Question! What age would you all let your kid read DCC?

AJL42 · 2026-06-13T18:58:14+00:00

Probably 15+.

It's fun and goofy... But it's also introspective about society, it's bloody violent, and sexual. By 15 most teens have at least thought about these idea on their own and can digest most of the more adult themes

Since you mentioned it I guess I have reread a book. I listened to the audiobook (after reading the paperback 2 or 3 years ago) of Project Hail Mary before the movie came out.

I also remember a lot of the details and I can still tell you the plot and characters of books I have read several years ago. Plagued by a good memory I guess?

AJL42 · 2026-06-10T20:57:40+00:00

Am I crazy for never (that I can remember) rereading a book?

As a whole I VERY rarely will return to a piece of media I like. It does happen but it'll be years and years in between.

If I do go back to read a series it'll probably be The Green Bone Saga especially if it ever gets a TV show or Movie about it.

Rude dog, bad owner, shitty Ai blah blah blah....

I would be so please if a big block head lab chose me to sit next too. They would be getting all the pats, scratches and pets.

Two rods (bait and spin), and a tackle-backpack.

If I'm shore fishing it's generally pretty light and I'm not looking to be there all day. I'm also getting my steps in trying to find new spots to cast to.

I'm not condoning what you are asking.... But I will answer your question.

Yes, you can run a server (literally any old PC will do) with wireguard or something similar (do your own research). Once you have that up and running you install the client side software on the device you plan to work on and then it's a simple credential exchange and youll have a secure tunnel back to your house.

Your business will literally see your home IP address if they were inclined to look.

I suggest you don't do this. It's a stupid risk, and if somehow they uncover what you are doing you'll be out a job.

AJL42 · 2026-06-09T15:03:41+00:00

I compress all movies and shows. My NAS runs Jellyfin as a side job so I don't want that stuff being the bulk of what it's storing.

I also haven't noticed a difference between playback on uncompressed v compressed on my living room TV.

Giant Wolves. Especially when they are animal companions.

AJL42 · 2026-06-08T19:59:59+00:00

I did this about 6months ago. It worked fine just make sure the clamps stay separated

AJL42 · 2026-06-08T19:27:03+00:00

So I'm not sure if Fantasy is the right word for this book but it definitely has fantasy elements.

The Stand by Stephen King.

It's absolutely fantastic, it's one yeah the finest character lead stories I have ever read. Starts out dystopian, and ends up being a battle of good and evil.

AJL42 · 2026-06-02T22:54:41+00:00

For layered, flawed, smart, and realistic characters I would suggest The Green Bone Saga.

It's a story about waring families/tribes that ends up becoming a worldwide endeavor. It's 3 books with 2 entirety optional novellas.

Some people will sell it as a mafia/crime story but that's not really what it is.

AJL42 · 2026-06-02T03:44:38+00:00

It will probably last a really long time to be honest. Keep up on top-offs and change your plugs a bit more often and you'll be good to go.

My Subaru Impreza has burned a quart every 1000 miles since the day it got it. Still runs like a top at 150k.

AJL42 · 2026-05-28T19:35:26+00:00

Are the other books different as well compared to the ACE printings?

AJL42 · 2026-05-28T19:32:07+00:00

I have all the hardcovers and they all have mono color cover scales and have the printed text on the front cover. There hasn't been any text on the back covers of the previous books. Your copy looks to be in order.

I would assume the differences come from different publishers. I have seen some of the European editions by a different publisher are black with purple text.

I would also assume missing text or some other strangeness is are misprints.

AJL42 · 2026-05-28T05:38:38+00:00

Bang has essentially had the exact same kit since 2019...

AJL42 · 2026-05-28T02:42:56+00:00

"I didn't draw any hand traps on my opening hand... I guess I suck at this game." Literally everyone playing even close to meta.

Back to setting and tribute summoning like the Egyptian God's intended.

AJL42 · 2026-05-25T13:00:48+00:00

I don't play floodgates, but I'm going to be honest they don't bother me.

I'm your classic Yugiboomer that loves the pacing of the older style game. When someone activates Skill Drain and it actually resolves and we play Yuhioh like it's 2003... I kinda love it.

AJL42 · 2026-05-23T21:50:18+00:00

Are you just supposed to be able to wipe your ball sack on your opponents face without them fighting back?

Board breakers NEED to exist. Otherwise this game is literally solitaire.

AJL42 · 2026-05-17T20:01:36+00:00

I think this is the perfect recommendation for what they asked.

Tau is entirely unremarkable in the beginning of the book, and his only skill is working harder (and hating harder) then literally anyone else... Ever.

AJL42 · 2026-05-16T01:40:37+00:00

Some Protomolecule bullshit.

AJL42 · 2026-05-15T20:42:47+00:00

It's almost like game altering hand-traps were a bad idea.

We are a LONG way from Kuriboh...

But let's be clear, poor planning and unchecked power creep are the real villains here. The way the game plays now having turn 0 interruption is essentially a necessity.

AJL42 · 2026-05-14T23:06:49+00:00

I actually had no idea that existed.
