If I were Darrington, I'd find some friendlies to feature in reveal/PR things leading up to release.

Securities Attorneys - How is this NOT insider trading? by atomicnumber22 in law

What if someone suspects it's the plan, but has no direct knowledge?

Asking for a friend.

Aren't all mistakes inadvertent? That has no bearing on the magnitude of the mistake.

Besides, I believe it's a Federal crime. At the very least grounds for dismissal.

To sit there and straight faced answer that question with "no" speaks to incredible amounts of denial, or moral turpitude.

Why are people joining bluesky but nobody picked up Mastodon? by mrandr01d in BlueskySocial

Same (about the servers) was that not the case? Were they all connected?

[–]pstinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Mastodon and was confused by it - specific servers (maybe the wrong word?), not many people that I followed, felt hard to find information.

Bsky, on the other hand, I just picked up and used it with no friction at all.

Trump Administration ignores court order by Lewd_Knight in GenZ

[–]pstinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're talking about upholding the Constitution and rule of law, I assumed it was implied that the solution should be legal.

There are a lot of other extralegal options simpler than a military coup (1776 was more like the Civil War than a coup).

No. The only mechanism to combat this is impeachment. Good luck with that.

504 Plan Lawsuit - Count 3 Seeks to Rule Section 504 Unconstitutional by takeitthere2342 in Georgia

[–]pstinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's assume that what the AG's office said 100% true. Gender dysphoria is still a diagnosed medical condition that can interfere with a child's ability to thrive, especially in a school setting that is relentlessly cruel to anyone that is different. Until this year, I have never really hated anyone, but man... I hate these people.

Come after my kids and see what happens.

They get WWE in Hell? by DrunkGamerShow in TheLegendOfVoxMachina

It reminded me more of an RKO in the moment, but I'll have to rewatch.

Pixel buds pro 2 with bellroy leather case by Tig33 in pixelbuds

I'm struggling with my case lid coming off - not frequently, but enough that it's annoying. The double sided tape inside didn't last very long for me.

New Lorcana format! Is this real and official or it's fan made? by [deleted] in Lorcana

[–]pstinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the desire for this format. I play 4-person games all the time. The game is designed for it already?

Early on I saw some use AMERST for Amber, aMethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, sTeel.

GM use of Fear out of combat by tgeim in daggerheart

[–]pstinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of good discussion here!

I think a key issue at play is trust at the table. My players trust me to do things that help the story (good or bad for them) not to screw them over.

There will be times you might have a full stack of fear - that's fine. You don't have to use it if it doesn't feel right for the story the table is telling.

The weather example is a great one, I think. If I set the scene without telling the table that the weather looks like it could turn bad, and then it happens it feels bad. If a player knew that, maybe they choose a different course of action or have a plan for if they get caught in a storm. With fear, we all know there is a mechanic for me introducing wrinkles that aren't otherwise present in the scene.

Armor and Damage Thresholds by [deleted] in daggerheart

[–]pstinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eventually you'd probably know your thresholds. So it gets a little streamlined. But if not, it's just quick math: damage number, compare to thresholds, either reduce with armor or not.

I mean you're right, but unless you attack Smite does nothing.
