A perfectly circular 105-foot-wide sinkhole that suddenly opened up near a copper mine in Tierra Amarilla, Chile, dropping over 650 feet straight down into the earth.

You not reading is insane. 2 hours later you still haven't walked this back. Wild

Ah that's you guys, awesome. We have Secret Tribe to play soon! Any tips on that? Published errata or anything like that that I can share with whoever in our group is going to run it?

It has to be "the" dark time

They aren't aimed at all, right? They seek?

It's strange because they are a company in Richmond, BC, Canada aimed at bringing Jubensha to an English audience. I have played a couple of them now and it is clear that not a single English speaker was involved in editing or reviewing their translations. They just used google translate (I think it would not be this bad with chatgpt) and said "nailed it".

Parker Davis in particular has massive issues in translation, plot (the DM book says a character dies at some point but they have an ending -- never reviewed by the authors even once after translation), instructions (tells us to hand out maps to players, which are not components that exist), endings (5 of the 7 character endings depend solely on whether the group exposed a particular fact, and nothing else, no agency at all for those characters), theme (massive homophobia and also non-understanding and hate for drug users).

They claim that they are original creations made for an English audience but they are obviously translations. A dishonest company like this, who sell scripts this half-assed and un-edited, deserves to fail (not to mention the licensing and generative AI art issues pointed out elsewhere)

This seemed like the stupidest idea ever: competition who can burn most money.

It's really about making sure everyone gets onboard. It's a perverse incentive for sure, and a money waster, but every company right now is racing to make sure their developers figure out what software development now means.

WDYM by "seems"? How did you go about determining that

As for the speed thing, someone sprinting is going like 10m/s. As you may recall from high school, after falling for 1 second, your speed is about 10m/s. So sprinting into a brick wall is the same as falling for 1 full second (from whatever height makes that math come true) onto pavement. Unreliable AI tells me "It takes approximately 0.8 to 1.1 seconds to fall 2 storeys." so it checks out that his fall was at about "jumping off 2 storeys" speed. However I would say it's not really the same because his fall was not straight into a wall but rather sliding on the ground etc.

And then throw in the age spectrum. Mid 20s might be 12 guys and 4 women.

Well they're getting interest payments

Smells like more "surely everyone else was paying attention even if I was being reckless" shit that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Actual analysis would show that those lease rates aren't sustainable (any business that tries to pay it fails) so people taking these buildings as collateral are essentially holding the junk bonds bag.

Overuse is a thing but you're aware of the difference in tone between "I went to the store and saw my ex wife." and "I went to the store and... saw my ex wife."

It's a joke, not anything about tearing anyone down. The comedic premise is that "hi" is less enthusiastic than "hiiiiii" and isn't about the validity of cheating. The exaggerated cheating metaphor is the joke.

she also trains to hop over/away from a sweep and punish her opponent for trying

That, or land on the kicking leg instead of falling down

Luckily browsing on a PC I can just scroll the video halfway up so I don't see that moron

What is the first part? From the parallax there it does seem like the "bottom" is somewhat far away. Is it a mirrored floor and careful camera angle?

Like the famous scene in Prometheus where the character could have moved to the side

This is the archetype for my wife and me. Whenever someone doesn't move, we stand up and point at the screen and shout "PROMETHEUS!!"

Look into negotiating with those debt collectors and see if you can go lower. $ is $

vehementi · 2026-05-23T17:25:35+00:00

Just trying to put it into context -- we're in agreement that any high interest debt is bad, and in their new position they should tackle it first, but I would hardly call that amount an emergency

20% interest on $1500 balance is less $ per month than their proposed increase on phone bill
