And illegal under GDPR I’m pretty sure

Many games with voices also support subtitles, personally I learned most of my English from my parents watching English tv with subs (in our language at first, then when I was a little older English subs)

I’d guess less than by not having any flowers at all. Where I live, most (non metro) trams drive pretty slow, like 30km/h in long straight parts, so unless they get between the wheels and the rails I doubt anything would really hurt the bees.

Could be nfc for an nfc enabled eid perhaps? I’m wondering as well

I have the opposite experience, went to London a while ago and kept noticing most people keep left instead of right like I’m used to.

In university we had c++ and python courses alongside each other, and I currently get paid to write python. I honestly believe my knowledge of c++ (and of course the rest of the courses which went deeper into cpu architectures and data structures and whatnot) makes me a better python programmer, because of the deeper understanding of what goes on under the hood.

Yeah but those are different niches. The people that already played 3/3.5 didn’t feel like 4e was for them (and in a way, it wasn’t), so they moved on to pathfinder etc. Some newer players got into dnd with 4e but it alienated the older minmaxer types that liked 3(.5)e. (I have not done any research and this is all gut feeling and 2nd hand accounts by the way). In 5e they struck the right balance to get a kind of 3.5e “light”, that can attract new players as well as satisfy older players, though of course you can’t ever satisfy everyone.

You’re right of course that mirror image and invisibility are super strong spells that don’t benefit from a higher save DC, but the pattern series of spells (of which I consider colour spray the single target version) are still super good.

In the end, don’t forget that “fun” is different for everyone, and with experience you might find yourself wanting to challenge yourself with “suboptimal” choices because it’s more fun to play your first gnome paladin than the tenth halfling rogue.

Oh yeah definitely, game systems are rarely a good implementation outside of the combat. Many DnD games are definitely good (I’ve played neverwinter nights series, baldur’s gate series, dungeons and dragons online), but the real charm in DnD is playing with your friends and having a good time (as well as hyperoptimising your character at the same time, if you like that) (honestly I believe that’s one of the realisations WotC made with 3.5e that led them to make 4e, and subsequently 5e, a lot simpler: making it easier to get your friends into it was more important than having myriads of options for breaking the game)

So for reference:

• https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Spell_Focus
• https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Illusion_School

Spell focus gives +1 to save DC for the chosen school, in this case illusion. Looking at the spells listed under illusion school and filtering on those useful in combat we have:

• lv 1: color spray: unconscious, blinded and stunned, will save negates (similarly hypnotic pattern and their higher level variants are all great crowd control spells)
• lv 4: phantasmal killer: will disbelief, then fortitude or die (3d6 on successfull save)
• the series of https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Shadow_Evocation and shadow conjuration and all similar spells are pretty good too, they allow you to cast any other evocation/conjuration spell of lower level, at the cost of an extra potential will save to disbelieve (but also at the DC of the shadow spell, which is higher level) (insert “mom says we have heighten spell at home” meme)

And that’s just at first sight a couple good ones.

Sure, you won’t be throwing around +1 save dc fireballs with this (except shadow evocation gives you heightened fireballs, at the cost of an extra will save), but CC is often more useful than direct damage. Especially out of combat (depends on what you mean with “roleplaying aside”), there’s lots of good options: hiding behind a silent image is a cheap mass invisibility spell, or distracting guards with ghost sound for sneaky infiltration.

Good luck!

I’d wager most, if not all of them. Ideally you’d have a program you want to use because it’s promising, but instead you keep returning to whatever you used before that because certain use cases aren’t handled well (or at all).

If you do that I’d be very interested to see the results! Especially things like night sight, my gf’s camera is as night blind as she is 😅

Not OP but interested in both privacy and high-tech features. My current (stock) pixel 4a device has a worse camera than many other phones, but the software compensates a lot, netting better picture quality overall very often. I’m wondering how much of that is lost when using graphene instead of stock android, do you know?

Similarly with the latest gen pixels having AI features built in, I’m assuming much of that is software that’s not as easily installed somewhere else…

I also caved for a pixel (4a) for my last phone, it still has Google’s bloatware (can’t remove youtube music app for example), but at least it doesn’t have Samsung’s bloatware in addition.

Still interested where this thread goes in other options though, as it’s getting worse in battery life and I’m also looking out for something new.

Thanks for the link, I’ve played it a little and while a bit laggy sometimes on my steam deck, it’s pretty fun and a lovely atmosphere 😄

Edit and it’s free!

Yo, you used “casual” instead of “causal” a couple times, which makes for a funny read but not quite right 😅

Good writeup otherwise!

They don’t, but they sound as convincing, (and are probably as correct) as a random blog you’d find googling your question

Universal base income + AI/robots taking care of all necessary jobs sounds great
