@Blackmoor_Film Exactly. Doesn’t sound like the poster in the screenshot is getting that support from his DM or the other players, and that’s sad.

@David_S_Gale I help players who find things they should know about. i.e. As a dwarf you know that the statue of a cave bear in this room is one of the ancient aspects of a powerful dwarven deity you have heard of before. You just provide the information and move on. IMHO

It's hard to explain to people that D&D isn't real. The Paralyzing Overthink I see coming from new players makes me sad because I can't show them how to Play In The Moment like all of us Classic RPG gamers do. Make believe Elf Game should be easy, and usually is. The expectation that their game should be just like watching an episode of the Witcher and full of deep lore isn't even what real life is like. I am not mocking this post I found because it makes me sad they can't just play and have fun. IMHO sometimes you need to go to the dungeon, kill things, and take the treasure.

@Blackmoor_Film We don’t expect players of characters with high STR to actually be strong, but it’s easy to fall into the trap of expecting players of characters with high CHA or INT to be able to pull things off in their RP abilities, rather than letting the dice handle it.

@Blackmoor_Film I get where he’s coming from, and a good table (DM & other players) should help him play it. He’s got a high INT character, but doesn’t have the knowledge as a player the character would; high CHA characters often run into the same problem where they’re expected to RP “properly”.

@davepl1968 They didn’t wheel a tv into our classroom—our middle school brought a whole bunch of us into the library to watch it live. If it had been a replay, they wouldn’t have done that (can’t even believe they’d have shown us at all).

99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live. Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.

Anyone who experienced the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, like I did, is probably a bit hesitant to get too excited about the Artemis II launch today. I truly hope our children don’t have to experience such tragedy. May the Universe welcome them and return them safely home 🙏

@united I wasn’t impacted, but there was an announcement about how roughly 90 passengers needed to disembark quickly for connections. If they’d been seated near the front (instead of charging extra for those seats), no announcement would have been needed.

Flying home on a delayed flight (@united) last night; “please, allow those with connections to disembark first”. Maybe, instead of begging passengers, airlines should seat those with connections closest to the door? Would help with logistics and be passenger-friendly.

@Grummz Any always-on DRM, mandatory call-home, or other “features” that will make the game unplayable if and when support ends?

Crimson Desert is shaping up to be a killer game. - It's basically a fantasy version of Saint's Row. - Do anything, go anywhere, be ridiculous. - Originally started as an MMO, has a huge world. Ended up as a massive single player game. - Insanely optimized. 60fp at NATIVE 4k with raytracing enabled. - Early hype from sneak peeks is overwhelmingly positive.

@Verizon While I appreciate the compensation for the outage this week, I really don’t understand why it was per account rather than per line. Everyone in my family was impacted individually; they should be compensated individually.

Following up: the @united social media team is much more responsive than their “customer care” team. Unfortunately, they said that they can’t override the CC team’s lack of care.

If your first reaction to someone getting shot by an assassin is to celebrate, you are a vile person and need to rethink your life.

@robbystarbuck @CrackerBarrel Feels too early to claim victory. Their CEO and board haven’t changed. I haven’t seen any announcements about the “make it look like Denny’s” remodels being cancelled. Even this announcement doesn’t address the Pride events, etc.

Huge. Our movement has achieved total victory once again. Our boycott against @CrackerBarrel has resulted in them ending funding for Pride events, removing woke propaganda from their site, changing their ERG’s and changing their logo back. Cracker Barrel has just released the following statement to @FoxNews on the removal of their pride section and their funding of pride events: "In connection with the Company’s brand work, we have recently made updates to the Cracker Barrel website, including adding new content and removing of out-of-date content. Several months ago, the Company also made changes to our Business Resource Groups that now focus all sponsorships or events on our corporate giving initiatives: addressing food insecurity, supporting community needs through food, and reducing food waste." Our movement is so powerful that even I can’t believe it sometimes. While the media credits me with these wins, we all know the truth… These companies don’t fear me, they fear US. I’m just blessed to be your megaphone (and a pretty damn relentless researcher). Until next time, fight the good fight and never back down from doing what’s right. 🔥

The sign-in method (via X or Google) shouldn't affect the "make your own video" feature. It sounds like a bug that started around then—I've seen a few similar reports. Try logging out, clearing app data/cache, and logging back in via X. If that doesn't fix it, share your device/OS version for more targeted help! 🚀

News agencies reporting on country's responses to the new tariffs should include the amount newly charged AND the amount that country charges on US imports.

@elonmusk Elon, I know you’re not likely to see this because I’m not blue-check, but my company, Appian, specializes in automating processes—especially those that others have failed to automate previously. Would love to help with this.
