@Betty even the solitary big cats give off real “introverts wanting to be collected by an extrovert” vibes at times lmao

@Betty i wonder if the fact that some cats raise young communally or semi-communally factors into them being so chill about this

@Betty @soph_sol every time i’m like “wow okay the future is not as cool as we were expecting” lmao

@Betty @soph_sol Inductive Charging (aka wireless charging or MagSafe) just straight up uses magnets

they’re strong enough to pick up say, anywhere between a paperclip and a ball jar ring

@soph_sol @Betty my phone picks up small metalic objects on the reg and its so weird

@runpunkrun @fogsrollingin well, moderation was definitely repeatedly suggested before they wiped the entire #help channel, so the question is did they read it before deleting everything orrrrr

@eyebrowofdoom @lookitmychicken yay for successful voting!

@lookitmychicken hopefully there was just some sort of problem, and next election you will have more then? But maybe worth a call to complain to a local representative or something bc it really shouldn’t be that difficult

@lookitmychicken this seems like a dire lack of polling places, postal vote being an option or no

@Cyborgneticz i’ve heard “god bowling” for thunder w/no storm but not that one

also I have some Questions

@skysailor @Canageek @Anke @rowyn yeah it’s definitely no longer the only option, and I think DM’s have been going “fuck it” and houseruling things since the day tabletop was invented so it was definitely never universal

But it is still canonically a thing and there are still tables that use it as a result (we do use XP at my table but it isn’t just a strict ‘list of monsters you killed’ because players using non-combat skills should count for something)

@rowyn @skysailor @Anke yes that’s exactly what I am describing as well—a Bat is 10XP and a Dire Wolf is 200 according to the player manual

@skysailor @Anke @rowyn D&D still, technically, works this way—if you flip to the creature statistics section in the back of the 5e player handbook it lists the difficulty of each creature, along with the corresponding amount to XP you’d earn if you killed it. I think the typical assumption for those types of games is the DM tracks XP privately and then hands it out at the end of each session but that is still someone keeping track!

That said, D&D is a an overcomplicated math heavy game and I don’t necessarily recommend just copying its choices 😆
