Oh dang, there’s a sports edition now?
I love the idea of that. Unfortunately it’s probably going to be way to America-centric for me. Someone lmk when they start including IPL and NRL players 😆
To be fair, most French speakers would say the same thing when talking to Quebecois.
No, they have nothing to do with the style of play. They have to do with group dynamics, which is an entirely separate thing.
I actually haven’t ever used them myself. I’ve only played with people I already know or people that those people are vouching for, and I do a solid session zero to establish campaign content and tone. But it’s who I’m playing with and the fact that we’ve discussed it that’s relevant there, not whether we’re playing heroic fantasy romance or dark gritty realism.
Great to see the AEU come out explicitly calling it a genocide.
Shame on SBS for hedging their comments so much. It really isn’t relevant; they had to go a long way out of the flow of the article and this news story just to say “hey, Israel doesn’t like it when you point out their genocide”.
Because they’re valuable whether you’re doing sexy romance or gritty realism or something else entirely. They don’t factor in with the “various styles of play are all equally valid” conversation.

No, 2 years. To go with the “en mass” part in particular.
No bot today because I’ve been out all day and never turned my computer on. But one of the things I’ve done while out is get an ethernet cable to connect my newly-formatted Raspberry Pi up to my network to hopefully run the bot on that, since I’ve given up getting the Synology to work.
Safety tools shouldn’t be lumped under style of play, IMO.
I don’t think people are cheering them on in general. Just cheering them on against Israel. Which, like…yeah. One of these countries has been committing outright genocide and murdering journalists and aid workers en mass for the last 2 years, and then provoked this latest attack by firing missiles at the other.
What is it Israel always says? “They have a right to defend themselves”?
fyi you can put alt text on an image by putting it between the square brackets

Might not be a great option for long and detailed alt texts describing all the text in a comic, but for something simple like this it’s much more convenient for people with screen readers.
Yeah I found that group too.
But I also had lens as the “way of looking at things”. I tried guessing that category with “scoop” instead of lens (knowing that that didn’t feel right, but hoping it was anyway so both categories would work), but after that failed and I knew lens had to go there, I just had no idea what else was going on.

I just had no idea today.
Oh right, I see what they’re saying.
I still disagree, because IMO the fold is key to the silhouette of the Telegram logo (and other paper plane–based logos, like the now-defunct Sparrow third-party Gmail app). The design in these logos just looks to me like the standard navigation arrow that’s used in apps like Organic Maps and Google Maps.
That’s definitely at least a 2nd rank spell.
6 looks way too much like an envelope, implying a mail app, IMO.
4 is a little too similar to Safari.
The other 4 are great. I have no idea what the users in the Codeberg are referring to when they say 1, 2, and 5 look like messenger apps. I don’t see it at all.
In formal English, the comma is just wrong. Informally, I agree it does a very effective job of making the message get across that way.
