Unpopular opinion: Masculinity doesn’t exist. There’s feminine things and then there’s everything else.
This seems to be a roundabout way of coming upon the idea of, like, defaults and privilege. Like how people will say the there’s “sexual orientations: straight and political”
Device finger printing should be illegal.
Maybe I should try it again. I like the idea of the three action economy and teamwork from what I’ve read of pf2e. The mod didn’t have all the normal tutorial stuff, if I recall.
Does it do initiative the same way as 5e? Because that sounds like it would make teamwork annoying. “I need you to distract them, but you rolled low on iniative and I can’t just like wait for you to do it”
It didn’t just happen like the stars moving overhead. People with names and bones did it.
Most Republicans value in-group solidarity more than things like justice or truth. So no, not unless Trump somehow becomes out-group.
Maybe if we start a conspiracy that he’s actually Jewish… No, that’s like trying to use The One Ring.
The us really struggles to do anything for the public. A big part of why is racism, but I think a lot of people are also a mix of vanilla stupid and indoctrinated.
“hey, I want to run a game about {theme, conflict} in {setting} using {rules system}. You want in?”
When you have enough interested players, do a “session 0”. Talk about what kind of game you’re aiming for (serious? Comedy? Deadly? Power fantasy?). Set lines and veils. You’re going to have a bad time if you’re aiming for tactical combat in a grim world, but two of your players want Loony Toons.
I highly recommend players make character concepts together. You should probably play “you all meet in a tavern” once or twice because that’s kind of a whole Thing, but that brings in a bunch of problems.
Read how Fate does it: https://fate-srd.com/fate-core/phase-trio . Maybe just read the whole section on starting a game there. A common property of good DMs is reading other sources and stealing from them.
Absolutely do not get super committed to any particular story beat. Do not expect the players to get captured, or for them to agree to a sea voyage. If you want the game to be about something like that, start there. Tell the players. You can absolutely pitch a game based on “you were all overcome by an orc raising party. You’ll start as prisoners planning an escape”. Do not play out them losing the fight.
Your players are probably not going to pay a lot of attention to your setting. This is doubly true if you unilaterally made it up. If you give players input into the setting details (see again how fate does it), they’ll be more invested and remember more. (Though some players hate having narrative agency, so watch out for that)
I have to admit I was wrong - a shit-load of google docs are also visible on search. I wasn’t aware it works this way. That’s really bad. I found so many people’s resumes!
Does it say they posted it on the Internet?
Google Docs has a “anyone with a link” sharing option. I would not expect setting that and texting my friend the link to result in the document contents being indexed for searches.
I would not assume “anyone with a link” includes people who do not have the link.
It’s funny because people who have never been to New Jersey aside from like an airport or maybe the Secaucus train station will shit on it. Meanwhile, they’re from like bottom-of-the-barrel Mississippi or something.
I dunno, I’ve always felt negatively about, like, unoriginal things people just repeat to feel like part of the group.
I was just playing the old genesis Shadowrun (an old favorite of mine) and had a dark laugh at how the DocWagon you get, where they pull you out of wherever, treat you, and drop you off outside the hospital has a maximum fee of 5000. The default is just 10% of your money.
That’s better than the US for a lot of people.
When I read “influencer” I read it as like “grifter”. I concede what you’re describing may not be bad.
Müller-Vahl asked the obvious follow-up question. What she found was that almost every patient in the outbreak had been watching a small number of Tourette influencers with very large followings who documented their own tics on YouTube and TikTok.
Why the fuck do these influencers exist.
Unfortunately, the idea of “then we go into the board room and execute all those assholes” has a certain emotional appeal that’s absent from “we’ll boycott, vote, run better candidates”.
More active resistance like strikes or blocking production are a little more poetic, but tend to draw violence
Oh, I guess I did get pretty far in the story, then. I think it wanted me to go to the center of the galaxy when I stopped. That’s probably your last paragraph there.
Neat.
Also when you scroll down on the page, the background gets more red. Is that a subtle “we’re turning more communist” joke? (Ok, it says linear-gradient(180deg,#e2f3ff,#ffecd9), which isn’t really red)
I will continue not playing playstation, as I have for years. Fuck 'em.
Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. Feels good in their brain.
You’d probably be an asshole too if you came a little every time you yielded to authority. That’s how their brains work.
I feel like if that sort of thing happens, you should be paid extravagantly. None of this “okay you can go” business after you’ve been fucked around.
