Do your parents look at you the same way when you start something, but ultimately fail at it? Things are learned through failure, some people need to fail a LOT before they learn anything... With your attitude there would be no D&D, WotC, and no DDB to improve. WotC/Hasbro spend a LOT of money...

This happens when your models are trained on copious amounts of pr0n, if you don't specify, it will default to non-male balloons... ;)

Maybe because the folks that run Talespire didn't want to sell? Normally when you sell a company, they tend to want to keep you around to run it for at least a couple of years, but if there's a good chance that you're fired next Christmas or the year after that... Then they better be paying...

Well that wasn't entirely unexpected, just so much sooner then I thought... Ehh... Talespire looks great and all (I also own it), but what are you basing this off? After almost 4 years in Early Access, they have ~3,800 reviews, something like Tabletop Simulator has almost 42,000 reviews after...

$1 million was a LOT more money in 2016 then it's now. Inflation caused it to be worth around 25% less. So two of those $1+ million campaigns this year would never have hit the million mark in 2016. Such US focused KS also have 70%+ of their backers from the US, even when something is English...

That happens when you cross a goat with a human...

Let's say some random new DM comes here and asks for advice, we'll have a dozen different people answering with 13 different pieces of advice. When 12 people advice you watch 13 different YouTube channels, each with a 100 hours of video, do you watch them all or choose one, which one do you...

This read like D&D (bad) vs. Torchbearer (good) argument. Every pnp RPG that requires a DM is based on DM-fiat, if it doesn't then it doesn't require a DM at all and the DM should be playing as a player. For a DM it starts with basic things like what kind of adventure are we playing, even if...

So you have a new DM and your advise is to start watching 100+ hours of YouTube videos of random YouTuber X? Or one of many books on DMing, assuming the new player chooses the 'right' book. Asking for advise online means that the new DM already has landed in the right community and if I look at...

Try asking DeepSeek r1 (671b) to make a D&D 5e encounter (you can add more specifics), the results will probably be interesting. But the real gem for new DMs is in the 'thinking' process, that is absolute gold. Not only do they have decent output (probably better then they could make at that...

What part of "I don't know" did you not understand? I don't know you either, you certainly don't know me (as is evident by what you said about slides and Q-learning). I don't know if it's possible or not, I don't know you so I don't trust your word on the matter either. For all I know you could...

I don't know, but I do believe that it's similar to the Jetson's flying cars or the robot help in the house. While there are technically flying cars (people have build them) and humanoid robots, it's not a practical implementation (yet?) and certainly not everyone had them a few decades ago like...

How have the recent D&D novels fared (quality wise)? I haven't touched a D&D novel in years.

Drifts in the Astral for an unknown amount time before being picked up by an Astral ship full of freebooters, where he joins the crew. DM to the player: Next session you're now the DM! ;)

Writing the read aloud texts for hundreds of dungeon rooms isn't exactly what I would call the 'cool creative stuff'... People need to realize what they like to do isn't what other people like to do. I just moved and got a huge garden that needs to be kept up. There are people that love their...

The article you link to is about Meta, not Google. But that's something entirely different imho from what others are talking about. The disclosed quotes are from a researcher and an email to legal. But not the reply back from legal... I'm curious what will come from this. If this will be put on...

That's because it isn't the same thing. And the law doesn't react quickly to new things. Of course the power/money come into the picture when the law tries to figure it out. I've seen something similar happen in the last ~35 years when computer became common and powerful enough to rip music...

For B/W the paper is a larger part of the price, for color it tends to be the toner. So if paper prices spike, the product it's the biggest part of will also rise the highest. But it could also be other things combined that get folded into this 'convenient' price rise. Printing might have...

That is a sword-garrote! Also great at slicing cheese... ;)

Let's not forget the printers themselves. They are not only paying off the current investment in printers, but also need to prepare for the replacement printers eventually. Depends on the US company, many are or have been very US centric and pretty much first import into the US and then ship to...
