Nah, we'll just SELECT * from both tables and loop through the arrays in JavaScript to associate the records.

I love the magic system in Genesys, with just basic spells (attack, heal, augment, curse, etc), some varying effects with suggested flavor (e.g. "Ice" adds ensnare to an attack, but mechanically it doesn't matter if it is vines, goop, whatever), and how much that effect increases spell difficulty. It lets the players go into a brainstorming session trying to come up with a spell to get out of a very specific situation, and having the game support almost anything.
E.g. this create water idea could be an attack spell with the poisonous quality (making it a hard check), which requires the target to make a hard resilience check or take a bunch of extra damage and strain, which for a skilled mage against a non-boss creature (e.g. an overly ambitious bandit) is well within one-shot range. If they pass the check, they would still take damage from the attack, but would be able to cough up most of the water before it got too serious.
This system sounds very cool also, and I have recently heard of Mage in another thread. I would like to play a system that gives players the ability to come up with spells that the GM doesn't know ahead of time (I seriously dislike long lists of predefined spells), but also has a little more of that hard magic-science set of rules to satisfy my inner Sanderson fanboy. I have built in some external scaffolding around the magic in my Genesys setting that does this, and it has been a ton of fun so far.
My main gripe is that I wish I had more time to play RPGs (more than a couple sessions a month) so I could try out more systems.
But have you tried Outlook (NEW) and Teams (NEW)?? Microsoft made changes to deeply integrate copilot into them, while making the UI unintelligible and broken as well. It's a much more authentic Windows experience
Love me some Plasma. I'm still running the default styles after over a year as well. It's just nice.
I really should spend some time experimenting with customizations though
Yeah, every thing they say is "horrifying" about this, and that they call "AI gone wrong" is just describing exactly how LLMs work and what they are designed to do.
Like of course the AI doesn't have opinions on your actual writing - it cant! And of course it says whatever the user wants to hear, that's literally just describing what an LLM does.
As much as I get frustrated with AI companies pushing this stuff so hard, if users bothered to understand even at the most basic level what they were using, we wouldn't have these issues
It's beautiful <3
I do that too 😅 I'm getting better at avoiding the scary trigger words and getting them to agree with the principles
I'm the guy but instead of a pyramid scheme I'm just trying to get all of my friends to install Linux and switch to fediverse social platforms
Aunt Jemima was on the syrup. Mrs Butterworth is the syrup
Kind of frustrating that one of the main points against Linux is anti cheat, which basically comes down to Spyware that assumes you are a hacker if you run Linux, so the game publishers ban your account. That isn't a Linux problem, since often these are games that run fine on Linux.

Definitely recommend playing or replaying old games. I've recently put hours into replaying Morrowind and Jedi Academy.
The main game I've been playing lately is Mount & Blade Warband from 2010. Got it for a couple $ and have been loving it. I missed it when it came out and recently a friend had been talking a lot about how much fun it used to be.
I have played a few newer AAA games that I uninstalled after a few hours. Sure there's some great new games, especially from small publishers or indie devs, but there's a lot more slop like you said.
