@nicolefshirman Billeting is one of those things that when you get a story like this one, or Crosby with Mario, etc then it's clearly amazing and positive. That said there are bad stories and outcomes from billeting as well, tons of sexual abuse, poor living conditions, etc, especially in JR

@A_DungeonDelver @jondelarroz ^ This 100% Star Trek Picard S3 was a fun watch. I may be in the minority but I also really like Strange New Worlds even if it gets silly quirky at times... it still feels trek at it's core. Outside of that Paramount has shit all over the franchise.

@uptheant @ZyMazza If you look at the top 12 grossing movies each year for the last 10 years (so 120 films) only 11 of them were filmed on film. >do you think all movies are shot digitally now? Basically yes.

@DaddyWarpig @DrellWilliam you're confusing security for customs. TSA (and their equivs from other countries) are simply making sure you're not a danger to the flight (security theater). Customs you will pass as you enter any country to declare goods and state reason for entering etc.

@DrellWilliam Don't you interact with the TSA when you land? Like they have to clear you to enter the country or whatever?

That is NOT the way to sneak past the TSA. That is the way to get your luggage deep searched and also maybe a pat down or more. There have been complaints.

@Woll4Vezina @IMatt458 So if you understand that a currency conversion happened what are you complaining about? You don't have to play dumb I'm sure you're a natural at it.

@yarrfish @davepl1968 I'm gen x.. we were more inquisitive because the alternative was boredom. They don't have that alternative... its not a fault on them it is on the environment they are in.

@TheRedcapsNet @davepl1968 Not the intent. It's just that we're different. Yeah I work in tech, but I can rebuild an engine as well. We had the freedom and imagination to tinker and experiment. They grow up via instructions. A to B then C. 80% of us were inquisitive. 20% of them are (being generous).

I taught the elementary kids' computer lab at the local elementary school for about ten years. By about fourth grade, the kids vary widely in PC ability. You'll have one kid porting Doom and one kid crying because CAPS LOCK is on and he can't log in. One kid trying to eat toner while another fixes the projector. A lot of that is comfort - you can tell some kids use a PC at home a great deal while others have seemingly no exposure. Does it matter? No idea! I understand limiting screen time and so on, but sometimes kids who genuinely have a knack for it are being held back by good intentions! When I sold my company, we donated all the extra PCs and monitors to the school... a couple of dozen Dell Dimension 4200s and so on. Absolutely required for any mid-2000s computer lab!

@yarrfish @davepl1968 Shouldn't be considered a long day should be considered a great day where you taught a bright kid something new. You didn't come out of the womb knowing this shit, so pass it along, don't facepalm and make them feel bad teach them!

@davepl1968 I'm fixing the computer of a friends kid on Saturday. He's a straight-A student, honors everything, gaming addict. Me: Okay, restart and go into BIOS. Him: ? Me: On restart press F2 to go into BIOS. Him: What is F2? What is that other word?!? It was a long day.

@davepl1968 I don't think any kid that is gifted is being held back by a parent limiting their mobile device time. I do miss computer lab time, we learned a bunch about networking getting Duke3D to work :P

It's insane to me that most Americans can't even comprehend metric units and Celsius without converting. I understand it's not the system used, but it IS the international system, used in all scientific fields and ~every other country. Useful to at least instill the basics.

Four humans are about to travel further from home than any other living creature in roughly 30 mins. You should be watching the NASA live streams. Embrace something good and tune out all the negative.

#Fact Matt Tapp is living proof that a 200+ player "Game-of-games" is not only possible, but what the boys have been craving all along. The online tools he had created to make it all possible are top-notch! Why hasn't every TTRPG creator, DM, and player jumped into the fun and ever expanded the universe with their games, skills, and epic characters?

Matt Tapp's game and his campaign vis-a-vis his discord server, has broken all the rules the dungeon tubers have proclaimed for the past half decade. It's a huge success. It is proof that it's not about a rule or a technique that makes a good GM. It's specific virtues that his GMs have and how they approach the challenge of a 200+ gaming club.

I have to disagree on this one. We don't do Skinsuit playing at my table. We use 1:1 time to allow players to interact with the world in more immersive ways than just adventuring. They can do their training, research, shopping, etc. outside the table as the world progresses. Then we can focus on adventure and roleplay when we are at the table. We have 200+ players in my campaign, and 10+ referees. With games running almost nightly. Players usually play a refereed session once or twice a week. In the off time, they roleplay as their characters on the server. Some players take the route of simple orders such as: "XOR will train for the next 4 days, and then do some shopping" Or other may just text roleplay with other players in the town. After a week in the real world passes, a week in the game world cycles. This allows for more roleplay opportunities, without scheduling constraints. And allows you to step into an immersive game. Can you run an immersive game without 1:1 time? Of course, especially if you keep a good calendar. However it's much easier to just let time progress. Side note. I am not a member of the Brosr. I don't think I am claimed by that group, and I've never met Jeffro. In fact I didn't know he existed until about 8 months ago. I talk about 1:1 time in Barrows & Borderlands because it's what we have used for over 5 years in campaign. As such, I can only write about things I do. I agree with you on so much, but I don't think a game can be considered "non-immersive" just because you don't pause it. Roleplaying games are games where players assume a role. That's it. Adventure Games are games where players go on adventures. These terms are fairly self explanatory.

Diversity & Dragons@WeeWheaton·
I saw @mikemearls on Questing Beast's channel. At the end of the interview he said "think about what you want from D&D" and basically don't get upset about the past. Mike, with all due respect, the head of D&D in 2023 said that white guys could not leave the hobby fast enough. Neither you back then, or ANYONE at WotC currently, has ever publicly addressed those comments. Let me put it to you like this. If a D&D director had said "black people couldn't leave the hobby fast enough", do you think there'd be a statement or two from the C-suites? I know you're not quite as crazy as some of the kooks still over there, but you're still in quite a leftist bubble if you think it's gonna be that easy. Many of the old fans are not even going to consider coming back until that, and Jason Tondro's dismissal of old fans as "irrelevant grognards", are actually acknowledged. I appreciate your honesty, but your personal politics may have blinded you to just how mad old fans are. And by "old", I mean "those with plenty of disposable income and not quite as near death as WotC would like".
