Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Not once in my 40-odd years of life have I used a WYSIWYG editor that, once committed/submitted/saved, actually *gave me what I saw*
4·3 months agoYes but the html it generated was a monstrosity. If you wanted to edit it again, you better use dreamweaver.

rpg@ttrpg.network•Sinister reasons for beer price inflation?
71·3 months agoDepending on how medieval the setting is, hops were not the common bittering in many beers, it was a mix of herbs called gruit. If this mix’s ingredients are secret (or regulated), it would be easy to monopolize and drive the price up.
The price may be going up due to the cost of some profane adulterants being added in ever greater quantities…

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UKEnglish
6·5 months agoThe thing I find funniest about that is that milk of magnesia is rather new to the English language (1880 according to the Oxford English dictionary). Meanwhile terms like almond milk that are “too confusing” have been in the English language since Middle English.
Fucking lobbyists…
Sorry for the long reply
Running Amber DRPG as a diplomacy focused story is certainly an option, especially if you’re doing a throne war campaign. There are certainly other setups beyond this (we started immediately following book 5 as grandchildren of Oberon). While every PC and NPC certainly has their own motivations and schemes, there is no requirements as to how political you need to be (Gerard notoriously hated the petty scheming of his siblings; Benedict doesn’t care as long as Amber remains stable).
As for advancement (which I think is what you’re alluding to with ranking change): if you’re following the book’s rules as written, the #1 in each rank for each generation cannot change (Benedict will always lead in warfare). Advancement is also blind, so you will no longer know your stats.
As for why it has run a long time: thankfully, I have a great GM that has crafted a compelling story and wonderful players that agree on the tone of the game and are reliable. It also helps that we started as 100pt characters, so there has been room for growth and development.
In my mind, it very quickly went from something implausible (how would that system work well) to one of my favorites after playing. Still lucky enough to be in a long Amber campaign with an awesome group.

News@lemmy.world•'Worst of the Worst'? DOJ Figures Show 97.4% of 614 Detained Immigrants in Chicago Had No Criminal Record
7·8 months agoIt’s even worse if they’re using “criminal record” the same way the FBI has historically (arrested but not necessarily convicted on a felony charge).
I don’t have up to date numbers, but c.2016 the FBI considered ~29% of Americans to have a criminal record.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•The saddest thing is that THIS might be what turns Maga against him
7·8 months agoHe doesn’t even need to describe quality. Just say that he appreciated all the attention that Trump gave to the balls.
Of course they should. Where else would I get my snilk from?

It took my old ass way too long to realize that you were talking about the Imagine Dragons song (which was definitely overplayed) and not the absolute banger of a song from The Firm.

3·10 months agoIt is a ton of fun! A word of warning though: there are funky game mechanics stemming from its origin as a board game from the 80s.
I don’t hate sales as a concept. I just dislike the sociopaths who tend to work there.

Most app devs fuck it up (especially the lazy bastards that just throw everything in /opt and call it a day). I like being the dev who won’t let my code ship until everything fits nicely into FHS 3.0.
There’s dozens of us.

Hell, R was being used in colleges in 2000. Unfortunately, whether it was SPSS for the soft sciences or forcing stats work in Matlab for the engineers, professors always seemed bad at promoting the right tool for the job.
