How does edition numbering work in Hero System? I see that core book is at 6ed but for example Cyber Hero is 4ed. Does that mean it’s a 4th revision of Cyber Hero or that is should be used with HS4?

With how microblog media works I think those packs should have been tags, not accounts

the Force is strong with this one

At first yes. But then you’d be zipping around it because it is soooo slooooow

Where are you going to announce results?

parallel between this discussion of what is a GM’s style and the Adam Neely video about what makes musical genres distinct

Sorry, I couldn’t resist :D

Open source, federated platforms do not:

• call back ads companies to get your ad id/cookie, so also don’t:
  • cross-reference which posts resulted with viewing the articles and ads in those articles
  • cross-reference which posts resulted with viewing which products in stores
  • check with ads companies which “competition” you switched to and with what content you interacted there
  • have info on how your demographics’ profile (things you interact with) connect with the content you watch
    • so also, they don’t sell this data back to ads companies
• process which content you interact with in order to make you stay on the platform longer or trigger you to write angry comments so you create content for others
• process at what local times you view content in order to process how to target your demographics
• process what you chose to not interact at all (only view, no vote)

I’m afraid I could go on but I think you get my point

Someone could be scraping how you vote, what you write, how you write, at what times you write, etc. But for outside scraper there is no way to make sure (from that info) which ads you’ve seen on article sites and what things you bought or browsed. So yes, open-source, federated, socially-run platforms are better for your privacy

There’s something wrong with the way it displays. There is a link in quote section in web UI

Just 4h earlier there was a different take

Which one is it in the end?

If someone uploads music they don’t have copyright to then yes, in most places that will be piracy

That’s how the community plays it. 3 being rather on the low-end of what I’ve heard of

And if you know the game mechanics and play enough you can buy subscription of one month with in-game money

They want to have “Publicly Run Social Media” and they don’t even know about us? WTF?

fixing a smartphone is not the same as modifying systems that keep the lights on for our country

From what I’ve seen around, apart from QC and cut corners, that is bull

I think some peertube instances also have an option to stream

For sure. But wearing shoes would feel like those winter mittens where you trade using hands for being warm

I think car seats would be designed differently then

I just use my feet to pick up stuff in such situations

I can’t report because I haven’t validated them yet… I’m not going to send [the Linux kernel maintainers] potential slop

That’s worth pointing out IMO

favorite on-going cyberpunk franchise

Well, Shadowrun, of course! ;D
And Cyberpunk. I’m less versed in that one but I like the feel they are getting. I mean the RPG lore books

But getting back to your post, to me Tron has always been about visuals first. Even if the first one got old, considering the times it comes from it still looks wicked. The whole “the user” idea and worldbuilding is interesting but in a way I feel a Tron movie does not need to be sophisticated to be a good Tron movie

GitS, I really dig the depth of the first one. But somehow with those meh reboots etc, I feel any following work will be a mixed bag. Some might get to that level, many won’t

So, I guess Blade Runner for me. Both films are good, the RPG is done well (to allow replicating what the movies are about). So far so good

Ah! Right, sorry. In my language it’s yet another abbreviation and I sometimes get lost in all three. I thought CCCP is the English one
