  • Do you like working from home? Yes or no, gimme some reasons.

    Jump

  • Generally speaking, no.

    I like getting out of the house, and I find I'm more efficient, better at focusing, in the office/field. Maybe That'd be different if I had a separate dedicated 'work office' at home, but I don't have space for such a thing.

    But, I do like having the option to WFH. Bad weather, car trouble, feeling a bit sick (but not enough to call off).

  • 70 ish people were struck

  • You aren't wrong for liking what you like. But I love subtext, make me riddle out the meaning.

    I know this isn't all 'non-subtext' works, but I hate when theres a beautiful passage that neatly implies what a character is thinking and feeling indirectly... Followed by them just blithely stating their current emotional state out loud. Hits like a sack of bricks every time.

  • A community for the most traumatic superhero story

  • I strongly prefer Ward, but it is pretty different.

    Writing style remains the same, but the themes and focus is pretty different. Wards is more thoughtful in a lot of ways, but it means the pacing is slower and more introspective.

    While Worm, keeping spoilers light here, kinda has the Taylor avoid introspection as much as possible, with several stories beats showing how unreliable she is at understanding her own motivations.

  • Cultured meat

    Jump

  • I always find it shocking when people say this. Impossible Meat (and the others in the market, like Beyond) are... Fine? But are very distinctly Not Meat to me, in both flavor and texture.

    I mean no shade, I'm glad you found a meat replacement you like! And besides, your not the only one I've seen saying thag. I genuinely prefer things that are aiming to be their own thing. Black bean burgers remain my fav type of patty, for example.

  • Jeopardy wall calendar pretending that the coastline paradox doesn't exist

    Jump

  • Nah, that's silly. Asia obviously has the longest coastline.

    Sure, based on that paradox, the specific measurement of a given coastline will differ. But if you pick a standard (i.e., 1km straight lines), Asia is easily the longest. Doesn't matter what standard you pick.

    The only way the paradox matter here is of you pick different standards for different coastlines. Which, os obviously wrong.

  • Not to be confused with "Summon Funkubus"

    Jump

  • Okay, but technically, incubus/succubus means demon who lies on top/beneath

    Its summon top or bottom, not summon male or female

  • Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation

    Jump

  • Yes. No photos would be better than the ai-slop. Like, they aren't even relevant to the article, they're just '' pop-sciencey'. If you're gonna use ai images, you could at least make them relevant to the topic?

  • Competition? No. Comrade.

    Jump

  • If you were playing Bilbo in DnD 5e, the class that makes the most sense to give bilbo is Rogue. Commoner isn't a class; bilbo could only be one if he was an NPC.

    Does he exactly map onto the DnD rogue chassis? No, he doesn't, but he maps worse onto every other class.

  • Competition? No. Comrade.

    Jump

  • Rogues aren't really designed to be good at everything, they are designed to be very good at a few skills (in 5e). Bards are the 'generalists' (which, imo. is blatantly OP considering they are also good spell-casters).

    PF2e is where they just kinda get all the skills (along with investigators).

  • Competition? No. Comrade.

    Jump

  • I mean, if we're talking DnD 5e, rogues are one of the weaker classes.

    In part, its cause they're only okay at combat. Pretty good damage (but not amazing), only moderate control options, and little defense, while relying on modes of attack that require work to function (sneak attack, stealth)

    And, they do work as a skill monkey, but Bards are just kinda... better, at almost everything, on that front. Magic is just generally overtuned in its effectiveness, so really, a Wizard can be a better skill monkey, if they prep utility spells that day.

  • Competition? No. Comrade.

    Jump

  • Big disagree, though still upvoted you cause that is a hell of a hot take.

    Sneaky stabbers are cool, and I like skill monkies. Not just 'the theivery havers', but also the bag of tricks, the preppers. Batman is basically a rogue.

    And, sure, it can be interesting to have the party be bad at Stealth on purpose. To have to bumble their way through everything. I don't think Rogues are strictly necessary. But I like that they're an option.

  • Competition? No. Comrade.

    Jump

  • Its cause you really only need one person good at a skill in the party. Once you have one person with high thievery (or, any other skill, really), each addition of another character with that skill is worth less and less.

    While, combat focused classes are kind of the opposite. Hard to have too many combat classes in most dnd-likes, and the more classes you have narrowly focused on combat, the better the party is at that task.

    What made you decide to become vegan?

    Jump

  • Predominantly environmentalism. Buying vegetables over meat is just radically lower impact. I buy local (or, better, grow it myself) as much as I can can too.

    Ethics certainly is a concern, as is health. Though, I have a lot of allergies, which makes it challenging at times. Still, I'm used to not being able to eat a lot of food, to restaurants not having anything I can eat. So I already was cooking most if my food from scratch, so it wasn't the hardest pivot, even if my diet is objectively quite restricted

  • While there is undeniably large crossover, I also know a several of ace people, who are all very nerdy.

    And like, for me, I mean this with zero judgement, I think kink is gross. People can and should live their lives 'out loud', and I think there is nothing wrong with kink. But also, I'd prefer not to hear about it, or to know specifics

  • I wish Steam didn't have porn on it

    but I double-plus wish that Steam didn't stop hosting porn only because of payment companies with outsized control over creative expression

  • I tried lab grown meat today

    Jump

  • I'm not personally interested in eating it. Just not appealing to me (and, I'm deathly allergic to seafood besides, which lab grown fish is still a problem there).

    But I'm happy it exists, and hope it is environmentally friendly/cost effective enough to save animals, and improve the environment.
