I actually did learn it by reading the rules. Rules I found at a Long's Drugs store, with no price; I asked how much it was, and I think they gave it to me for $10. I took it home, read it, and got a couple of friends to play. We only played a few times, though.

What most (irrationally) aggravates me about this anecdote is, why on Earth would it be the *pilot's* job to collect her possessions? She has assistants, isn't that their job? Like, say, special government employee/sidepiece Corey Lewandowski?

@evilhat.bsky.social Either @backerkit.com is having a seizure, or they have not learned that spacing is important. The last update had this:

All those danged Angles and Saxons and Jutes! And the Romans! Oh, the Romans, with their roads and buildings and legions!

@joplinapp.bsky.social How can I get support for a billing issue?

Pointy hat, checks out.

Holy shit, indeed. Hail Caesar, indeed. That was frakkin' amazing.

@joplinapp.bsky.social Q: my free trial expires next week, & I got an email reminder; rather, I got 2 emails, to 2 different email addresses: the address I used for Joplin & the address Stripe has for me.

Is that why I got 2 emails?

Or did I somehow start 2 trials? (& thus need to cancel one)

They'd hear the boos at Great America, then join in.

That ain't it, pal. ICE is causing more terror than Al-Qaida ever did.

Foxit on Windows, GoodReader on iOS.

Did you recently get an email from Evernote, too?

@johnrogers.bsky.social Saw this - why does that number sound so familiar?!? Tyrone's genius needs to be more widely appreciated.

About forty months until the Crash almost entirely wipes out the Internet, so not too much longer.

(Wait, I keep forgetting - are we on the Shadowrun timeline, or not?)

Tiberius. It came from Tiberius.

Who do we bribe to get a Benoit Blanc-Cordelia Cupp team-up?

@sixthworld.bsky.social I
'm reading recent Shadowrun novel, and it's fine, but driving me crazy. Force fields? Ugh, fine, whatever. But SR has orks, not orcs, they aren't green, and they don't see heat!

Google search results for "world war 1 movie" includes the following top picks about World War I: Inglorious Basterds, Operation Mincemeat, Hacksaw Ridge; top WWI action movies (according to Google) include Midway, Dunkirk, Inglorious Basterds. The best category is at the bottom: "Movies set in the Soviet Union about World War I" - including 1944, Enemy at the Gates, Unknown Soldier, and Red Dawn. I mean, I don't even know how to really comprehend the stupidity of this. C'mon, man! Google, your shit is too stupid. It's time to shut it down, shut it all down.

Google gets dumber and dumber. My friend was talking about a WWI movie, so I googled "World War 1 movie" to see if I could find the one he was talking about. This is Google's "results":

The cover of a fraudulent "book", purportedly by Greg Rucka, but not actually.

No, that's issue #2 of the comic. This is what he's referring to (and it almost fooled me):

Introduce yourself with your top 5 #TTRPG picks.

Mutants & Masterminds
GURPS
Shadowrun
Savage Worlds
Dungeons & Dragons

(Note: subject to change. For example, in 5 minutes Champions/Hero or Conan/some other 2d20 game may be on the list.)

It counts.

In addition, SSA also claws back any money from the current month's payment. My mother died on December 30th, 2023; not only wasn't her SSA payment direct deposited in January, they withdrew the money from the December payment from her account.

In California, at least, they seem to mostly use some kind of expensive phone service now, instead of collect calls, IME. Someone (the inmate or someone on his behalf, I think) adds money to his account, which allows them to make calls.

<looks towards garage, where OD&D reprint sits, & 2-3 different versions of Basic D&D, two copies of AD&D 1e PHB, DMG, MM, & assorted other books; all of D&D 3e and D&D 3.5e; the D&D 4e core books. The D&D 5e (2014 and 2024) books are in the house.

That's just D&D!

Did she go to her hairdresser and stylist and ask for the Valentina Allegra de Fontaine look?

my GURPS Cyberpunk campaign from the '90s had POTUS as an idiot who more interested in sex and drugs while others ran the government for their own corrupt, authoritarian purposes. With, of course, the involvement of the mega-wealthy and megacorporations.

It was set in 2026.

I'm so very sorry
