Clearly not from the up votes on my original comment. But I’m glad you could masturbate your ego there for a bit. Hope the dopamine helped.

Lemmy is so much worse than reddit for this antisocial shit, it’s ridiculous. Only a handful of you seem to know how to continue a conversation without choosing to shoot snide remarks and condescension, then wonder why active users are dropping month over month.

I’ll cry into my filled weekend social life and life partner of over a decade, you pegged me just so accurately. Super relevant username btw.

Dude, you specified a company and I pointed out their parent company instead. I agreed with your original statement just indicated a better target. In the future, in social situations, a person who isn’t filled with angst would normally say something like “Oh you’re right, good call” or “Yeah, that would work too.” Something that adds to and continues the conversation instead of being a weird, defensive neckbeard about it. Have a good rest of your life, bud.

There’s no reason that people should assume you meant Alphabet rather than Google? Seeing as you used “Google” rather than “Alphabet” as they’re two different words. English is fun!

That needs to happen more with Alphabet than Google but either would be great.

Most situations requiring you to stealth aren’t going to have time for you to get out of your armor

That goes double for heavy armors like plate which takes upwards of twenty minutes to remove depending on the system you’re using.

Crit fails/successes are built into Pathfinder2e, so yeah we use em’

Some of the best stories in all my RPG experiences have come from a crit fails!

I really want to see Peertube flourish but I’m just not sure it’s going to work out. Video streaming platforms are a much different beast than the micro blogs of Mastodon or forums of Lemmy. But, this is a good step in that direction so good luck to them.

Let’s not pretend that all algorithms are the same.

But if we don’t, how can we act superior to people who use algorithm based platforms? /s

*it’s not fun in 5e

Bulk/weight/encumbrance in other systems is handled well and makes it so equipment choices matter more and the players choices have more impact on the game, while not being terribly designed so it feels like a chore (aka 5e)

Captain Climate Change, and he’s coming with a vengeance.

Yup. When I used to run 5e I made my own homebrew encumbrance system that worked way better then read PF2 rules and got annoyed because this character concept is viable in PF2 and it has an encumbrance system that actually works.

There’s held items, stored items, and worn items. Held and worn can be easily accessed but count against your bulk limit. Stored items (in your backpack) count against your bulk less so you can carry more but take longer to access in battle. So if you’re strong enough you can literally wear your entire weapon arsenal just like this meme since there’s no limit to worn items as long as it’s not above your max bulk lol

(Bulk is an abstracted form of weight that makes encumbrance easier to track)

Alright, PF2 rant done. Seeing your frustrations with 5e bulk reminded me of my own when I still ran that system lol

I can’t think of anything more specifically “reddit brain” than lumping Ajit Pai in with Hitler and of the hundreds of school shooting…

Nobody said they’re the same, just that if hell exists they’d all be there. They’re all just famous horrible people that are popular to talk about online, that’s what they have in common.

… including the one shooter that happened to be trans.

You have a point there, that was certainly a choice.

I had this sweet thing, I was the coolest kid on the block I tell ya.

so I don’t mind screwing things up a little bit.

Which you clearly did, and are trying to blame Edge. There’s plenty of things to shit on Edge for but user error is not one of them.

Enterprise IT infrastructure admin here, I’ve imaged thousands of windows laptops over a decade and dealt with Edge since it was implemented, never seen anything like this. I’m sure you’re confident in your abilities but you messed something up real bad or have malware of some kind. No question about it, this is not typical for any version of Edge.

I’m telling you, just play Pathfinder 2e already. They have great dying rules that prevents up/down abuse with the wounded condition building on the dying condition to stop the up/down cheese seen in 5e.

I used to run 5e for years and also use to make all kinds of house rules and systems just like this to get it to run how I wanted it to because it doesn’t do much outside of combat out of the box. I read through the PF2e rulebook and kicked myself for not switching sooner because they have a rule for damn near everything I would want to run and super balanced at the same time.

Really brave of them, that’s not an easy thing to do considering the circumstances they’re under. I hope they all stay safe during their protests. Or that there was anything I could do to help them.

you really have to have a good long hard think about your life.

Or, just enjoy the booty. I know I do.

You got a link? Sounds like a fun read.

Yeah, but I’ll probably do it at least two more times before the day is over.
