“you feel the spell take hold, but for some reason the crown remains rusty”

Then you pivot that the rust is a powerful illusion or some kind of curse cast on the crown by someone related to that backstory to keep it hidden. Then while your players try to figure out why simply cleaning the rust didn’t work, you try to figure out how to weave in that backstory sooner than later.

If you’re really not ready for it to happen, make sure they have some other quest to do that has a pressing time limit.

It really depends on how much you value your time and how good you are with configuration

A QNAP or Synology will work and be pretty simple to configure out of the box. Installing custom software is possible, but can be tricky as they require you to enable sideloading and custom apps can be hard to find. Both have supported app stores with available apps to do what you’re looking for (QNAP has apps for both torrents and Plex. Not sure about Synology)

However, you will get way more bang for your buck by building one from scratch using something like TrueNAS and the Arr stack, but this can require a fair bit of technical knowledge about configuring containers and securing network services(Especially if you want them to be accessible remotely)

Most people here do selfhosting as a hobby and as a result, the time spent trying new configurations is negligible as it wouldn’t be much of a hobby otherwise.

Would be hell to play, though, there’s definitely better horny RPGs to try

My issue with horny RPGs is that if you can find people to play with that are into whatever kink the book is catering to, why would you bother to play at all? Just have sex.

And on the flipside, if you dont want to have sex with the people you’re playing with, why play the sexy game? Just play a regular RPG

“The south shall rise aga…what do you mean I lost a quarter of my money in failing stocks!?! That’s it! Call the whole thing off!”

I honestly prefer Valve’s method. You as a consumer should be reading what you’re buying before you purchase anyway, and you can still use their refund system if you somehow missed the warning.

Removing unfinished games from the storefront just increases the amount of lost media out there. These projects should be available for as long as possible simply for archival reasons.

Mostly it’s their attitude to controversy.

Brave has had several major issues over the past few years and they didn’t reverse course until press got bad enough for them to make a statement and try for damage control. This includes:

• Replacing ads on websites with their own, and collecting that revenue

• Inserting their own referral codes into auto complete when users navigate to Binance

• Installing an extra VPN service on Windows machines without user consent

• Sending DNS requests to the local ISP when in TOR mode effectively removing protection against spying

On top of all that, it’s based on Chromium, which means that Google is in control of their upstream source code.

Yeah, but then you have to use Brave

This is only obvious because you didn’t escape the news cycle.

There were a shocking number of people that didn’t even know Biden dropped out. Don’t underestimate how out of touch people can be before making an important decision

I want to play a wizard/barbarian that treats rage like another, different spell

the burden is forced on Americans to prove that Muhammed is a terrorist or Jose is a criminal, and if we can’t, we must let them in.

Yes. That’s how it should be. You can’t just decide someone is a criminal without evidence.

I might not agree with all of cobweb skeleton’s positions, but I can’t deny that he has experience

“hearing about all that stuff makes me uncomfortable, and I personally didn’t do anything wrong”

This is literally the argument.

“Kamala supports abortion which I really like. Trump says that he supports weed which I really like.”

If only Kamala Harris made some kind of overt promise to legalize marijuana federally.

Just pay your staff a livable wage and get rid of tipping entirely.

Their problem is mostly that it spends money helping poor people, when all that money could be allocated to further tax cuts for rich people.

Is that an offshore oil rig that’s on fire?

If so, they’re not entirely wrong

This makes perfect sense to me.

At the start of your career, you want to be important enough that people will care about your opinions, which means getting invited to meetings where things are discussed.

Stage 2, you’ve been there long enough and know how things work so you can offer input and help make decisions.

Stage 3 is the point at which people will come to you for input outside of meetings because that’s easier. You just want to do your job and generally don’t care about decisions anymore unless they bring sweeping changes.

Skelepathy

They don’t hate America, they hate what it’s becoming. Which is to say, they want to go back to pre-civil rights, when you were effectively guaranteed success by being a straight, white, and male.
