Each successive Trump indictment is funnier than the last because every time he’s practically begged people to riot on his behalf at the various courthouses where his arrests occur and like five people show up every time.

In yesterday's D&D session I used my lizard familiar, placed it on my druid character's head, activated the feature to look through the familiar's eyes, and thusly gained 30ft darkvision. A poor man's Goggles of Night.

Like yeah I can generate trees from nothing but as things currently stand I gotta do that one by one whereas I would really like to just like designate an area for a bunch to just generate

I hate painting backgrounds, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned, but I think I hate manually placing trees everywhere in 3D space even more so it might be time to figure out if SpeedTree has some kind of Blender-enabled equivalent

So I was in a hotel last night because the AC broke and I’m waiting on a part to fix it. I get back home this morning and the power goes out so now the AC doesn’t matter.

I think this hotel is not for people like me, it’s next to a bunch of corporate headquarters and data centers, the lobby is a trendy bar where a bunch of tech guys are drinking top shelf liquor, and the TV knows my name.

ChatGPT seems to believe that Sora from Kingdom Hearts would be perfectly willing to ally with Tony Soprano but would draw the line at Walter White and I’m uncomfortable with the knowledge that, to an AI, the line between friend and foe lies somewhere between “murderous mob boss” and “murderous drug lord” and not well before both points.

New Futurama’s pretty funny. Billy West‘s voice ain’t what it used to be though. Fry sounds like he’s been in the future for 23 years or something.

@scribus how are you ?

My D&D group started a new campaign and the starting level is 2. I managed to be at 0HP three times within the first two sessions. The first time was a mimic (a barrel), then a quickling, and then some goblinoids with slings.
Monday, 17-Jul-23 10:16:35 UTC from web-
@scribus It's a female lizardfolk grassland druid with the name "Chamilia Moonsicle". This type of druid is not a tank. With the natural armor and a wooden shield she has 16 AC. Not bad but still too squishy for my taste.
The first down-to-zero-HP moment happened as she examined a weird barrel that happened to be a mimic-like animated creature. The next time it was a Quickling she managed to percieve (Quickling moved extremely fast) and followed a few steps out of the door, where she got stabbed 3 times with high damage rolls. Then she was hit to the head with a sling by a goblinoid savage (having little HP at the beginning of the battle didn't help either).
I didn't play unreasonable and not without caution but it was more dumb luck than anything else. -
@scribus To be totally frank: I have a long history of having many dead characters and stupid moments initiated by my dumb decisions. This time, I swear, wasn't the case.

It sounds obvious in retrospect that you should just play 0 first anyway but I wasn’t expecting them to insert much from 0 into the remakes given how closely the actual story cutscenes stick to the source material
Saturday, 15-Jul-23 14:40:57 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I started with 0 as it is basically the beginning of Kiryus story, even though it was told much later after the Yakuza 1 release. 0 has some minor spoilers for 4 and quite some references to other installments. It didn't bother me. I rather liked it because I got an 'aha' moment and understood the reference retroactively, making the scene a little bit richer and due to the backstory aspect more understandable. The problem one can see more is making the decision when to play 0. When it comes to real downgrades Yakuza games 3 is the one that aged the worst, as it didn't get the Kiwami treatment and modernizing the controls and gameplay feel. Looking back on it it has some endearing retro aspect of the PS3 era when looking past those flaws. Generally starting with Kiwami 1 isn't bad either gameplay-wise, as the other games feel much more open and there are more areas besides Kamurocho.

I was advised by a friend to not play Yakuza 0 first if I’m planning to go through the rest of the series because the gameplay in Kiwami is a serious downgrade from that, and the plot points in 0 don’t matter until like 6, but Majima is repeatedly referring to stuff that happened in 0 every time I see him so I’m starting to think I actually should have played that first. Will probably play that before Kiwami 2.

Starfield will be Bethesda Game Studios’ first game since 1999 to be released without any involvement from Donald Trump or his business entities. No, this is not a joke.

Not that I think this is a bad thing, but I got whiplash upon learning that Kiryu, a Japanese man in 2005 approaching middle age who in the lead-up to Yakuza has been in prison since the 90s, and before that having been in a criminal syndicate since the 80s, is not homophobic, and is perfectly pleasant and even supportive of his cabaret date upon learning she’s a lesbian.

@zeldatra Kazuma Kiryu is the most based and good-hearted yakuza who uses violent methods. There is a sub story in 3 where he meets a trans woman https://i.redd.it/339rcr2v8nm61.jpg

OK well Moho keeps basic, fundamental necessities like "manipulating bezier handles" behind their $400 edition so I think they can mango themselves just on principle alone

@adiwan Like, I can get that over the scope of a 3D or even 2D "world" that the *absolute* position of a player character's sword swing is much less relevant than the (...well...) /relative/ position of the sword to the character. God, I wish it could just snap, or use guidelines, or snap to guidelines, or *any* kind of precision that's been available in draw programs since at least 1995. Ugh :shiver: I can't abide loosey-goosey, nosiree, not in this context at least. :p
