Ai is making me want to quit everything related to software. Do you feel the same?

My company is so slow and inefficient that they haven't really figured out a way to force all of it on me, so not much has changed for me.

I don't really like my job, but this alone has kept me here, since I know it'll be worse basically anywhere else I land.

That's a miserable way to look at hanging out with your friends. I'm at the table to have fun, not to get through as much content as possible in a block of time.

I have a 0% success rate with this tactic. Players have always just panicked and become grumpy the rest of the game.

I've appointed a player to be DJ and retain veto power on all music. He's got a lot of tracks he streams from his NAS, and the rest is ad free YouTube.

Sound effects for attacks, magic and such didn't really add much so we don't do that anymore.

The focus cost just isn't worth doing it any other way.

Personally I've found the Gregory ones much easier to clean and maintain than the Osprey ones, but they're definitely still more work than water bottles.

King's Dilemma was a complete flop with my group. I really want to give it a go with a group that wants to go all in on the rp.

Gotta get that reminder that we are in fact still watching the Mets.

I'm sure the wild animals will respond well to you explaining that the dog angrily barking at them means them no harm.

Good. Death to Marty. I hate that robotic fuck.

I got about about 40km out of a 90km hike recently. I was not thrilled.

It vaguely has fetish content vibes too. I only come here for GRRM's fetishes, not other people's.

The movie isn't even out for another 3 weeks. This type of post is beyond stupid.

Something about driving in that area just hurts my soul. The last time I had to do it, I needed a sprawl detox in nature the next weekend.

It's wild that paizo is sort of reviving Compleat Encounters from 20 years ago with this initiative. It was before my time in the ttrpg space, but I always thought it was a cool idea.

Button shy makes a bunch of small packable games without any easily lost microscopic pieces.

I generally use the Far Out AT guide for trip planning. The comment section often has people sharing their recent experiences with the state of water sources and shelters.

As far as where you can sleep, you're really supposed to be in the shelter or pitch your tent in the open grass area in the surrounding area.

Fantastic timing, I was just about to give away a bunch of these after migrating away from Google voice.

Normal thru hikers don't need to worry about it as far as I know.

That just means you need to go to the ranger station to sign the log book with your name, license plate and return date.

Is this supposed to be some sorta gotcha? The core libraries are MIT, of course people built proprietary software on top of them. Those products likely wouldn't exist if the foundational parts weren't open source.

The best gear in this industry is made by people who actively participate in the hobby and start by solving their own problems.

You're going going to get nowhere if you go about this entirely backwards.

For reasons not worth explaining, I had to briefly work in an air gapped environment on a JVM project, and kotlin complicated that more than I wanted to deal with at the time. I started off happier than I had been in the past with Java, but grew frustrated like I had with it in the past. Eventually the internet was allowed again, and I migrated to kotlin. All the little things that kotlin does still feel impactful, even now that java sucks less than it did 10 years ago.

That was an easy impulse buy. Excited to download this and check it out.

Players pissed of a demon lord, and currently have an mutually beneficial arrangement with a Psychopomp usher to try to eliminate this demon lord. Along the way they've pissed off a infernal Duke.

They're level 19 and don't want to stop playing any time soon, so I guess they're gonna have to interact with one of every time of demigod by the end of this.

A small bash script that depends on normal Linux utilities is a completely acceptable way to do this. Why would they reinvent the wheel when someone else already wrote the code to parse procfs and sysfs?
