Kind of curious what tech people own, everything from small to big tech. Assuming solarpanels are a given for a lot of peeps here, or maybe will be in the future. But what other tech do you own that you're happy with?
I have a pocket-sized solar panel I bought intending to charge my phone on the go. When it arrived and I tried it out I remembered that I live in bloody Auckland, New Zealand, where we've never actually seen the sun, so that was a bust.
I tried durian pancakes at an Asian market once, and didn't see what all the fuss was about. It tasted kinda coconut-y and onion-y, but not enough to be a big deal.
Ten minutes later I burped and realised I had made a terrible mistaking eating those things.
Hi, my name is Khan and I am the person behind Devabhumi. I am of Indian origin, and I have always been interested in non-European rpg settings. There is such a treasure trove of untapped stories, monsters, and legends in Indian Culture, which can provide fresh and unique content for your campaigns. Devabhumi is a high fantasy...
Looks like that link doesn't go external. It might need to be edited.
Sounds like an interesting project. Can you give us more detail? What are the new races? What effect does the karma mechanic have? Will dungeon delving be your game loop?
My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole....
I'd be more likely to listen to AC/DC without Brian Johnson. He hasn't done anything wrong (that I know of) and he's a talented vocalist, but that rasping voice of his makes me wince every time I hear it. Does he gargle glass shards?
That's not a tantrum, that's your fingertips thinking "hmmm, we've been wet for a while... I'd better increase my surface area for better grip so I can execute a sweet hip throw on the next attacker I encounter." Your body wants to develop its innate kung fu potential!
This is in Oregon and there is a hot springs nearby. It’s worth seeing but for a better time check out the French Glen Hotel and Malhuer wildlife refuge....
I've never read FATAL, but I've read plenty about it. And I'm glad it exists, because it makes every other RPG better just by virtue of not being FATAL.
I keep reading articles about quantum physics in the hope that some day I'll spot some kind of pattern that turns out to be the key to understanding it. No luck yet.
I had a boss who used to say the same thing. He was telling us "We didn't set this dumpster on fire, but somehow it's our job to handle it. No point bitching, so roll your sleeves up and get to it." I've started saying the same thing for the same reason.
You do it every day whether you choose to or not, because that's how the human brain works. So yes. Just be willing to change your ideas when a generalisation is no longer useful.
It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave....

Damn, getting some hate for this post. Thanks, I guess. Lemme rephrase this post title, since this is the part I was curious about in the beginning anyway til everyone fixated on the "tion" and ignored the original ask altogether.
Mint for gaming, because it's nice to have a rock-solid OS that doesn't need much beyond updates in terms of maintenance. Arch for hobby tinkering, because voiding warranties is fun.
I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?
The videogame industry has been lurching from crisis to crisis for as long as I've been paying attention. I'm starting to think that's their business model.
I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...
In this thread: a lot of confused vegans refusing to acknowledge the behaviour of other vegans and explaining why non-vegans' experiences with them are wrong.
There's a new classics station in my city, playing music from the 90s, 00s and 10s. I've been listening to it almost exclusively. Based on that I'm going to say it wasn't, but we've forgotten about the stuff we didn't like.

They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons.
