TBH, 5e hates secret roles. There are way too many abilities that trigger on a failed roll or can be used after a roll that this kind of play style straight up conflicts with.

Dex would be super important for them too. Cannons of all flavors aim with dex due to being ranged weapons.

I have issue with almost all of your points.

• Dex & wisdom would be the important stats for sailors IMO (i am not saying strength and con are useless, but just not as important, they would be 3rd and 4th IMO).
• Darkvision wouldn’t do a damn thing, its range would barely get off the side of the boat.
• Poison resistance is not disease resistance.
• Some spoiled food would be poison, but some would also be disease (depends on how it spoiled and the food).
• In order for short stature to be relevant to ship design, they would need a completely custom designed ship tailor made for them, which would have benifits but sounds unlikely for what pirates would be sailing. (That being said, a dwarven merchant ship designed speciifcally for their stature would be a massive pain for normal height characters to battle on)
• lower speed means they swim slower too which means going overboard is even worse.

Both are important, even if everyone is getting lots of action (feels fast), if combats end up needing to be split between multiple sessions, people are going to complain, and if people are waiting 30+ minutes for their turn, they are going to stop paying attention and do something else while waiting.

Cuz the sewer pipes are known for being hermetically sealed.

I imagine just checking if your windows are closed and staying inside would be far more effective

Do you have any preferences (distro, cpu/gpu manufacturer, etc) and a budget? Most of the games on your list I am familiar with and will run on damn near anything remotely modern.

Lacing direction, with the fairly low requirements (from what i recognize), and assuming you are price conscious id suggest you poke around the used gaming PC market (either gamer friends, or failing that online), which will also completely bypass the tariff issue too.

PopOS is pretty solid for linux gaming and has a distribution specifically for Nvidia too which handles most of the headache with Nvidia if you go that route.

EDIT: Poked around the requirement pages of the ones i wasn’t familiar with, i didn’t see a single game that had a requirement of anything newer than 10 year old hardware, depending on your friend network, you could get a computer that could play those games well for a song. Civ 7, your ‘evenutally’ game, is the only thing listed that has strongish requirements, and would be what i would pay attention to if you are aiming higher.

Top comment on the lemmy world this was cross posted with points out among other things that the app isn’t a system app and doesn’t otherwise have permissions to access most of what is claimed here, is there something I’m missing or is this just wrong?

So they both store data in a table like structure, but that’s about where the similarities end. Excel is useful for handling smaller more flexible data sets, but has performance, scalibility, storage, and structural deficiencies compared to SQL, it’s also harder for computer languages to communicate with a shared excel dataset and modify it vs SQL.

One of the major issues with excel as a database is data limits, excel only allows for ~1 million rows. Considering there are ~1 billion possible SSNs, excel would not be a great medium for them for that reason alone.

One big advantage of SQL is you need to structure your data on the creation of the table and it’s designed with the expectation that all data will fit a structure, including unique keys, format, and other limits and structures. This allows you to enforce database rules easily and massively reduce storage size and query times.

There are a bunch of other reasons for using SQL but most of it boils down to either it’s faster, easier for multiple computers to access and read/modify simultaneously, or better for enforcing rules and structures when modifying it.

Holy hell thats a huge temp range where the hell is that?!?
