You have always been able to learn and use R, Python and Java. Some people are being kicked in the head with a bag of potatoes and are paying for it, and don't even want to acknowledge it 🧪

"soon" is my second favorite time for new tigers pages (after "now")

Lol, if I ever go to prison it sure as hell won't be for this place, I have better things to do with my time

It's true, they barely cared about whether or not any code worked before, but now I can't even do the part of the job that can actually contribute to system stability.

All for a piece of shit tech that is going to justify massive layoffs for the next few review cycles, because management that decide our layoff quota is so perfectly isolated from the truth of this thing.

I cannot do anything else, bc it will ask me for confirmation that it is reading its own config files correctly every twenty seconds, and there's no ping or notification about it, so I have to have it taking up screen space the whole time.

I'm now _forced_ to use claude in my day job: in order to remove some vulnerabilities from the tracking software, I have to run the same tool to generate prs. Can't fix them myself, apparently; I have to babysit a skill for two hours as it struggles to make one-line changes.

wow that is incredibly SHAPE

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

so also, a good strategy might just be "don't have one of those players", but then you have to stop treating everyone as good-faith participants and I'm not willing to do that :P

I had one specific player that just enjoyed making my dming hell; looking up obscure rules to lawyer and making horrible choices just to see how I could weave those choices into the world. I didn't know it while we were playing; he told me afterwards, that that was the only thing he liked about it

Yeah I'm gonna say it's a skill issue, on my end; I used to have a similar perspective and then I burned out while running campaigns and just stopped, for years, so I'm kind of describing my coping mechanism for getting back into it without it being my entire life

It ALLOWS great improv, but it's DM improv almost exclusively; it's hard to imagine a player feeling the same level of ownership in a campaign

yeah man. You could be living life like Beetle Moses, Too, if you weren't too much of a coward for the secret hair cut menu

All this to say "I dunno, I'm not an expert" lol. Mileage highly varies, and I kinda believe no one plays Official 5e anyway- everyone homebrews, whether intentionally or just via misreading rules

will find that none of their +3 swords or combat maneuvers are part of the game anymore; their character sheet will be 80% wasted space. A realm-game kind of _has_ to have relationships as a mechanic; maybe something like Blades in the Dark or GOLD TEETH's ruleset? (Haven't done either yet) 3/3

There was a bastionland.com or prismaticwasteland.com post (I can't find atm, might've been someone else) about how the "game" of DnD doesn't translate nicely to things like politics and realm-building; the verbs are all different. A party moving from "fight monsters" to "treat with lords" 2/3

Yeah, it's kind of muddy. The critique might be that DnD requires time processing combat actions, and systems with simpler combat resolutions can use that saved time on NPC or Worldbuilding instead; it's a change in "what is the focus point for players". 1/3

More interactions = more meaningful references you can make later on! But also, I haven't done one of those in a minute, and I'm starting a fresh one this weekend (west marches! 2 separate groups!) so I'll definitely know whether I'm right or not at the end of that 😭 3/3
