  • Hey, don't worry, it's not your fault. I love your posts, thanks a lot for another great one!

    EDIT: NVM, I think it's my app (Summit). Firefox displays the page correctly.

  • Because "youth" is not a block, just as "Boomers" is not a block either.

    A lot of young people are against LGBT rights, oppose the liberalisation of drugs, and care little about women and reproductive rights (including women themselves!).

    GamerGate involved mainly young people, for example.

  • "They hated him because he told them the truth"

    I agree, there are tons of different approaches a DM should take instead of just killing their party for no reason.

    The main one would be to have a discussion with their players about what kind of campaign they want to run, so that everyone is on the same page.

    Everyone at the table has the right to have fun, players and DM alike. But it should be a team effort.

  • Level 3 arcane trickster/level 17 assassin makes perfect sense to me.

    That's not a multiclass as intended in 5e rules. That's just a 20th level rogue that got all the features from one subclass and the first feature of a second subclass for free.

  • That doesn't work.

    A Spellcaster multiclassing always gets something on level up, be it a feature, more spell slots, or higher level slots.

    A rogue multiclassing into rogue and splitting the levels would have dead levels at each subclass level.

    To explain what I mean: a Rogue gets its subclass features at 3rd, 9th, 13th and 17th level. By going with your math, a 9th level rogue would classify as a 4/4 rogue (by rounding down) as far as the subclass is concerned, which means that the rogue gets nothing at 9th level.Not only that. A 50/50 split for the multiclass progression would imply that a multiclassed rogue is precluded from getting any subclass feature higher than the 9th level one. By comparison, a Wizard/Sorcerer/Cleric multiclassed character can absolutely attain 9th level spell slots (although not 9th level spells, confusingly enough).

  • What have you been playing?!

    Talos Principle 2. I bought it 5 months ago but only recently I've been able to actually play it.

    The first game was a near 10/10 experience for me, so I came in with very high expectations, and... At the moment, I'm a bit disappointed.The main drawback is how pointlessly big everything is. You spend minutes running from puzzle to puzzle, especially if you want to 100% the game, which requires a lot of wandering around to find hidden switches and light rods to solve the Sphynx's puzzles.The environment is gorgeous, mind you, but it's just... too much. Which is funny, because an NPC I talked to yesterday lamented the exact same thing: '"bigger doesn't equal more beautiful". I agree, Jeremy.

    That being said, it's still a fun game, and the story is interesting (although a lot more heavy-handed than the first game). There are also a lot of cats! And you can pet some of them! I also found a little fox running around. I couldn't pet it, but it was cute regardless.

    But seriously, this game is soothing for the soul. There's just something in strolling around taking in the view with a beautiful soundtrack in the background that is just soooo relaxing. I use it as a way to cool my head after a day's work before going to bed.

  • Bat Fact: Some bats have amazing hearing

  • Welcome back @ickplant@lemmy.world! I read in the other post you got ill, I hope everything's fine now.

    Thank you a lot for your batposting, it's one of the highlights of my day :)

  • "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

    Jump

  • Half the things those idiots like would be 'woke' if they came out today. Any movie/videogame/(I would include books but these chuds don't read) including a female lead, a non-white person, or a disabled individual is doing virtue signalling and pandering to minorities. But back then, chuds didn't have the internet to tell them what to hate.

    There are tons of things that nobody cared about years ago that wouldn't fly today. Fairy Oddparents having a male individual become pregnant. LOTR's Éowyn killing the witch king on her own. Avatar: TLA has a few 'woke' episodes as well - for example, one where the male leads learns how to fight from a woman, and another where the female lead needs to convince a male wizard to teach her magic, which was a man-only practice.

    If they were released today, you'd find them in thumbnails on YT with "cringe", "woke" or "DEI" written in CAPS all over the place.

  • Woke did not exist before 2015, so everything created before that year is, in fact, absolutely based. Including all those apolitical masterpieces I grew up with, such as Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock. I wish they still made fun games instead of insisting on shoving leftist commentary down out throats. I really want to enjoy gaming again but developers are woke leftists now :(

    Lucky for us, the glorious Nippon country is untouched by woke. No, I don't know Japan and I've never visited it, but i play a lot of VNs, which is basically the same thing.

    EDIT: In case it wasn't clear... /s

  • Where did you get all that confidence from?

    I get a panic attack merely by thinking about DMing a one shot.

  • Rubio condemns German intelligence’s decision to classify far-right party AfD as extremist

    Jump

  • You can't fight fascism on the marketplace of ideas. The moment you sit at the table to talk, they spring up and punch you in the face.

    Limiting circulation of fake news, holding those who spread it accountable, and forcing social networks to moderate their platform if they want to operate in the EU, should be the priority.

  • Rubio condemns German intelligence’s decision to classify far-right party AfD as extremist

    Jump

  • First France, now Germany. Seems Europe (at least some of us) has decided it won't sit idly and let far-right extremists burn us to the ground.

    Although these are all provisional fixes. The true solution would be to get the people to ditch these idiots, and to do that, we need to fight disinformation and far-right propaganda on social media. Democracy can't survive if the voting base is too ignorant to choose its leaders.

  • I am effectively running now three campaigns in different systems

  • How did it go?

    My friend and I were interested a few years ago and took a look at the manual, and our head was spinning while reading the countless tables referencing other tables. I remember everything feeling twice as convoluted as how it should've been, for no reason.

  • now i just need to find good screen sharing software...

    Jump

  • As much as I hate Discord, that's the software me and my friends use to talk and share screen. It doesn't support drawing on screen, unfortunately, but you can play music and they'll hear it if you're sharing the entire screen and not a single window.

    The drawing on screen part is a bit odd, however. At that point, why aren't you just playing a regular VTT and allowing your players to move their own miniatures? I know that many VTTs are either too complicated for regular users, or too cumbersome for regular use, but I'd suggest testing a few of them until you find the right one for you.

    As for me, I've tried many VTTs and the only one I liked was Tabula Sono . It's very easy to jump into and use, and all my less-tech-savvy friends were able to learn it in minutes. It also has an extensive library of (free!) miniatures, supports uploading your own content, and is system agnostic (it's just a literal virtual tabletop).

    I'd fucking buy that thing if I could. Unfortunately, the only way to support the developers is to buy a subscription, and that's a no-no for me :(
