Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 14hI legitimately can't tell from my back, because I have extremely poor pattern recognition. 030
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 14hI don't know what any of you are talking about, being 40 isn't real and it can't hurt me if I don't look at it. 150
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Fair, I think my brain just conflated the first book title with the series name. 000
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 13/10/2026The first part of your post, tying everything together. King did that himself with the Gunslinger/Dark Tower series (although whether that's a good thing is up for debate). 100
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 13/10/2026If you can film his reaction, or at least get a photo of the face he makes, it would be much appreciated. 1120
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Not awful for a night's work. Still a long way to go! 010
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I'd personally guess they're trying to reference dvergar, especially with them being (incorrectly) referred to as dwarves. 000
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It does feel a bit odd to be intentional IMO, since the Dwemer are pretty much the least magical people in the setting, doing everything with steampunk bullshit. And conlangers are some of the most stubborn, "why should I change he's the one who sucks" people I've met. 110
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It's originally old English, with some roots before that. Basically just means magic or spell. 140
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Possibly? It could be a purposeful pun, or just a coincidence in conlang. Mer just means elf in setting, so Dwemer is "deep elf." I'd have to look at interviews with devs to find out if they did it on purpose. 100
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Poor guy. Has he learned his lesson about bothering the pointy groundhog? 110
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Given how good M.2 drives are, I'm not surprised that SATA is going away for SSDs. Gonna be some growing pain until mobos catch up, tho. 000
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 11/10/2026No? That's neither reporting nor does anything to define the activity. 1430
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 09/10/2026On the one hand I hate AI. On the other hand I hate Adobe. What to do... 1330

Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I guess the sole consoling factor there is that they're longer trips and easier to turn around when the courts tell them they can't do that? 120
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm extremely skeptical of a big studio getting the feel right (especially Paramount), especially when the game didn't in the first place (awful lot of pointedly not shooting at the cops there). 000
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm afraid that in my state all we have is the Qanon shaman. 000
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026(minus hosting fees if you're not doing it locally, of course, but it's a very small install so you'd be paying the minimum) 010
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The advantage is that there's tons of plugins to automate functionality, add special effects, or even just entire premade adventures with music and pre placed monsters. It's also a single flat purchase, and only one person (whoever is hosting it, usually the GM) needs to buy it. 110
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah, either a dedicated server via a cloud provider (there's ones just for foundry out there), or just hosting it locally on a computer and making sure the proper ports are open. There are tutorials to do that that make it pretty easy, but networking isn't for everyone. 110
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I don't personally play 5E, mind you, but it has a module for that, along with pretty much every other TTRPG out there. Especially good for Pathfinder 2E and Lancer, in my experience. 110
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I use Foundry as my virtual tabletop, although I'm not sure how mobile friendly it is. Also requires it to be hosted, either locally on a pc or on the cloud, but it's entirely browser based otherwise. It has built in voice, but I just use Discord instead. 120
Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Out of 51 democrats, I'd be shocked if they actually held the line on this. 3100

Alex Blaes @otagian.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Accidentally sticking his foot in his mouth again with that last question, huh? 150
