Pathfinder_Kingmaker. I spent ages talking about builds and strategies on that reddit sub. I still miss guiding new players into the games. The BG3 community is the closest I’ve found but it doesn’t scratch quite the same itch due to 5e’s simplicity.
Pathfinder does have a few active communities but they are all for the tabletop. The one for the game on Lemmy.world is dead as a doornail.
Thankfully skippable logos and SRS are standard now. Devs won that round.
Sadly I think both would want it, though as you said for different reason. To our detriment either way sadly.
Great Author sadly disqualified due to date for the thread.
My only hope for her is that she has more to put out before she passes. Damned good author.
Children of Time and Shards of Earth are great and Tchaikovsky will only get better.
Upvoted for Bujold and Cherryh. That said I prefer Bujold’s Sharing Knife.
Based on the company I have to check out Tepper.
I love it too, but American Gods is it’s wellspring.
Honestly, Stardust is probably my favorite of his.
American Gods and Neverwhere are classics. Neil Gaiman’s place on this list is assured and well deserved.
Haruki Murakami is probably the best fit for the time limit you’ve requested as his first book was published in 1979, he’s considered to be one of greatest living authors, and Kafka on the Shore is a classic.
That said my nomination would be Brian Jacques. His children’s series Redwall is a long running classic on par with Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland.
Upvoted for the last sentence. Gun and weapon ownership represents the counterbalance of incumbent control. Current control should always be nervous of new powers and new powers should always have the ability to intrude. The lac will introduce a reproductive drift to the detriment of intelligence.
Probably closer to 10:1 or 15:1 in the cases that matter. But since the cases in fact wont willingly surrender the most likely outcome is a Ruby Ridge style stand off for most. Resulting in a body count that dooms national elections. Democrats aren’t stupid enough to endorse even for one term.
Guns are designed to kill that is why they are inherently political.
If I don’t like what you do, say, or are I can kill you. That is what guns do. That is what everyone wants.
If you don’t like that guess what you need guns too. That’s why arms dealers always win.
It’s why both sides are opposed to gun control. Gun Control means authoritarian governance, Your kids are sacrificed on the alter of incumbent Control (assuming Global Dominance 2011+).
Gods we aren’t even into the drift wars.
Trust lvls themselves are just Karma plus login/read tracking aka extra steps.
As for the lack of shitposting I think this is more down to the fact that most of Discourse’s customers are corporation who have paid mods that manage their message boards and shutdown post/conversations that are off brand or topic immediately.
If you are actually advocating that the Fediverse use Discourse’s service you have to be out of your mind. The Fediverse is practically allergic to corporations and exporting that lvl of control wouldn’t sit well with the community at large let alone most of the Admins (nevermind the cost).
A Karma system may or may not be a good addition to the Fediverse but Discourse certainly wouldn’t.
Isn’t this just Karma with extra steps?
I’m pretty much convinced that no one else in this thread has gone more than 48 hrs without eating. Of the four on the wiki I’ve tried only urchin has a different flavor dead to alive, all of the others have been texture or experiential differences.
Eating something alive does feel different.
You and I clearly have a different definition of a good evening.
sluuuuuurp ;)
Like I said couldn’t think of a better term. Maybe life affirming, similar to screwing after watching an execution. The taste of death making everything sweeter? I’m not really sure on this one, but it falls into that dodged death camp. It can be pretty intense.
Watching someone eat is sensual. None of the food described in the wiki article would be a deal breaker.
As strange as it sounds all of these are life preserving(? couldn’t think of a better word) acts. Humans are predators.
I’ve eaten 4 of these and didn’t consider them too bad. None are libido killers, I enjoy watching my lovers eat.
Hot and Scaled are my main sorts. I alternate a couple of times a day. They get me the most interesting content.
I only check the first 3 pages of Active twice per day.
Edit: New is once per week and I generally regret it.
