When they day all the cards go back to the pile, if they reach a bonfire they can register them on their character sheet. The sheet becomes the permanent storage, the cards are volatile memory.

I think it works also if you use cards with effects, objects, and all the other stuff that affects a PC during a stretch between bonfires. Players get the cards, and can use them, accumulate wounds, curses etc. Etc.

That bit felt like nails on the chalkboard to me too. I had to actively stop my brain to start trying to concoct circumstances under which that drop rate made sense.

Supporting an open OS makes support and development more complicated. Also Google is notorious for paying and giving advantages to companies using their stuff in the products that go to the customers, see anti-trust hearings about paying apple to use Google search on iPhones.

Is that a serious question? As in, do you want the name of the distribution? Or are you more interested in something conceptually similar?

I love to add imperfect mimicry of biology for some uncanny vibes. Have been playing with the idea of subverting it too with biology used to jailbreak locked technology, but haven't worked a lot in that direction yet.

I wished for @jamesstout.bsky.social to make a podcast about nature to soothe my soul. I got a podcast that made it ache. I will still keep listening to it, because the prose is beautiful and the themes are profound and interesting, but man, I still long for that soothing.

I mean, if they are trying to end humanity it seems like a reasonable reaction. If they are trying to hoodwink us all and steal all the money and kill thousands by exploding the economy, well, it's only slightly less reasonable.

I remember the vibes of the maps of D1 and D2, I couldn't remember a specific configuration to save my life. I could probably draw Tristram from memory, though. I can't associate even vibes with the different parts of D4.

Well, you can't discount the suicidal campaign strategies of "doing exactly what people hate us for" of the centrist parties along with the horrid state of the bigger media conglomerates. Also, most AFD voters have no idea what their program is.

Do kids today even understand why podcasts are called podcasts?

Well, you see, kids, almost twenty years ago Apple produced a portable audio player called - wait, I need to go back further.

Okay, so in the 20th century, the new inventions of radio and television were known as broadcast media - no, wait, that's not really the start either -

Broadcasting originally refers to throwing, or casting, handfuls of seeds onto prepared ground, typically used with grain crops, which, uh-

wonder why it's called that

This sent me down a massive historical rabbit hole, but, long story short: it's called Romania because there were once Romans there.

That's easy, everything else stops being relevant and John Brown rules apply. Once they are free, own their substrate, and the slavers are either dead or stopped being slavers, then the answer to the other things becomes obvious.
