Hello everyone! I don't have much experience, but one thing I learned while playing Troika! with my friends is that the more I prep the more forced the game will feel (at least to me). I think it has to do in part with the fact that I will more or less voluntarily try to steer players towards content I prepared (it's some kind of sunk-cost fallacy I think) and in part with me kind of knowing what to expect, making the game less enjoyable to DM. The best sessions have been the ones where I had two or three ideas and winged it, building upon what the players did or said and generally improvising. The biggest con to this approach is that it's hard to keep everything consistent and I'm constantly afraid of contradicting stuff I said before or just plain forgetting it. I want to start taking notes, but I'm also afraid of being distracted from the players while I jot down stuff. So I ask you what are your tips for a more immediate, "plug and play" style of playing. I'm not too interested in having a balanced game or telling intricate overarching plots, and I enjoy strange situations that require creative thinking the most (plus cool worlds and creatures/NPCs). I would love to find a way to start playing out of the blue like one does with boardgames (well, the casual ones everyone plays)

Quali potrebbero essere le conseguenze concrete sul cittadino?

Personalmente sono d’accordo con il punire chi lucra sulla ricondivisione di contenuti altrui, ma trovo non solo tollerabile ma forse addirittura giusta la condivisione fra utenti di una community a titolo gratuito e spesso (quasi sempre) in perdita.

Aldilà della questione pirateria in sé, la preoccupazione di molti è che questa legge apra le porte alla creazione di un “firewall di stato” con cui impedire l’accesso a determinati siti (anche e soprattutto in vista del limite di 30 minuti entro cui bloccare il sito dal momento della segnalazione in “casi urgenti”, che pare fatto apposta per essere abusato).

Inoltre molti siti che riportano la notizia, nonché i politici e le figure di spicco che ne parlano, pongono l’accento sulle partite di calcio ritrasmesse illegalmente, e personalmente non sarei così sorpreso se di fatto venisse applicata per lo più in quell’ambito.

Io nel dubbio penso che lascerò cento euro annuali o quel che è ad una buona VPN fuori dall’UE

I usually download from libgen and read on Panels on my iPad, but often issues of the same series use different naming conventions and they all get mixed up. Is there any way to semi-automatically rename and organize comics?

Rats don't live long, the first result on Google says that they live 2-4 years on average and the longest living rat in captivity lived to be 7 years old.

I like to think that after the rat's death everyone will treasure the good memories and start another restaurant of their own. But it's more likely that they'll be depressed and miserable for the rest of their lives without being able to tell anyone their story.

I do, most of the time. I've always felt creative, I always have thousands of ideas and concepts for anything, be it a drawing, a song or a text of any kind, but regardless of what it is, anytime I sit down and try to make something I hate it, I hate it so deeply it disgusts me and kills any will to continue whatever it is I'm doing.

I tried to write some lyrics some days ago, it felt okay-ish until I wnt back and read it, at which point it feelt as if I was seeing someone else in the mirror: all the things, the ideas, the feelings I thought I put in it just aren't there. It feels hollow, alien, repulsive.

I know I can't be good as a beginner, but I've been a beginner in everything since I was a kid. And I kept trying and trying and trying, and every time I felt that feeling of disgust and repulsion, outrage even. I just can't stand it anymore, and maybe "art", or rather artistic self-expression, isn't my thing? Maybe I keep trying to open a door that simply isn't the one I'm supposed to open?

Did you ever feel this way and overcame it? I don't even care about making whatever I make public, I just want to feel as if I gave shape to something I thought or felt.

I'm new and r/osr and r/Troika are two of the communities I'm missing the most. Is anybody here?
