Not accurate at all. You need a lot more paragraph, even better if you cut them every 2 sentences, and emoji at the end and beginning of every sentences.

If there is one thing I can proudly brag about is that I’m part of the Elite that have that running for several years. With few hiccups of missing sessions, and sometimes extra games on the same week as the “main” game.
For those stuck looking for groups, just start it yourself, you’ll be surprised how many people around would like to try and will probably like, but don’t want to start the thing themselves.
You already had good answers but I would like to add my two cents:
The “starter set” is the cheaper option (less than 20$). It has a small prewritten adventure, a set a prewritten characters of level 1 with backstory, and the basic rules you need for this adventure.
Good point for it: cheap, the bare minimum you need to dive directly in it, already contain an adventure so it’s easier for you as a new GM.
Bad point: it only contain a small subset of the rules, and will become “useless” if you decide to go further and buy the full books. Also, if your wife or kid do not like the pregen characters, you will not have the full rules related to character creation.
Then you have the core rule set already linked.
Good point: everything you need for a very long time, you will have all the rules to run anything you want. Other books are “only” going to add more options (spell, items, characters building options, ect).
Bad point: the price (120$), more information so it may be harder to digest everything and “get into it”. It does not contain pre written adventure. You will have to find one separate or make one yourself, there are some free options available.
On top of that you don’t need anything else exept pen and paper. Dice are of course greatly recommended, but you can start with some free phone app.
You want a slug-related traumatizing story ? I had a cat with very long hairs, there was a cat door to the garden outside but usually he slept inside. One morning i wake up and feel the cat close to me in the bed, something very common. I start to pet him on the dark being half awake only. After some time i feel something wet in his belly fur, but as I’m half sleepy I don’t react and keep petting him. Only after what was probably a long time, I realized that something is wrong, turn on the light and see a slug curled/trapped inside his fur, I was touching it with my hand for several minutes!
When called with n=1 ? It’s from i=0 to i<1, so it will do only one iteration with i=0 and print one #.
Yes, to better understand this you have to understand the “flow” of the program. Meaning the order at which the instructions are executed and not written.
Here you have the flow of the program starting from n =3 until the recursion reach draw(0), note that none of the for loop have been executed yet. At this point it reach the first “return” instruction and go finish the call to draw(0).
Then the flow go back to where it previously was: inside the draw(1) call just after the line calling draw(0). And it start executing the next lines of the draw(1): the for loop.
Then it reach the second “return” and proceed again until the whole program is over.
Yes, as I wrote when the method draw(n=1) finish the for loop that print one “#”, this call of the method draw return. Then the process start again from the after the line draw(n-1) of the method draw(n=2), which execute the for loop to print “##” and return. Then again you come back to after the line draw(n-1) of inside the method draw(n=3), ect.
You should keep in mind that everytime a draw(n-1) is called, the current method is “paused” until this call return.
You are looking at a recursive method, as you can see with the line draw(n-1) inside the draw(n) method. You can search for “recursive function” on internet for a better understanding.
Basically, the method draw is called a first time n = a user input, but then this method call itself with n-1 until it reach 0. So you can think as if function draw(6) will call draw(5) and wait for it to return before continuing, draw(5) call draw(4), ect until draw(0) that return immediately.
So then the order of execution will be draw(1) that print " #\n" and return, then draw(2) will proceed to print “##\n” and return, then draw(3), ect until draw(n).
People in the comment seems to not understand that it doesn’t mean average on the “scale of beauty/attractiveness”. But averaged features. Like if you merge all nose shapes of a million person you get this nose, ect.
It was tested already several years ago that people tend to like faces made by merging a lot of faces together and “averaging” them. Most of the time rating them more attractive than the individual faces used.
I don’t find the source anymore… I’ll check better later.
I would say that willingness to exploit other, be selfish and have low ethic also play a big role.
Work related project was a library for curves representation (polynomial, bezier, and a lot of other types) in C++. I liked working on it for several reasons. First one is that I could finally start something from scratch after years of working on legacy code. No dependency on strange old library from the team, only mainstream libraries.
But mostly it was because I learned a lot on this project. I had to mix template programming, heavy use of polymorphism, python bindings of the c++ and serialization together. I had experience in all of this stuff already, but mixing everything together bring a lot of new troubles and you have to understand how it works more in deep to be able to solve them.
I’m not making “famous” open source package with thousands of download and used everywhere, but seeing this package still in use in several other projects (and not only in my initial team) even after I left the initial team feels good. One day someone from my new company recommended to use “my” library as dependency to solve one of our problem, without knowing that I was the author, saying that it was a good well written lib. That’s a nice ego boost!
I think it’s more related to the fact that it’s when there is no distractions at all. At least for me that’s probably the reason. No colleagues asking dumb questions, no pointless meeting, nearly no notification whatsoever.
Probably not, this is Quebec. I’m in a french lab and everything is written in English. You don’t really have choice as you are collaborating internationally. Even if the lab is based/funded in France, not all of the people inside will be french. They plan to have scientific advisors that are not french according to the link.
I may be wrong but from what I’ve heard from some “small” content creator on YouTube the money from the sponsored talks in their video is a much bigger part of their income than money from youtube coming from the YouTube-selected ads that play before/during the video.
Also, this part do not give any money to YouTube and do not use/collect any data on you.
With three different shoes and of feet growing backward also.
Ah I know it was popular in Germany too, but I didn’t know about Poland. In France it’s also popular and a lot of restaurant serving meat have that on the menu but it’s often disappointing in restaurant because it’s prepared in advance and not at the order.
I’m not sure if I would trust already made tartare from supermarket, but I guess they have very strict rules to follow so it should be fine. The picture you sent is indeed grounded very small. In france the specialty is to cut it by knife in small rectangle and not ground it. You have a better texture when you chew it.
It’s a unique taste that is hard to describe. But it’s of course very savory, with a lot of unami. The dominant notes are usually from what you add to the meat and not the meat itself (here for exemple, shallot and toasted pine nuts were dominant). If you like rare steak, you can imagine the same but more prononced and without the seared part. Also, foe texture it’s very soft and easy to chew as it’s already cut in very small pieces.
For gaming I see your point, it looks like everything as to be a money grab nowaday which greatly reduce the quality of a lot of games.
For ttrpg I don’t feel like it though. Sure Wizard of the Coast/Hasbro has gone to shit but I left the D&D train a long time ago already. And the amount of other very good and accessible system is amazing. IMO The only thing “bad” that this new popularity bring is players with wrong expectations. Some expect every games and every DM to be of the same quality as Critical Roll or other well known podcast, some exept to find “video games” mechanic like in baldur’s gate, some are trying to force the meme stuff inside the game, ect.
