  • While more donations and contributors are always welcome, the thing open source projects really need to break through are project leaders and UX designers to polish the software to make it more appealing.

    Blender has come a long way in recent years by concentrating on these. There are also excellent videos by Tantacrul about his work on Musescore and Audacity after he made a video about Musescore and they got in touch with him to fix the problems he brought up.




  • I wish it would just be these small scale maintenance tasks with clear purpose and results. But instead it’s endless uncertainty and insecurity about your health and job and finances where you never know if you have done enough or if your efforts even matter. Keep grinding every day just to be rug pulled by something you could not have anticipated or have no control over. Descaling coffee machine is simple and rewarding: you see a problem, you have the means to address the problem, you do the thing and you have the satisfaction of a job done also reaping the benefits immediately.







  • My interpretation was that setting the soundtrack is a minor tone choise, you’re still going through the movie the GM has made for you. But if the GM is willing, the players may ignore or demolish all the plot points turning the planned Ocean’s 11 to Fast and Furious, or Taken, or Top Gun, or Armageddon except the PCs are the meteorite. Or skip the whole movie and make up their own stage play musical set on the next town over.

    EDIT: Everything devolving to Benny Hill still applies, unless there is an actual agreement of the tone everyone should try and uphold.


  • The GM has the power to present a heist, but unless the GM is really railroady, the players have the power to make it a ransom, a demolition job or just ignore everything and join the circus.

    One shots, like the few Mörk Borg ones I have recently played, have a higher chance of people doing what the scenario expects, but when a character is given a trait that they only eat named things, the player starts asking and collecting every NPCs name.
