I feel like the pandemic showed the cracks in the status quo, and ever since things have gone back to "normal," employers are trying to nudge things back to the pre-pandemic status quo. People have seen other possibilities through those cracks, and business has no idea how to deal with it.

I love those x360s. I have a G5 and it's surprisingly capable of handling somewhat intense tasks.

Playing in person, I made a lot of papercraft maps and items to get a very 3D feeling on the cheap. It was a lot of work, but my players loved it.

My current game is fully remote, and I'm finding I like creating digital stuff for Foundry even more than I liked papercraft. For non-combat stuff I set up splash screens with a piece of art showing the location, and then pop-up insert images with portraits of NPCs they meet. When it comes to combat, there are lots of really quality battlemap creators out there, with a lot of free options.

I don't know how anyone lives without it.

I played a Kenku monk in a game a few years ago, and we were on a ship crossing the ocean. I was up in the crow's nest (ha), when we were attacked by a flock of harpies. I jumped onto one of them and wrestled it luchador-style in midair, the entire time feeling thrilled to finally know what it felt like to fly.

Fully upgraded position ejector shreds.

I reinstall and okay through it again every several years. Lately No Man's Sky has been scratching some of that itch for me, though.

Better they go into buttholes after I've handled them than before.

You're getting downvoted by people, but your position is totally valid.

"Linux works perfectly for everything if you just don't do the thing you want to do" is a less than compelling argument.

I put all my praise on the abacus.

Honestly, I've found that for non tech-savvy people making any sort of major change results in confusion and frustration. Unless there's a reason that you're wanting them to switch at this particular point in time, and unless the impetus for the change is coming from them...just leave it, don't mess with a setup they're comfortable with.
