My understanding of their desire is to be able to hold onto rights related to their settings and characters (and by extension you hold onto your own settings and characters) while forcibly sharing (SA) mechanics and to do this in a single license.

This is a goal that CC (BY) (SA) can’t solve simply due to the one license requirement. The intent was (though the execution failed) that you’d say ORC everything but <these names> and the result would be people could borrow the ORC mechanics and any improvements could be backported if it was good.

That said, I haven’t been following ORC very hard as I have no real interest in it. My own work I’m perfectly happy with CC-BY-SA on everything.

It’s not the worst thing. Like any other test there are more and less valuable methods. Imo, the hardest part is not coupling yourself to the incidental. All tests have that issue but UIs are almost entirely incidental. Styles, layout, and even data and function can be incidental and thus likely to change.

So so many unit tests I see don’t meaningfully test anything. It would be faster to just read the unit under test because the test itself presents nothing that you wouldn’t instantly recognize. Or the test is so tightly coupled to some arbitrary property that of course the test fails whenever you change something. UI tests at my current place are terrible for this, as they’re just comparing DOM structures so any change breaks it.

I know the second one is Bofuri, but the first one I don’t know.

Edit: a reverse image search suggests it might be an OC for a song: Angel with a Shotgun.

Luckily 3D piranhas are a lake thing and not an ocean thing. Also crocs are surprisingly a lake thing too. Really, just stay out of the depths and watch out for sharks and you’ll be fine.

Isn’t it like required for people who live by the ocean to wear a bikini 24/7? Or have all the low budget horror films been lying to me?

I’m quite landlocked but there’s plenty of lakes nearby. The nice thing with lakeside beaches is there’s usually a tree line pretty close by so you get both the sounds of water and trees blowing in the wind.

Next time I’m near a body of water with more than just mud at the bottom, I’ll be sure to give free-diving a try!

We’ve had one, yes, but what about second bikini?

Beaches are surprisingly nice places to read. Actually, I think I just like being near water.

That’s a little cherry picked. This varies wildly in the US. Just out of the half dozen neighborhoods I’ve lived in: outside of school being distant all but one neighborhood had everything else within walking/biking distance. Of the neighborhoods people I know live in (another dozen) again there’s really only one that stands out and there is a convenience store and school within walking distance.

I deleted the app and removed it from my browser home screen. I noticed I was still habitually clicking on the icon when I opened Firefox.

Cleanliness is godliness and you’re definitely a goddess. With a cute piercing too! Any importance to the stone?

When you have the total package, any choice is a good one. Though with hips like yours, maybe it has to be ass?

Fair enough. Though everything gets extra salt in this household already, ironically because of that very med.

I have an air fryer by proxy. Is that good enough?

Got a few options. Maybe I fall off a cliff while walking backwards. Visit the UK and get struck by a car. Or the Canaanite god of death. Hopefully, it’s quick.

I wonder if Summoner Eidolons might not just be the way to go then? They come in a variety of forms and Synthesist gives you a framework for how they merge with people. Obviously there will need to be some narrative restrictions in place to make the whole “it’s actually a mech” work but otherwise it’s at least premade and works with the Pathfinder rules.

In retrospect, I don’t know what else Witchburner could have been about lol.

That’s very cool! Hopefully a second edition gets made since that would be amazing to get your work included!

It worked fairly well. We went through a number of designs and that was the simplest we thought would work. There’s still a fair amount of difficulty establishing Aggro against groups but that’s basically a feature.

There’s nothing as frustrating as having time, sitting down, and realizing you have nothing. lol

That makes sense. An unwinnable war at the end of civilization is much more grimdark than having these big players moving and shaking things up.

Not for me personally, though I have wanted to do an end of the world tour as presented in Ryuutama as a black dragon campaign. The sort of thing where you can’t change fate, but you can scrabble together to see the ruins of the past and see how people have cobbled together something resembling a life even as the crops fail, the air and water stagnates, and the light of the sun dims.
