The first day that a developer is born, they are married for life to the machine. There is no second. For they are all consumed by the very thing they chose to create.

@s8n Jokes aside, the commentor makes a good point. It’s not untypical that Americans tend to expect people from other countries to know and speak English. Not everyone necessarily feels that way, but it’s something that does happen possibly because of the prevalence of English

One thing I've got to say about Windows: it is an incredible piece of software. Love it or hate it, the fact that it runs on so many different configurations of machines (with different versions of drivers) is pretty wild.

@theapplehub The whole android vs iOS debate is moot. The OSs are virtually the same at this point… and generally no non-tech person really cares about the fine details. It’s only the loud minority of users that really give a care.

@Pilestedt In all due respect, I love your game and Helldivers 2 is incredible, but this trend that the industry has been doing for some time… to require links to external 3rd party accounts contributes to a bad user experience overall. It’s not a bad experience for each individual game

@DnDBeyond This still does not address OneDnD and how the future products will be licensed. The SRD could not be licensed other than under CC, due to game mechanics not being liceenseable (it is appreciated that the core is CC). All future products should (not just 5E) be under OGL1.0a.

@DnDBeyond How about not breaking something that was working to begin with? It's not even a question that the decision was made to change the OGL due to the potential of "unrealized margins" that WotC could further profit on.

@theapplehub @WSJ Really unfortunate. I really like my Apple Card. It was straightforward to use and pay off regularly. Additionally, it was great for financing Apple products on. The benefits are good too. I hope they find a new partner to work with.

@nytimes Though it is a disappointment (selfishly I admit), I expected this sort of outcome. The pause was a reasonable response to the Covid outbreak in order to bring some assistance during that state of emergency, but the exercise of using an executive order to forgive the loans

@Wizards_DnD Still no transparency on the process of drafting a new OGL. Shame. And you're still going to go through with revoking the original OGL. This should be 100% transparent and under review if it's truly to protect the community and the game gping forward.
