I've GM'd D&D 5e and Pathfinder 1e. My last campaign was in D&D 5e, but I... hope folks here know why I'm reticent to continue patronizing Hasbro. Anyway!

I wanted to get some of the core-est of the PF2e rulebooks. But... I'm confused. Looking for the PF2e "core, prime, base, main, starting" rulebook (the nearest equivalent of the PF1e "Core Rulebook" or the D&D 5e "Player's Handbook"), I've got at least the following options:

• "Core Rulebook"
• "Player Core Remastered" (which has the same cover art as the next one)
• "Player Core Pocket Edition"
• "Player Core 2"

I think I don't want the "Core Rulebook". It sounds like it's just an older, more poorly-organized version of largely the same content that's in... one of the other options. It sounds like the "Player Core 2" in fact is not a newer edition of the "Player Core", but more of an "expansion" for whatever the core rules are (a bit like the PF1e "Advanced Player's Guide" maybe?) so I probably don't want that if I'm really just looking to get familiar with the core rules first.

So assuming the previous paragraph is mostly correct that leaves the "Player Core Remastered" and the "Player Core Pocket Edition". I... think the "Player Core Remastered" is hardback and... maybe only sold as part of a bundle like this one? The "Player Core Pocket Edition" appears to be only in paperback. Is the "Pocket Edition" not as "Remastered" as the "Remastered" version? (Does "Remastered" just mean it's a newer edition than the "Core Rulebook"?) Does the "Pocket Edition" have all the same content as "Remastered" or does "Pocket Edition" mean it's missing some of the content?

All of the above isn't even to mention digital vs dead-tree versions. But I'm specifically looking for physical copies for purposes of this post.

Do you suffer from a personality disorder, suspect you might, know someone who does, or simply wish to engage on the topic with others?

That's what [email protected] is for.

I'm writing a Lemmy bot. (No spoilers. I'll publish it one day.) To test it, I'm running a local Lemmy instance (via Docker) on a computer on my LAN and pointing my bot at it. That method works great, mostly. I can use Lemmy-UI just fine on my computer. I can also connect to that computer from a browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:1234/. I can also connect to Lemmy directly from my browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:8536/ and get a JSON payload (rather than an HTML page) with some information about the instance. So I'm certain I can connect to both Lemmy and Lemmy-UI from elsewhere on my LAN.

I also want to see exactly what posts made by my bot look like in Jerboa, but I haven't been able to figure out how to connect to it from Jerboa. On the "add account instance" interface, you can select an instance from the dropdown, but you can also type whatever you want into the dropdown field.

I've tried typing in:

• 192.168.1.199
• 192.168.1.199:1234 (Lemmy-UI is HTTP port 1234.)
• 192.168.1.199:8536 (Lemmy is HTTP port 8536.)
• http://192.168.1.199:1234/
• http://192.168.1.199:8536/

(And, yeah, I figure port 1234 is probably not correct because probably Jerboa doesn't go through Lemmy-UI, but rather directly to Lemmy itself. But I figured I'd include those experiments here for completeness's sake.)

But I get the error message "Couldn't connect to the instance."

I'm running Jerboa 0.0.77 and Lemmy 0.19.8.

Thanks in advance!

I learned just recently that dbzer0 has a great piracy community that is blocked by lemmy.world . I'm not saying I'm looking to switch instances or anything, but it did get me wondering what else might be blocked by my instance that I wasn't previously aware of.

While we're at it, I'm curious what communities might notably be blocked on other instances as well. So we might as well just make this a question about what might be blocked by any particular instance, not just my instance.

So, what's blocked on some instances that folks might not have realized is blocked?

Coworker. I told him to fuck off with his conspiracy bullshit. But back when I patronized him, one thing he said was that he didn't consider belief a binary as in that you either believe something or don't. He viewed all beliefs as a continuum. You can believe one thing 10% and another thing 90%, but he wouldn't let me pin him down as to whether he "believed" any particular thing or not.

All while trying to convince me "tall white aliens" run the U.S. government and Sandy Hook was faked by a bunch of actors and the U.S. military had invisibility technology and planes that aren't dumping weather-controlling chemicals don't leave trails in the sky. Pretty standard QAnon-level bullshit. But if I asked him if he believed any of those things, he wouldn't answer. Honestly, it makes sense as a dishonest rhetorical tactic.

Dude also literally drinks borax in his juice cleanse drink.

Just as examples:

• I've never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
• I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn't realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
• Oh, and I've never seen the "hawk tuah" video.

I think I like the flakes better, actually. I microwave-bake bread with onion in it daily and the flakes are nicer.

Minced? Pure madness. Let alone powder.

I was logged out of Hulu on my streaming box and can't log back in on any device. I don't know if this is all of Hulu or just in certain regions or what.

I mean in terms of percentages.

And I don't necessarily mean three full terms. 2.5 terms or 2.1 terms or anything nontrivially more than 2 (like, 10 minutes more doesn't count) would qualify.

And it bugs me a little, but apparently not enough that I've actually done something about it.
