I'd like to play a game one of these days. One thing that kind of puts me off is, doesn't it take a really long time to calculate the effect of rolls and such? I'm used to D&D-based video games where the computer does that for you.

Fights tend to be pretty quick, really, especially if you have a couple powerhouses on your team. Combat is also usually a pretty small part of most campaigns and you’ll spend far more time chatting with NPCs, investigating problems, and arguing with your party about how best to solve this problem that you also caused. I had a session earlier today and we spent about five minutes killing two bugbears and then 2 hours asking their goblin slave questions and pretending he was our Dragonborn’s daughter after befriending him and taking him into town

Also our bard turned one of the bugbear’s scrotums into a hat

I'm as big a nerd as anyone I've ever met, but every time I've tried to play D&D I've completely frozen up at the idea of creating and/or acting out a "character" who is not me. Like it is just utterly alien to my mind. I'll spent 15 minutes thinking of what I would say or do as that character, or thinking of a quip or a character trait or even just a name, and by that time everyone else has picked up the table and moved with it out of the room I am in

What I'm saying is, all you people for whom this whole "role playing" thing comes naturally, don't know how good you got it. OK that's my D&D story.

The “just make you, but with fantasy powers” trick is pretty solid. I think trying to take your own moral code, but having a character reach it from a different direction is another decent one. Like my current character is a Tiefling Warlock with an obsession with rare books and more or less rolls with the rest of the party because she feels she’s likely to find more rare books. I spend a lot of my time trying to convince my party not to murder every single enemy we incapacitate. Playing her as chaotic good works for me as she’s more or less willing to do whatever as long as it fits her idea of justice

I cycle a lot and recently moved to a city where people actually ride with lights and reflective vests and poo poo and get angry at you if you don’t. The problem is that some people use EXTRAORDINARILY BRIGHT LIGHTS and I literally can’t judge their distance or see anything around them whatsoever when they approach as a result. It’s just the stupidest thing. The fact that there are drivers out there doing the same thing is just mindboggling

JoJo is good but if you don’t think the idea of a man fighting vampires by blowing bubbles infused with solar energy at them while everyone acts incredibly serious about it is funny and entertaining, then I can’t help you

The game is sorta like Trials, except you have to climb about 500 feet up, inches at a time. It took 12 hours for him to get that far, almost at the end.

You watched 12 hours of slow and steady progress vaporize in an instant.

I saw a speedrunner get to that point in a minute 44, lol. It definitely looks like a hard game but that's not even a fifth of the way to the end. Still sucks that he lost 12 hours of progress, god drat

The Witcher is somehow even worse than anime, don't try and apply basic logic to it because the people creating it don't care and the people consuming it especially don't care.

A lot of the world building in the Witcher, including the magic system and the nature of fey creatures, are based on historical myths and folklore. We’ve come to the point where fables are considered anime, lmao

Biden is far, far from my first choice but even if you consider only one thing: two upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court, and you think the results of both possible presidencies would be the same you are beyond help.


edit: realizing what thread this is, I'm done here

Biden will likely fill the vacancies with corporate stooges who will only be marginally better than whatever ghouls Trump might pull out. Like, yeah, sure, vote for whoever the Dem nominee is, but if it's Biden I can't imagine he's going to motivate a lot of people to actually go to the polls. If Biden wins, we're going to have to push back against his bullshit as much as we have against Trump, except the Dem establishment isn't going to even pretend to lift a finger this time

It really depends on your definition of "lawful" but if the system goes out of its way not to punish them for anything ever, then technically they're still lawful. Lawfulness has nothing to do with justice, after all

The whole female thing seems like a terminally online issue.

You hear female a thousand times a day on TV, the news, random people, but on the internet it's a high crime.

If you use female as an adjective, that’s fine. If you use it as a noun to refer to a human, you’re either a scientist or an rear end in a top hat

This also applies to the word male, but you don’t really see people referring to men as males so much, for some reason

I mean I have not had a dirty rear end in a top hat issue in my life but that might be my privilege showing

My friend used to live in an anarchist commune, and one of the challenges they had to face one month in was trying to convince one of the members not to piss in the kitchen sink. Later they tried to vote him out, but he also supplied weed, so had many friends in the commune. Eventually, all capable members left, and the remaining troubled youth burned down the house in a drug-fuelled bender.

lmao, that sounds about right. Communities that specifically try to avoid hierarchy often end up having one person who gets a lot of power by simply being popular, and then running the place into the ground over petty conflicts
