Got any other info on that? You've got my attention, but also my doubt.

Just gotta get up off your ass long enough to make sure this problem will never make you get up off your ass again

This is why I hoard scrolls. I may only have two casts of Fireball prepared but I have 13 more scrolls of it in my bag. I don't want cool magic staves or fancy robes or rings, I want to spend my loot on scrolls. My DM hates me because I like to keep a significant percentage of the wizard spell list just on hand in scroll form at any given time. Need flight? Here's enough for the whole party. Got petrified? I have a couple Stone to Flesh here. And of course all flavors and types of attack spell to dodge resistances.

The only problem is that at higher levels things start to resist reliably because scrolls don't use your actual caster level for checks and saves. Pathfinder has an answer to this in the Scroll Sage subclass but dnd players may have to resort to light homebrew.

I'm thinking something along the lines of the Minecraft Lego sets for instance. Which, credit where it's due, were pretty cool.

Once you get bored of the base game, Slay the Spire also has an extremely robust and high quality modding community. I got around 200 hours out of the base game and then an additional 250 on top of that out of modded classes and setting overhauls.

StS: Downfall in particular is extremely high quality and was in fact so popular that it got its own Steam store page, like a free DLC would. Highly recommend.

Hades is a killer game for the Deck, I just can't get used to using stick controls. I put like 280 hours into M+K, it's a hard habit to break and Heat 11 isn't exactly the best place to learn a new control scheme.

My partner loves it though. They started the game on the deck so the learning curve is easier.

Disagree on HZD unless there were significant updates. I was around halfway through the game when I bought my deck, loaded it up on there to see how it ran, and uninstalled after about 15 minutes of never being able to make it over 15 FPS on lowest settings.

It's playable, if stuttery, in town and in cutscenes. When you start combat it becomes a PowerPoint. Which is a shame, because I really really liked that game, but I finished it on PC instead.

Monster Hunter Rise has been scratching that particular genre itch for me on the Deck though. Rise was built for the Switch so it plays on the Deck like it was born there. Smooth as butter.

Right, because nobody has ever studied military history. Surely there isn't a college degree path centered around it or anything.

There are a great many theories that are untestable and unfalsifiable. The existence of a God or a Creator is a hotly debated one, for instance.

I find it hard to believe that a website the size of Truth Social (i.e. pretty small.... They have a total of 2 million users, a generous 15% of them might be active. It isn't Twitter) managed to rack up $73 million in costs over a single year of operation.

I see two possibilities. Either whoever is hosting them is charging them a stupendously exorbitant amount of money to keep their website online, because they hate them or because they know they have Trump & Co in a vise and can charge whatever they want; or else a lot of "operating costs" look like the inside of various pockets. Perhaps both. Probably both, now that I think about it, though I suspect the latter quite a bit more.

There are a multitude of reasons to recommend against using Brave.

Personally I refuse to install it because the CEO and creator, Brendan Eich, unapologetically donates to right wing and anti-gay establishments. Many people refuse to use it because it games the users and advertisers with a proprietary cryptocurrency that isn't actually useful for anything except making money for Brave. Others refuse to use it because in 2020 Brave was caught adding their own affiliate codes and tracking data to websites in the url bar, even ones that were typed in by hand. That was eventually rolled back but it didn't help me trust them any.

Vivaldi is a better browser option, in my opinion.
