As a bit more background the Ancient Dragons were Blue, Black, Red, Green, and White, so we had to work around a mix of damages. Nice bonus with the Pit Fiend, Dragons aren’t immune to the Frightened Condition and creatures within 20 feet of the Fiend roll for Frightened at start of turn, and all attacks are magical so it punches through resistances.

Always glad to swap warg stories!

Ouch. I’m kinda surprised the Pentagon is cool with this.

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous

First Druid Shapeshifted to Ogremoch soaking damage and myself as the second Druid Shapeshifted to Pit Fiend multi-striking with poison helped to finish the fight, our Cleric was putting out some serious dps with Smites though he went down and had to be revived twice, a sorcerer with Invulnerability potion successfully splitting off two of the Dragons with Agro and doing some strong AOE until the Pit Fiend came in to finish them off. I was the Pit Fiend Druid, Dream Circle, focusing healing after summoning a Draconic Spirit to soak damage early on until the Shapeshift towards the end. Wizard in the backline focusing Lightning damage with hasten, but the Blue Dragon being immune he switched it up towards the end.

I just did a two-shot where we went five level 20 characters vs 5 Ancient Dragons. Beyond all expectations the players actually won without a Permadeath. That said, the GM didn’t use the Dragons’ spell abilities much, that might have turned the tide.

Worth noting that it was the fact we had two Druids with Shapechange that turned the tide of battle.

They can already do this by hosting a small instance and going unnoticed.

You mention kbin/mbin, but you do not understand its power!

Gotta love how they don’t state what the most reliable EV is, even in the Consumer Reports original article. I guess you have to pay for that info.

Could be a hog house sewage slurry lagoon, I see what looks like a pump out on the far right corner. I’m not sure about the humps on the bottom, but they might control the current to avoid a whirlpool effect when pumping out the pond. Just guessing here.

I maintain that this had something to do with a disagreement over which commercial applications are permissible for GPT-4, and that Sam Altman somewhere along the line negotiated a deal that allowed some actor to participate in one of the “forbidden applications” by proxy via a seemingly unrelated agreement. I’m talking Financial Forecasting (High Frequency Trading), Military, and Policing/Surveillance. Now that Sam’s back and unfettered, I’m guessing we are going to see some of those applications come out into the light.

Windows Defender bad?

New DKR? Yes please! It was always my favorite over Mariokart.

I’m trying to imagine playing this on a game pad and failing to understand, lol

I have been playing Shogun Showdown, which is a fun but difficult strategy roguelike “deck builder-ish”. I’m not sure I’ll stick with it through full unlocks. I have been tempted by Cobalt Core as well, though the price has bounced me off of it for this month at least.

As the others here are implying, the current consensus in the Physics community is that the many worlds hypothesis is not falsifiable, and so should be disregarded in favor of funding theories that can be proven or disproven. String theorists, the biggest proponents of the many worlds theory, are generally ostracized from greater physics academia since they have failed to produce any experimental designs to validate their claims for several decades after taking up a lot of tenured positions in the 90’s, along with the “pop science” PR campaigning for their position that started then with some popular books and continues to this day in the works of Michio Kaku for example.

Mastodon, you’re talking about Mastodon, lol.

Anyway I’d build an service that provides free wifi at local businesses, then allows users to opt-in to a service that matches clients of those businesses with each-other based on common interests. Trying to encourage the establishment of hangouts / Third Places as a norm in society again. Maybe this could be like the wifi server acts as a clearing house, and your device holds an encrypted list of your interests and then notifies you of a match at the location in real time, or allows you to leave a copy behind to check if there are matches over time and collects messages for you, or possibly suggests meet up times. Something along those lines.

Also possibly an application that tracks user input and the value of their input to the accomplishment of stated goals for the purpose of profit sharing. Essentially an automated accountability layer for cooperative projects and business ventures, integrated with automated project management based on Natural language processing.

Yep, this me.

Sounds like Tumblr. Mastodon or Kbin/Mbin on the Fediverse do this too.
