Saab Gripen. I believe that’s one of the Swedish camo schemes but can’t be sure and don’t have time for more research RN.

This concept should’ve been a slam dunk, and they blew it.

My next game of Cyberpunk on Sunday.

the LDS church controls $8.3 trillion in wealth. They could afford to flood Ukraine with biblically accurate fighter jets. These would cover more ground than bicycles in c/noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Okay, so I’m not a big fan of the LDS church, but can we talk about how unironically hard that Hornet regalia goes?

Any Sins of a Solar Empire communities? in c/games@lemmy.world

My own instance is fairly narrow in scope, and I don't think I can add it here. Is there a way to post a community in another instance?

As far as I remember, Dragon Age has been real time since Origins.

Any Sins of a Solar Empire communities? (ttrpg.network)
 

Since Sins 2 just came out today, I hopped on Lemmy and was wondering if anyone else around here plays it, and where you hang out?

TIL during the 2010 Commonwealth Games small monkeys roamed the Delhi streets and couldn't be removed because of religious reasons. So instead a larger species of monkey (The Colobinae) was brought in in c/til@lemmy.world

Theater of the Mind Exploration Advice (ttrpg.network)
 

I am looking for ways to improve my exploration gameplay in a Theater of the Mind type game where there is no map and no need for detailed environmental descriptions, if that makes sense; I don't want to have to keep track of corridors and turns, and that sort of thing.

Ideally I would like a system or ruleset that allows me to randomly generate interesting exploration gameplay without relying on having to map out everything. Preferably system agnostic so I can use it in various games.

Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking for, but would like to see alternatives that are a bit more in depth, or have more options:

TIL Adenosine is an organic compound that, when injected, stops the heart for a few seconds and is used to treat heartbeats, that are too fast (140-250bpm), in effect turning it off an on again. in c/til@lemmy.world

Is this the stuff that causes the “impending doom” sensation? That stuff’s weird.

TIL that in 1563, Johann Weyer argued against Witch hunts and instead that the accused should be treated as having a mental illness. in c/til@lemmy.world

I remember this guy. I cut off his friend’s head and stuck it through a mystic portal.

(EDIT: Referencing the game Amnesia: The Dark Descent)

TIL there are three types of tears: basal, reflex, and psychic. Psychic tears, produced when we're sad, contain leucine enkephalin, a natural painkiller that helps us feel better. in c/til@lemmy.world

Psychic Tears - That’s a good band name.

The DM tools were where it really shined; I’d love a modern game with that kind of support.

I haven’t seen much of anything about this game; what’s with the radio silence?

Original Sci Fi Flag Idea - Discuss and Critique Please (ttrpg.network)
 

I came up with an idea for a flag of an interstellar federation for a Sci Fi project I've got floating around in my head. I don't think anything much will come of it, but I figured I might as well share my flag idea with you guys and see what you think.

The Flag of the Neo-Terran Federation is as follows: A deep blue field with a single black pile in the top quadrant. It has a center charge of a golden Phoenix, in a stylized form similar to Art Deco, the leading edges of its outstretched wings following the lines of the black pile. Beneath the wings of the phoenix are a number of Stars equaling the systems of the Federation.

I would like to know what you think of this design, as well as what you can infer of the federation based on its symbolism; mainly to make sure I got the symbolism correct. If anyone wants to draw and post this, I would be thrilled to see it.

Pathfinder.social instance trouble (ttrpg.network)
 

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I don't know where else to go. I'm having trouble reaching the pathfinder.social instance; I can't seem to post, or subscribe to their communities. Is anyone else having issues?

Considering Starting Linux (ttrpg.network)
 

I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux.

I obviously don’t have much of an idea where to begin, other than that I’m currently also trying to learn Javascript. I'd like a basic workstation I can code on and mess with, that doesn't run more than a couple hundred. Could use some recommendations for hardware plus where to begin.
