You’re welcome! My group enjoyed it for sure, I will say the companion app is a huge helper. We particularly liked how the rules aren’t overly complex and easy to homebrew.

Definitely runnable without it.

I’ve only played Mothership for a oneshot (over multiple sessions) while waiting on a party member to become available.

We did not have TT/VTT. We had some visual aids, like the layouts of ships were sent in chat for us to look at. I don’t think it really hampered the experience, and I have aphantasia so “theater of the mind” usually doesn’t help me much lol. It was more than serviceable.

Actually just started Chrysalis 6: Antvance into the Unknown this morning.

The entire series has been interesting so far!

Lotito holds the record for the “strangest diet” in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a plaque, made of brass, by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.

I love this.

During my last visit with my grandfather before he passed, he was asking everyone “any personal requests for me to bring to God on your behalf”. I’m not religious but it did sort of disarm the tension.

My cheap knockoff elgato has that and it still creeps me out when I use it lol.

Looks like the font + italics is rendering the ampersand (&) weird. At least too me it just looks like a really fancy ampersand.

You’re describing a sense of nostalgia. And no, I don’t consider it immature.

He did violate their IP, just not with the mod itself but the advertising / his posts - at least in my uneducated opinion.

Take these examples:

https://archive.is/xKCtk https://archive.is/bfg53

He’s using their IP to advertise his commercial product - a paid mod that supports their game. This use of IP generally isn’t considered fair use. It’s not the fact that it supports the game that’s a violation, it was the advertising that was more my point.

And then as DMCAs generally go, companies overreact (like Patreon) and overreach. I don’t think CD Project Red could reasonably have done anything if all this was was a footnote that his mod supports CP2077 and the advertising was happening via content creators plugging it - or otherwise off Patreon. But because he happens to use their IP to advertise directly, this was the outcome.

I’m not a lawyer though, there is probably more at play here.

If he had a generic mod that happened to support Cyberpunk 2077 / that other game that got him DMCA’d, I’d agree. But he’s using that IP, name, etc. to market his product and sell it - the publisher is well within their right to not want to be associated with that.

A DMCA (copyright) troll has a much different connotation than what these two publishers are doing.

What about age 30 means things are over?

So if it has to be a number the question is - is the array of options, ['Fish', 'Bird'], 0-indexed or not? I guess 1 is the safest choice but not true to your actual choice.

I apologize, that wasn’t my intent. I must admit I didn’t read either article and didn’t take the time to consider how it would come across, I merely saw them next to each other in my feed and thought it was a funny coincidence that they looked alike.

I know this is off topic but the thought of relying on an email to know when I can pick up my dog from the vet is appalling. My vet calls me and as soon as I see the caller ID I’m out the door lol

I will say that getting a question ignored when asked in a manner that is contrary to the rules of that community is normal. People not reading the rules and guidelines and asking inappropriately is very common and results in a lot of burnout.

But you are correct - it takes little effort to not be an asshole, and in those situations one should just move on and let the powers that be clean it up.

Well, I wouldn’t call it’s premium. Unlocked is closer to MSRP, whereas carrier locked is being subsidized by the carrier and whatever requirements they have in place. You’ll usually end up paying more in the long run then if you went with unlocked and a MVNO.

Like usual with us humans and our fickle minds, YMMV.

There are many factors that can impact this, though I would clarify - you aren’t losing memories, they’re there, just harder to access. You aren’t losing your sense of self, it’s evolving - who you are as a person is constantly changing.

For me personally, as someone with aphantasia I’ve never really been in touch with my memories in the first place. I’ve been very much a “in the moment” person - despite that my past experiences do define me, even if I don’t know why.
