So the first two Bard's Tale games have the power of the bard songs based on the level of the zone you're in. So by the end of the second game I was getting like, a bonus of 5 to everyone's AC. Fairly significant in a D20-based system.

It’s less “wow I had no idea” and more “oh my god he admit it” really
I know this is a big revelation but on some level the claim that Trump didn’t know is so completely absurd (“a secret is a wonderful thing”) that it doesn’t feel like a revelation at all.
Whoaaaaa

It’s not a bug, babies simply are seeing beyond the veil until their mental defenses fully develop and they are no longer able to detect the presence of the Old Ones.

I have never smoked once in my life and I still can’t help but wonder if it would make me cooler.

Even though I have developed more of an appreciation for Old RPG Bullshit of late, this particular dungeon in Bard's Tale 2 is really pushing my upper limit.

This is why the regulators leave and go to the private companies, guys, the revolving door stops by making the financial incentive go away:
if you want good federal government you need good federal government workers, and if you want good federal government workers you need to compete for them in the labor market.
apparently this is controversial now and i don't think it should be.

How does Hollywood do it? Actors and directors and writers all get royalties generally but do the crew?
I’m curious what the typical breakdown is - I would love to do something like this but looking at other industries seems like a good starting point (and hopefully get everyone included)

every time this gets brought up the argument is then WELL THEN WE'D HAVE TO PAY EVERYONE WHO WORKS ON THE GAME ROYALTIES SO IT'S JUST NOT DOABLE
but what if we did pay everyone royalties. :) what if people got compensated for their work :)

Voice actors never get paid royalties on video games. It's one of the biggest scars on the industry as a whole.

Christ just lean into the "Bond is a code name" thing, boom done.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

We're supposed to get the fifth and final chapter of the "Wintermute" plot for The Long Dark, meaning the game will finally be finished after eleven years.

A whole lot of the angst on here from all directions is everyone struggling with the fact that there's no way out other than through and through is going to be painful as hell no matter how we do it.
This is not a dunk or a criticism. It's genuinely depressing as hell and we all have our moments.
