Update: bought a DRMed book on bookshop.org to try it out and see. For now at least, it is only possible to read it on their website, or in the bookshop app on a smartphone. I hope they get kobo integration figured out soon, because the app is not really a pleasant reading experience.

Oh perfect, this is just in time for me to get laid off and not use Jira anymore!

What are the enchantment/glyph? I’m currently doing a corruption priest run, and I’ve found that the double sunray combo (to blind and then paralyze) works well for stacking debuffs before using the wand of corruption
bgainorto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•does captain Picard snore in Star Trek tng?English11·1 month agoSomeone asked Patrick Stewart about this once, and he said that in the 24th century, no one would care about baldness anymore
bgainorto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Robert Picardo Confirms It's Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor In Starfleet AcademyEnglish5·2 months agoIt would be cool if we get to hear from the version of the Doctor that was in “Living Witness.” I think the timeframe would be about right.

I’ve always dropped the censer before entering shops because I was afraid this would happen
He’s not as bad (yet, at least). But Hitler didn’t have access to a gigantic nuclear arsenal, so Trump has the potential to do way more damage
bgainorto Linguistics@mander.xyz•Researchers fear the British spoken 'r' is ready to roll away from the last bastion of rhoticity13·2 months agoSensationalist headline-writer: “These researchers are neutrally investigating language change? Let’s throw ‘fear’ in there to get up the prescriptivists’ hackles!”
bgainorto Pixel Dungeon@lemmy.world•What is the purpose of the shadowmeld buff in the garden room?English4·2 months agoYou do gain hunger slower in a garden, so if you have to sleep to heal, it’s a better place than just out in the dungeon. Other than that, I find it useful for the assassin to build up turns of preparation without spending cloak charges or potions/scrolls; just remember to turn on your cloak before you leave or it all goes to waste.
I do the same, I just wish my library had digital copies of all the books on my bookshelf! I have had luck using the same method to strip the DRM from an epub I bought from Kobo’s shop, but I don’t know if it would work with bookshop.org. I’d like to be able to support local bookstores, but their current model just doesn’t work for me.
bgainorto Philadelphia@lemmy.world•Penn, bracing for federal funding cuts, orders a hiring freeze and other changes3·3 months agoAs a Penn employee, I understand why they have to do this, and honestly I just hope I keep my job long enough for it to be relevant, but not doing CoL increases is de facto a pay cut (especially when the cost of living is going up as much as it is right now).
What does this bit mean?
The Priest can cast Guiding Light for free once every 100 turns, and can consume the illumination debuff with allies, wands, and some artifacts for bonus damage equal to their level.
A lot of the cleric’s abilities seem pretty specific. Are you able to use any of them with other heroes with the scroll of metamorphosis?
bgainorto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Warp Five: The Lower Decks Cast on the Cerritos' FutureEnglish6·4 months agoA few minutes ago out of nowhere, it suddenly clicked in my brain that I had called “Strange New Worlds” “Brave New World” on here, so I had to come and see people making fun of me. Thank you all for not disappointing 😆
bgainorto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Warp Five: The Lower Decks Cast on the Cerritos' FutureEnglish21·4 months agoI don’t know how, but I would love to see more of these characters in live action. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid were fantastic in BNW.
bgainorto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Alex Kurtzman Gives Live-Action Comedy Update, Says Star Trek Can “Broaden”English14·4 months agoTawny Newsome is awesome, so I’m sure this will be good, but there seems to be a fundamental tension between Kurtzman saying Trek can broaden, while Paramount seems to be trying to contract it.
As a fellow colorblind person, I’ve always had trouble with these colors. Thank you for saying something about it!
