Works at larps too. One I go to (in NL) has Dutch as common, and we use English as Elvish and, depending on with whom I talk, I express Dwarvish with either Scottish English, Northern English or German. If I really want to commit to the bit, I should learn High German or an Austrian dialect for Dwarvish.

My too-lazy-to-cook recipes still involve some cooking. One has me cut up some chicken thighs, add a load of spices, and throw em in a frying pan. Stir occasionally. Then stick em on some tortillas with shredded lettuce, garlic sauce, salsa, sriracha and grated cheese.

Alternatively, fry some diced bacon while heating up a pot of water for spaghetti. When the bacon’s good, remove & discard about half the rendered fat. Next, beat an egg and grate in some Parmigiano Reggiano* cheese. When the pasta water is good, cook some spaghetti. When the spaghetti is done, take it out of the pasta water with some tongs and throw it straight into the pan with bacon. Then add the egg mixture and start stirring immediately, the egg mixture cooks from the heat still in the spaghetti. Add cheese and a little bit of pasta water to taste.

* more generic parmesan will do, though the best texture is reached with freshly grated cheese. I have access to Parmigiano Reggiano at a price that won’t break the bank for me though, so the real Italian deal it is for me.

The biggest mistake I made with the Cleric I play in my current session is that I do have Guiding Bolt, a 1st level spell dealing 4d6 radiant damage with a spell attack, but not Word of Radiance, which deals 1d6 radiant damage against anyone whom I want to cast it on as a cantrip, or Sacred Flame, which does 1d8 radiant against a specific target, also as a cantrip. I’m pretty much going into my upcoming boss fight against a (presumed) vampire going “I want y’all to pin down and/or restrain the fucker, 'cause I get only one shot at this and I want to make it count.”

ngl, if the game’s control scheme has you control pitch and yaw with the mouse, then I find that it’s all or nothing with control inversion.

For instance, in Space Engineers, if I move as the engineer, I prefer straight controls for pitch and yaw. But when I’m piloting, I prefer inverted pitch and can wrap my mind around inverted yaw.

Inverted y? Yes.

Inverted x? Not really? Sometimes? Depends on the context?

This. If you invent some machine or process that will change the world, you have twenty years to make your fortune, after which you will be out-competed on price by cheap Chinese knock-offs. But if you write a book or a song or make a film, if it takes off you’re set for life. And not only that, your descendants will be set for another seventy years.

20 years is quite short. But life+70 is too long. I’ve seen one more conservative take that would like to see 50 years for creative works. That would give enough time for two bouts of nostalgia, and meanwhile it would mean that Mozart and Beethoven would be joined by Hendrix and Elvis, that Shakespeare and Shelley would be joined by the likes of Orwell. You & I would be free to make new James Bond stories (and probably do a better job than the ones that currently have the film rights)

Cool to see the edge cases for Elves and Vampires. What would be practical limits for humans?

And have that tender blacklist be EU wide.

I can remember only once where I would say I was lucid dreaming. I was walking down an old, fairly creepy, dimly lit street, and as I approached a corner I thought “wait, I hate horror” and conjured up a gun. At this point I knew I had control, and ended up walking into a nearby pub or tavern to start playing Cards Against Humanity with some mates.

either way, his employment there has come to an End.

I heard that there were already plans for protests. I’m considering to join them.

Republic, you say? *King Willem-Alexander has entered the chat*

In this election, the “libs” are the VVD who, as a socialist (GL/PvdA) I’d hate to say but, are the most right wing reasonable party. You cannot project American political discourse and concepts on Dutch politics.

I’d wish upon Omtzigt to stick to his morals and tell the PVV to pound sand. Meanwhile, Timmermans has already declared that he’s ready to lead the opposition, and he has a history of zero patience for fascists, so there’s a chance this’ll become a minority coalition.

In gemeente Zwolle ook, dus ik heb mijn potloodje ook meegenomen

It’s a quote, which suffers from censorship. I’ll let you complete it.

I watched it with a Larp group which does regular D&D as well, and we spent a good amount of time ID’ing spells, classes, and moments that would make you go “wtf dungeon master‽”

From what I’ve gathered from other threads, it’s meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users. It appears though that Firefox users ended up in the crossfire, while uBO can be rigged to block the sleep() function in that case, nullifying the wait.

Also, 3. That was meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users
