  • Thanks so much for sharing! You gave me some good info to start looking into. I appreciate your help! I was getting a little weary of Proton when they announced the AI nonsense and now the crypto wallet really seals the deal. Doesn’t feel good knowing my money is going to develop buzzword features instead of fixing the existing issues in their current products.


  • Do you mind expanding on this? I recently moved away from Gmail to Proton in an attempt to be more privacy conscious and don’t really know of any alternatives. Even at a paid tier I only use Proton for their email services.

    I would say I’m generally tech savvy but new to the whole privacy space. What better alternatives are there?


  • As someone who has previously worked in the wireless industry for nearly a decade this is unsurprising. I worked for one of the Big 3 at a third party retailer and saw all kinds of shady things. From aggressive sales tactics to hostile management and straight up fraud. I was constantly getting in trouble with upper management because I refused to “live in the shade,” a term they used for committing knowingly unethical acts. The only reason I didn’t get fired (despite numerous threats) was because my sales numbers were always up to par. Turns out treating people with respect and keeping to your ethics was an equally effective way of hitting consistent numbers.








  • I’m currently involved in three different 5e campaigns!

    The Scorn of Melchior: A homebrew campaign I created for my fiancee and her siblings that we play weekly! It’s my first time DMing and I’m still pretty new to DnD so it’s a bit of a learning curve! I have a lot of fun with it though!

    Under the Midnight Sun: I’m playing as a College of Whispers Bard. Each session (or 2) is a new heist and we do downtime planning in between sessions. Currently running about twice a month! It’s a lot of fun, my character is very much playing a seductive street magician who relies on slight of hand more than actual magic for her tricks and uses it as an excuse to swindle her audience. Also in our canon, College of Whispers is not quite a traditional bard school and more the result of a curse that is spread to each member by a previous member.

    Quaybound: A weekly guild ran out of a local board game cafe. It’s a weekly one shot with over 60+ members that rotate out with multiple DMs. It’s a lot of fun! I’m playing a Great Old Ones, pact of the tome Warlock. Since it’s weekly one shots backstory isn’t too important however I did make myself my own Shadow Tome spell book that contains all my spells and cantrips as well as character sheet that I bring with me each session to reference! It’s a lot of fun!









  • Honestly the way you described it has me hyped too! It seems like a really cool premises and story wise seems like they’re going back to their roots a little. I loved FFXII so no judgement here! Also the icon battles look so intense! I think it’s a pretty good way of integrating them into and Action RPG, I liked the summons in FFXV but I felt they were a bit too static and didn’t quite fit into the combat system that well.



  • You know, I try to keep an open mind and try to understand how the other side could come to the conclusions they do, but sometimes they really make it difficult. I genuinely don’t get how this could be construed as anything other than malicious. What’s the benefit in this? How is this “thinking of the children?” How did a political party come to represent views that are so aggressively anti-humanity? It’s such a bizarre platform to attach yourself to so proudly and openly.
