yes, chicken pox can be more harmful to adults

measels more bad the younger you are, chickenpox more bad the older you are

this one is more in detail

0,2 percant children in the us in the 80s / 90s and perhabs up to 25 % in 3rd world countries with lower healthcare standarts

so across europe 40000 cases in 1/2 year thats aprox 80000 the year, without the cases that were not in official numbers, means min 160 deaths that could be prevented, and thats in countries with a higher standart. and this does not include other complications. It's a preventable risk. In 2013 aprox 140K people died of measles. If I can vax my child and give him immunity for life and prevent risks, I will do it

Breitbart article can't really say and the original is behind a paywall. And because Breitbart can't say i assume it's utter nonsense this guy pulled out of his ass and padded it with SJW progressive word salad.

I assume it's perhabs because DnD has different races like we have in real world and because it seperates those race in game and it was a hobby dominated by white males for a big part in the last 40 years this and the race separation perpetuates a system of racial distrust that pushes the priviledges of white males. Perhabs like a nerdish divide and conquer of the gaming community ?

What ? DnD is a fantasy ? There are no wizards and dragons and hot elven and dragonkin chicks ? Damn ... what disapointment ...

@Mal exactly this, applies to everything: Chess - what loosers, substituting real world glory for the conquering of some small pieces of wood. Playing cards with friends - what loosers, substituting real world glory for the conquering of some meaningless paper things. etc

And btw. these were esports guys, in e sports you play in a virtual world an gain real world glory

This person is either a troll or one of these no fun people.

Or one of those soccer moms, that tell you that your video games are meaningless and a waste of time and then storm on the playing field and try to lynch the referee because he decided a penalty against the team of her 6 year old which is the worst thing ever, because this cruel descision will scar him and his career forever

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 There is nothin wrong with that. I believe Mark Twain said it: Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted.

I don't know the man, but I like his attitude a lot

it's all work in progress, i'm sure they used two differend game builds for the trailer and the demo and depending on when the trailer was made there could be weeks between the two

But just in case to be sure, always remember: NO PREORDERS

no more preorder for me, got burned with Aliens colonial Marines and then again with Battlefront 2. Never again ...

the only thing that I "preorder" at the moment are kickstarters I support

yeah, that's understandable. But no more ticket for the hypetrain+

My GF preordered the Pokeball for the new Pokemon on Switch, just to have one saved and if it looks to be shit or we don't want it anymore, she will cancel it. But this thing will be sold out

Well, economic help ia always good and it's not bad to later get out something for the incestment, that's just natural. But in Chinas case, i don't know, China is running an extremely agressiv expansion politic lately, in economic and geopolitic sense

And while evrybody is scared of russia, nobody seems to have an eye on china

Yeagh, saw the video this morning, just disgusting. But the only thing that really helps is to vote with the wallet. I think it's time to write down that company blacklist and pin it near the monitor and stop buying until some change comes 😩

Yeah, but really big nuclear superpowers with economic problems may do stupid things, especially if they are already doing a territorial grab

Russia annexed the Krim and got away with it

@jigantie You are doing it right XD

Wathced the videos by ArchWarhammer. And this is so fucking STUPID ! Why would you let people play at your table that can't handle the game. Vampire is a game, about bad people, in a bad world, who do bad things and have even more bad things happen to them, their families, their friends and even their dog. And then they go full John Wick and the circle starts again. That's why you talk to your players BEFORE you start a game session with them. BEFORE you make characters. Right when you ask them if they want to play the game. That's the moment you tell them this is a game about bad people, vampires, monsters, murderers and that there will be murder, carnage, really bad things and stuff. And if they are not really okay with this YOU 👏 FUCKING 👏 DON'T 👏 INVITE 👏 THEM 👏 TO 👏 THE 👏 GAME ... BECAUSE IT IS NOT FOR THEM !

If you see that some and I saysome meaning very few, scenes or scene descriptions are a bit too graphic or extreme for a palyer, you can tone them down, no harm done, but If you told the player, this will be about murder, rape and bad peopel in advance and he later can't stand murder, rape and bad people, then the player has to leave the group because this is not for him ... AND NOT the group and GM turn the game inside out just to cater to one player.

nahnahnah, you haven't tapped your little red or yellow token or used sign language to telegraph your feefees, you are not doing it right

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] This remembers me of two anecdotes: The first one is that the White House used to have a rat problem, until theodore Roosevelt decided to tackle the problem, bought two terriers and a gun and started to hunt the rats. After that, no more rats in the White House.

The other one is from my grandmother, when she was small and lived on a farm, they used to gather allthe man, adult women, and dogs, got clubs and pitchforks, tied their shirts and pants shut and drove all the rats out at least once a year and killed them off. How she described it, it must have been quite the show with a LOT of rats.

Just because I am curious: What Systems / Games do you all play regularly ?

I / me and my girlfriend we play "The Dark Eye", "Pathfinder", "Call of Cthulhu", "StarWars Edge of the Empire", "Vampire the Masquerade" and "Classic Battletech" tabletop game

And because of the hype we will have a look at Cyberpunk 2020

Something I made for myself, drawing of my SW RPG character.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZIB9WzX4AAzwmG.jpg

Man, I have to take time to draw again in fall. Last 6 month were bad, too much work at my workplace 😩

!rank

why not

I wanted a yellow alien, but my girlfriend got a blue alien and blue and yellow does not go well side by side

Damn you're right <:high_iq:382980759012638731>

Yes, the makeup she wars on those article photos is not really positive for her

@Deleted User That's some pro level moodkiller here 😛

Rose Leslie Level red hair and blue eyes ? https://imgix.ranker.com/user_node_img/3111/62206758/original/rose-leslie-photo-u11?w=650&q=60&fm=jpg&fit=crop&crop=faces

Aww come on, redheads having no soul is an old prejudice.

