First name is very rare here in The Netherlands, but these days it is quite common to use the "casual" form of you (je/jij) rather than the polite form (u). That was very different some 70 years ago.

Funnily enough it was treated as such, and same with the "critical miss"

With us it kind of depends on the situation. If a critical success or fail would make sense or be very funny we treat it as such.

I mean, it wholeheartidly depends on what is on screen and the stimulant

Excel sheets and coffee? Yeah boring

RV There Yet and booze? Pretty fun

Nature documentary and magic shrooms? S-tier

the DM can balance it back <3

Very true. My level 12 party of five fought a Blob of Annihalation. They won...

I see a lot of hate for the HIMYM finale and... I truly do not get it. I will not praise it as a cinematic masterpiece, because it isn't. But it is an ending that they have been building up since the very beginning, and it makes perfect sense given the characters and what they went through. There are a lot of show endings that cannot claim that at all, with random last-minute additional arcs or forgetting things from earlier seasons. I haven't seen any of that in HIMYM. So yeah, I think it's a decent ending overall, and I truly do not understand the hate it gets.

As for GoT; yeah that went into shitshow territory from season 7 for me personally.

*La Grande Vadrouille", or by it's English title, "Don't look now, we're being shot at." Three RAF pilots accidentally strand themselves in occupied France. With the help of the resistance, and some guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they try to escape. It's definitely a product of its time, but it's not too bad compared to some other titles of this age. Definitely worth a watch!

It's kinda mainstream, but I've enjoyed Modern Family quite a bit. Sure, there is some friction, but it all works out in the end, so perhaps that fits what you're looking for.

There are perfectly valid reasons not to switch to Linux. Many people could switch, which is why encouraging switching is fine, but when the entire work environment is in Windows, or they need specific software that does not work properly (or at all) on Linux, fully switching is not an option. I love me a "Windows Bad, Linux Good" meme, don't get me wrong, but that is a meme at the end of the day. Reality is often much more nuanced, and this is no exception.

There are great examples in this thread of great games from years past. But from more recent games, everyone who has played BG3 to its close (or near it) will likely agree with me. It was an amazing buildup and amazing scene when it happened.

My players have finally encountered a dragon for the first time last week. They managed to resolve the situation peacefully and have taken up a quest to do for the dragon. Currently they are being mogged by a Blob of Annihalation instead. Fun times.

Yup, installed Linux Mint for my 60+yo mother. She hardly uses her laptop and does not need anything advanced. We set it up, installation went very smooth (obviously), set up her browser so she can use it like she's used to, and we figured out how to use the printer. Thankfully it was no hassle at all, it just connected via USB and interacted very well with the printing and scanning software that came with Mint. She was already using firefox and libreoffice, so that was no hassle either. So far so good!

A bit more niche, but I'd say Roll20 for online TTRPG's. It has quirks, absolutely, but it has gotten better overall and is free with optional paid plans that offer good benefits which are not necessities.
