Kinda an interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory
Generations was published in 1991 and this segmenting of people into these categories has only increased since then. I agree it divides people. But I think it’s popularity isn’t manufactured, the simplistic narrative resonates with people naturally
Go Buffy go! If we lose to snowy again I’m gonna riot
This is gonna be a close match!
BFO! BFO! BFO!
Fish owls are going all the way this year, I can feel it
Yep, definitely seems that way, and for a leftist espousing anti-establishment ideas that raises suspicion for me. Glowing coverage in bastions of liberalism like the Guardian and Pod Save America are kinda strange. He’s kinda a nepo celeb so it’s probably just name recognition and he’s seen as safe and good for a story
More common than you might think. When I lived in a remote Amazonian village in the early 2000s, a local teacher was named Hitler (his given name). This area probably barely had contact with the capital in the 50s, let alone Europe. It wasn’t uncommon to choose a powerful or famous name, and Hitler was probably just someone who they knew changed the world.
There were other interesting names still being given too. My favorite was a baby named Shakira Marley while I lived there.
Lots of improvements in the past few versions. I use it every week and love it. 5E D&D system fwiw
My Mac-using players do still seem to have issues with some features and the autoroller module I use but its workable
I have seen the primary dev respond to posts here many times in the past, but not in the last month. Maybe they are on a break or have moved away from checking posts here. The GitHub is probably a more reliable route, yeah.
Seeing this juvenile with those legs makes me like the BFO even more. This is finally gonna be the year fish owl wins OotY!
It makes cross posts obvious so I don’t mind it much but I would also probably select a “Hide crosspost titles” setting if it was an easy addition
Sweet! Always nice to have more options. Hope you have a good weekend too, Demigodrick
Cool, I’ll be sure to subscribe over there once it is set up.
Thanks for your hard work over the last couple weeks, Demigodrick. So many new zippers!
Some do. I like positioning on a grid as a part of combat. It rewards tight play and understanding the mechanics. When I DM though, it depends on the playgroup. I think most people prefer guesstimating and just applying the rule of cool
I agree that alternative objectives are huge. Have some of the enemies be charmed friendlies and there is a cost to killing them. A portal that discharges high level monsters until a device is deactivated. A Darkness emitter is spreading, covering more of the battlefield every round and the enemies have Blindsight. A mage casts Wall of Stone down the center of the battlefield, splitting the fight. Some monsters have built in mini-objectives, like Hydras or Zombies
We do federate with HB at .zip. No defederations from major instances.
You won’t be able subscribe or see the posts of communities there and you also won’t see the comments left by users from those instances on any post. I like .zip because it doesn’t defederate much but instead applies a “default blocklist” for new accounts, which are removable. However, as the other commenter mentioned, .zip is not accessible in the UK due to their ridiculous online liability laws.
Yeah I agree, I didn’t know that was an option but it’s a fine compromise. I don’t usually like “default enabled”, opt-outs, though when Facebook or Microsoft do it they’re not transparent like this. Usually the vast majority of software users never even review the default settings but Lemmy might be different due to its user base
It refers to the official name for the government. Venezuelan would still be correct for everything else.
