I pick easy settings on crpgs because combat usually sucks and I like the story :)

yeah the latest pathfinder games are essentially 2 completely different games based on how high you want to take the difficulty.

Story mode is fine, pretty easy so long as you don't make the worst possible character builds

Up to normal mode, it's a decent challenge, you do want properly built characters, but you don't need to be perfect every single combat with buff timing.

Core mode is where it adds extra enemy effects & abilities that can ruin your day if you aren't planning around them, you have to be using most of if not all your abilities to squeeze out the extra damage and defense. Example would be that the game had high level feats for bonuses to mage armor but not regular armor, so the optimal strategy for literally everyone was to take those abilities and use potions of mage armor rather then wearing actual armor.

Hard and up, to unfair, is basically just a massive numbers boost to the enemy, and combat is either you kill the enemy in less then 3 rounds, usually with a single attack each time, or you're going to get wiped.

elise the great posted:

Not to get all weird but like. I’m not totally unknown on the forums, and I’m literally a black bloc antifa medic from the anarchist jurisdiction. Antifascism is a set of values that I think most people around here hold, and antifa action is anything you do to uphold those values, whether it’s community volunteering, political activism, helping your neighbor instead of calling the cops, or— in my case— providing eye washes and first aid to people assaulted by police and right-wing extremists for protesting.

Last year, the Proud Boys shot into a group of medics in Olympia. They didn’t kill anyone, but they did hit breadnsucc. Charges were filed, although everyone knew that PBs can get away with anything in Oly— this is why the PBs , especially Tiny Toese, like to “hunt” in Oly and why medics and counterprotesters oppose them, to keep them out of racialized neighborhoods and reduce the chances of a lynching etc.

To my understanding, breadnsucc wiped his history and posts because the charges finally came to judicial attention and he feared that his posts would be used to discount the severity of the PBs’ actions (firing into a crowd of medics). It turned out that even without his posts, the PBs can get away with anything in Oly. All charges were dropped.

It wasn’t for several more weeks that the shooting clash happened, and by then, the PBs— emboldened partly by their Oly victory— were ready to get away with more. Obviously the story is garbled, but the things I’m fairly confident in the details of are as follows:

—The PBs cornered an independent journalist and dragged them by their hair, apparently intending grave harm
—The group that attempted to intervene included breadnsucc, who apparently shot Tiny in the leg.

I don’t know breadnsucc personally at all. I do know that if someone fired at my team, shot me, and walked, and then I saw them dragging another team member by their hair and brandishing guns, I probably wouldn’t have aimed for their knees.

Yeah, I agree gently caress that guy but also goons are massive rules lawyers and if you give them an inch they will take a mile of "Free X" threads in QCS twisting themselves into Sophist-level knots to try to justify how it's actually a grey area or not specified in the rules. So it's important to make sure that as many angles as possible are explicitly covered. The only action I took in my misguided stint as an IK that didn't get blowback was banning someone who admitted to watching child pornography. I was accused of gaslighting when I told Breadnsucc (the guy who later shot up a proud boy rally) that getting shot was probably really traumatic and it would be good to talk to a therapist but he can't try to organize leftist militias on the forums.

yep, an IK put in a ban and it was declined by an admin, which is standard as IKs can only automatically apply 6ers (but can queue anything up to a permaban/100k, thanks radium). ik's also can't see or comment on the report queue.

In hindsight making the crazy toe-shooting man pay another $10 to post here would have been better though I'm not sure any fewer toes would have been shot.

i just reviewed all the reports on doorknob slobber and breadnsucc and they're a mostly solid combo of probations (including a month-long 'please stop being insane tia' probe from crusty nutsack) and miscs where it was either just general cspam frothing or a misunderstanding. i did see a few that were misced by a former mod which should imo have been treated more firmly but it's not correct that they were being routinely ignored.

there is also a wider context of walking a line between stopping psycho bloodlust posting and acknowledging that people want a cop-free place to vent. I feel there's less of the former these days.

As always, if you don't think reports are doing what they should then pm a mod or admin.

Maybe CSPAM can help stop things like this in the future. Perhaps help goons who are on the edge of doing something like this. I don't know...

“The suspect is seen removing his outer clothing and changing into the bright yellowish/greenish t-shirt,” wrote an Olympia Police detective in the criminal complaint. “The suspect discarded his black t-shirt and beanie/watch cap in the alley.”

Varela is a member of the forums at website Something Awful using the screen name “Doorknob Slobber.” He has a long history of making extremist posts and has been suspended repeatedly by the moderators. In a 2017 thread discussing Antifa’s organizational structure, Varela wrote, “I think it has something to do with … remaining decentralized in an effort to create cells instead of an organization structure that is easily targeted by law enforcement and other fascists.”

Regarding the recent shooting in Portland

Regarding the CHAZ shooting, we have the exact same kind of posts this guy did, or worse. It was self defense! It's actually good that two teenagers died, it shows CHAZ has teeth!





