Reminds me of the twins from Kingmaker.

Also, good foreshadowing always creates the possibility that your audience (the players, in this case) will work out what’s really going on before you expected them to. This is not a flaw, it doesn’t “spoil” the experience. It is, in fact, incredibly satisfying to put a bunch of clues together and then see that prediction vindicated when the twist is revealed.

I think it was 3e that changed it so that the stats are grouped as physical, then mental. And decimalized the coinage, for that matter.

Oh hey, it’s the Furies from Overly Sarcastic Productions’ video about The Oresteia.

By asking to play a centaur, you’re either declaring that your character will be constantly naked from the waist down, or opening the can of worms that is “what would centaur pants even look like?”

…in service of his fantasy epic.

This is wrong. The the histories, cultures, etc. were in service of the conlangs. Sure, he eventually wrote some stories set in that world, but that wasn’t the reason he created it.

Zigmenthotep on YouTube covered F.A.T.A.L as part of their “Let’s make us a character” series. It took four episodes, in a format that is usually one-and-done.

However bad you’ve heard the game is, I assure you it’s worse.

‘There’s no greys, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.’
‘It’s a lot more complicated than that—’
‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.’

—Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

Does 40k actually have machs?

I see no reason why they wouldn’t, I’ve just never heard of them. But then my only engagement with the setting has been the Rogue Trader crpg and the occasional video.

I honestly don’t know how nh works under the hood, but it does seem to do concurrent builds, so it’s probably something like that.

nix flake update
nix flake check --no-build
git commit -a
nh os switch

Is the routine I’ve settled into. Flake update because I use flakes, flake check because it’s easier to see any warnings about deprecated options and the like so I can fix them preemptively, git commit after the check to avoid back-to back commits where the second is fixing some issue with the first, and nh because I like the pretty dependency graph and progress bar.

I’ve never used Steam Link, but at a glance I’m feeling a bit confused about your use case. It’s a remote play client for mobile devices, isn’t it?

On NixOS you can just install Steam, which has remote play built in.

See also: a streaming service’s “recommended for you” section that is indistinguishable from “watch it again”.

It took me a minute, but I think these are all Crafts from Mage: The Ascension:

• Muslims: Ahl-i-Batin
• Feminists: Sisters of Hippolyta
• Deus vult: Knights Templar
• Goths: Hollow Ones
• Voodoo: Batáa
• Alchemists: Children of Knowledge
• Confucians: Wu Lung
• Polynesians: Kopa Lori
• Rich Africans: ?

Coca-Cola switched from fresh to spent coca leaves in 1903, so the '50s are about a half century too late for cocaine in sodas.

Small, yes, but Konsi is pretty far from horrible.

Also I’ve never seen her eat a beetle, but you’d know better than me on that point.

They were lying about the perjury. Even though they swore they wouldn’t.

Hmmm. It’s often said that the difference between medicine and poison is a matter of dosage.

Which means that you could potentially use lesser restoration to kill someone who is receiving mundane treatments for a lethal disease.

Or, heck, consumed in sufficiently large doses, even water can be toxic.

I’ve only ever heard that term used in Cajun cooking, where it refers to onion, celery, and bell pepper.

The version with carrot is mirepoix.
