I get super frustrated with people who think that D&D is some kind of grand story-telling game, and that all RPGs are like D&D.

Because it's not a storytelling game. It's a combat simulator, with some light storytelling elements.

...I wonder how many people have been pushed away from storytelling games by their first experience with them being a crunchy combat game...

a problem I always have with syncthing is that at some point during set up both of the devices that I'm trying to sync will say the other one is disconnected, and I have no idea how to make them connect again

@popefucker@cybre.space I didn't realise that was available for phone, thanks for letting me know!

@Fenreliania nice!

@Fenreliania i'm alright!

how are you?

I need to figure out how to backup my photos... they're on my phone, but the cable thing on my phone is breaking and I don't trust it for transferring files

@a_breakin_glass I'm ok!

@Fenreliania hi!

@a_breakin_glass good morning!

@witchfynder_finder ::<

I hate when that happens in games...

@Tarale D::

@NicoleTheLizard@queer.af it's apparently pronounced similarly to the vowel in Swedish "nöt"

(but not the same as "nött")

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-mid_front_rounded_vowel

@NicoleTheLizard@queer.af depends on the language you're trying to pronounce

of course this actually makes sense - it's a standard for writing only:

"The government does not regulate spoken Bokmål and recommends that normalised pronunciation should follow the phonology of the speaker's local dialect."

So Bokmål is "officially" pronounced the way you would pronounce it.(usually [ˈbuːkmɔːl] according to wikipedia)

@vudw oh jeez...

"Bokmål (literally "book tongue") is an official written standard for the Norwegian language, alongside Nynorsk. Unlike for instance the Italian language, there is no nationwide standard or agreement on the pronunciation of Bokmål."

I can't believe there's a standard for a language.... that has no standard for the pronunciation of its own name
