Even if you get past the technical reasons of why this won’t work well, artistically, your avatar will clash with any game that’s not targeting these avatars.

You would think so, but my Mii fits in perfectly.

(Uh, hopefully it’s obvious that I’m bullshitting. I can’t believe how stupid Mii looked in various Nintendo games. It takes a special kind of leadership at Netflix not to have learned from Nintendo’s… experience.)

But they’re too late! I’m too entrenched in the Nintendo ecosystem, with my perfectly formed Mii that I demand to play as in a variety of games.

If only they had thought of this sooner!

My favorite DropOut show is “Play it by Ear”.

There’s not enough of it yet, but I re-listen to old episodes of their “Off Book: The Improvised Musical Podcast” to tide me over between seasons.

If I had to pick a favorite episode, it would still be from the Podcast, but the show keeps getting better.

Obviously Game changer is the best game show on any network. The latest surprise season bonus finale is my current favorite, followed by the other escape room episodes and of course “Yes or No”.

By total hours, I guess Dimension 20 is my favorite.

A tip for the D20 curious: start with more recent series, or one of the self contained live shows.

I think my favourite D20 is now tied between Never Stop Blowing Up and Mentopolis. Cloudward Ho is working for me, as well.

Um Actually, Dirty Laundry and Gastronauts deserve a shout out for helping get me through doing the dishes and laundry.

I forget sometimes that there isn’t anyone else really doing Um Actually with real nerd cred (that I have found. Recommendations welcome). I feel spoiled by it.

Gastronauts feels like it could become my favorite cooking show, once they dial in their unique balance of silliness and earnest food appreciation.

I wish Smarty Pants seasons were a bit more frequent. It’s such a nice showcase to discover new comedians.

I’ve always liked the idea of the cap being an immediate loss of any legal property protection.

This would not be through any process, they simply instantly legally cease to have any property rights anytime they cannot prove their net worth is below the limit.

Any member of the public can reclaim any piexe of their ex-property, until the not-quite-billiomaire gets a court ruling confirming their not-a-billionaire status.

Then the not-yet-billionaires can figure out how to constantly stay comfortably below the limit.

Or…they can file an updated wealth disclosure every time they attempt to keep anyone from walking away with any piece of their former property.

If they want to avoid the inconvenience of their yachts, cars, pets, plants, fences, lamps, and television sets being repossessed, they can negotiate with their employees unions for collective ownership in good faith, instead.

It’ll be fun to see how many of them are too stupid to take a good deal, and lose their stupid toys.

Yes. I assume it is the brains way of preventing wetting the bed when needing to pee while too tired to awaken.

But the dream where all our teeth fall out - I assume that is our brain trying reconcile how we only get two sets - which is some bullshit.

The answer is 2.

Cling to known humans who write their own code.

Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.

Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.

But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.

Isn’t project Gutenberg just for older classic books(not that there’s anything wrong with that)?

Oh, yes. I’m most cases, really old books.

I used to always use Minecraft for this. Sure, they can’t do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.

I say “used to” because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.

(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that’s all one needs to know.)

Nice. Minecraft used to be my go to answer for a first WASD game, too.

Lately, I recommend Mineclonia on Luanti, because it’s free and has stronger optimizations supporting weak laptops and big multiplayer servers. (It’s a popular Free Open Source Minecraft Clone).

Where do you get books for the Kindle if not at Amazon?

• BAEN sells eBooks directly.
• Libby has various options to check out eBooks from local libraries.
• Project Gutenberg has free and DRM free eBooks for most books in the public domain. A huge number of classics are available this way.

When I look for a specific book, I usually find that simply searching for "BOOK NAME purchase DRM free” results in plenty of results.

Sadly, I find it dramatically easier to find a free DRM free copy of most eBooks than to find somewhere to legally purchase a paid licensed DRM-free copy.

As a flawless upstanding citizen, I never partake of such amazing convenience, myself, of course.

Are you suggesting that our total and complete lack of health and safety standards and really even a modicum of self respect - hurts our international product sales? How could that possibly be?

As an American, I was taught that maximizing quarterly profits will solve all of my problems, so I have no framework to use this idea, and so I will ignore it.

P.s. Help welcome. Some of us realize we’re disgusting. Discussing here probably does help. Thank you.

Thank you! You’re doing Lliira’s work!

Thank goodness. We didn’t have enough Stars Wars, yet.

Nothing anotger fireball won’t solve…

the low rollers having been filtered out by dart traps, lucky kobolds, etc.

True. That’s mage survivor bias, right there.

A manufacturer phone pre-installed with LineageOS would be awesome.

So the first few are classic math definitions for 0, 1, and 2.

After that I got bored.

When I put text on an image, I set a stong contrasting text border color (like black) to make it readable.

It would help greatly here.
