That reminds me, I need to read Night Witches, so I can run that at some point soon

also I've heard lots of D&D DMs say something like "oh, but you can customise the rules and the DM can make it as story-telling as they want"

And.... that's not really true. If I invited you to D&D, and you came over and found out we were playing a diceless game where the story was based around budding romance in a countryside post office, you would be very confused and feel lied to.

That's a story you could tell! But it's not one you could tell with D&D.

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

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

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)

"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
