This is only a guess, but it could be related to increased use of technology. Many things we interact with are simplified, and if you come across a word you don’t know your phone can give you simple synonyms or if you can’t spell autocorrect will catch it.

The same problem people are talking about with LLMs with a different lens.

My friends and I started playing again recently, trying to de-rust in preparation for Wilds.

Which a side complaint: of all the names they could have possibly chosen why would they choose another ‘W’ for the name

I think he’s just vague and inconsistent. Like he doesn’t work on the hook which based on card text you would think he would. Etc etc

Yeah, it’s what happens when things get bought by Private Equity.

I cancelled 3 memberships I have had since ~2016 over this shit.

I think I’d rather hear from the recipients.

Shame their AI question didn’t have a “my biggest concerns is companies chasing the AI buzzword with no tangible benefit”

I am sure, I’m just speaking about the ones my company uses. I don’t know much about them other than they aren’t able to be updated centrally. I worded the update part poorly, since the tag can update instantly but our registers don’t update pricing save for once a day.

I won’t say never, but my company has these and the tags aren’t able to be centrally updated meaning it would require manual intervention to reprice those items at all locations (and incorrect pricing is grounds for shutdown in some states) furthermore our software only does a pricebook load once a day so I can’t see that in our near future. I’m inclined to believe Walmart execs may be regurgitating a sales pitch more than what they’re capable of doing. That being said never say never and out techno dystopian future will be upon us soon.

Probably the steam engine as far as actual innovation and all but my answer is air conditioning

If you can’t get out of it, get into it.

I wouldn’t say wrong - but there’s probably some nuance you’re overlooking. As a general rule healing is not super strong in D&D so you may want to forego having a dedicated healer, you also might want to focus on “control” spells that can either take an enemy out for a few turns or otherwise minimize their threat.

There’s also an argument to be made for preserving the “hardware” - those machines don’t last forever. the Analouge guys recently made (or are making?) an FPGA that is compatible with all of the Turbografix hardware paraphernalia which is arguably just as important as the actual software
