The amount of money the US governemnt has spent rescuing Matt Damon from things is staggering.

Thanks, I hate it.

By the title alone, I though this was a joke app for cats.

PPSSPPSSSPPSSPPSS…

Oh, that one was a blast! I need to get my nerd herd to revisit it… Although all we did was play liars dice while the ship was on fire.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Classic.

Any landing where you can walk away from the plane is a good landing.

Any landing where you can reuse the plane is a great landing.

This was very helpful, you are an amazing human.

These may be answered elsewhere, but like some other interested people in this post, I fully intend on trying to load a copy of this when I get home from vacation.

What methods/devices do you use to upload/sync the data? Other than a regular smart phone, were you able to use other GPS enabled devices like garmin or apple smart watches?

And system requirements?

I would throw ferrets, weasles or trash pandas for the slot as they are known to like stealing things.

We used to do just that, google was where you went to find things. Reddit was where you went to tell other people what you found.

Now you google things on Reddit to find the post where someone else put in the effort to find something. Googles base results are such SEO garbage that niche things might as well not be indexed or gasp on the second page. Reddit itself has also become unuseable with the redesigns, old.reddit/ooer was more readable than the current UI/UX.

China has some odd cultural hangups around skeletons and such that I think would eventually work its way into the IP (see old video game releases and the state approved model changes they have to make for their versions). Thats not nessessaraly a bad thing, but it would be weird to see what gets changed.

I would be concerned if I cared for the IP. The thing is that Hasbro broke the public’s trust with the attempted OGL change along with many other bad decisions and my groups fully abandoned the IP for Pathfinder. BG3 really is only my last connection to the current edition, and even then its really only set dressing over the video game mechanics.

As someone who deeply cares for D&D as a collaborative story telling tool, an excuse to RP with friends and just play fun games. I dont care who owns it, ive got my old books and can use any framework to tell a fun adventure. As Hasbro proved in 2023, the hobby is too popular to kill and people will make rules forks if they feel like the owner has too much influence over it.

Careful what you wish for in that first requirement…

Ah, so this history teacher was a Sith Lord!?

We know… but can anyone really do anything? We reguraly get scientific breakthroughs that may help, but are too new to meet the scale required. We regurally hear PSA like “Recycling helps” or “Only you can prevent forest fires” but once again, the scale of the issue is far larger than paper straws or other feel good wishcycling programs. We reguraly see that the ~100 companies directly responsible for the problems not suffering any concequences, investigations into wrong doings are met with armies of lawyers, lobbyists (see bribery), and limp-wristed regulations with fines that are considered “the cost of doing business” instead of a penalty to be avoided.

For me, the fear and panic of impending climate collapse has given way to apathy and resignation. We know its a problem, its just that the scale requires real global action, its a global prisoner’s dilemma, and im not confident people will get it right.

This dosent really apply to SoT because there is no leveling mechanic. All “levels” do is unlock more cosmetics and more complicated mission types. If small, low risk missions are your jam, there is nothing stopping you from just being a delivery pirate. The only thing that comes with expirence is knowing the games quirks (like that you can load your self into a cannon) and 1 secret mission vendor.

American FP4 user here.

You may actually be fine, check the 5G bands in use with your national regulatory body and see if there are any missing parts. State side, T-mobile is the only carrier I can use and their 5G bands are missing pieces of what the phone thinks are avalable channels. It corrects them quickly enough for buffered data to have no issues but it drops calls randomly when switching towers… also T-mobiles network is sorta sucky…

If your country uses GSM, order an EU phone, slap in a sim card on a network that accepts unlocked devices and you should be good to go. If you are on CDMA, wait till Q1 2024 and order one from the states. There are plans to include a custom security and privacy focused android ROM with it, but im happy with my organic euro phone dispite its quirks.

You insensitive clod.

Seconding the Fairphone.

FP4 is coming to America in Q4, I ordered one from the EU last year and it will work just fine everywhere else in the world, it has quirks in the US.

Enjoy your organic smart phone.
