Yep, I am guilty of saying that. I suppose I am loud enough and animated enough when I say it that I am sure people get the point. And believe it or not I have mellowed out quite a bit.

I'm going to try GMing a session of Starfinder (kind of like Dungeons and Dragons, but in space) via Zoom this weekend. I've never used Zoom, though my daughter is a real pro because they used it a lot for school. I think it's going to be fun, and might be a way we can play more consistently, even after the quarantine.
Wrote this in another thread but meh.
In other news.. people are panic buying again over here. Yep... aisles are EMPTY of toilet paper again! Did we not learn the first time!
People are fearing a second wave and potential further lockdown as it's been double digits for case increases for a week or more now... they ended up restocking the toilet papers eventually last time, so people who bulk bought them didn't know what to do with all that toilet paper! Buy as per a normal shop people!

Maybe now is the time for the western world to embrace the bidet.
I'm imagining my old D&D DM screens arranged in front of the camera, so that's all they see on their end.
We've been using google hangouts for our sessions (none of us have paid for a zoom account). Definitely works and helps with consistency, but I enjoy that inperson interaction to much to stick with it. At least while all of us live within 20 minutes of each other.

My butt was never cleaner than when I was stationed in Saudi Arabia, where every bathroom had a bidet. I should say, every bathroom outside of ones that were made by us for the troops.Dude wiper 1000

That's hilarious. My plan is to use my laptop for my camera and to manage the zoom, and use my phone, clamped to the dining room light with a gooseneck holder, as a makeshift overhead camera so I can show the game board for combat rounds. We tested it out this afternoon and it works pretty slick.

Yeah, me too, but I'm honestly hoping this works well, even after Big 'Rona is behind us (if that ever happens). My friend is mobility impaired and has a lot of chronic pain. while he can come over to my place in normal times, he usually can't stay for more than a few hours before he's just too uncomfortable. So, over the last few years as his pain levels have increased, we've played less and less often, when I can get over to his place. I'm hoping that if he's able to be in his comfy chair at home, we'll have longer to game before he has to call it for the day.
How long have you been playing RPGs? Are you just a DnD guy, or did you play any others? When I was a kid, I played them all. Villians and Vigilantes, Top Secret, Boot Hill, Champions. I've been at it for a while.
you mean the US...Maybe now is the time for the western world to embrace the bidet.

I didn't see any in Germany or the UK. France and Saudi Arabia were on board with the bidet.
Probably about 10 years. I dabbled in a bunch of them, but the three I spent a decent amount of time playing is D&D, shadowrun and the star wars RPG (not sure it's official name, we called it edge of the empire since that's what it was when the beta first came out, and we haven't bothered adding all the extra stuff).
I actually tried a couple times on here to get a game going, but IIRC a bunch of people play but weren't really interested in doing the online thing or adding a new game on.
Ohhhhhhh THAT'S why people say it... always heard people say "I could care less" and it just did not make any sense haha..
they are not unheard of in Germany, and I think Spain has them as well.
you can always get a Japanese toilet....all in one go!
That sounds epic! Have only played D&D the once, but a space version would be crazy.. the imagination can go nuts with that!

Yeah it's a game based on a DnD variant called Pathfinder.

Hey, related to the D&D thing, do any of you guys who play RPGs use software to help? I used PCGen for a long time, and was glad to see that they're still updating the program and adding new things. I was even more glad to see that Starfinder was included. What, if anything, do you guys use?
DNDBeyond has some excellent tools. So does roll20.
Haven't been on here in like 3 days, and probably won't be for a few more. Just wanted to stop by and let everyone know that my wedding went off well. Problems occurred both before and after the ceremony, but the wedding itself went without a hitch!
