  • I can’t believe we still can’t moderate chat in a public webinar…. « Hey the guy who wrote ‘FUCK’ 20 times? Yeah you can kick him out, but make sure to keep these messages visible for all posterity »

    Can’t send private messages to outsiders also. Who could EVER need this in a public event anyway?

    And make sure you can’t let people join the breakout room of their choice. Take the time to individually assign them one by one before the meeting! Fun!!

    Hey at least we can play Backgammon in a meeting, so there’s that right?



  • I’ve read the articles, and their demands are reasonable: First, they are arguing Canadian citizens in Gaza have been left to fend for themselves to escape and the Canadian government have imposed no restrictions on Canadian citizens to take part in the Israeli assaults.

    Second, they argue the Canadian government is failing its duty to honor the 1948 genocide convention. The good news from this is that it might force the government to explain why what’s happening in Gaza cannot be considered a genocide, so we will see their true colors, documented for all posterity…. Or, they will have to admit it is indeed genocide, and measured have to be taken.

    All in all, I guess the article title is sensationalist but the essence of the lawsuit is warranted.





  • Just to add to that answer, I’d the biggest difference is the grim powerlessness. The players can barely delay the inevitable and most will probably die in the process.

    There are way more skills aimed at investigations, and the goal are often more aimed towards a McGuffin that solves the issues, or sometimes the goal is simply to just be able to leave in one piece and hope someone else cleans the mess 😅. (There’s actually a fan story adapted into a RPG called « Delta Green » where you play a secret military tasked with dealing with mythos threats)

    As D&D is the epic hero’s journey where Gandalf saves everyone at the last minute, CoC is the horror thriller where the protagonist dies, only a rando side character survives and walks off screen as the dead monster opens its eyes again just before cutting to black.




  • Learning more about Linux, I smile when people review distros on YouTube based on the desktop environment

    Like, I know you are reviewing « SuperFunOS » but really that’s just a fork of Ubuntu with Plasma…

    « I give it negative points because there is no office suite included » Dude… really? …

    (Dammit… I’m slowly becoming an elitist 😨 )
