The thing is, if I take a day off, the work doesn’t stop. So Tuesday will just be catching up on all the stuff missed on Monday. The only exception is national holidays where literally nobody is working. Honestly I feel it discouraging me from ever taking vacation.

I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner’s permit for driving, you can vote even if you’re under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.

That, the monospace font, and the heart button which seems to be identical to the upvote button, are all changes I am not a fan of. Otherwise it’s not bad.

Was he heavily involved in the film’s production? I’m not very familiar with how this movie was made, but a lot of the stuff I’ve heard about it gives me the sense that his style didn’t influence it very much (weird casting, lame jokes, etc.)

Rule 5: must be a topic of discussion

This is not a subject of discussion. It’s just OP saying “help me do my job pls”

Maybe ask them if they will let you post a bulletin in the store?

How about your posts on other boards that are explicitly for LFG (you mentioned posting on Reddit)? Did you see any responses there?

• Players assume their own identities rather than fictional characters.
• Gameplay is set in the players’ real-world locations, reimagined post-apocalypse.

Sounds like a neat idea. The self-insert aspect is interesting, but I wonder if it would limit the kinds of stories you could tell. How is character creation handled? Is it considered mandatory to create a character based on yourself, or is it simply a fun suggestion?

Also, how does the “gameplay is set in the player’s real world locations” thing work? Does that mean it’s harder to play online with people who are far apart? Does the game balance change if played by a group in a rural/urban/suburban/industrial environment? Or is it again simply a fun suggestion? These sound like neat ideas for making the game seem more unique and immersive, but I’m having trouble imagining how they would actually work in a way that would stay fun to play over and over again.

I have visited shops to find them full of Magic and other TCG players, but no role-players

Did you ask the people behind the counter at your LGS if they do TTRPG groups?

I have posted on relevant socials and Discords like the Discord server for a game store, local area RPG players Discord and FB pages, LFG groups on reddit and Lemmy and Discord

If you’ve done all that and you’re still not getting any bites as a GM looking for players, I’m inclined to think there is something wrong with your pitch that is turning people off. Usually GMs looking for players have the problem of too many players being interested. Maybe it’s because you’re looking for pen and paper players as opposed to an online group? Are there any unusual requirements you’ve put forth in your posts on these communities?

Some people might be a bit nervous about playing in-person with a totally new group. Perhaps you could offer playing online virtually with people in your local area first, and then if you all vibe, you could meet in-person after that.

I ran “The Haunting of Ypsilon 14”. It’s a solid adventure, though the reason for the players to stay and help is a bit thin. Once the players realized that something spooky was going on, they all were like “why wouldn’t we just leave?” I came up with something plausible enough for them to justify continuing to play, but they told me afterward that aspect was a bit immersion breaking. The actual scenario though was very effective at spooking them.

I played online using this micro vtt, since my gaming group is not physically nearby. I just used pdfs for the rules and the module itself. The one-page adventure format was surprisingly easy to run.

It’s entirely possible to use, enjoy, and benefit from Linux while also using proprietary software. Your attitude only hurts the reputation and adoption of Linux by perpetuating the notion that you’re either all-in or else you’re out. Your idea of “Linux the lifestyle” is a fantasy.

Make it a client side option

linuxcommand.org is a good resource for the command line specifically, and there are guides there for some other things like tmux.

Once you have a foundation of basic Linux skills, there are so many different directions you could go with the learning, it’s hard to write a singular guide. At that point it’s best to simply read up on different topics on the archwiki or similar resources.

This reminds me of a method of trying to evaluate art in an objective way. Basically you ask yourself 3 questions:

• What is this trying to do?
• Does it succeed in what it’s trying to do?
• Is what it’s trying to do worth doing?

If the answers to 2 and 3 are “yes”, then it’s probably a good work of art. This helps remove the subjectivity of “do I enjoy it?” when evaluating a work.

I would say the answers for Desert Bus indicate that it is indeed a good work of art. It succeeds in being a monotonous parody of a video game which makes a political statement about what games would be if they lacked any fictional elements or conflict. And I think the statement P&T were trying to make with this game was definitely worth making. Plus, we know from the amount of people who play it as a streamed challenge game that there is some desire for a game like that to exist.

Was your position like an adjunct? I’ve heard those can be a real scam in the academia world.
