You're welcome! My group enjoyed it for sure, I will say the companion app is a huge helper. We particularly liked how the rules aren't overly complex and easy to homebrew.

Definitely runnable without it.

I've only played Mothership for a oneshot (over multiple sessions) while waiting on a party member to become available.

We did not have TT/VTT. We had some visual aids, like the layouts of ships were sent in chat for us to look at. I don't think it really hampered the experience, and I have aphantasia so "theater of the mind" usually doesn't help me much lol. It was more than serviceable.

As someone who has played alot of Call of Cthulhu there is a distinct lack of Cthulhu. But I am presently playing Traveler and let me tell you something - there is A LOT of traveling.

Holy shit, 10,000 commits because each change was individual (I'm assuming automated).

Yes, but you're more likely to run into an irate person when you turn them away with a cart full of groceries then you are if you turn them away at the door. Plus it reduces the wasted time of employees who have to unload said cart.

Man, they just keep burying their head further. I still have Windows 10 on my gaming PC, and that's more because I plan on replacing it and will use that moment to transition to Linux, but up until a few months ago I could have been convinced to keep using Windows.

That was until they popped up a full screen ad in the middle of gaming, telling me my PC doesn't work with 11 but they have great financing options forn a 11 capable PC. Followed by my lock screen having ads of a similar nature. Fucking gross.

Or those scummy click bait ads disguised as related articles? They make my blood boil with how they prey on the vulnerable.

The comment calling spez a pig was originally a solution to a problem, hence the person replying in positively. The comment was edited by a script when the user left Reddit, so the solution no longer is there, depriving those who may be looking.

Disagreed. If it requires a server side element, it incurs an ongoing cost and a subscription can be justified. And to clarify, by "requires", I'm referring to the functionality, not having it shoveled in. And the price should be realistic.

Some apps do this well, Sleep for Android is an example that comes to mind. Free with ads, ad-free is an inexpensive one time purchase. You can also purchase additional plugin apps that add functionality that isn't required or even useful for most people. And finally, they have a cloud plugin app to let you backup your data, you can pay for their cloud subscription which is $2.99 a year, but you can also just use other cloud for storage like Google drive.

I'm an agnostic theist, I believe in the possibility of god(s) or god-like entities.

There is a quote I resonate with by Marcus Aurelius:

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid.

I haven't looked into Lemmy/fediverse philosophy so I don't know how viable it is, but I'd love to see some variant of "X subscribers total on known servers (y from local)" in the future.

Well, I don't really pay attention to and I'm sure they'll make browser extensions at some point. So not even remotely close to a priority.
