Admittedly, I have not played AD&D (D&D used to be different ruleset) since the 2nd edition. But back in the "good ol days" I played nearly every day for close to seven years (one campaign running during school lunch, and another with my best friends on weekend / holidays. Never ever did we associated any non-human race with a real human race. Matter of fact we never associated stuff in our fantasy world with real-life ever. Which is a good thing as 100% of the time was spent playing chaotic evil characters fucking shit up in fantasy land, because well its a game and playing evil characters is hilariously outrages to the point of absurdity. The same stuff that makes B and C grade horror "funny" and darth vader a cool badass dude and skywalker an incestual punce. When we wanted to play a Japanese assassin (our take on ninja) guess what! that character would be human. Wanted to play a bass ass big black warrior, again you'd choose human. It's like the idiots who are now in charge don't know their own game. The good news is A: I don't play anymore and B: If I did play we would simply ignore all that woke shit in the same way we ignored the role 3x D6 for each stat. Also, we never put much thought about the real-life logistics of carrying around a Dragons hoard of loot 24x7 by foot.

Just writing a long email completely sucks on the iPad. Coding on the thing would be horrific. Despite what they keep saying the thing is NOT a fucking replacement for a laptop / desktop. The OS just has too many limitations, ie no file system, shitty multi tasking, and most productivity apps are cut down to point where productivity just plummets. IPad is just a consumption device no matter how man hip videos we get shown how its the panacea of productivity.

That is because the No 1 priority with any potential pandemic is to ensure no human or animal could get offended by the name assigned to the pathogen. Thus naming convention must clearly take priority over containment and treatment. ;) thankfully the woke crowd is on the job.

unskilled does not require 18 years of training.

if they really want more subscribers .... keep the price and offer their entire catalog of movies and tv shows. However, I would wager that even if apple wanted to do this the content owners will be hard to get on board especially in cases where the content owner is trying to establish their own streaming platform.

I am not buying into apples streaming services until they release Apple Tv+ Pro.... for professional binge watching.

why are young people so hell bent on sucking the fun and life out of everything. Working in our office the youngence are so afraid to offend they dont even say fucking good morning or goodbye when the roll in. They silently walk in sit down, work and leave. if anything goes wrong they fall apart and quit. Thank fuck some of my colleagues my age are around to keep things entertaining when the pressure is on. Deep dark blackhumour when things are looking grim is the best way to get through tough problems. Stumbling across funny comments in source code and docs just makes for a nicer day. Fuck all this offended shit.

Mozilla managed to drive Firefox under the ground now they are just torching the remains. Used the software as my main browser since it was called firebird. I hung in as long as I could switched to chrome long after everyone else on the team 8 month ago. Now enjoying watching this train wreck...

I got caught out on the app store several years back, bought an expensive suite for couple of hundred dollars, when it came time to upgrade. Ooops, sorry upgrade pricing is not possible on the app store you need to re-buy the next version at full price. If I had purchased direct the upgrade would have been only $80-. After contacting the developer and asking if I could switch to the non appstore version + upgrade they declined citing being to scared to piss of apple. So I was royally fucked. Anyways still running the old version 4 years later, and now I am switching back to Dell & Debian after Apple butchered the pro line. :)

apple would innovate on this idea by removing all buttons and controls that way you don't even need to play you can just watch. Mario comes in 3 shades pink, gold, or space gray. The console will need several dongles, sold separately.

Well I just removed all my accounts and relatives are ditching them as well. I have no time for any company that supports this political correct bullshit. In fact I would go so far as wanting to support any company that takes a stand against these fucktards.

Always wondered how I could make sure that my photos really did get removed after ditching the platform. Now they are doing it for me. :)

I am sure they will come up with some bastardized mutant variant of "fruit & veg" that is machine compatible. The biggest mistake in the story is the tag: "Food". We really need a different term. If its a chain its going to be some garbage crap that does not deserve to be called food.

just got confused with India and Indiana it happens.

The Association of German Spammers has already claimed billions of dollars in losses due to the outage. The association chairman claims: "We need a rescue package to recover our losses". Billions of SPAM emails to valid accounts were flagged as "does not exist". Using the same calculations as the music industry the rescue package is estimated to exceed 50 billion euros to recover todays losses.
