Definetely a meme at least among my friends and coworkers. Just a friendly banter akin to prefering console vs pc or supporting one sports team rather than the other

Couldnt agree more.

It is a roleplaying game after all. Conflict resolution can even be fun if the players are into it.

For longer campaings with a set group of friends we dont even start the campaing with "all PCs are friends". I just make them meet and tie their interests together so they kinda have to work together. Friendships develop over time.

But I would never, under any circumstance, allow for bullying or teasing even among characters.

Thanks for sharing! Not all people are aware of the possible dangers and I believe we tend to assume things are safe nowadays.

Thats not what I said.

Never played 5e but in 3.5e the target of the spell - not the spellcaster - can roll a dice. The target can perform a will save to reduce healing amount by half.

I guess since in many cases you do actually need to roll a dice, like when peeforming a touch or ranged touch spell, people just assume it always happens.

And even in this case. Cure wounds is a spell like any other and it is subject to a will saving throw. So to be correct the pc that was targeted by the spell would indeed roll in order to save from the unintended heal - but thats really just assuming the spell could be used like this, which in my interpretation it cannot.

So again, even if the caster rolls no dice in this case, the target could. I think this leads to people thinking there must always be a roll.

Edit: fix paragraphs

Nope. It is an android app. The author is probably using some kind of webview to display the data, so html and css are for laying out and styling the components. This is pretty common nowadays

While I think Obsidian is pretty awesome I was disappointed with the outer worlds. Pentiment had a really interesting story though.

Because its fun even if the input method isnt perfect. Specially so for casual gamers. Both ports for age of empires play really well on console and I suppose age of mythology will be just as great.

That makes sense. Thanks a lot for the explanation!

Does this harm twitter in any way?

I mean, if they are still reachable and usable in Brazil, they can still serve ads to those users and so it seems their business doesnt change much?

But there must have been some advantage for twitter in having an office there, otherwise they wouldnt have opened it in the first place.

I don't care for that new cosmetic drive thing. But the changes to respawn system could be interesting. Overwatch really needs to be played as a team and spamming "group up" can only do so much.

Thats really nice. I appreciate your concerns with privacy and user experience!

Ill be sure to keep my eyes on the project

So I have recently found out about forward email just a few months ago.

I am currently using tuta as my email provider, and I have been doing so for the last three years. But I am not very happy with the closed ecosystem and locking of basic features behind paywalls.

So I decided to give forwardemail a go after reading about it on free software foundation's webmail systems (this is a web archive link, more on that later)

Now the thing is, the service works. But things don't really feel legit. They claim to have thousands of users but there's surprisingly little information about them other than their own website. The branding seems completely generic and pretty much all of their code seems to be coming from one single account with no real information.

There's a couple reviews about them on trust pilot but the positive ones mostly come from accounts where the only review is for forwardmail.net

I've read some discussion about them getting recommended on privacy guides, they sounded very professional and mentioned even wanting to get auditioned, but to the best of my knowledge that has not happened yet (please correct me if I am wrong). Worse than that they seemed to stop replying to the thread a couple months ago.

Finally, I realized today that FSF has removed their recommendation for forwardemail from their website

In conclusion, I have tested and the service does work, but I can't tell if there is something shady happening. What do you all think?
