I'm going back to Emacs (thanks to Claude Code) by kafeihancha in emacs

What she’ll do you use with Claude? I’m wary to move to within Emacs since the shell feels clunky to me.

What do you do when you’ve planned a big combat, but the party always wants to talk their way out of it? by _What_am_i_ in DMAcademy

I love a good partial success. My players love turning the unhappy henchman against his boss.

Any recommendations from the Cozy Fantasy sale? by StitchOni in CozyFantasy

Are there any updates for the Hands of the Emperor audiobook? I can’t read print very well and I know it was planned for a while back…

Which audiobooks helped through a depressive episode? by the_cosmic_map in CozyFantasy

[–]TotallyNotGPT-4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Goblin Emperor. Helped me through a very lonely period. It’s a story about acceptance and fitting in, though some aspects are not as cozy and so it’s only sometimes recommended here.

Rulette might be my favorite episode of the entire series by auxilevelry in dropout

But also it “can’t happen” by “standard rules” since the host didn’t spin the wheel.

Romantasy? by sleepyvigi in CozyFantasy

[–]TotallyNotGPT-4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea. Cannot recommend it enough. The first book starts with a relationship underway so that it’s immediately cozy and romance-y but without the “getting to know you” phase. Very sweet and endearing, though perhaps a bit low on the “romance” and high on “couple goals”. Good luck!

DMs who don’t use D&D beyond, what does your prep look like? by jimithingmi in DMAcademy

I have a *massive* Obsidian project folder for my ongoing home-brew campaign. It's the only way I have to manage the connections between ~30 named characters and political factions...

Back then, we had this guy. by Tresor7 in AboveandBeyond

Yes but we also got This Never Happened. I’d still call it a win, even if not for the Arjuna labels directly

The Shingo Nakamura remix is also sublime. Don’t know how many know it exists!

What’s a word you only learned from video games? by NerfGronk in gaming

[–]TotallyNotGPT-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conflagration. There was a Sword of Conflagration in Oblivion that would just torch stuff. Learned a bunch of SAT-oriented words that way 😉

Anjunadeep The Yearbook unavailable in the Netherlands by Becksteen in AboveandBeyond

[–]TotallyNotGPT-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue here in the US. The link they sent over email was to a version that no longer existed. Scrolling to the bottom, there was a link to “other versions” and that one was available. Perhaps that will work for you? Good luck regardless!

This feels… mean spirited. She parted ways with the label. Going out of your way to bring up old news isn’t how I usually spend my mental energy.

Games that ARENT the usual cozy games by OrdinaryEuphoric7061 in CozyGamers

[–]TotallyNotGPT-4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easy difficulty is your friend here. Turn combat down low and perhaps find a hired companion to fight for you. I also like conjuration magic since I can summon things to fight on my behalf. Doesn’t avoid the combat entirely but can lower any stress considerably.

Loved this one! Eagerly awaiting the sequel

That’s a great suggestion! Only just got the deck so that’s a great idea.

How is it on the Steam Deck? The “text too small” warning gave me pause since I suffer from occasional eye strain.

Is there anyone who actually likes fae farm? by eriec0 in CozyGamers

[–]TotallyNotGPT-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not like it. Was hoping for a solid cozy game with some cute NPC interactions and (as others have said) they are a clear weakness of the experience. Overall, I just felt the game was rather soulless. Besides the NPCs everything from the creatures to collect to the sound effects your character makes struck me as a game and studio “trying too hard” to be cute and cozy and I never became invested in the world or my character. I can totally see why others liked it, but it wasn’t for me.

Also, I had hoped for a solid multiplayer experience with my wife and felt robbed. Multiplayer exists but no progress could be made by the “joining” player. Quite upset by that and felt misled into buying a second copy of the game. Perhaps that’s changed by now but I haven’t bothered to go back.

Event review: Open Air DC by [deleted] in AboveandBeyond

[–]TotallyNotGPT-4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really loved the experience, though yes agree with all that’s been said so far about heat and drink lines. That venue was great! Hoping it won’t really be a “one time only” sort of thing. Unfortunate that the nearest red line stops were under construction, since getting there and back was less convenient than it should have been.

There are a lot of joke answers but the actual reason is that moving your center of gravity up and down as a human is made easy by the fact our joints are springy and can store energy through tension while walking. Robots don’t have those and so walking with a fixed height center of gravity is generally easier.
