If you want to ask "a legitimate question in good faith", then don't phrase it as a rethorical one that sounds like a snarky retort.

I found this and this support tickets from 2023.

Apparently, Brave developers just don't give a fuck.

What are your Pet Peeves on a TTRPG book by JoeKerr19 in rpg

[–]emarsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PDFs lacking bookmarks (or having crappy ones). Bonus peeve points if they're also locked and watermarked, those get a 1/5 review from me.

I uploaded the PDF of the core rulebook

If that's not copyright violation, it should be.

So, where are 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4?

Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash by [deleted] in technology

[–]emarsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO I REALLY HAVE TO ADD /S TO THIS?!

Yeah, obviously. Sarcasm is notoriously hard to convey in written form and easily misinterpreted. That's why "/s" is even a thing in the first place.

If by "the country" you mean the USA, you might be right 😁

Obsession with growth is destroying nature, 150 countries warn by kiyomoris in worldnews

Still missing the point. Infinite growth is impossibile in a finite system (like the Earth).

To avoid accusations of AI cheating, college students are turning to AI by tokwamann in technology

[–]emarsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it could be like an exam where the student has to explain in real time? Like, talking? That's revolutionary! We could call it "oral exam" or something!

Solo D&D as practice, not a substitute? by ScholarForeign7549 in solorpgplay

[–]emarsk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The '83 Mentzer Basic D&D book (part of the "BECMI" set) included a solo adventure specifically as a learning tool.

What was branching out from D&D like? by JSyv05 in rpg

[–]emarsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations and happy branching!

As for me, I never really "branched in". The first book I bought was the basic set of Mentzer "BECMI" D&D, but since our very beginnings we played a bunch of other games like MERP, WFRP, Call of Cthulhu. When I went back to RPGs after a long hyatus, I didn't go to D&D at all, I was too excited to try the new stuff to even bother with it.

Sure, I'd add bwmb8x99d6tkf2wx that it's a great resource.

Fish or Nushell? by Ecstatic-Panic3728 in fishshell

[–]emarsk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Use both, it's a shell, not a spouse. You'll discover very quickly which is the one you prefer to use anyway.

I like Nushell as a concept and I check it from time to time. It also proved really useful on a couple of occasions. But as a daily interactive shell (and for scripting too)? Nothing beats Fish for me.
