I've been browsing older Forgotten Realms sourcebooks and the love that the authors put into those is amazing. It hurts to see D&D and the worlds I grew up loving destroyed by a soulless entity that cares only about profit.

Yeah, my partner really likes the art but we're both aware that MtG was just the real world precursor to the current micro-transaction culture.

Ah yes. Hasbro, whose executives are raking in millions, have just laid off 1100 people two weeks before Christmas because "they gotta get leaner."

Hasbro, who tried to renege on the OGL.

Unsurprising. A shame they own D&D.

Never was there a more appropriately named CEO.

Yes, they offered that up to us too. We might just have to migrate off of Proton and onto Tuta.

Except that's not true. Somehow, 23andme missed the almost certainly anomalous activity on thier network that lead to the extraction of 6.9 million users' data. Missing the activity associated with the massive data dump, designing thier system to allow for that? 100% thier fault.

One should not be able to use a set of hacked accounts to dump that much data. That's a design flaw.

Tried a couple but I'll swap to a diff exit city in the AM. I don't use them much so I likely never noticed.
