I’m reading the Cradle series by Will Wight. Some great progression fantasy, currently on book 5, Ghostlight.

It’s a safety procedure: if equipment is faulty, you lock the controls with a special device to render it unusable until it is serviced, and a tag accompanies the lock to show when the service call was placed. If locking is impossible, just the tag will suffice.
Is this corner to corner? How is it working with that? I’ve never tried it.

I gotta start using that!
I love what you said about believing in agency: knowing what power is ultimately in our hands would change the world for the better.
German politics and energy consumption aside, I think they have the best base of knowledge for what your proposed economic model has in store for them and their allies. They had that model forced upon them, and fought for change and economic freedom. There was a freaking wall dividing their country over that.
Don’t shitpost on good discussion please.
Very similar experience in 2012ish, definitely had a rough time of it. That’s when I learned I have a deadly allergy to penicillin.
This is a top tier meme format for music communities. Making me need to dive into more game OSTs.
If anyone is on the hunt for good ones, Brad Derrick did some incredible work for Elder Scrolls Online. It’s all fantasy sounds, but an excellent source of ambience for the TTRPG player. A two album set for the base game, and an album for each expansion. It’s some 10 hours of solid work!
Not sure I’m going to support it when there all plenty of decent free third party apps. Been using Jerboa since I made the switch, and have enjoyed the interface quite a bit.
I just can’t get behind the idea of paying for the ad free experience. Still support the developer, but it better not be like Sync’s $20.
Ah yes, I too value the mastery of the Thu’um in my partner.
I’d love to be a gatekeeper saying “we’re already full, turn back around”, but I’m a CA transplant myself. Personally, I’m looking to leave myself: too cold most of the year, and it’s getting really $$$. YMMV
Yes! I love my work, even though most people hate retail. I’m in a grocery store deli, and getting people food they like and them coming back saying I offered good recommendations just makes my day!
I’m the manager, and even I still struggle a bit with money at times, all the while trying to save for a house. Not easy out here, but certainly wouldn’t want to stop working.
Ah, so even the “landed gentry” made the migration… /s
That anxiety bit is too true, it has me fairly despondent when I think about it too long. It’s fair assertion you make, for sure.
Nah, existential is spot on
Relating to existence
Seems all too apropos in this context.
Thanks for the solid source! I do understand the need for keeping the discussion real, but the article clearly states,
…concluded that to avert catastrophic health impacts and prevent millions of climate change-related deaths…
Sounds pretty existential to me, at a scale we have never experienced.
While your numbers, if factual (no source posted), are statistically correct (in that it won’t make our species go extinct), you have to remember a simple fact: those numbers represent individual human lives. Family, friends, neighbors, your pizza guy, etc. Pretty brutal to be so flippant about.
Also, this doesn’t take into account the potential for cascading environmental system failures that could be caused by such warming. These unknowns could greatly change the equation.
I realize you are mainly arguing the point in response to “existential threats” being bandied about, but it’s a weird stance to take here.
Sad to say, the dragon fights are the same the whole time. Not too much thought went into the combat AI in Skyrim, sort of a side thought compared to everything else they cobbled together.
Easily one of my favorite games, but could have been a lot more (especially considering everything that’s come out since then)
All of this is to say, there are many a good mod that changes these types of issues, so YMMV in the realm of replay value.
Good to see some Tennesse Ernie Ford still floating around!
YES! Such a good read!
