Indie games - hell, indie movies, and indie-anything, for that matter - are made without big corporate backing. Therefore they don’t face the enormous pressures to appeal to mass markets. This gives them more freedom to create art for art’s sake, more freedom to take chances and experiment.

Thanks for being the voice of reason, @mlnevese !

It's a fascinating subject. I don't have nearly enough scientific knowledge to have a truly informed opinion, but I read about this stuff sometimes and try to understand it (along with cosmology and other topics in physics that are over my head, and will probably remain so). Until watching that...

This fascinating lecture presents arguments of why there may not be any other life in the universe. Quite frankly, it's the most compelling and intellectually sound discussion I've heard on the topic. It is 'must watch,' imho.

I'd forgotten that there was a random chance for psionics at character creation in 1st ed. Thanks for that reminder! I can't remember anyone in our campaign having psionics, but I remember reading about it - and we were probably all hoping for psi talents when it was time to roll new tunes. It's...

I first experienced psionics back in 1st edition p&p, and I vaguely remember percentile dice being used to manage the mechanics. It was too long ago to remember if it was a good system, and add to that we probably weren’t sophisticated enough to evaluate that sort of thing. But it does resonate...

Unfortunately, these cases will be the exception, not the rule. The main reason corporate entities are drooling over AI is the prospect of not having to pay wages. And when it comes to using AI for civil administration (dispatch, managing city infrastructure, etc.) it will be to abdicate...

Is this all faithful to 5e rules? In reading this, I realize I don't have a clue how D&D works anymore. 😂

I’d be interested to hear how it performs on Mac.

This is a fascinatingly helpful insight. That is an absolute deal-breaker for me.

Well, there's this guide from CamDawg on G3. I *hope* that's what you're looking for, but I have to confess that it's all way over my head.

This, along with the fact that I don’t currently have a computer that can run it, is why I’ll be waiting a couple months to try it. New releases are too damn buggy nowadays.

Enjoy, everyone!

I’ve had problems, too. At one point, due to being trapped on a college campus with nothing to do, I was drinking 10+ cups of strong coffee a day. I finally got caffeine sick. It was REALLY awful. Otherwise I was a regular addict: 4-6 cups a day. Since 2014 I’ve been moderate, however. All good.

Do all marathoners (or ultramarathoners) use caffeine? I had never heard of this before.

Is anyone here excited? 😉 I’m surprised to see it’s actually launching on the planned date. It seems launch dates are always delayed?

;)

Here in Canada, getting a scrip for any kind of opioids or controlled substances is nearly impossible. It's terribly unfortunate, in my opinion, as some people really need those medications and modern studies show that most people won't become addicted to them. As for those who do become...
