK and isn’t exposing these drifters to historical facts. I still doubt they and their families will have a good time back home.

Brazil recently had an “experience” in getting more lax with gun restrictions. While people were mostly in favor of that before it came into effect, ~4 years later more people were against letting any idiot have a gun.

For every “CAC^[1] kills a robber” there are dozens of “CAC kills family/wife/police/random person”. Not only that, with how lax the law got, said CACs also became a bridge to sell or loan guns to criminals, which would usually have to buy them off corrupt police or army. Overall, people feel less safe, because now any argument with a rando can end up with you being shot, even if you’re not even involved and just happened to be nearby

One thing to keep in mind is that most police forces exist to protect wealth. If you have wealth, you’ll be protected. If you don’t, you’re a target. Does the police need guns? Not always. Not every criminal is armed and not every armed criminal can only be taken on by “a good guy with a gun”

You cant both abolish the police and then also disarm the citizens, gotta pick one.

You can, but you also need to reorganize a lot of how society works, especially in regards to wealth distribution.

Well, why weren’t you investing 100 USD in Amazon every month since 1997, Vijay? Or since 2007?

No one wants to be on the “being exploited” end, but that’s the main feature of current capitalism: a million losers for each winner

Color me prplpected

Rookie. I’m on a wholly different intelligence power level, as this completely factual certificate certifies!

WELL, I’ll let you know that my GOG collection is larger than my Steam collection!

Pretty sure Half Life 1 and 2 work that way, since the cutscenes happen entirely in game

Makes no sense to target me as I’m not an admin anywhere and, afaik, you can always tell who’s an admin or moderator on discord. But eh, these guys aren’t exactly known for being smart

Easy as an adult, not so much as a kid with a similar age
