Welcome to Nepal this week. We're starting off in Kathmandu and the joy of walking around some marvellous temples with a camera. So much to work with. So much inspiration.

Wow, it's great seeing more of the Internet Archive back in operation. I was so disgusted at what happened to them. This amazing library helped me to find electronic copies of out of print books that I've wanted to read for decades. These are books that I honestly never thought I'd be able to read, short of purchasing used copies of the books and spending hours of my time scanning them. I can't express enough my thanks for the hours of joy I've received from this service after finding books that I thought would always be inaccessible to me as a blind reader.

Our DM is experimenting with giving us players more free rein to suggest aspects about the world and especially stuff that concerns our characters. He's finding it's more fun for him if he gets to enjoy what other people add to the story.
I think it's fantastic, but it's difficult to foster that approach in #DnD. It's not really built for it. Of course, at this point the version of "D&D" we are playing is so homebrewed and tweaked that it's eventually not going to qualify as the same game.
I wish they'd just be content to sell books with cool, creative content instead of trying to somehow gain control over the *game* itself.
You can own the license to publish official D&D content. You *cannot* own D&D.
Blame Hasbro and their investors for fundamentally failing to understand the D&D community, and instead wanting to tightly control and monetize it in search of the greatest profits.
Personally, I've been liking the campaign architecture of newer systems like Forged in the Dark or Apocalypse Word for using different ways of encouragement towards specific play styles. Even the way they use dice like 2d6 means you've got a better bell curve distribution of success. Or how "well, bad thing happened, but you can push yourself to resist the bad thing, but the pushing yourself adds up".

upside: No fuss about video and audio syncing or using propriatary OS and screen readers.
Downside: Well, this, I guess. Ideally I would somehow play streams as playlists in VLC and channel surf that way, but never in our corporate DRM-protected world.

I think you can check what comes on as well if you can get the schedual from the site and manage to import it somehow.
Hopefully they can fix it because when a dam piracy service does better than your actual leegal service, you know you have issues.

It's interesting how thin a skin the React crowd has. They think I'm being deeply antagonistic when, in fact, I've been holding my fire (and the confidences of consulting counterparties) for ~8 years. This has only served to make things look *better* than they really are.
The damage I'm seeing isn't just in the public sector, or limited to exceptionally bad cases. It's now ecosystem-wide, and JS-first culture owns a share of the blame.
But why do I care? A short thread.

My primary motivation is that I want the web to win.
What does that mean? Concretely, that means that I want folks to be able to accomplish most of their daily tasks on the web. A reasonable diagnostic metric is time spent as a percentage of time on device. JTBD fraction would be the natural leading metric, but it's wicked hard to track.
This phrasing – fraction of time, rather than total time – has the benefit of not being thirsty. It's also tracked by various parties.
Ok, but why?
The Archive is back! (In read only mode). Get to the things you love, and we will continue our quest to be dependable, clean up the mess left behind, and be there for you.

Gotta be ready!

Such joyful folks. Newari is the main ethnic group in this part of Kathmandu Valley.

It breaks my heart that so many buildings are still held with support beams, so much earthquake damage everywhere.
