One I made up for a caster who always missed their rolls was a sentient wizards hat ‘clippy’. “I see you were trying to cast Eldrich Blast, do you need help with that” and occasionally giving them advantage (they really were rolling awfully)

I was bad at RPing it though and that campaign ended shortly after anyway

It works on a beast with swim speed (doesn’t need to be a fish)

That would be wisdom! I tend to let it do that too as it’s funny

A funny one i found on Reddit:

Glasses of hindsight: provide a passive perception of 20 of events suitably far in the past

Be careful with magic items, I let my guys buy a trident of fish command… In a desert. But it turns out lots of snakes etc have a swim speed…

Great game, huge download. Can never get everyone on to play it because it’s so big and people keep having to delete it.

Nice to see WPF is still getting updates… And I guess windows forms

That’s stupid, notepad is meant to be simple…

That would require you to have chosen that path through the game for it to work though?

What level of different choices would they allow, or just do it as a stand alone?

The longer the game gets the more the combinations build up and the worse the replayability gets for many players due to the length.

Oh, ok, that’s annoying then. One of those cases where it feels like the person putting the course together has never actually interacted with children?

Is the fact that C# produced executables also a problem? With python you can ‘protect’ non lab computers at the school by just not installing the python runtime on them. Teach them c# and I guarantee they will be making executables to cause trouble.

Generally agree with you that teachers should be able to choose at least one of the languages to teach. basic web dev stuff is probably pretty useful to them though if it includes JavaScript?

I leant from scratch as my first programming language in year 12.

They tried to teach OOP in year 13, but I didn’t really get it until university.

This was years ago at this point, I think they introduced the programming GCSE the year after I did my A-Levels.

A scripting language like python is the ideal language to start with because you can JUST learn the programming bit without worrying about OOP, project structures, compiling etc.

Lots of us have the experience of being the kid in that situation though. I learnt python in secondary school.

I learnt to program in python (in year 12). It was pretty good:

• less intimidating than the languages full of braces/brackets.
• as it’s also a scripting language, you can ignore OOP and just write code.
• has lots of kid friendly drawing libraries (tortoise.py anyone?) so they can make things they can see on screen etc

PHP is native in Linux then?

How is that different to something like powershell?

Google spies on me, but actually provides useful services (other than search) for free (ish) in return.

Microsoft want money for everything.

The rest of big tech wants all your data for basically no gain.

I don’t trust Google, but for now the trade seems worth it.

It’s not a Microsoft problem

The British then forgot why they gave everyone citrus, screwed it up and started getting scurvy again.

I preferred when it was a full squared stripe instead of trying to round the edges. Own it if your going to do that.

(As previously mentioned, it allows them to have some of the best phone cameras and let it sit flat on a table)

Part of the problem is that most people will spend most of their time around people of a similar wealth level. They will therefore always be around people richer than themselves and generally see less people that are much poorer (at least in a personal context).

This means that ‘rich’ people don’t feel rich. (Unless they are self aware enough to realise it). It also means that your references for morals etc are now other rich people rather than ‘normal’ people (although it’s normal to them!)

Therefore, they always want to acquire more money, and their references for how to go about that are the richer people who have already done similar things.

Do Firefox forks support the same Firefox addon ecosystem, or do they have smaller selections/manual steps?
