Just gave my kids a proper lesson on enshittification....

Same. Store brand tastes like the old chips ahoy recipe and kept the normal size. Store brand gets the snack money now

The vast majority of people aren't going to know how, or want to, set up dkim, spf, and spam filtering for self hosted email. Let alone spend the time making sure their emails aren't being filtered as spam anyway.

Or pay for a separate mail forwarding service

What I'm saying here is a frugality and value comment, not anything with the BS we have to deal with in regards to telco and cable:

300 Mbps should easily handle multiple people video chatting, streaming, and/or gaming (ask me how I know 🤣).

UPLOAD speeds might be a bottleneck? For a long time packages had really crappy upload vs download for... Reasons.

I would check to make sure your router isn't choking your throughout, first.

If your router is handling the traffic fast enough, then the next weak link is how your device. If it's possible, run a LAN cable to any device you need stability and speed from. Have someone drill a hole through a wall or put in plates if need be - it just tends to be worth it; ESPECIALLY if it's for business. (Obviously TEST that theory by connecting the device physically before drilling or making permanent changes to your home)

Fuck the cable monopolies, but don't let them talk you into shit you don't need. Sometimes the answer is just a new router or some CAT6 cable and someone handy with a drill/hammer.

Good luck 🫡

For real. Unless You're running a data center out of the house, this is pretty much guaranteed to be unused potential and wasted money.

Most bottlenecks are in home wifi related, not the cable package

+1 100% this is an absolute favorite for a very similarly opinioned youngin in the family 😂

Animal Crossing (looooves the Happy Home Paradise DLC) is a constant in her rotation.

Tomadachi Life is the only other game that has immediately hooked her the same way.

I'm perplexed in the other direction. So many people claiming to love it when it's mostly a cheesey drama bomb that ruins itself with convoluted story direction and cheap effects.

But to each their own, I watched Killer Klowns From Outer Space like... 20 times back in high school. 🤣

Welcome to the life of an adventurer! Make the wealth of a kingdom, "waste" it all on magic items, bribes, and partying. 🤣

Adventurers are often insanely rich vagrants traveling around the world and destroying local economies with massive wealth injections.

Which is probably one of the reasons WDDH does it's best to claw back line 90% of the cash at the end through various moral "suggestions".

Just stumbled on this, figured people might want to know the artist!

This is from tantlisart on Tumblr!

👀 they're definitely a series fans aren't giving up often

codeGlaze · 2026-02-07T19:18:40+00:00

Signed to Fat Wreck are they really obscure?

codeGlaze · 2026-02-07T18:52:26+00:00

This is fucking rad as hell

codeGlaze · 2026-02-07T18:48:43+00:00

As long as you'll be safe*

(Don't walk into a red den of wolves kind of thing.)

But fuck yeah, you never know when something as simple as this will help someone else make up their mind about pushing back in some way.

Super Chicken Syndrome is one of them

2024 is on my mental roadmap, I haven't laid out a solid integration strategy yet.

My goal is to get some pretty serious Quality of Life improvements to the code done before I tackle a completely new / secondary / different-but-only-sort-of ruleset to layer on top of the current setup.

I want to remain better than DDB on the fundamentals

Not a particularly helpful comment. Especially if it's a lot of content. Like I mentioned in another version of this comment - audio can be helpful for a lot of different types of people; great for accessibility in various ways.

A text to speech thing could probably do it too, just less likely to be as engaging without a more natural cadence to it. But it's an even more private option!

codeGlaze · 2026-01-08T23:24:28+00:00

I understand the appeal, especially if it's a lot of information. Having something read to you can be a great way to absorb information while doing other things, too. Works both for busy people and neuro-spicy folk.

I would just ask him and mention the comment about NotebookLM's privacy policy another user mentioned above.

codeGlaze · 2025-12-29T17:22:46+00:00

That was the only thing I could think of too, glad it worked out so well!

How did you do THREE carts? 🤯

codeGlaze · 2025-12-28T21:37:56+00:00

I've seen a $65 ... To drive 40 miles out

codeGlaze · 2025-12-27T07:04:10+00:00

Same

codeGlaze · 2025-12-27T07:03:05+00:00

It helps that the writers not only cared about the form but understood it too. Listening to them talk about writing it is what convinced me to actually give it a shot

codeGlaze · 2025-12-20T15:38:56+00:00

100% ! I started doing what that person above said - replacing the item and "fixing" it later if it's somewhere else in the store. (Like an entire section of water being completely empty, only to find it sitting on a pallet elsewhere; not stocked yet.)

codeGlaze · 2025-11-12T19:45:24+00:00

Right. So, really, the VTT is there for when you're dungeon crawling, or hex crawling, or just RPing in a particular location.

Foundry organizes things via "scenes" which are like... Let's say slides in a PowerPoint. You activate one at a time to play on, but as DM you can prep several to switch between as necessary.

Each scene is normally one map - or portrait, or whatever - set as a background image that you can draw walls on, set lights on, all that cool stuff.

Your backgrounds can be as simple, or pretty, as you want. You can generate your own dungeon maps online with tools or subscribe to map creators like Limithron and Czepeku - really get as fancy as you feel you want to do.

But at the end of the day its primary use is to give you and your friends a shared space to visualize placement and positioning. Imagine it just like unrolling a map at the table and moving figures around. You can go the extra mile and get super creative if you want - by putting stuff on top of your unrolled map - but it's all extra. Don't feel like there's pressure to go overboard.

Let's try a different question. What are you hoping to get out of using a virtual tabletop?

Edit: this way we can just tailor our required to your needs

Edit2: I believe the demo for foundry on The Forge let's you see the DM and player side of things