Regarding the Portland crash guy who tried to help a trans woman and was beaten by a crowd, immediate posts of why it was probably justified and acceptable (note at this point there was no evidence he might be a white supremacist, trying to get a weapon, or running anyone over), which is the exact same thing the guy this thread about was doing:







These are just a sample, anyone who posted in CSPAM around the time of the CHAZ shooting in particular can tell you a bunch of threads were a clusterfuck of people justifying or glossing over it. If this incident can have us establish a basic rule of "when a violent tragedy happens, please don't immediately start trying to declare why aaaactually, it's cool and good", that might be a good thing.

This is the other quote block where Elise repeats the false narrative that the SUV was spraying bullets all up and down the CHAZ zone

Coolzone Chaz shooting was one of those. It's a bit long since the argument was so loving deranged and it went on for days before the mods started nuking anyone who even mentioned the shooting at all to shut down the criticism. It was all lost when the mods memoryholed the thread because of the tinytoes shooter getting indirectly encouraged by these same lunatics and their posting environment.

For the record it was two kids doing donuts in the park and the Call of Duty cosplayers opened fire on them causing a panic which got them executed. There is unclear video with audio of the "Chief Of Security" telling the one still living child "Still not dead yet?" before he too was executed.

Sorry but I'm dragging things back to toxic-land for a sec.

The policy of probing TERF language ('women's rights vs trans rights' etc) is all cool and good. For a space thread. For anywhere.

But if discussion of how some TERFs arrive at their beliefs, while explicitly disagreeing with those beliefs, is classed as hate and endorsement then things are slightly hosed up.

Ditto if implying that there are scales of TERF vitriol, and that using 'Nazi' & 'I'm going to slice you' rhetoric against the lower end isn't a great look, ends up in the same bin.

I've got no idea how bridges can be built between the two camps. But I do know they need to be somehow over the long term. (Because it's the TERFs that are going to be out there lobbying against trans rights the hardest in the real world). And I do know that the above reactions aren't building blocks in that bridge.

The SC thread has always had a sideline in pushing back at groupthink, so this doesn't feel totally unfitting. Even though I'm sure we'd all rather everything was cool, and to just be joking about SC. And I'm sure I'll get called an rear end in a top hat and worse for raising any of it at all.

Another probe for derailing is all fine. (Any serious/comedy claims of transphobia less so, but so it goes.)

Novaspectra posted:

As a short term response to simply ensure sure a community isn't populated with toxic people, this maybe the right thing to do. Especially as there are already forum rules in place, that explicitly state that anti-trans views will not be tolerated.
And this will be the case elsewhere too, not just here.

But in the long term, this strategy doesn't work. It ends up pushing people into a corner, isolating them and strengthening their resolve. They will then seek solidarity with people who hold similar views, and this causes further problems for trans people. Organised idealogical groups, working in tandem with influential celebrities peddle the anti-trans position using faux moral panic, and whipped up social media hysteria. This in turn can easily condition impressionable people down a very unsavoury rabbit hole without them realising it. These people are often merely ignorant and misinformed, and can be easily turned back onto the right path with some sensible discourse, and in the long term this is far more helpful.

It's not like the more sealed manufacturing process for an ice cream tub, when I guess it goes striaght in.

So next I'm on Youtube looking up How It's Made videos of frozen desserts. The factory lines are zipping by, hundreds of the things being assembled by machine, and sure enough every video has workers with hairnets but no face masks sitting on the line, hovering over it, breathing on it and filling the room with their air. One actually showed a maskless guy opening the vat of ice cream and sticking his face up to the opening to take a big whiff, all his personal air freezing onto the product. A lot of camera shots featured masks. But over 50% dicknosers. So many dicknosers.

I handled someone's frozen exhalations today. I tasted it so it definitely made it to my olfactory bulb. The risk is small, but unknown. Food factories are famous for outbreaks. The manufacture date on the box did not bring relief: Feburary 2021, hello newer strains. For a year I have washed every surface of every grocery and other object entering my front door to keep COVID out of our house for our cats. If all that was futile because of a bonbon I'm gonna be mad.

For future reference re: dissenting opinions on the active COVID threads, I think it'd be more productive to have a better counter to "it's not al like that" than telling the person to gently caress off or whatever. The deadly bon bons and dog bricking posters ate bans because they did stick out above the sea of nonsense chatter and white noise.

They were funny/horrifying moments, and if there's more amusing bits to have a passing laugh at, I'm fine with them getting linked here. If there's horrifying, gross, or depressive stuff that's not being stopped, I can take it to the mods or admins because I find that poo poo intolerable. Or bring it another mod/admin, or post them in SAD so they can be acted on.

The dog bricker required a thread in QCS because it was only a minor probe, and like clockwork it devolved into the "concern trolls/crew" arguements.
