Millions of dollars also doesn't hurt.

We'll never know. This is all based on people's complaints online. Apple will never actually release how many were returned and for what reasons.

The problem with this article is that it's all circumstantial. Sure these are people complaining of problems and critiques, but we'll never get the full report of how many returns there actually are and why they were returned. That's just not data Apple will ever give out.

So they just let anyone write opinion pieces now?

Can you imagine spending all that money on a car and expecting certain features, only for them to change based on the whims of a manchild who gets his feelings hurt?

I bought wireless headphones about 4 years ago and haven't used wired since. Even when playing through speakers, in my car, and all that I just use Bluetooth.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. They aren't my favorite, but they're popular. Nobody else will eat the Almond Joy, so I can wait on those and just eat them when they're left over.

We use discord. My group is actually about 4 groups connected together with overlapping players, so it's a place we can all congregate virtually. We have a channel for scheduling, ones for in-game content, and some for just messing around.

TWIT is also my go to. Haven't missed an episode for over a decade. Used to watch Leo on Tech TV. A veteran of the industry that still keeps current, and he also is always bringing in younger guests and specialists to fill gaps and add different perspectives.

Could not agree more, and just came there to say this.

I work at a small retail store with an online shop. Multiple times we've had parents call us to cancel online orders where their kids purchased something using their parent's stored credit card info. Those things really should be locked behind a password.

 

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?
