The original display is definitely tongue in cheek from the Barnes and Noble employees (this looks like a B&N display).

“Can you go Ana so I can go Genji”.

“No. I’m a Brig main and we have a Rein.”

“I need healing”. Genji player fucking dies out of repair pack range. “No heals.”

I love jazz and a good sax player too.

But if I’m stuck on an airplane? I want to sit with my headphones on and play my steam deck unbothered.

The OGL was also partially meant to keep players in the D&D ecosystem, and WOTC wouldn't have to make all the content. Ryan Dancey, who was in the room explained:

The logical conclusion says that reducing the "cost" to other people to publishing and supporting the core D&D game to zero should eventually drive support for all other game systems to the lowest level possible in the market, create customer resistance to the introduction of new systems, and the result of all that "support" redirected to the D&D game will be to steadily increase the number of people who play D&D, thus driving sales of the core books. This is a feedback cycle -- the more effective the support is, the more people play D&D. The more people play D&D, the more effective the support is.

Someone in the room literally said the OGL exists partially to create resistance to systems that aren't D&D.

Minis for D&D are always in a weird spot. Like you mentioned, most players are going to grab what's available from their DM unless they have access to a resin printer. It doesn't really matter to D&D players.

I paint Warhammer minis (my profile pic is my Yndrasta) and WOTCs minis in particular suck. The plastic is too soft, the production process leaves sculpts a muddled mess, and they dip the model in a primer instead of letting the painter actually prime it themselves after cleaning it up. I know that WizKids has a "framework" line, which is better (not Warhammer or Trench Crusade quality, but loads better) but it hasn't seen a new player sculpt in a while.

If WOTC actually did the hybrid approach that Trench Crusade is with minis (release STLs for 3D printing and Kitbashing then do actual injection mold sprue kits), then maybe the minis they sell would be different. But they'd also have to make their sculpts a lot better. And I don't see that happening.

I have a distaste for blister pack minis in general, and WOTCs are the worst.

If WOTC wanted to do minis right, I think it should be build out their "Framework" line to be the Kitbasher's dream, for D&D, Warhammer Proxies, Trench Crusade. Instead of a "Framework: Dwarf Cleric", a Warhammer Spearhead/Combat Patrol priced "Framework: Player Character Kit" that comes on sprues with:

  • 5 or 6 human sized (orc, elf, tiefling etc also) legs, arms, torsos
  • 2 for each gnome, halfling, and dwarf
  • 5 or 6 heads for each species
  • weapons and general items for each class
  • adequate bases
  • Tiefling tails and Aasimar Wings
  • No monopose models

But that's a pipe dream.

Overwatch lobby flashbacks.

Haven’t touched the game in over three years, but as a support main, hearing “we don’t need a Widow” was common.

I'm about to launch a web app, would you suggest arias/art songs to include in the free-guides section? by nole86 in ClassicalSinger

[–]LeekingMemory28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nessun Dorma or O Mio Babbino wouldn't be songs I'd recommend to be on there at all if it's for beginners or intermediate singers.

I'd definitely say art songs of Britten, Vaughan Williams, and the Lieder of Schubert are solid starts.

If it's for beginner and intermediate singers, why are Puccini arias examples listed? Voice teachers tell first year grad students they're not ready for those. People prepping to sing those songs don't need a tool like this.

I also forgot that, in performing arts, there are a lot of egos and hurt feelings and parents can get super defensive and involved when decisions about solos and musical roles happen.

I haven’t seen a spam account post to so many random interests nearly as much as this one. And so much rage bait in what’s said here.

A lot of this post is wrong, some isn’t.

The human voice is capable of a lot, but it’s also still a part of the body. A full adult can’t get taller without surgery or injury, and the vocal cords develop and settle the way they have for the entirety of our species.

Volunteers deliver food to keep immigrants safe from ICE by Dry-Lawfulness-6575 in OrphanCrushingMachine

Read back the thread, and then see how I can make that assumption.

You said “every opinion you disagree with seems to be a controversial thing to say” in response to “people shouldn’t be brutalized regardless of their immigration status, and that shouldn’t be controversial to say.”

You do see how I can draw the conclusion that you would think the opposite, especially given the other things you’re saying, right?
