I feel honored to be witness to such dizzying new heights of mediocrity in spam technology!

Yeah, you're right, of course. I just edited my post as you replied. It's definitely a regional thing. I'm "y'all" predominates, while "you guys" is the outlier.

In my personal experience, "you guys" is pretty informal, even verging on humorous. (But that's a regional and pop cultural thing, I imagine.) I agree with those saying "you all" as the best option, as it can be formal, it's ungendered, and (I think?) it's fairly independent of dialect.

Yeah, I admit I can totally see Jiminy Cricket as a Jedi master.

There's a copy-paste of the text in a spoiler block in my last post, if you want to read it without clicking a link.

Almost never in the last 6 or 7 years or so; my rpging is mostly by osmosis nowadays. Factoring in halting attempts at soloing, I voted "a couple times a year", but tbh that's probably over-optimistic.

Here's a link to an unrolled version that might be easier to read (NOTE there are some nsfw words): https://skyview.social/?url=bsky.app%2Fprofile%2Ftheonetar.bsky.social%2Fpost%2F3lhn6ol6dpf2v&viewtype=unroll And here's a copy paste, with memes stripped out:

That's one of those errors that's become so prevalent (and in sufficiently elite contexts) that the wrong usage is mutating into correct usage.

I think might be the worst effect: the uncertainty. I worry that we're all stuck in a constant state of "will he or won't he?" for the foreseeable future, as the tariffs take on the aspect of a cudgel rather than economic device.

No, but I've definitely not watched it dozens of times.

I don't (or maybe can't) necessarily put my feelings aside, but I do try to be aware of how I react to it and why. That's critical thinking skills 101, imo.

It's also still a Con save as "carrion crawler mucus" on the 2024 poison table.

I ignore in order to excise spambots when they clutter up the forum feed, and those ignores get cleared off my list periodically. Lately, I tend to read the posts I want to read, rather than reading everything. Since I don't D&D5e, I just do little more than skim the most active threads anyway...

I can't believe that term is only two years old. It just so perfect for our world and all that bedevils us, even beyond the internet.

'Poisoning' means attaching bad metadata (or corrupted data) to an input text or image in order to confuse the training of the AI. Artists use software like 'Glaze' and 'Nightshade' to poison the images they post online, in order to corrupt an AI that attempts to train on those images. A crude...

If I ever rpg again, my "next game" will probably not be fantasy/D&D genre, so any D&D is highly unlikely. Even if it's fantasy, it'd likely be a different system, although BX/BECMI/OSE or an adjacent D&D-esque OSR ruleset is also possible.

In 3e, halflings were depicted as lithe little humans rather than classic pot-bellied hair-foots like Bilbo.

Ack! So many menus to change in so many port towns across the realms!

Wait... Did they really change quipper to piranha?
