I’ve been really impressed with how quickly Connect has shaped up after the whole influx of new users.

Most places that have HR like this work their employees too hard for them to have time to use a ping pong table anyway, so it’s really just a hollow gesture.

A bold move, cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

I definitely got so wrapped up in searching for images for my game that I didn’t think until afterwards about the fact that I was searching for “children prisoner sweatshop.”

Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I’ve ever seen.

what are .webp files and why has my online experience been plagued by them?

I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with....

The terminology is sticking around longer than the format, too! Love me some (webm/H265) gifs.

It makes the X go faster, everyone knows that.

Woot woot fellow Minnesotan!

I don’t think I’m familiar with that, but I’d like to be.

I feel like that will even itself out in time. With a huge influx of Redditors, comparing the services is going to be a hot topic for awhile. The communities need to settle and the people who will stay will stay. Over time, it’ll be less self-referential and more original content I think.

It’s not a perfect clone, but it definitely eases the transition. I gave it a try and found it quite usable.

Yeah I’m waiting for Boost and Sync to become available, but I gotta say that Connect has shaped up real nice a lot faster than I would’ve expected. Who knows, I might end up sticking with it.

That first game was rough around the edges, but so so good.

The whole Tome of Beasts series is pretty great, including the Creature Codex. Some of them are a bit too “out there” for me to use in my particular game, but I’d rather have that than another reskinned goblin.

I think you can be forgiven for forgetting about TMP.

I know I try to.

At the moment, I’m guessing gif support depends on the individual client app, probably? On Connect it shows up as a link, which opens the gif rather than it being embedded.

For me personally, and the app experience I’m accustomed to, Connect and wefwef are the current jam.

The Internet really is trying to delete itself.

Yeah, slsk is home to some very esoteric stuff and the people who like it. It’s still one of my go-to sources for music, because usually it’s not hard to find something with good naming and metadata.

What's your favorite moment from your most recent session?

I’ll start. My players were fighting some Lizard Folk that had camped out in front of the tomb they were trying to get in and they for once used some strategy! The Paladin used her bag of tricks to summon a Baboon to distract the Lizards while the party snuck up the hill and hid in some tall grass. after the Lizard folk...

My players just had a meeting with a dragonborn crime lord. Before they met the boss, they were led in by an elf who was sort of the majordomo for the establishment.

Two “seasons” ago, the barbarian picked up a little figurine of an elvish soldier made out of pewter. It was absolutely just the product of a random trinkets roll table, and she’s been carrying it ever since.

She decided that she was convinced that it looked uncannily like the elf who brought them in, and at the end of this tense meeting with someone who, by all accounts, is a dangerous and powerful person in the city, she slides the figurine across the table to him. “I think we both know who this looks like. Give it to them, won’t you?”

She’s a pretty new player, and I love the kind of non sequitur stuff that she comes up with in RP situations.

It's fun. Don't expect anything extraordinary and you won't be disappointed.

Some of the plans they hatch really feel like the wacky stuff players come up with.

IanM32,
@IanM32@lemmy.world avatar

Whatever the number, I’ve definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I’m really glad to see more people joining and taking part.

I'm keeping my account live so that I can still interact and ask questions in threads when I get taken there by search results. Reddit ultimately shows up a lot when looking for solutions to technical problems.

As far as browsing and contributing, I think I'm sticking with Lemmy. Things are just starting to get good.

I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.
