Slop generators cannot truly replace very many jobs. They can however give your boss an excuse to fire you and enshittify their own company. And most bosses will take that trade if offered. When people say AI is stealing their job, they mean it gave their boss an excuse to fire them. Not that they've truly been made redundant.
I just assume all creators of things I enjoy will eventually be proven to be sex pests. It makes it much easier to justify piracy morally to myself. (/j)
One that felt most silly to me was "does your world have spinoff adventures and one-shots or is it one big story", because this question assumes
A) I have "my" world
B) I always use that world
C) That there is a "main" story
D) Any deviation from that "main" story is a "spinoff"
E) That one-shot adventures have anything to do with any of the above points
There's definitely a version of that question I could answer, but it would be more like one of these (and I'm honestly not sure which the question means):
"Does your group play one continuous campaign or a variety of episodic scenarios?"
"Do you always use the same homebrew setting when you run campaigns?"
"Does your game have a single primary story, or are players free to pursue their own objectives and deviations?"
I've run a dozen sessions of Mothership and never used any kind of minis or tokens to track movement.
I do highly recommend the official mobile app though as it has a character sheet tracker and dice roller and can join people together in a game session.
My neighbour growing up was a cop. He and his wife were Christian fundies who had like 8 kids.
I literally never had a single bad interaction with them, and by all accounts he was an alright dad to those kids. I still see him when I visit my folks for the holidays, and when I do, I see his kids now all grown up with kids of their own visiting their parents
Quebec has its own language authority which I believe does have some coordination with the one in France. Quebecois French diverged from France hundreds of years ago though and so uses different phrases and words that sound weird to French people and vice versa.
Sometimes languages have sounds that are hard to pronounce in other languages.
Also sometimes we came up with a name for a place based on imperfect information and the name caught on and stuck before we learned there was a better name we could be using.
I work with French people who call me Jos instead of Joe. My girlfriend calls me ε¨ (Zhou) when we text each other. I'm fine with all of them as they all map to the same conceptual name.
My name isn't how it's spelled, it's the concept of "Joe". As long as they are calling me the thing that maps to that name, I'm happy. Their brain has its own mapping between language and concepts which is distinct from mine.
This user has a very recognizable style of speech, often brings up the same topics, and shares enough of their personal details that over time I've gotten a sense for it. Also, most of his accounts are created within a few minutes of the last one being banned.
Here is a full list of OP's past accounts. He creates new ones after getting banned for being toxic. His new strategy is deleting posts from his account to hide his tracks. If you scrub through his comment history, you can see the remnants of this behaviour, since Lemmy preserves the titles of posts where someone commented and the fact that they were the OP.
I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner's permit for driving, you can vote even if you're under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.
That, the monospace font, and the heart button which seems to be identical to the upvote button, are all changes I am not a fan of. Otherwise it's not bad.
Even 2000s Nintendo knew Luigi was based (allegedly)

Liminal Horror has an excellent mechanic for this in their "Fallout" system. They also are pretty clearly inspired by the Resident Evil Series

Lust is just greed for sex
Pride is just greed for people to like you
Sloth is just greed for rest
Wroth is just greed for throwing hands
Envy is just greed for other people's stuff

We should really discuss if the government is doing enough to keep an eye on them for their safety.
I've got so much respect for people who fight the good fight and continue posting Pepe in 2024.

Yeah you just delete the posts so it's harder for the mods to spot that you're a ban evader on his 15th account.
