    Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem

    Not exactly because the college kid is an actual human person. For real people, piracy can be a gateway drug to a lifetime of spending. Downloading that first song back when I was a teen with no money led me to become hooked into that band so now that I have money, I spend it on discs concerts...

    There's quite a lot of empty space and lots of concentrated lights.

    TIL something about a rear window Garfield craze in the late eighties. I had heard about it from the cartoon, but having been born after it, I thought it was made up as a commentary on consumerism. I learned of it because the other day I finally saw a window Garfield on a Taxi. I didn't even...

    Today I learned, more like today I remembered. In 2002, Make-a-wish chose a kid named Tyler who had a severe liver cancer which had already ruptured and had a bad prognosis. Tyler's wish was to design his own Yu-Gi-Oh card. Manga author Kazuki Takshashi himself drew the art. Only one copy was...

    Spoilers Academy Awards 2025

    I didn't go out of the way to watch it. I was planning to not watch it at all. But I dined out and they had it playing in the restaurant. I wasn't paying attention, but managed to see the musical number with Deadpool in the middle. No idea who won.

    Ernie Gygax Has Passed Away

    Regardless of his worst actions and opinions I don't approve, somebody dying will never be good news. Nobody is perfect, let his good deeds be cherished and his bad ones be lessons for us to be better. Rest in peace and my condolences to Luke, Rob, and the rest of his family and friends. Edit...

    D&D 3.x Still playing 3e? Share your 3.0 and/or 3.5 house rules

    From the top of my head. In general: pare down all situational modifiers to +/-2, 5, 10, and 20. Every modifier that would be a +/-1 is either removed or turned into a 2. Remove scaling by caster level. (To remove moving parts) Heighten does increase numeric effects. Keep things to mostly...

    D&D General Not the Wicked Witch: Revisiting the Legacy of Lorraine Williams

    It is quite cool to have so much lore and material to enjoy. But in hindsight, it wasn't close to being profitable. Nowadays WotC can earn a pretty penny with ebooks and the occasoonal reprint because they got them for a pittance. But losing TSR is the price we as a community had to pay. A TSR...

    TIL (more like the the day before yesterday) that due to mistrust by the local inhabitants, the team that first meassured the height of the Himalayas had to do it from 240km away using only observation and trigonometry. They got the height of Mount Everest off by only 8 meters. Also that such a...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Avowed is in my radar, but I need to buy and play Palworld and BG3 first. And there's still Birthright and KoTOR in my backlog. As well as RE2 remake. Meanwhile my time is consumed by Minecraft, and Arena.

    What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

    @Ruin Explorer, check "Moon Channel" (don't confuse if with the "Moon" channel, as it is the opposite. Look for the one with a cute cartoon moon and Ace Attorney characters instead of a moon face with a rocket on the eye). There's one video about how Japanese pop culture is getting a push...

    What's The Next Big Pop Cultural Push?

    @trappedslider Yeah, I was thinking of the Odyssey. Somehow it crossed in my mind with the Argonauts.
