Yet. They aren't doing anything to the app yet.

This is exactly my worry. Usually the reason a VPN is free is because they're selling your data on the backend. No thank you.

That's so frustrating.

I have a discord with 14 friends that we're abandoning. I created a Root community (yeah, not open source or self hosted, but it's what I can do) and we've had 7 move over in the last month. The rest have 2 weeks before the discord gets deleted ...

I mean they do sometimes without the proper safety protocols in place, but you still blame the user in the end.

Just like discord, do they think we're stupid? Who here is going to say, "Oh, they changed the wording? They pushed the dates back? Well nevermind, I'll reinstall!"

Trust me, the GOP doesn't think it's a problem.

Ya, no shit.

There it is again. Have a day.

Absolutely. My spouse is a teacher and I have many friends who are, too. I see it every day. The "good" teachers use technology to the benefit of themselves and the students, using it when appropriate and when best applicable. No doubt there are teachers and students out there who use it as a crutch. Like you said though, we need to be able to switch between analog and digital, figuring out when either is better suited.

I play RPGs. I do all of my characters and planning and stuff with pencil and paper. I do a lot of my GM work digitally. You need to be able to do both today, or else you're not going to be prepared for adulthood.

The opening of every comment you've made. Each one was sprinkled with belittling phrases. Saying I don't understand nuance, or "spelling it out for me." Perhaps if you didn't go complete aggressor and wanted to participate in a discussion, you would realize our viewpoints aren't that different. But that's not how you wanted to handle this.

Perhaps that's how you've been talked to, or always talked to people, or you're just used to immature internet commenting, so you don't realize how inappropriate or immature it is. In any case, I'm no longer going to continue this conversation. Have a good day.

 

I'm on Phase 5 of the expedition and the only thing I have left to do in order to complete it is to shut down the sentinel forces. Unfortunately, I accidentally sold my sentinel boundary map! Is there any way to get another one, or am I just lost and should give up now?

I've gotten so much salvaged glass and nothing has popped up. I've taken out 3 sentinel capital ships, and no maps. I'm out of ideas.

 

I'm incredibly new to 3D printing. I have an Anycubic Photon Mono 2 and I'm using the Anycubic standard resin. My first couple of prints went fine; first one was the test print and the second was a set of dice (which technically didn't go fine since I wasn't aware you can't just print right on the plate, so one side was blank).

However, ever since then my next 4 prints have failed. I thought I was maybe going too complex right off the bat - attempting to print a flexible dragon for my kids - so I decided to run the resin exposure test ("RERF"). Only 4 of the 8 printed, and the ones that did only barely printed. I have absolutely no idea what's going on with this and was hoping that someone here could give some insight and advice.

Thanks!

 

I just recently got into NMS just before the Aquarius update. I've really enjoyed things so far, but I'm at a weird point now. Every one of my primary missions has some vague objective that I can't actually complete. The story (as it is) seems to have completely stalled out. I'm left to repetitious side missions like the Base Computer Archives and Settlers.

Is there anything else in terms of story, or am I on my own now? I just figured there would be some sort of resolution to Artemis, Atlas, or any of the really cool and interesting plots that seem to be going on here.

 

Pretty short and sweet, how do you successfully narrate travel between points of interest as a GM without it being all hurky-jerky?

I'm imagining attempting to narrate the epic travel scenes in Lord of the Rings, where they travel for days in fast-forward with nothing really interesting happening, only to then suddenly have time reel down to normal when something is about to happen. Every time I try this in a game though it just feels awkward and abrupt, while also clearly indicating to the players that something is going to happen.

Is there a way to make this a more smooth and natural transition?
