Sounds like fun! Dropbox also has LAN sync if you're all on the same "team" account. Works wonders between local computers. I love seeing targeted solutions like the one posted by OP, but I can't shake the feeling that t

There's a certain irony that the primary feature separating smart phone cameras and traditional cameras is the ability to purposefully make "blurry photographs".

Recommendation: Start with the story and narrative elements. You can abstract away all the rules, and math as need be, and re-introduce them over time. Related discussion: https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/103550&

What are your thoughts on Dungeon World (PbtA)? For rules-lite, classic D&D-themes, and easy for newbies, I've found it to be a good choice for my group.

Coming from a long background in D&D 3.5/5e/etc TTRPGs, Dungeon World and thus the PbtA systems feel like a breath of fresh air! Especially for a rules-lite, narrative-first game. However, I will admit... The actual Dungeon Wo

If you haven't read Ender's Game, I highly recommend it based on this topic. I think the tricky part is - if it's an unsolved problem, how does the game know when a task is complete? Feedback loops are a core element of game

It's an interesting dark pattern... I understand when products are compared directly: Uber vs. Lyft, Uber Eats vs. Grubhub, etc. Often consumers are looking at the exact same product and purely deciding based on price. I can see what a

True! Great point that there are very, very many other ways that they are "compensated" besides direct $$$ donations. Thank you for noting that.

IMO: The mind blowing element, is that in the grand scheme of things It's not actually that much money . I'm not sure if anyone knows the true amount, but estimates put the number spent on lobbying around a few million dollars. O

Do you have a better site or resource you now go to for queries like can opener opinions? Yes, Reddit isn't perfect, but I've been hard pressed to find better options.

Shoutout to Satisfactory. I've seen many players that resonate with Dyson Sphere Program also enjoy Satisfactory. Not quite as in-depth as Factorio, but an amazingly, amazingly well designed game in both over experience and gameplay.

Bummer. I used to be a huge advocate for 1Password. Purchased a single license for $60 back in the day. Backed up my vault to Dropbox. For a few years, it was the best app I've ever bought. Now with the upgrade to monthly subscription,

I'm not sure on the exist economics, but much of the "cost" of a return ends up being passed to the seller, so it's much easier for Amazon to green light returns much more loosely.

On average, I imagine it's low. However, anecdotally the gamers I know who are buying $1000+ cards, generally do so every 2 years with the intent to flip them and buy the newest hottest card. In a similar train of thought - there might

Seriously! It's a shame that Xfire became a thing of the past. I feel like Steam baked in enough of the "community" features to steal their lunch, without ever delivering on the full community element that Discord is thriving

True. I think the economics of how cheap smartphones have gotten is shocking. Especially since you can acquire "barely working" phones. Broken camera? Not a problem. Broken audio jack? No worries. Cracked screen? Meh. No battery l

Hand injuries are no joke! I'm glad prominent players like Armada and Hax have been so vocal about taking them seriously.

I really do like my QC35's, but I agree the primary issues are: - I can have 2 connected sources of audio (ex: phone/laptop). However, only one works at a time. So when I get a spam phone call, I loose audio for my ongoing video c

I've always wanted a metric for how well talent correlates to victory in a given game. For me, Super Smash Brothers Melee is a great example. Let's say I'm rank 1,000 in my city, and I play someone rank 250. I expect to loose
