Or you’ll show up next time to a little thank you note and a small box with a single beer inside.
I guess you couod show up to all the wood gone, but fingers crossed!
I spent roughly 2 hours getting into geoguessing…
I did some quick and easy ones, with like obvious signs and stuff. After spending 30 minutes tracking down flight info based on the time the photo was taken, I decided I didn’t have the dedication for such things and if I couldn’t figure it out in 2 minutes based on signs and landmarks, I’m okay with not knowing the exact location a picture was taken.
Hats off to the stalker-level people who can pinpoint the specific 30ft area in a cornfield a video was taken based on time of day, the color of the dirt, a specific toad croak at 12m37s into the video, etc…
My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?
Are you in love with their CEO or something? It’s a little weird.
I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.
Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.
And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

I think people who say things like this don’t actually know any post- or even mid-transition people.

Space isn’t abundant where we are and they’re bulky.
But hey, weather is off-and-on good enough to ride, so we get to use them plenty.

Oh wait, that’s a different kind…
2·9 days agoIt’s called Dragon Storm, and it’s funny you mention friends inventing it because my family does know the only living creator. It’s been an interesting story with all the legal issues and tracking down business partners.
The game is very much modeled after D&D. It has some basic campaigns you can run, and has some general background lore.
The premise is that there’s are weird magic storms that pop up sometimes (Dragon Storms) and make some people (who have dragon blood) turn into magical creatures like werewolves, unicorns, Pegasus, as well as regular animals like wolves and horses. It’s more than those couple, but it’s been quite some time since I played and am having trouble recalling things I didn’t personally have as characters… They later added dragon-kin that are either full-blooded dragons that take humaoid forms, or descendants of dragons that banged humanoids in humanoid form. Those tend to be more powerful.
You use cards and dice to do things and have character sheets to keep track of stats.
I personally think the game is too rigid in its rules and world building, with the card aspect. I’ve had players argue with me over whether I’m allowed to alter stats of things on the cards for the narrative. I’ve had plenty of players meta-game with their memory of the cards. “Rule 3.14” is the Dragon Storm “Rule of Cool”
It was fun to play growing up, though I wish my family had also played D&D.
A ttrpg with cards and people usually bring minifigs and map grids, if not DM supplied custom maps.
I can help you out with 2 of those 3 things!
There’s a D&D-like game that I used to play that actually has education requirements to read different languages. If your background didn’t give you the trait, you had to learn from someone who knew how to read.
It made for some interesting role-playing when normally intelligent people were playing illiterate characters.
rambling about said game
There were “basic” and “high” forms of the standard language, but there was a language for most species as well as “lower” speeches that non-sentient beings could use to communicate. Each language except lower one’s had their own written language and associated trait to understand.
So if you put all your stats into STR, then you’ll be lucky to read your own language before dying of old age, as your INT modified how easy it was to learn.
Learning just entailed being with someone who has the trait and is willing to teach you, you roll and add your modifiers and after a non-specific (up to DM) amount of time, you can put some stat points to learn the trait.
And nothing of value was lost.

231·15 days agoWhy, have you not played any other Kojima games?
I mean, you’re the weirdo accepting random liquids from someone.
As former enlisted, I wonder if at any point while floating to the ground they thought to themselves “holy shit, I’m gonna die in a desert for pedophiles, why did I go along with this?”
At least one gets to think twice for now, but I doubt they will.
