Mostly webcomics and a few Dreamwidth pages.
I also recommend them, they are great. Some things that i especially like is the connection between the two main characters, the books giving you a very believable idea on how dragon-based warfare could work and showing different ways various cultures interact with dragons. While the major european powers mostly stick to the air force part mentioned in my earlier comment and generally don’t interact with people outside the military much, china for example has dragons more integrated into society and holding a wider variety of jobs. Book 4 showed a lot about dragons in southern africa, though i won’t spoil the specifics.
I have completed book 4 since my previous comment and am now deep into book 5.
I am currently about halfway through the fourth book of the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. A sort of historical fantasy set in a version of the Napoleonic wars in a world with dragons, which are used by the nations of that world as a sort of airforce. This one in particular is about a disease threatening the british dragons and the search for a cure.
The Remaster Champion is in Player Core 2, which is listed as available on their website, but hasn’t been updated on Archive of Nethys. I don’t have the book myself, but according to a blogpost (https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6uib0?Player-Core-2-Preview-The-Champion-Remastered) about it they said they still have causes, they are just not bound to alignment anymore.
The romulan attempt was in S5E24 “The next phase” so it was before “Pegasus” which is in season 7
There was the episode with Scotty in TNG (Relics) where there was indeed the problem of the pattern of the person who was in the buffer with him degrading, but that was over decades (2294-2369), while M’Bengas daughter was in the pattern buffer significantly less time. She was also rematerialised from time to time and it was noted that not doing so risked the integrity of the pattern, which contributed to the issue seen in the TNG episode.
Started using a waterpick because of this post.
Another thing that contributes to that accidental teaching not to run away is that many powerful creatures are too fast to run away from. When going through the most threatening enemies i had faced in Pathfinder, all of them were faster than my character, even though it had a feat that increased speed. The narrow passage is one good solution for those cases, though it might feel contrived if used too often.
I got Backpack Hero. Played the demo on itch.io last year and i enjoyed it back then so i already planned on buying it at some point, and seeing it on sale gave me the push to actually do that. And this newer version is good, some mechanics like the curse system have been improved and obviously this version has more content.
I have seen posts on Tumblr from people who went (back) there because of the Twitter situation, so there is an additional direction.
Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.
I don’t think the website name is that unusual, there are plenty of lemmy servers with names that don’t contain the word “lemmy” like feddit.de, discuss.tchncs.de, beehaw.org or pawb.social.
In German it is called “Das nächste Jahrhundert” meaning “The next century”, which avoids that issue.
