I considered sharing my own choices that led to lost money, while still more profitable than OpenAI...but there are just too many.

Edit: Here's one - that time Homer Simpson bought a mint condition copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, and then ate it - was still more profitable than OpenAI.

Compensation will be competitive and commensurate with experience. You will be engaged as an independent contractor.

That's some Decepticon bullshit.

You want real applicants? Add a salary range.

With much love for all you all do!

From one of the folks you were hoping to talk to.

Well shoot. I need to get to watching. That is delightful!

Devotion to agnosticism is beautiful.

To me, it means I will passionately defend another person's right to remain "undecided" on all things spiritual.

It can be surprisingly effective in some circles.

Do you need a specific game mechanic for that?

Not really, I suppose. But having it explicit can help players realize they have the option.

"Concede" is also handy for situations where a player feels that their character winning this particular battle would be out of character.

It's a particularly helpful rule for cases where the player wants their character to do something particularly foolish, maybe to reach a specific story outcome, but still wants some influence on the final outcome.

It can go along the lines of:

Player: My character doesn't have the brains to not start this fight, but even if we roll lucky and win this, it would feel broken. Can I roll an attack and then immediately concede?

GM: Sure. What would that look like?

Player: What if my character is disarmed somehow?

Etc.

I've seen where a few outcomes get discussed, and if the group doesn't have a strong favorite, we just ranked them in order of luck, and then determined the full encounter with a quick single roll.

Now if you want REALLY MESSED UP stuff,

I'll see your alternate timeline and raise you the canon timeline where Paris and Janeway abandon their salamander babies.

Hang on, I'm seeing a pattern, here...

Fuck yeah, it does!

Pandora’s box is open and will never close again.

Yes...but this Pandora's box just had a fart in it.

We know we can't put the fart back in the box.

We just want people to stop acting like it is about to revolutionize modern cinema.

All it is going to do is clear the room.

Even if you get past the technical reasons of why this won’t work well, artistically, your avatar will clash with any game that’s not targeting these avatars.

You would think so, but my Mii fits in perfectly.

(Uh, hopefully it's obvious that I'm bullshitting. I can't believe how stupid Mii looked in various Nintendo games. It takes a special kind of leadership at Netflix not to have learned from Nintendo's... experience.)

[–] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 4 points 3 months ago

But they're too late! I'm too entrenched in the Nintendo ecosystem, with my perfectly formed Mii that I demand to play as in a variety of games.

If only they had thought of this sooner!

Ohhhh... It took me (checks post age) seven hours to get it.

Hmmm. I need to buy myself some "new item!" stickers to put on random things.

 

I updated the closet under my stairs again today.

It's too small to be terribly useful, and my house is old enough to need frequent repairs.

So the under stairs closet is for tool storage.

Today I added wall hooks to keep my tool bags off the floor.

I'm trying to convince myself this will magically make me turn the corner and keep this closet responsibly organized. I'm failing.

But not having to bend down too far to pick up my tool bag should be nice.
