What's a TV show you think you're the only one who remembers?

@jw @tencenttakes "Inspired by" is more accurate for managing expectations.

Long after the Wendish people were defeated by the invading Germans, there were legends of a secret king living among them.

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore The secret king. Almost better than the returning king.

Conspiracy theory time.

(This is mostly in jest. Mostly.)

Phones, even when "turned off" are still active and can still do things. The fact that modern phones don't have removable batteries is so that the surveillance state (whether formal or capitalists) will always have an in on you.

@zdl Which part of that is conspiracy?

    The latest episode of the is all about Adapting Someone Else's Sandbox, where @ayvalentine and @boymonster discuss the challenges and triumphs of producing licensed RPGs! https://genesisoflegend.podbean.com/e/episode-371-adapting-someone-elses-sandbox/

    @genesisoflegend @621393 Loved the content. Highlighted a few things about licensing that didn't even occur to me. I'm hoping someone legalwise figures out a way to help designers keep out of license products available in some form.

    Pity about the audio quality. I wonder if running it through Adobe Podcast would help with the whooshes? (https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance)

    @Scio @Nariom Modiphius put out very good products. Star Trek Adventures is the best Star Trek rpg created. 2d20 mechanic is flexible. Momentum is marmite, I happen to love it, but metacurrency is a mindset. Infinity is 2d20 with the crunch dialled up. Dishonored blew my mind where they jiggle it so that intent is stats.

    All aside, they do licences thoroughly and wth respect. GURPS Discworld plays it straight. A One In A Million Chance At Adventure goes Noir Mystery. They're testing their take.

    @kyonshi Seems that attempting to make Forever D&D may result in Last D&D.
    Is it a bad idea as a business model though, locking the veteran rule-set? Seems to have worked for Monopoly.

    Today's moment:

    "I cast Featherfall."
    "You are not a spellcaster."
    "FEATHERFALL!"
    "That's not..."
    "See? Works every time."
    "That's because we keep catching you."

    @TarkabarkaHolgy The magic isn't casting the spell, but willing the desired effect, without Paradox. Very Mage.

    Government agencies are many things, both good and bad - and one of the things they also are is the institutional memory of society.

    Often, it gets a start with some crisis in the past. "There's a fire/a flood/an earthquake/untreated sewage overfilling the city. How do we deal with it?"

    Then, after the initial crisis is over, some sort of government agency is formed to deal with this kind of crisis and either be more effective at fighting it, or preventing it from occurring in the first place.

    Sometimes the kind of crises that triggered the creation of the agency no longer occur. Often, the agency will take on all sorts of other jobs to expand its mission and grab more power.

    But often, the agency just quietly continues to do its work and the type of crisis they are fighting vanishes from the public eye until people question why they ever needed that government agency in the first place.

    Which brings me to my usual rant of "people don't respect how complex civilization actually is..."

    @juergen_hubert I like to extend that thinking to culture myself... less directed, more emergent.

    Speaking of childhood food memories, is cinnamon sugar just a (US) Midwest thing? My mom would combine cinnamon and sugar and put it on toast for me when I was little.

    Miyagiyoda,
    @Miyagiyoda@dice.camp avatar

    @montecook South Africa... cinnamon sugar is a staple on pancakes (the thin plate-sized kind), sago pudding, rice pudding, donuts, and melkkos (rolled-dough strips or cuttings, or macaroni cooked in milk).

    A timely and rather shocking meme, to which I have added ...

    Miyagiyoda,
    @Miyagiyoda@dice.camp avatar

    @breadandcircuses "Those early results point to the first week of July being the hottest since modern instruments began measuring global temperatures. It follows record high temperatures in June, which were 0.5 degrees C above the 1991 through 2020 average."
    So hottest since global averaging using modern instruments... which could be anything from 1976 - 1991. I can believe that since 1940 was the last coldest time, albeit with fewer and less accurate data points worldwide and in oceans.

    Marching on the capital in a blitzkrieg to frighten away the nation's leadership didn't work in Kyiv, but Prigozhin seems to think he can pull it off in Moscow.

    Miyagiyoda,
    @Miyagiyoda@dice.camp avatar

    @kevinrothrock I'm not convinced Putin isn't prepared to do a tactical strike on them. Nuking foreign countries is a diplomatic disaster. An insurrection? A mere human rights violation.

    Good morning to readers; Moscow remains in Putin’s hands.

    For now.

    The Wagner Group has seized territory in Russia and is trying to remove the nation’s military leadership from power.

    The UK assesses that the mercenaries are trying to get to Moscow.

    Miyagiyoda,
    @Miyagiyoda@dice.camp avatar

    @timkmak Kyiv wasn't the end goal. Russia expected a surrender and cession of its true goals which did fall immediately. Everything else is negotiation leverage. It's all outlined in the accord Ukraine backed out of with encouragement from its allies.

    Hey / fans, I need your help with naming again! I've almost finished writing a Discworld D&D 5E campaign. What would you name the campaign?!

    Players will act as new(ish) recruits into the city watch, solving a shadowy mystery in Ankh Morpork and beyond! Obvs can't give too many details as I don't want to give potential spoilers 😬

    Look at @gruber defending , one of the worst tech companies on the planet.

    A company that’s responsible for Cambridge Analytica, a genocide in Myanmar, and PTSD in thousands of African content moderators—and this is just what has been documented.

    @kunev @atomicpoet @kikobar @gruber You make it sound like its hard to mute an instance you don't like.

    Miyagiyoda,
    @Miyagiyoda@dice.camp avatar

    @kikobar @kunev @atomicpoet @gruber I have no idea why you would want to defederate anything. Even though you find an instance distasteful, it is better that they exist where they can be watched and, more important, can see content with an alternate view. Wost case you never interact with them becasue of muting. Best case hapless newbies have a chance to realise that there is something else out there in the 'verse for them to move to.
