@Tabletop_Deals I mean, there's also stuff for D&D players who want something different. Strixhaven really does manage to do D&D where much of the play is NPC romance, studying, and following up mysteries, and only a relatively small bit of it is dungeons and D&D-style fights.

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@StarkMaximum @Tabletop_Deals Yeah. The crossover is that there are totally MtG fans who are MtG -lore- fans, not just gameplay. For them, there's a bunch in terms of NPCs, deeper lore (sortof), and maybe a hook into/back into D&D which is the point. But for pure CCG players? Not for them.

@devSYN777 That's wage theft and you should sue. (I am not a lawyer, but you should be talking to one)

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@Batshua That was good but bizarre!

I don't know if this will actually be my last tweet or not, but you know what? I would be happy if this were so.

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@Sorcyress @dollbunyan Heh. Yes. Be generous to your partner(s). Always play for taking the losing part of 40/60 deals...or 30/70. Demand what you need, but also try to give them everything they want that doesn't conflict with what you need.

You'll fail, of course. But that's ok.

@pecunium Close to that; 29920. It comes down to whether you understand or can shade a few obscure words at the top--I was certainly running into words I didn't know and looked up after answering towards the end!

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@jl8e ... Yes, this is an accurate depiction of the game in question (although really, the character is more of a pet person).

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@jl8e LOL. Apparently humans are vanishingly rare and getting rarer (by percentage, at least) all the time!

@straczynski (which isn't to say it's readable or good -now-; gpt's writing is very turgid now even if well directed now, but I'm thinking later generations)

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@straczynski Yeah, that's the thing. If you're asking a chatbot to produce a story about, say "a mystery story about a dog" or something it's going to produce a soulless mess.

If you ask it to ghostwrite -your- story, then it's acting as a ghostwriter, which might be readable or even good

@c_estclairee @dressagedyke @JamesIntrocaso @spamvicious Yeah; if you can get pet insurance WITHOUT lifetime caps, that's NOT a scam and can be a very sensible decision for dealing with cat-astrophic care! (it's just that most insurance offers include lifetime caps)

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@RookTheBird @ZREllor I get the existential crisis. But I do think that over time, excietement about (and resulting abuse of) chat-GPT's mimicry abilities will fade. I don't know what's going to happen, but it probably won't be the most boring thing.

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@StevenBrust I mean, it's not true?

The ruling is is that a law protecting foreign states from civil suits didn't protect foreign states from monetary penalties if they commit US crimes.

It doesn't make them any more, or less, subject to US law.

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@dressagedyke @JamesIntrocaso @spamvicious @c_estclairee I don't have a problem with insurance in general. But pet insurance has lifetime caps and the price goes up if you use it. Sure, you might get "lucky" and have it pay out early, but with lifetime caps, it's a just a reverse casino.

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@womzilla Huh! I've tried hardback and it's good but VERY different; curious as to how they've changed Paperback.

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@veryheathmiller Congrats! And it's success; crow away!

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@boymonster Yes, but also the necessity of processing checks may make bank accounts less secure overall, reducing people's willingness to share their share their bank account and routing number as neither they nor their bank might catch fraud

[@[email protected] @mneme]

@boymonster Part might be that Americans also still write checks? Or does NZ still do checks and have other ways to secure them than secrecy of bank account numbers?
