Steam forcing updates to Win 10/11 to play games - do you actually "own" games bought through Steam? in c/PCGaming@kbin.social

Win 10 has been out for 8 years now. You can't really be that shocked they want to make it a minimum requirement.

What are some of the most fun/broken low level magical items that you have had in your party? in c/dnd@lemmy.world

[–] MrPumpernickel@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I once decided to give all my players a single minor magical item at lvl 1 just to help their characters settle into their roles.

The Ranger got a quiver of elven kind (guaranteed 20 non-magical arrows per day)
The wizard got an indestructible spellbook (no need to worry about losing spells)
The monk/rogue a cloak that made it easier to conceal his identity
And the hobbit-like bard... a dagger of warning.

I thought they'd appreciate the LotR nod. Except I made a campaign of intrigue, where the baddies were hiding in plain sight. I dreaded that damn dagger. Somehow, through sheer luck, the bard immediately forgot about it after their first encounter. It never came up again.

I wonder how much blocking anon views upped the bounce rate.

[Scott Mitchell-Malm] Turns out the way to convince F1 to make space for an 11th team is 1) sign Brad Pitt 2) not be real. Simple. in c/formula1@lemmy.world

Lol from the thumbnail it almost looks like Pitt will be racing for the Rich Energy Mecedes F1 team

Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW in c/technology@lemmy.world

Advertisers don't like it, and they make up a big part of Reddit's income.

Shit, so I'm stuck seeing dozens of posts a day that just repeat the word "rule" then?

What do you feel like life will be like on earth in 100 years? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

There is a great ~20 year old song where I'm from called Plus Rien. (Translates to Nothing Left)

Maybe not in the next hundred years, but the way things are going.. this song proves more accurate every time I listen to it.

After holding out for almost 10 years, I finally got 5e books. in c/dnd@lemmy.world

Tbh it's not a bad game... People just like to complain. Especially about D&D. Everyone has their own specific (and houseruled) idea of what D&D is or should be, and as a result no version is ever good enough.

5e has plenty of good content you can have plenty of fun with.

So when will Perez get the boot? in c/formula1@lemmy.world

Exactly. Verstappen didn't leave Ricciardo in the dust when they were teammates. Admittedly, Verstappen had not yet reached his prime, but I'm still certain Ricciardo would do well in the second car.
