You can get away with it while having some downtime in a village. The bard is making coin in the tavern and the barbarian is drinking in the same place, the priest visits the local chapel, the warlock looks to spend some coin on magic baubles, etc. This also increases the creativity in which you can give your players their next quest.

But once you're out adventuring on that quest, you're a goddamn party. If you don't want to be a party, then go home and play a single player game.

Edit: I have had good DMs separate the party themselves though, but we always spend it trying to find each other again.

You should check out GURPS. Its a simpler system with universal campaigns (modern, fantasy, mech, dimension hopping, steampunk). The system is super easy. You start with 100 points to make your character. You can spend them on stats, skills, spells, and perks. You can even gain more points by taking quirks.

You roll 3d6 for everything. Your goal is to get under your skill number. Fireball of 13 needs to roll under 13. If its raining or something, your GM can choose to put a -4 on that. So now you need to roll under 9. Just simple addition and subtraction, but it works really well.

I mean, I didn't expect to, but boy was I upset I couldn't find this. Would have been a great gift to finally get me disowned from my mom's side of the family.

Federal government threatened Telegram and demanded a backdoor a while back, iirc.

This is probably like... number one on the "my partner might be a doomsday prepper" checklist.

Me sitting on the couch listening to my clock and making it go from "tick tock tick tock" to "tock tick tock tick" back and forth in my head for 27 minutes straight.

Not to mention it actually does happen by birth very rarely. Latent genetic traits can pop up generations later.

That is quite a while, lol. To be fair though, there are an insane amount of lines in most packages. Quietly adding a brief line in a seemingly innocent features package is like hiding a needle in a haystack.

Its easy to overlook things when you have a pile of packages to review during every routine. Its especially true if they missed it the first time, since its easier to review changes in a package rather than go through the whole thing again.

Wow is one of the more community-supported games. I had battlenet and D3 working just fine. Grab Lutris and follow these instructions, you should be good. There are a lot of guides that show you how to get addons working, as well.

It runs just as fine as on Windows. Last I heard, the only thing that doesn't work is raytracing. So unless that's a deal-breaker for you, you should have no trouble running it.

RIP My first thought. Seems appropriate.

Just fyi, I'm pointing out Trump's similarities to an evil villain. I'm not using this to agree. I'm very much against this, having grown up in the woods (practically raised by my local forest, as my mother was an awful drunk and single parent) and I spent most of my youth walking through the peace and quiet of the trees.

I grew up with my mother seeing nothing but my father in me, and was abused for it. Those trees gave me the shelter I needed and I would have been 100x more a mess if I didn't have them. So no. Don't take my fucking trees en masse.

I was just thinking about this the other day after removing the fifteenth torx screw from the bottom of my Shark vacuum's roller head. They hid screws under the pipe hatch and the two tiny friction mounted front wheels. Vacuums are triple the price and rollers are no longer removable from the outside.

45 minutes to fix what is essentially a five minute problem. They'd rather you throw it away and buy the whole head unit from the site. They even have bars blocking you from cutting hair from the roller without opening it.

Shit like this is why I still use an iPod 5th gen. No internet. No tracking apps. Just you and your hard copied music on a device that can be opened, repaired, and modded.
