I think i have to pick my drakewarden autognome ranger Bwiddle V. Splatboot, who was the pilot of our spelljammer ship, whose only moral code was "dragons"
(And the V stood for Vehicularmanslaughter)

Wake Up Dead Man With Big Naturals

It's the best! i also recently started crying in a game when my character thought he had turned his back on his faith, and returned home to apologize for his actions, and lying about it, (kinda expecting to be turned away) and found only love and acceptance

one of my favorite RPG moments so far was when in a Kids on Bikes game, i found a document in-game mentioning a character from my backstory (a friend my character had a crush on) who everyone else in town had forgotten. it took me a moment to register who it was, but when i did, i started crying

Block instantly.

Congrats!!

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

Damn, so the Razer cat ear ones are no good? Good to know

For me the only ones I've found that work are the classic Apple earpods (the wired ones), or at home i also use the HyperX Cloud II gaming headset which is one of the few headphones i found that comes with optional non-leather ear cushions (i hate the feeling of the leather ones)

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste
