I thought we knew the earth to be banana shaped.

Thanks for the update.

Same. I always wondered what happened.

Are instances changing names that often? Hexbear is the only one I have heard of and iirc that was only temporary.

Yeah it was a bit confusing, but once you understood it, it was easy enough.

If your thac0 is 15, and your opponent is ac5, you need to roll a 10 to hit. If they are ac-5 you need a 20.

I first played ad&d around '87 when I was 10ish. Did not play it much, but picked up some other games, Palladium games almost exclusively (Robotech, Rifts, Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness, and Palladium Fantasy), their books were cheaper, and you needed less of them. Later on we added WEG’s Star Wars d6.

It was not until '95 in college that I really played ad&d again. Then again over a decade later. But between the two there were so many other games I played. White Wolf’s Werewolf, Mage, and Vampire being the most played.

I opened a game store in '18 and a year later I decided it was finally time to try out 5e, which I was not really looking forward to. I did not like 3rd, I skipped 3.5 and 4th totally. But 5e felt like 2nd but with better rule systems and more inclusion.

I have since shelved 5e for Pathfinder 2E. And getting ready to start Starfinder.

I like that trailer. I do not haul stuff with my bike, mostly because my dog travels with me 99% of the time and I do not have a great way to haul her with me too. She is 8 1/2 and not as quick as she used to be.

I have been looking at building my own trailer like the one in the image I quoted so she can ride in it, or run as she feels fit to do.

Unsure about in Voyager specifically, but if you log in via the web interface it is in your settings.

@cannedtuna@lemmy.world is the author of everything that follows:

This is a very well written an thorough article and I highly recommend reading it. If you don’t want to however, here is a summary of the key points:

• Brendan Eich’s anti-LGBTQ+ political involvement

• • Brendan Eich donated to anti-LGBT political organizations, politicians, and initiatives such as CA Prop 8 which banned same-sex marriages.

• 2016 — Brave Browser promises to replace webpage ads

• • Brave promised to replace ads with privacy friendly ads that would actually pay publishers and even users with a volatile cryptocurrency while keeping a cut for themselves. This never actually came to life and was criticized as “blatantly illegal”.

• 2018 — Brave runs a questionable donation campaign

• • Brave collected donations for popular content creators without actually involving or seeking consent from said creators. In short they accepted donations in crypto for creators, but would only pay out if it reached a minimum value of $100. When called out, Brave said refunds were impossible.

• 2020 — Brave injects referral links when visiting crypto wallets

• • Brave injected their own referral links for services such as Binance without informing users or asking permission.

• 2020 — Brave puts ads in user’s home screens

• • Brave turned their home screen image rotator into a place to serve ads, many of which were suspicious or crypto related.

• 2021 - Brave ships an insecure Tor feature

• • Brave added a Tor feature which exposed users DNS requests

• 2023 - Brave hides their crawlers to websites

• • Brave refuses to disclose their crawler bot to websites since many websites want to block Brave Search. Brave will only chose not to crawl a website if it also blocks Google’s crawler.

• 2024 - So-called “privacy browser” deprecated advanced fingerprinting protection

• • Brave removed a the Strict, Block Fingerprinting privacy feature from their browser.

• And More!

• • Brave paid for targeted ads for users searching for Firefox in the Play Store and ran a campaign to “Forget the Fox”. When called out on this the VP publicly denied it and claimed it was photo-shopped.
• • The VP of Brave, Luke Mulks, frequently posts about all things crypto, from NFTs to FTX, and uses AI-gen images to promote them. He also frequently re-tweets right-wing activists.
• • Brendan Eich’s feed also frequently contains right-wing content and Republican propaganda despite his claims to be “independent”.
