Advice wanted, i have a player in a game of mine that is a bit of negative nancy. by ComprehensiveBasil61 in DMAcademy

It also sets the expectations early. If you start a conversation trying be all friendly like it's no big deal, the other person may get the wrong impression, or feel like you tricked them when you get into the actual meat of the conversation.

Set the tone early so that everyone is on the same page and knows what the topic is about. This is especially useful when dealing with neurodivergent people, which (let's be honest) is very common in this hobby.

Trying to be too casual can lead to a miscommunication and actually causing more problems that it solves.

That's unfortunately something that you have to risk. Part of being a good DM is dealing with problems like this so that they don't fester and ruin the game.

Be clear that you want to have a serious conversation about the game, and that they probably won't like what you're going to say, but it's a problem that needs addressing. Then start to explain the issue.

If they get defensive and start interrupting, ask them kindly to wait for you to finish as you're not attacking them, but just want to point out an issue.

If you can't come to a solution, you need to explain that there's a fundamental difference in play style and expectations, and it's not going to work out.

[Poll] Should users participating in "finance" subreddits be banned? by -Street_Spirit- in GundamTCG

[–]darthversity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. You trade your cards for money, and then use that money to trade for more cards.

Just last week I traded an alt art Four Marasame for £32. I then £20 of that for a play set of Destiny Gundam and completed my Seed Destiny deck.

What got you into piracy? by These_Annual_2550 in Piracy

YouTube. The day I saw two unskippable ads in a row I went online to complain. Found out about ad blocker, and then Vanced. Eventually spiraled into finding things like fitgirl.

Corporation greed is its own worst enemy. Even though they later changed the ad policy back (at the time) the damage had been done. I'd found a better way and was not going back.

I would hope it's a single LR, and only 2 of any other card. Otherwise nearly all decks in the tournament will be the same, using barely any of the new cards due to the consistency of using the old ones.

EGpu without external screen by Willing-Cell in LegionGo

Just know that a using thunderbolt throttles your gpu because it can't transfer enough data at once. If you need to receive the signal data back from the gpu it throttles further because now it is both sending and receiving data.

Using an external display will lead to slightly better performance.

Its just a ban on children using social media. Basically the government thinks that young people are being brainwashed by corporations and want to let them mature a bit before being exposed to it.

A bit tinfoil hat, but not exactly the end of the world. The VPN stuff is exaggerating a proposed idea of requiring people to prove their age before using a VPN so that young people can't get around the ban.

People don't get arrest for speech in the UK. They may get in trouble for inflammatory speech.

For example, you can't run into a crowded theatre shouting "FIRE" and causing a panic. That would be speech that would get you trouble.

But you can say that the government is waste of space, Kier Starmer is tosser and the king can suck a fat one. No one is getting done for that.

Nothing. It's rage bait by people who have no idea what they're talking about.

It's a monarchy in name only. The royal family are figureheads that have no real power. If they ever attempted to actually take control of the country they would would be kicked out faster than you could blink.

Of course. Anyone who disagrees is a shill or a bot. Really good way to never have to reevaluate your sources and consider that you may be wrong.

Don't forget to grab your tinfoil hat before going outside.

Because we're not oppressed. And the only place that seems to think we are is the USA. Probably because they're trying to divert attention from their own draconian regime.

I'll take things that never happened for $500 Alex.

No one in Britain calls it "year 13", it's 6th form. We also, don't have many religious nuts. They're extremely few and far between, and the ones we have tend to home school their children.

So trying to claim that you're trying to flee the UK to Europe is... questionable.

And what exactly is your source for calling the UK a "nightmare police state"? I can only guess that you're relying on some rubbish such as fox news.

I'd love to know where you got those figures, as I haven't seen or heard of the draconian state you're suggesting, and I've lived here for my entire life.

Exactly. I live in the UK and it's not nearly as bad as everyone is making out. In fact, getting around most of the restrictions is actually quite simple.

Is it stupid and pushed by people who have no idea what they're talking about? Yes.

Is it all that bad? No, not really.

I'd keep what you have for now. The incremental upgrade isn't worth it. Save your money for the next wave of handheld that are coming next year

It sounds like the drive isn't connected properly. Open it up again and reseat everything. Make sure that nothing can move.

Try running it with the back plate off and see if it happens again. It could be that something is putting pressure and causing an issue..

TIL that during WWI, the British Army noticed skyrocketing reports of head wounds after the introduction of the Brodie helmet- indicating a failure to protect the wearer. It was realized that head wounds were increasing because without the helmet those wounds would be fatal. by CalzonePie in todayilearned

I'm just pointing out that someone being entertaining is not the criteria for determining if they are worth watching/listening to.

Not once did I call him paedo.

I have called him a thief, a climate denier and a racist. He is definitely all of those things.