They only steal souls and forevery stolen soul they get a new freckle

Same interests, same humor, same kind of crazy, her eyes and smell

Only had a link at hand, I will try with a picture later at home

Soooo ... gingers are the ones who steal souls and redheads don't ... good to know

it's like edutainment here

I think warplan red is a very very interesting thing, because it shows how high the tensions between britain and the USA were at the start of the 20th century and still they managed to get together and the US joined WWI on the side of the Brits and french

@Uglypatch those look cool man

@RMS_Gigantic International politics, why can't it just be easy 😜

@Reaps She is putting names on the list of all the people they will put in the gulag once the Socialist Revolution is over.

@Mips What is FTD ?

@Musica It's an interesting article with an interesting conclusion, BUT the sample size is rather small and not really reprsentative

And you have no control of how the professors they send it to would have reacted to a candidte of the opposite sex

they may just have at random picked profs that would have paod less and those got the female ones

@Reaps This reminds me of the S.L.A. Industries RPG. There you can buy all the guns, but bullets are expensive as hell because they tax them like crazy, like 25 $ per assault rifle cardridge. 💸 But @ California, how do they want to do this, make them expensive like hell so only rich gangsters can buy them ? Or make people aquire a liscense for ammunition ?

haven't read this one myself and haven't played a ship based campaign. But just by flying over this doc it seems to go very indepth with the ship management and combat rules. There is the question how far and deep you want to go with this stuff, because if the layer of additional rules and management is too thick, it may take the fun away.

And if you go for it, go full for it, like the kingmaker campaign, make the ship their home, let them personalize it, invest in it and then let them harvest benefits from it

Make this their Millenium Falcon, let them modify this old rustbucket XD

okay, enough rambling from me

XD

Just a quick thought I had, something spiritual. Could you argue that someone who identifies as a fursona / animal, could be reincarnated as a human and in the last life he was an animal and some part of being an animal stuck to the soul and moved over into the new life ?

He is the enemy of the leftist state. They tried to ban and censor him and with success. and now, because there is not enough political pushback, they will try to do it further. and then again, more and more. Because they have seen, that they can get away with it.

We are near a dystopian future, where a cabal of rich companies with an agenda and a lot of money, who own the new social and old classical media can nearly completely ban and censor you.

Now it's paypal, next may be the credit card companies themselves, refusing service to him, because they can, as written in their contracts.

He is their guineapig and their experiment is succeeding

All the conspiracy theory nuts were right in the end. There is a conspiracy, but it's not Aliens or Illuminati, it's in Silicon Valley with the big Techcompanies ...

Okay, that was a bit dramatic. It's just a political Cabal pushing an agenda -.-

Yup, everyone who says something against them is alt-right (that's practicly a Nazi) and only spewing out hate speech. And Now we showed that they are all connected. Planning their hate and cooperating in creating hate. and we all know what we have to do with people who create hatespeech ... right `? RIGHT ? ... or are disagreeing ? I can sense some hatespeech there am I ?

And It's the same as with those Mass Ban lists. You are banned by people, because you one 3 years ago retweeted a tweet of someone with little cute kittens doing cute kitten stuff. But now, because you retweeted it, you have a connection, you are part of the network of hatespeech.

It would be funny as hell if it wouldn't be so damn dangerous and concerning. <:pepe_eyes:378719408362881024>

I want the good old times back. When the Internet was fun and only for Cats and Porn 😛

nah, it's more like it gave every retard a loud voice that can be heard everywhere

and the retards are sadly the ones that cry louder and more than anyone else

Well he said the people on top are the leeches ... well thats the way it is and was in every society. It doesn't matter what you try, in the end someone will always find a way to put himself in a position at the top and try to leech of the stuff everybody else build for society.

@Fitzydog I think this is not only in capitalism. It will always accour when you have systems to help people. somone will always try to leech of it or to scam it. The problem is lack of controls or lack of enough money / people to enforce controls. And today you have too many people who too freely give away this help, that is paid for by society. But I think this could also happen in socialist or other societies.

@Fitzydog depending on which side of the leeching you are for sure 😛

@Fitzydog Thats the proof, capitalism = best society ever XD

I don't care what Communism will give me, because real Communism will never happen

Because people are cruel here ?

Haha wait until he survived first day of school XD

I don't think it's only the wokeness. It's that they tried to handle too many games and IPs at once and overall gamequality suffered. And there was too little investment to push quality, like no new gameengine that supports physics and stuff. general mismanagement not only woke mismanagement.

But nontheless it really sucks for the employes that now have to suffer the consequences

Isn't anarcho capitalism the kind of society, where you could be beaten to death in the streets while the police will do nothing, because you didn't pay one of the policing companies to protect you ?

so anarcho capitalism is a cyberpunk world like Shadowrun ?

as long as i can keep my takeaway coffe cups

everyday is bring your own straw day

@Deleted User <:high_iq:382980759012638731>

Well, the SJW leftism and leninism/socialism try to hit the same chords, no wonder they go hand in hand,

@Deleted User that's not very inclusive of you

@Deleted User I wonder when the first one is screeching because the gang rapists raped all her friends, but not her. And she want's them punished because of inequality

@Deleted User That's because even in a subhuman monkey, the eons of evolution show in their genes and they ignore the one that is obviously the worst pick to put your genes into

@✿ Mittens ✿ didn't know you could get a Marx plushie XD

@Dwarforn problem is, that the sjw-left has no interest in this form of discourse

@Deleted User there is still a left, it's in the same box with all the others that are called nazis

@M4Gunner no, it would interfere in animal migration patterns
