My goal is to be a repository for non-commercial character designs that people can use freely in tabletop games or other non-commercial projects. I’d like to eventually provide a large range of adventurers and bosses, both humanoid and not, for others to use as hooks, inspiration or campaign ideas, and with your help I can make that happen!
More info about what this patreon is about is available on its page. If you like what you’re hearing, why not head on over and give it a look?
thinking abt how fucked up steam engine boiler explosions can look. theyre just pipes under there
gives me the idea of a ghost/monster engine that looks normal, albeit a bit battered, only to swing their smokebox door open and a myriad of pipes come bursting out like fucked up tentacles
I didn’t know a train could be an eldritch horror, but here we are.
Sorry to bother you, but do you know of any alternatives to Gmail/google since proton mail was found to sell data...?
I honestly do not, and had not heard that about Proton. Time for more research, I guess. I would ask @ms-demeanor if they have suggestions though, they are *very* knowledgeable about internet privacy, certainly more than I am.
Long story short, Protonmail does not sell data. They are sometimes compelled to share the minimal data that they have access to (IP addresses, subject lines, recipient, etc) as the result of court orders.
It is important to remember that as a result of the basic functionality of email, the hard limits of SMTP, email is not secure. You cannot encrypt certain parts of an email, so email providers are always going to have access to those parts of your communications and sometimes nation states can compel providers to collect that information and store it. If you need actually secure communication, email is not the right kind of communication for you.
That being said, Protonmail is still pretty much your best option for encrypted email, and PrivacyTools.Org still recommends it; if you want to use something else, check the other options listed by PrivacyTools.Org.
Protonmail is one of the best free or low-cost privacy tools available, and I find it extremely concerning that the myth of them selling data has persisted. Hell, after they were forced to comply with the request for IP Addresses, they posted a tutorial on how to connect to their servers securely so they couldn't log IPs. I feel like the longer this rumor persists the more people are going to stick with gmail because "oh well, nothing is actually safe anyway, even protonmail sells your data." They do NOT. Open Source and privacy activists continue to stand by Protonmail because protonmail continues to do everything that is legally possible to protect user data and provide encrypted communication.

can i say there's spice for flavor and then spice for just heat? i have a friend who is into hot sauce and constantly tries to get me to try them all with him and its just, after a certain point you don't even taste the sauce all it is is pain. or they taste bad because it's just meant to be hot.
Oh yeah, I'm talking about spice for flavor. Spice for heat is like, ehhhh, that's its own thing.
My dad thinks it's weird I put salt and pepper on my corn. To be fair he's gotten a lot more adventurous as he's gotten older, just slowly lol. I blame my grandparents. Love them to death but god they are very plain and basic cooks.
Sometimes you just favor extremely bland tastes from your childhood and it takes a while to move on, I guess. It's kinda interesting how it manifests!
The abuse you went through was not something you deserved, it wasn't punishment, it wasn't karma, it wasn't fate, it wasn't meant to be, you didn't manifest it, you didn't invite it. It was abuse. Even if people say you placed yourself in that situation, you still didn't deserve it, it was still wrong for others to abuse you and neglect you. It wasn't your fault. It was your abusers' fault.
i love villains. redeemable or irredeemable. don't care. putting them in my mouth.
have you seen that one video of a lady cooking her perfect chicken and rice dish and the chicken is literally whiter than the white rice?
I THINK IVE SEEN THAT YES. IT FILLS MY SOUL WITH HORROR
my dad told me he was a teenager when he first went to a taco bell and he tried the mild sauce and went into a coughing fit and had to chug his drink because it was too spicy. for context, his dad didnt even put ketchup on meatloaf.
Oh..............
If I see another food recipe blogger is is like "oh my boyfriend/husband loves when i cook this for him or i know how to keep a man!" and it's like random unseasoned boiled veggies, cardboard meat that doesnt look like it even got SALT, and for some reason usually as the other side is mac without the cheese. like. Idk I just wanna know how their brain works. Pick it apart like a frog in a high school biology class. Like we have a world full of seasonings and you chose to use none of them.
IT'S SO TRAGIC WHEN PEOPLE JUST...DON'T WITH SEASONINGS....LIKE WHAT HAPPENED. LET THE SPICE INTO YOUR LIFE
karl urban is lowkey a v slept on actor talent wise ngl
man EMBODIES every role he plays
Karl Urban is such a good actor that not only did it take me years to realize he was both Eomer and Bones, he played three different roles on Xena and I only caught one of them initially

I love it because it was a choice. They could have put the whole title in English, THE QUEEN. They could have put the whole title in German, DIE KÖNIGIN. Anyone writing at the spiegle speaks English proficiently, it was not an accident they choose chaos.
my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in
…i did read some of the novels, but i couldn’t get through them entirely…
…and so i genuinely have no idea whether or not this is serious. coz i mean, obviously, it could be a joke. but it could also have legitimately happened. people who have only seen the films underestimate the amount of random things that happen in the books that could come off as utterly silly and ridiculous if removed from their context.
Haha, well, it is pretty much what happens. Sam is looking for Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol and is despairing that he will ever find him. He sits down and does what any self-respecting Tolkien character does during their moments of hopelessness and bursts into song.
It’s a really good song (ten year old Ship had it memorized) and as he begins the refrain a second time, he hears Frodo’s voice answering weakly from above. Frodo is poisoned and despairing and beaten but he is still a Hobbit and cannot resist a singalong even while on the brink of death.
