When I hear people say in that they like to make up the character’s backstory and personality as they play rather than beforehand or at a session 0, I think they must have players that are far better at improv than the ones I play with.

In my experience, if a character doesn’t have a backstory at the beginning, they never will have one.

@SJohnRoss our play wouldn’t be impossible without backstories pre-determined. The problem is that then when given an adventure hook, rather than the player finding a reason why their character would engage, they will sometimes just check out because “their character isn’t really interested in that” but this was never communicated to the DM (because no backstory, duh).

You can either give me hooks you will be interested in, or you have to find a way to be interested in what I give.

@jendefer @SJohnRoss what you said as a middle ground is still a backstory and something to work off of as opposed to a blank slate like I hear many people prefer.

So I’m trying to make a move to Lemmy from Reddit. I’ve learned that it’s best to search for communities by going to Lemmy.directory and searching there, then doing this complicated bit to search for and add it in my actual instance… inconvenient… but I don’t mind if it means getting away from Reddit.

But… Lemmy.directory is giving a bad gateway error. Is the site just temporarily down? Or is there a new instance I should go to for this?

@Kokirimuscle@woof.group avatar

Well, we have a trip to Seattle booked. Planning to drive around the Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia area looking for neighborhoods we wouldn’t mind getting an apartment in. Maybe even drive out to Ellensburg/Yakima.

@Kokirimuscle@woof.group avatar

@ThirstyGayGeek hopefully anyway. We need a neighborhood that’s cheap and won’t attack us for being gay and for my husband being brown. We are homebodies so the only reason to live near a city is really just so the politics are friendlier, not for access to bars or restaurants or anything like that.

One day I might try using stable diffusion to turn myself into a ttrpg character. What class/race should I be? Pathfinder2e preferred… but I’ll tolerate that other system too.

Cars are a blight. But even more are large vehicles. They are a danger to pedestrians and people in other vehicles, cause more damage when involved in an accident, block visibility for both pedestrians and other vehicles, and cause a heavier strain on the environment.

All this could be understood if the large vehicle was necessary. But all too often you see a single driver, or a parent and 2-3 kids. You don’t need an SUV to haul 3 kids around the city/suburbs.

Anyone know Minnesota? As in, areas that might be nice and cheap (relative to like, SoCal) to live in?

Remember how in the early days of Wikipedia, teachers drilled into your head that “Wikipedia is not a reliable source!”

And remember how the good teachers taught you how you can use Wikipedia as the starting point for the real research rather than pretending like it doesn’t exist?

The same standard needs to be used with AI.

Why hasn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene been arrested for revenge porn? Not only did she show nude photos of people without the consent of those people, she showed it in Congress, on live television, essentially distributing it to countless people - potentially (likely) including minors.

She’s a felon in an open and shut case.

Wish us luck finding an apartment near next week

City proper will be too expensive for sure, but hoping when we visit we find something in , , , or even .

My goal is a 1-bed for less than $1300.

How do I force myself to do leg day? The thought of doing it depresses me and makes me want to give up working out entirely. I don’t enjoy any aspect of it and skip a lot. I want to like it. I want nice legs. Back when I was forcing myself to do it, it made me dread the workout beforehand, made me feel like I was dying during it, and would take me so long to recover between sets to do the next one that it just took way too much time, depressing me even further?

Tech support tip: don’t use hyperbole in your description of the problem or what you’ve tried.

Saying “the screen just loads forever” is different than “the screen loads for 2-3 minutes, then goes blank”. Saying “every time I click the button, the app crashes” is different from “75% of the time I click the button, the app crashes”

The different behavior can have different causes and different solutions. Be precise and don’t exaggerate to make it seem like it’s “more important”

Healthcare needs to be nationalized in the US.

That includes hospitals, drug manufacturers, research facilities and teaching institutions.

Before claiming that “government run is inefficient” I point you at the USPS. A government entity that has been actively stifled by politicians for decades in attempts to privatize, and will still ship to places even ups and fed ex won’t, all for no tax dollars, just the cost of postage.

Bicep work. Videos are a pain to upload… is there a non-subscription iOS mastodon app that can convert/compress videos automatically when uploading?

Kokirimuscle, to Zelda
@Kokirimuscle@woof.group avatar

Every time I see Tears of the Kingdom praised as a masterpiece, I become that much more certain the Zelda IP is no longer for me. And that I may not have a reason to buy Nintendo consoles anymore. And that I’m glad I never got a Zelda tattoo. And that I may need to change my username.

It’s a reminder that I need to make sure not to wrap my “identity” into IPs.

Confessed opinions:

Mmmbop by Hanson is a fun song.

Nickelback is alright and doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.

Comic Sans is an easy font to look at and also doesn’t deserve the hate.

Why is it that liberals are telling us if Republicans get the White House or even the slimmest of majorities in Congress that all hell will break lose and the country will be ruined, but Democrats having the White House and the slimmest of majorities (or under Obama’s first two years, a pretty solid majority), means they can’t really do anything and we need to keep voting harder for change?

Capitalism requires scarcity to function. Where scarcity doesn’t exist, capitalists will create it.

We will never live in a post-scarcity world under capitalism because capitalists will use whatever means necessary to prevent it.

They will buy up housing so they can charge rent, they will lock features you used to get as part of product ownership behind subscriptions, they will lobby to prevent newcomers from offering sustainable alternatives.

Haircut done. Courtesy of my husband. But gay powers not restored, because my gayness isn’t stored in my hairstyle so my powers never left.
