The word choice of “subrace” is definitely not great but I could see this being used as inspiration for a fantasy creature.

There’s all kinds of mutated body horror creatures in ttrpg’s it’s not that weird.

I’m working on a half-slug half-man adventure module for instance.

I’ve actually found Bing to be way better than Google for a while now. It’s not even close, idk what Google did to their search engine but it’s pretty frustrating. It’s all ads and irrelevant links.

Nice, some of my material is also ttrpg related so that’s especially helpful haha Thanks!

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It’s on my shelf as I type this.

It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

Mind if I ask what a better option would be? Looking to release some work myself in the next year and was going to start looking at which options would be best.

I guess I am wondering why not just remove the insult comments as they broke the rules instead of nuking the whole thing?

My guess is that it’s just an equation of energy input and time spent. Is it worth removing the problem comments if they keep coming back? How much time as a mod are you willing to spend removing and banning people like that? I can understand taking the approach they did. Personally, I think maybe just locking the thread would’ve been a better compromise. But I’m not a mod here nor would I want to be lol

Filing that info for later, thanks!

Sync is the only app I know if that does that right now but I could be wrong.

Edit: and now I know Connect can too, there you go OP

It’s my turn to ask the question tomorrow morning, I call it.

Now I just need Merry to put a hand on my shoulder and tell me “I don’t think they know about fourth once-in-a-lifetime financial crises.”

As a millennial I think this is number three… Maybe four?

I’m so happy this is the top comment when I came in here. We’re not centralized social media that requires constant content generation to acquire more views and we shouldn’t try to treat it as such. Donate to your instances when you can, contribute to communities you care about with posts/comments, and then when you reach the end of your feed log off. How forums are supposed to be imo.

I’d be surprised if you hadn’t read it already, it’s Mort by Terry Pratchett. I’ve been meaning to start Discworld for ages but kept finding excuses and finally started my journey reading them in chronological release order. I really wish I started this series sooner. What an absolute delight it’s been!

I keep seeing you pop up in comment sections. I almost finished my book last night just a few chapters left and I promise I’ll post something to your instance to promote activity lol

It’s someone somewhere deciding what I can or can’t see on a remote host they have no control over.

I mean, they do have control over it in a sense. They can defederate from it so it’s no longer on their instance, which they did. You can still access the community from other instances though, like you’re doing now, so it’s not really a big deal. This is how federation is meant to function. People running their instances by their own rules.

I agree though, their rationale for defederation from this community does not add up for me either. But at the end of the day they can be as irrational as they want with their instance.

Are we okay with this?

It’s their instance, their rules. You can join another instance that doesn’t defederate from them or make your own. That’s the beauty of the fediverse design. It doesn’t matter if we’re okay with it, we have options to get around it unlike with centralized platforms.

I hope the DM let you roll against WIS or something.

Or at least raise an eyebrow and ask “Are you sure?” from behind the screen because that’ll get any player to second guess what they’re about to do.

It’s like a Midwestern US word for surprise or exclamation, commonly used in place of “whoops” or even “oh”. It’s also common in Canada from my understanding. Somebody from lemmy.ca feel free to correct me there.

Nope, I have cats and it’s still only one way. I’m sorry but we can’t be friends with that attitude.
