As far as I know, this is no different than what Valve/Steam does. I love Steam and do 99% of my gaming through it, but I also know that if anything ever happens to Steam, my game library is like…gone, man. Unless you’re holding your game in your hot little hands, it’s not yours. You’re just paying for the ability to play it.

Welcome to late-stage Capitalism, kids.

God…imagine playing with a bunch of NPC’s with robotic voices that regularly fuck up the intonation and pronunciation of simple sentences all the time. There are few things I can think of that will break my immersion faster than this.

I think that’s a logical way of looking at it.

I completely agree.

This is actually a really great idea. At least until HeroForge figures out how many people are doing it, and then puts behind a paywall. ;)

I will never, ever make enough money to be able to pay an artist to do custom character portraits for me every time I need one.

How terrible am I if I use free AI image generators to make character portraits for use in VTT’s? It’s better than stealing human-generated artwork off the internet, right? It still feels cringe, though. :(

LotRO Companion looks pretty neat and useful.

I totally agree, and apparently so do a lot of people. :)

I absolutely love Shadowdark. I just can’t find anyone to play it with. Fantastic game, though.

I guess we’ll find out. If a viable option that isn’t Android or iOS comes along, I’ll use that. Until then, I refuse to play the game anymore.

I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to stop using Android. I don’t need my phone. Sure, it’s convenient and often helpful, but it’s not something I can’t live without. Fuck these assholes.

Oooh, this looks interesting. Thanks!

I was really interested in trying feedr, but got frustrated trying to install it and moved on to other potential options.

If I remember correctly, Akregator wouldn’t allow me to resize the text to make it more readable. Also, I believe it was having trouble downloading a few of my feeds for some reason.

That seems simple enough. I’ll give it a shot. Much appreciated!

Is this something that a complete newbie would be able to do?

Not meaning to ‘yes, but’ you…but… :D

1. You’re assuming that I know how to code. :)
2. I think the privacy concerns are from third parties somehow being able to use browser extensions to read the contents of whatever other tabs one has open. At least that’s what I’ve read.

Agreed. I tried Summit on a whim and found it to be a very pleasant experience.

In a heartbeat. Seriously, I’d do it for half the price.
