Great post. Star Wars/Genesys is a great RPG system, but fuck proprietary dice. It’s even more egregious that a pack of FF dice isn’t a full “play-set”, and star wars/genesys use slightly different symbols. I managed to buy a bulk set of blank dice and shade them for less than the price of a single set of FF dice.

Baroque: possessing a marvellous proof, which the margin of your book is too narrow to contain.

I have no eye for this, but around 110% looks like a normal person’s face to me.

Similar story. The only upgrades I made to my 2014 desktop were a 1TB SSD and a used RTX2070 to play BG3 in 2023. I don’t care much for the latest multiplayer shoot em ups with simulated leg hair growth, but I can play most other titles from the past year at the highest graphical settings.

It’s more insidious than dead internet theory. Imagine any significant social media platform containing a large proportion of users that can be directly prompted to tout any message, or mass downvote opinions that the company doesn’t like. All this can happen while the company claims to be a “free speech platform”.

Were you not aware of it at any point? I don’t necessarily mean as part of the GCSE curriculum. I’ve been aware of the Odyssey and the Iliad from the “Ancient Greeks” part of our primary school curriculum back in year 4. Of course we weren’t analysing texts, but I’d expect any ten year old to be capable of rattling off some major plot points like blinding Polyphemus, or sailors plugging their ears with wax against the sirens and tying Odysseus to the mast.

Liam’s a tool. UK schools absolutely do teach the Odyssey, and have done so at least as far back as my youth.

Either I have brain rot or have become really jaded to the republican anti-trans agenda (probably both). I fell for the title for about a second.
