Read Call of Cthulhu 7e (And generally Lovecraftian horror) ! The part about how to run the game explain a lot on how to structure the scenario, how to create a sense of horror !

My advice :

  • Start from the end => how do you get to the end of the mistery ? Have a set of clues, handout you cam give to your player when they are investigating that allows them to reconstruct the full picture !

  • Hurt the characters personally => the cult of your RPG should try to scare away the character by hurting their loved one, they should be made dangerous to the player by directly hurting them! Show how unpredictable and dangerous this situation is :)

  • Lock down access to information => they need to learn about witchcraft ? They'll have to steal books, travel around dungeons and be the first to get the resources they need to counter the plan of the cult.

  • EDIT: Show the effects of the action of the cult on the world around the characters => unspeakable experimentations on the people of the city, and murders, property trespassed etc... This could be a hook!

  • (EDIT: About the hook) The party could be asked to help... I don't know... The Magic Academy (lol) to recover a dangerous tome of forbidden knowledge and this could be what lead them down the rabbit hole!

  • EDIT: TL;DR This should feel like a rabbit hole while you know exactly where they're going because you have lists of events, clues, riddles that allow them to get the big picture! Good luck with your project !

Use music made for Call of Ctulhu for ambiance !

I like classic menswear a lot and the way Donald Trump dresses clearly give a sense of trying to look powerful.

His tie is way too large and look like it's made of polyester (the red color is garrish). The shirt is okay but he doesn't take care of his body so his body doesn't care about his style.

He never wears a pocket square which demonstrates a kind of utilitarian mindset? "Why accesorize and wear something personal and tasteful?"

Joe Biden feels much less like a power suit and more like how he dresses. He wears suits that fit him and dress for his body type: his clothes work for him and make his silhouette stand out! (It's a big part of how the shoulder are made on the jacket)

This kinda menswear is pretty beautiful when you master it, it's just a shame that it's associated with "power". It's more about beauty, craftsmanship, and personality for me than ridiculous formality. It's also a lasting investment (you don't buy a sport jacket every 2 months, it's more like every 5 years) and it will fit you well.

Hope that mentality will shift with time but those conservatives are not helping the suit have the image it deserves.

Sorry I may not understand or don't have the full context but is it so bad your boss offered you a drink with him?

Like some sort of bonding right ?

I need a new phone but I want to do this right (sh.itjust.works)
 

(Please when answering, assume I’m not a beginner at privacy/programming :) I know where the good stuff at)

First off, shameful confession: I’m writing this on a dying yellow iPhone XR I bought second-hand three years ago (189€). I absolutely love the look of it: the screen, build quality, are all amazing. The only problem was the locked ecosystem (sideloading Spotify/Torrent client was sooo hard).

I saw the android phone of my mother dying really fast. She currently has a Xiaomi phone that’s ridiculously big for my hands, there’s advertisements in the stocks apps (?!!), the UX is janky and everything. It looks like a bloat, privacy nightmare.

So… because it’s impossible to find a jailbreakable phone nowadays I need to buy an android and ideally I would want:

  • Good screen (vivid colors)
  • Good build quality (not shitty plastic)
  • Don’t care about the camera (I don’t want those ridiculously big cameras they make nowadays)
  • Would want to install either GrapheneOS/LineageOS

The things that scare me off:

  • I really need my bank app and I need it updated so I have to use Google Play Services but I don’t want it to plague my phone with privacy bullshit (I want to be degoogled)

The things that excite me:

  • Customization possibilities
  • Learning experience
  • Even more privacy than a de-googled IOS phone :)
  • F-Droid!! (Maybe I’ll find a beautiful IRC client)
  • More choices for Mastodon & Lemmy clients
  • Freedom of free software.
  • client for open-source git providers :)

But to get all of that, I don’t want Google, I need shitty apps (non-free software) I have to install:

  • Instagram (for non-technical friends)
  • GitHub (job & open-source)
  • No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan
  • Discord (gamer friends)
  • Telegram (cryptobros friends)
  • Steam (because I still love gaming)

Any advices? Phone ideas? I’m so lost in this ocean of choice (freedom ✨)

When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc... some things bug me off. What do you think of it?

Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books? (sh.itjust.works)
 

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

When you create a torrent and you're the only seeder, what download speed can you expect? Is there a way to optimise this? (sh.itjust.works)

As in, the download speed you provide to the peers.

I've made a full archive of Yuzu

Hi I've made a full archive of Yuzu. That would include all their Github issues, the git repo on its last version, the latest available release binaries from the Github page, and all of their progress reports from the Yuzu website. The progress reports are good for understanding the general work and weaving a narrative in your mind about the trajectory of the Yuzu project, and the Github issues can outline resolved issues and outstanding ones.

I do not include any illicit materials in my archive. If you seek keys, roms, firmware, etc, you won't find it here.

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:404295db91d035ae11395ad1755ab7e5dc8b6f19&xt=urn:btmh:1220f2bd7dbfd7ec2e25c9e848cf0b17d771332e57e3ba109368e111c0a45967966e&dn=yuzu-full-archive&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.auctor.tv%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopen.tracker.cl%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3a451%2fannounce&tr=https%3a%2f%2fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3a443%2fannounce

While I'm happy to share this torrent for basically as long as possible, I do not have port forwarding available. So if anyone wishes to have these materials and possibly has a seedbox, please assist! Also this is like the first time I've ever created a torrent, but I'm pretty sure I did it right.

P.S. I am completely unrelated to Yuzu team members. I'm just a saddened user like everyone else.
