Oh, goodness, this is the first time I've ever heard about Invidious. So my imagination jumped the gun and I didn't give this gorgeous visual revamp the credit that it's due! Thanks for your hard work!

Oh, this looks pretty promising!

Any idea of how much they've shared a roadmap? I'd love to see if they have goals to integrate other video platforms like PeerTube to make it more than just an alternative YouTube front-end.

Any time I hear about this game, I always remember how much TB adored it. Thanks for posting this!

Oh, that sounds really cool!! I haven't actually used chatGPT so I'm not familiar with the pricing or free limitations of it.

Recently I've been really enjoying LM studio for D&D related things. I've created separate conversation threads for different topics, plots, and characters. So, when I ask a question it already is aware of the context behind my ask and it tailors the response accordingly.

For example, I recently had a one-shot and I knew I wanted to have a powerful sorceress who controlled minds. So I spun up a new conversation and typed out the basic info. Then I asked the LLM what her favorite form of torture was, how many people she had mind controlled, and what her lair might look like, etc. It worked better than I thought it would, although some of the responses seemed pretty cookie cutter 😅

I used Notion for managing my D&D campaign until I noticed I was approaching the limitations of what the free tier offered. That sent me looking for an alternative and I ended up settling on Skiff Pages (at that time I don't even think they had email, drive, etc). It didn't have all the features that Notion did, but it was functional, easy to use, and they were frequently adding improvements.

It's kind of funny to me that they ended up getting swallowed by Notion in the end. I'm just glad that I've long since switched over to Obsidian. My Markdown files can't get bought by Notion . 😂

This happened to me 2 years ago, so I know it's really really tough. We put our old boy Stanley down on Christmas Eve and it was devastating. He was a long haired tuxedo that looked almost exactly like your sweet Belle.

I hope you take comfort in knowing that her last moments will be right by your side, where she likely feels the most at peace. And I also hope that you take care of yourself, take the time to grieve, and lean on your loved ones when you can.

If you're not memeing, I think that is Josh Hutcherson

Aha! I've finally found someone to talk to about that! I'm pretty unfamiliar with the franchise. I think I briefly played the first game on mobile, but know very little.

What's so engaging about the first game and what makes you look forward to a second one?

That was an amazing night for Baldurs Gate 3! It's a lovely game, so I get it.

I was a bit surprised by the multiplayer win, though 🤔

If they support this game even half as well as No Man's Sky then I'm excited to see how this one works out!

Oh my goodness, the exact same thing happened with me and Guild Wars 2!!! 😱

I was a teenager at the time and my family burned logs to keep the house warm in winter. My Dad upgraded the smoke detectors so that they were all linked. In other words, if one alarm went off in the basement (where the wood burner was) then every detector in the house would go off.

This sounds great in theory, but in reality it turns out that the detectors would go off on a near weekly basis. Whenever someone tossed logs in the burner and smoke escaped. We got desensitized to the beeping and it became second nature to just cancel the alarm when it happened.

Fast forward to the closed beta for Guild Wars 2 and I was up late, trying to play every possible minute that I could before the weekend was over. My door was closed, headphones on, and I was REALLY immersed.

The smoke detector started beeping. And it kept beeping over and over and over. Normally, at this point my parents would've cancelled it. That kind of struck me as odd, so I opened my door.

Ruh roah, raggy.

A wall of smoke was on the other side of the door. And the smell was NOTHING like the usual wood burner smell. It really hurt to breathe and my eyes were not having a good time either.

After shaking my Dad awake, we called the fire department, got all the animals out, and nobody got hurt. The damage was serious, but the entire house didn't go up. The upstairs needed rebuilt and there was a fair bit of smoke damage.

I don't want to think about what would've happened if I wasn't up playing that closed beta 😅

A friend who I've only known through the Internet is flying up to a neighboring city. So, my husband and I are driving down to meet him in person for the first time.

It's crazy that I've interacted with him for close to a decade without ever meeting him physically. Wish me luck!
