Endless RPG generates D&D 5e or Pathfinder 1e adventures set in a dungeon, tower, crypt, cave, ruins, fortress, etc. Players explore through a fog-of-war, with encounters/traps/treasure/etc. presented as they discover them, which is good for solo play. nations-software.info/2024/0…

Apple has fallen so far. Every time I open the Find My app it asks me to turn notifications on. Every time. And several other apps do the same. Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave about bad Product decisions.

Too often in Slay the Spire 2 your loss is based entirely on luck rather than skill. Example: if you don't get the cards that back you away while facing the boss that swallows you, then you'll die. Period. Still having fun with the game, but that's a design flaw imo.

I've always thought EA Madden misses an opportunity post-Super Bowl. They should release a free agency/draft update and let people take over the build for 2026. They may worry it would take away from the next version's sales, but if they deliver on features, that wouldn't happen.

I’m pretty sure he was thinking: Awesome excuse. Now I can stay home and finally binge watch Pluribus!

Can you, the people, “vote your way out of this?” Honestly, not if you get your news from these folks. The swamp has tricks for deceiving the public, and most even work on congressmen. Here’s an example of how Laura and Greg played along as happy tools of the swamp. Please ask yourself why your own congressman has never talked about this. He either hasn’t gotten this far in the game (80% chance), or he likes the way the swamp obscures what’s going on (10% chance), or he dislikes the system but the price he’d pay for telling you is too high (10% chance). If a congressman sees this post and wants to debate me, I accept! The House has rules we adopt at the beginning of each Congress. Honestly we should just use those - some go all the way back to Thomas Jefferson. Some are like Robert’s Rules of Order which branched from House rules a century ago. But we have a rules committee that modifies the rules every week. I served on the rules committee for two years. When I was on the committee, I refused to vote for rules changes if the purpose was to mislead or obscure. Every week, the rules committee bends the rules to suit the Speaker, but you can’t place the blame just on the committee or the Speaker. Every rules change must be approved by the whole House with a majority vote. Rank and file congressmen are told to vote for these rules modifications each week for the sake of party loyalty because the rules are temporarily modified by the majority to keep the minority from using the permanent rules against us. This is partly true, so most congressmen never question beyond this. Typically, every week the rules committee meets before other committees and writes a rules package to protect bills that will come to the floor that week. Then the whole house votes on this rules package early in the week before significant legislation comes to the floor. The vote is typically on party lines. Sometimes a block of congressmen in the majority will take the rules package hostage and withhold their vote to get something else that has nothing to do with the rules. I’m not a big fan of this, but after 13 years, my hands aren’t completely clean of this tactic. The high-road position that I try to maintain is that if the rules package is bad, you shouldn’t vote for the rules package, and in general you shouldn’t withhold your vote from a rules package if there’s nothing wrong with the rules package… even if you disagree with the policy that is enabled to come to the floor by the rules package. There are more details, but that’s all you need to know to understand what I’m going to explain next. This week the Speaker wanted to do two things outside of our base rules, so he put those inside of the rules package that also had the rules for bringing bills like the popular SAVE Act to the floor, knowing members would be afraid to vote against something associated with SAVE. THIS IS INTENTIONAL. The Speaker wanted to circumvent the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to avoid voting on tariffs and he wanted to turn off the ban on bringing a spending bill to the floor the same day it’s introduced. The first rules package that came to the floor this week failed because myself and other republicans objected to it. The rules committee met again, wrote a new rules package without the tariff-trick, and we voted on the second rules package. I voted no but internet goons, like clockwork, characterized this as a vote against the SAVE Act. The swamp used that second rules package to give them authority to pass a bill before anyone could read it. They hid that authority inside the rule for the SAVE act because they knew people like Laura and Greg would help them disparage anyone who didn’t go along. If you fell for Laura and Greg’s slop you were cheering for the Pelosi doctrine that we should pass bills to see what’s in them. If the rules package had failed, the rules committee would have written a better one and SAVE Act would have still come to the floor.

How smart is Grok? About as good as an 8-year-old accountant. I tried to get Grok to give me a running total of my credit card bill via a CSV of the debits and credits. First, it skipped a bunch of rows with "see more rows" that didn't open up to show them. Next, it didn't properly subtract credits from debits. I tried twice telling it they were in different columns, it still couldn't handle it. And THIS is what is going to take all of our jobs soon?

One thing easy to forget for Texas Longhorns chances: The ACC champion and a Group of Five champion both have dibbs on a spot before Texas.

If the Texas Longhorns leapfrog a team to get into the playoffs, should it be Notre Dame? They lost to the two best teams they played with a much weaker schedule and no signature wins like Texas.

The universe doesn't want me to buy a 3rd Power amp. First, I was checking out a used Dirty Sink in Guitar Center but the amp wouldn't produce sound. Next, tried to buy a Kitchen Sink. It was delivered without tubes and when GC put the tubes back in something in the amp blew. It's a shame because I have a feeling the 3P Kitchen Sink would have been mindblowingly good.

Even crazier, according to Grok (using Pro Football Network data), SMU has a 55% chance of beating Virginia should they meet in the ACC Championship game. And yet, Virginia has a 49% chance of making the playoff while SMU has only a 25% chance according to websites putting odds on that. That math don't work.

The next time you hear how AI is taking all our jobs in 5 years remember this: Co-pilot just chided a programmer on my team for using a July 2025 date in mock data stating that the date is “in the future” and he should use a July 2024 date instead. Maybe AI should learn to read a calendar before we commence with the mass firings!

Why is Windows this bad at a touch screen after all these years? At least have the decency to steal good ideas from others.

It's easy to deduce that some Republicans in Washington (along with some Democrats) are in the Epstein Files evidenced by how they capitulate and how they've circled the wagons around the release. But how many people in the media are also in the Epstein Files? (Dem and Rep...)

Dexter: Original Sin was way better than Resurrection in my opinion. Maybe they should just do Dexter: Reincarnation and he can come back as an elf who only kills criminal dwarves. comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/…

Are they now saying that keeping up with your inventory in D&D is too difficult?

Let me just put this out there: Please don’t encourage more places to “suggest” tips during payment. It’s gotten totally out of hand. Dems. Republicans. We should all come together on this one!

Gotta remember that 80% of what we have heard is from Micah's side. And I sincerely doubt they reached out with "empathy" to get a deal done after demanding a trade. Antics on the sideline doesn't suggest someone in it for the team. Basically: There's unknown stuff here.

If Micah Parsons were a QB, the fans would be cheering his trade. Imagine if Dak had played 4 playoff games and only thrown 3 TDs in them. That's about the same as Micah's 1 sack in 3 playoff games. I love what Micah brought to the team, but he didn't get us over the hump.
