Get ready for this to happen in places besides software. Vibe [thing] is spreading, I've seen vibechemistry and vibephysics recently.

In this scenario, obviously become a fisher of men and corner the market on long pork.

Finished Batman: The Ultimate Evil yesterday, and while I don't think I'd call it a good book it was certainly an interesting one. I think even if I hadn't glanced at Andrew Vachss wikipedia page I'd have been able to tell he worked with abused children because this book is not subtle at all...

Moving my former real life group onto a VTT has lead me to an interesting issue where one player, on account of their ADHD, is much more locked into the game and participatory compared to at an actual table while another player, on account of their ADHD, is much worse and is pretty clearly not...

I used to, but a few years ago I got extremely burnt out on how much effort I was putting into TTRPGs vs everyone I played with and this is one of the areas I just can't be bothered to expend any energy on anymore.

That'll probably be next week at this rate.

Seems like a time you should have said "citation please" ;)

Yep, if it wasn't reliable there wouldn't be so many people in positions of power trying so hard to discredit it/jailing wiki editors. Distressingly, I learned there's actually a wiki page listing the latter recently.

It is really depressing seeing how many people that's good enough for.

I don't know why it's become so normal to refuse to provide a source if someone asks for it, and increasingly to be rude to the person asking for it, but I don't care for it.

I was very confused by you calling that a low speed impact until I realized I, an American who is also bad at math, had flipped the kilometers to miles conversion in my head.

I really enjoyed the show up until series four. Part of the show's appeal for me was being more grounded and "realistic" than most spy genre is, so the super spy bad guys (specifically the fight scene where one fights off multiple people and gets hit by a car then just walks it off) took me out...

Language Jones has a really excellent video about gen alpha slang from a few months ago as well.
