I have issue with almost all of your points.

• Dex & wisdom would be the important stats for sailors IMO (i am not saying strength and con are useless, but just not as important, they would be 3rd and 4th IMO).
• Darkvision wouldn't do a damn thing, its range would barely get off the side of the boat.
• Poison resistance is not disease resistance.
• Some spoiled food would be poison, but some would also be disease (depends on how it spoiled and the food).
• In order for short stature to be relevant to ship design, they would need a completely custom designed ship tailor made for them, which would have benifits but sounds unlikely for what pirates would be sailing. (That being said, a dwarven merchant ship designed speciifcally for their stature would be a massive pain for normal height characters to battle on)
• lower speed means they swim slower too which means going overboard is even worse.

EDIT: dwarven submarines!

• short stature actually hugely relevant as submarines are notoriously cramped
• darkvision means no need for lights in the sub, beneficial for multiple (admittedly somewhat minor) reasons.
• honestly no clue what stats would be important for a sub, no argument here
• toxic gasses less of a problem thanks to poison resistance
• Dont even need to go to the surface, a fully underwater submarine port could be connected to existing dwarven settlements near the ocean with the correct design and planning.
• Also benefits from legendary dwarven engineering.

Considering (according to Wikipedia at least), the entire franchise has only sold 88 million copies, even if this was worded to be for the franchise to reach 100m would be a stretch.

100m copies sold for a single title would make it 3rd best selling game of all time loosing only to Minecraft and GTA V.

Found this applies nicely to my career. Routineish work? Drag my feet and fight myself to do anything. Fixing problems (bigger the better)? Everybody stand back, I got it.

Whole damn system failed due to a database failure that propagated to our secondary host too. Hacked our backup to usable in a day (meeting most requirements, including transition requirements) with a path forward for total system recovery on the main system.

Documentation on any of that though, that was a .. struggle.

They need someone who hasn't already formed an opinion about the case, basically every time some high profile crime makes the national news this issue happens, especially those with a strong public response.

Top comment on the lemmy world this was cross posted with points out among other things that the app isn't a system app and doesn't otherwise have permissions to access most of what is claimed here, and from a cursory glance at the app on my phone that claim looks correct. is there something I'm missing or is this post just wrong?

You keep doing that to older DnD players too, except you drop hints that the enemies are in a cult that has been giving them power and when the wizard does fireball them, the wizard gets hit by a dozen hellish rebukes from all the young warlocks they just hit.

I think its more the first line of defense, they are not there to kill, they are there to basically state I don't want you here without provoking a lethal response from whoever is encroaching on them. It causes a lot less death of their males since they are known that they are not a threat, reducing the overall attrition of them over time and making life easier on the hive. The females with the stingers come out if something is a real threat, ie something messes with the hive or queen.

Honestly, kinda reminds me of British (and other non-militarized) police. Don't send guns to every problem as most can be solved without it and some are made worse by their presence.

First you would need to sell Americans on public transportation in general, which is a far bigger issue

Even for games only released for Windows, with proton most of them work, its games with hardware tied intrusive DRM that are most of the ones that have any issue, and honestly, I have no issue boycotting that shit

IRL letal damage is rarely immediately lethal, which is a fact not translated well into the game. The fact he went to the ER is a good sign that it very easily could have lead to death for someone without medical aid.

Also by biting the arm instead of say, the neck, is pretty clear it was a declared non-lethal attack

"Oathbreakers" are evil, by definition, "oathbreakers" are not. A oath of conquest paladin that broke their oath for good reasons, would be more suited for a oath of redemption.
