- Untitled May 15, 2024 9:30 pmI now bridged my #ttrpg #irc server (which barely anyone uses) to my #discord server (which is just as dead)Not sure WHY I did that, but the bots show up as seperate users so it looks a bit more active than it actually is.
- Untitled May 15, 2024 8:30 pmI don't think that's what you want when buying energy drinks, but you do you.#drink #poland
- Untitled May 15, 2024 8:36 amone of the best parts is actually the parts where you drive around the Mako on various other planets. There isn't much to actually do, but the scenics are sometimes really nice.
- Untitled May 15, 2024 8:12 amit also... doesn't really have interesting characters. So far the most interesting is John Shepard himself, and he is as boring as a bit of stale bread. And that still is better than the others.
- Untitled May 15, 2024 8:03 amalso frustrating: Feros had a few "one-way drops" that really shouldn't have been. I could have climbed them, and I'm a 40yo fat guy with a desk job and bad knees, not the first human spectre. which became really frustrating when I was trying to leave via one of them because I just couldn't see the actual exit in Feros. In the end I had to use a walkthrough to figure out that there was a dark corner I had missed.
- Untitled May 15, 2024 7:59 amplaying through Mass Effect 1 the last few days. Man, that game feels somewhat badly designed. It feels like it wants to be both a #crpg and a shooter, and it doesn't quite pull it off.Also the Legendary Edition I am playing has so many spots that are too dark to see it feels like walking through the game blind at points. If I have to use the map to find the exit of the room there's definitely something wrong.I assume part 2 will be better.#gaming
- Untitled May 13, 2024 9:29 pm@ElleGray ? Uhm... and why are seed oils evil?
- Untitled May 13, 2024 9:04 pmFound a glitch
- Untitled May 13, 2024 8:41 pmAnyway, how sensitive would detectors for passive radiation from nuclear weapons be? Are there handheld devices?
- Untitled May 13, 2024 8:27 pmResearching nuclear weapons for my next #shadowrun scenario. Maybe i should use a VPN?
- Untitled May 12, 2024 12:54 pmugh, we had another session 0 (sort of) yesterday, where we argued about my new character, and the two before which did not win the others' fancy.It still is bugging me, because I put multiple hours of work into both, when I just clicked together basically a stock archetype this time. and they were complaining that you can only create cookie cutter characters with the SR3 priority system, but when I use it it's all of a sudden too far out. #shadowrun #ttrpg
- Untitled May 12, 2024 8:44 amHad to take both kids to my 7yo's logopaedics today. Packed some additional food and water and snacks so we can have a small picnic in the allotment garden later. My 5yo even took it downstairs with him.Of course then he stashed it in a secure place in the basement instead of taking it to the car. As one does.
- Untitled May 11, 2024 8:28 pmworse, I am 4 hours in and the only thing I can think of to describe the characters is: "I don't care what happens to these people". (the famous 8 deadly words)
- Untitled May 11, 2024 8:22 pmfinally got around starting that Mass Effect Legendary Edition I got ages ago and it's... humm... a pretty clunky game? It feels cumbersome and slow and the story takes ages so far and I don't see it getting that much better soon. #gaming
- Untitled May 9, 2024 9:00 pmto defend Poland and Lodz a bit, the city really has used taxes and EU funds well, and the city looks quite far from the decrepit state I encountered when I came here first in 2008.
- Untitled May 9, 2024 8:58 pmso a substitute teacher somehow thought it was a good idea to ask my kid's class what their thought about their home country were. They had to write down 4 things. I am not sure she expected the results, my son's friend (6yo), the little tiny shy mouse that he is, managed to sum it up with: *broken pavement *dirty streets *ugly buildings *people stealing numberplates and just bribing their way out of troublegood lord, that kid is a natural born cynic if I have ever seen one.
- Untitled May 9, 2024 4:03 pmgoogle is getting worse and worse in areas I didn't expect them to get worse. A mail my wife sent me 2 hours ago somehow only now arrived.
- Untitled May 9, 2024 3:52 pmI was absolutely useless the whole day. I think I managed to catch the cold my wife had the last few days.
- Untitled May 8, 2024 4:57 pmIt occurs to me (for a while already) that something is going wrong when the result of working on a successful media property is getting fired and the company closed. They most likely can do a tax writeoff like that. #gaminghttps://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/making-good-profitable-games-will-no-longer-keep-you-safe-games-industry-expresses-fury-and-heartbreak-over-closure-of-hi-fi-rush-and-prey-studios/
- Untitled May 8, 2024 4:05 pmThere is this mother on the playground who was just discussing stuff with her daughter and then her daughter was doing whatever she wanted anyway. That look of resignation on her face was like I was looking into a mirror.

@JubalBarca @gmkeros.wordpress.com I think it might be a cool way to start something with. there should be lots of variations on that theme.
