It sounds to me like your brother may have just taken the wrong approach. Perhaps involving that sister less by means of active participation, but just exposing her to the creative process and using her as a consultant may have improved that outcome. I don't figure you or your brother are expecting advice, but generally I find that it's best not to try and dominate someone else's interest as a means to involve them. Otherwise they may end up feeling dissatisfied or not immersed enough in the game itself.

The toughest part about enjoying TTRPGs is finding a DM that lets you exercise your variety of creativity. If your only experience is with your brother as a DM, it could be you just don't necessarily vibe with his style of doing so.

Not knowing this was a literal, brewing at home community, I spent too long looking at the jolly ranchers and wondering how this fit into some form of TTRPG homebrew campaign.

Hope your strange distillate makes for a pleasant drink though!

I enjoyed it, and I'm excited to see what comes next. I'd be lying if I didn't think the original run was lackluster until it got going properly too.

May we see it?

Nah, this is just what it's been like from the moment Lemmy got momentum. The fediverse is pretty fundamentally aligned with the goals and interests of the same people who are part of the FOSS and Linux philosophy. From where I joined more than a year ago, it's been more or less the same.

Doesn't seem to apply to Canada (yet)

It's a bit difficult in a case like this, as it does add context and acknowledges their new identity so as to link what was a well known video to an existing person. I'd struggle to know who this was otherwise. I don't think there's any malintent here.

Absolutely. Having such good UX is uncommon for these kinds of projects since its most contributors are going to be focused on reverse engineering tasks. It's not to say that good UX isn't associated with good programming, but it's not terribly common that a project focused on reverse engineering puts effort into front-end development.

Dolphin is such a well fleshed out emulation monster that I'm consistently disappointed with other emulators that don't let me tweak things quite to the same degree. I can't tell if it's just the nature of Nintendo's console architecture from that era, or if there simply isn't the same degree of effort/priority put into exposing those kinds of features in other emulators.

Excellent. I have no real qualms with the existing deb package, but this greatly simplifies using it on anything else.

I don't know about the latter half of your statement, but my main reason for its use is pretty simply just that there's more music available, and it doesn't take all the time it normally would to get invited to a good music tracker. If anything, specialized Torrent trackers that could offer the same volume of music are a much bigger pain go deal with.
