  • The game isn't balanced around multiclassing, either. If it were, everyone and there dog wouldn't have difficult to explain backgrounds that involve blood magic, mysterious patrons, and devout faith in something.

  • No, the idea is that 4e basically imploded the brand, so they pushed some unfinished stuff out the door before the axe came down and suddenly and unexpectedly they discovered that the brand was printing money.

    Rules aren't restrictive, because every rule is optional. A lack of guidance is WotC asking you to do their work for them.

  • I bet door-to-door salespeople would make way more money if they could just break into your homes, leave their junk on your table, and steal your credit card, and yet we don't let them do that.

  • Right. But when the bar is owned by a Nazi, your options for pushing them out of the bar becomes a lot more limited.

  • Canada Post management gives employees 24 hours to accept an offer hundreds of pages long: By refusing offer of two-week truce, they're forcing strike to further make the public blame the workers

    Jump

  • It's because most of us have been abused by employers, teachers, and the system as a whole, and our only model for what an employer-employee relationship is is one where the employee has zero power and does what they're told. This, in turn, means most of us would be awful, toxic bosses, and that comes out whenever we, collectively, are the employer.

    I remember when the bus drivers went on strike here, like a decade ago now, or more. The radio call-in shows were swamped with people complaining that they don't get any of the things the union was demanding. Rather than wondering why, or unionizing and striking to demand such things, they just kept telling the bus drivers to get fucked.

    We're a society of crabs in buckets.

  • Nvidia’s RTX 5060 review debacle should be a wake-up call for gamers and reviewers

    Jump

  • "Reviewers" need to understand that, unless they paid their own money, from a bog-standard store, on or after release day, they are not reviewers, they are hired spokespeople.

  • Toronto business owners are using AI-generated “concerned residents” to fight a proposed bus lane

  • They lied. They cheated, and tried to astroturf the issue with bots. For that reason, their voices should carry no weight ever again.

  • Alberta should shut it's pie hole and spend its money protecting against being an abandoned tailings pond, rather than on party favours for oil execs.

  • Because they see bikes as things ridden by teens and the poor, and they hate both of those groups.

  • Fuck aboot

    Jump

  • Canadian Raising -- which is what creates the sense in 'Muricans that we're saying aboot -- is actually weakest in the Atlantic region, and particularly with respect to Os. We strongly raise our Is and As, but not our Os. "Out and about" is more likely to be pronounced "oat in a boat" out here.

    The phenomenon, more generally, occurs coast-to-coast, though, and originated in the 1800s.

    Nowhere in Canada has anyone ever actually said "oot and aboot", though. Americans just have this tendency to hyper-fixate on the subtle difference between raised and unraised vowels, and see the raised vowels as very cutting. They'll go "ow-t and ab-ow-t", or put shingles on their "ruff", particularly in the south, and find the more closed-mouthed form of these vowels alien.

  • Fuck 'em. Communication is a two-way street, and if they're only ever willing to communicate on their own terms, then they're not sctually interested in communicating.

    I know that often, the people being discussed in these sorts of conversations are people we feel we cannot avoid, e.g, parents, bosses, partners, etc., but these people can be excised from our lives. We can move away from home when old enough, we can find new jobs, and we can find new partners. It's work, and it's not easy, but there are good people out there who will genuinely want to try, and you can find them.

    You gotta dedide that part of your struggles today, though, are that others actually are demanding more of you than you are of them, and that they're deciding they don't care enough to do their part in bridging the gap.

    That hurts in its own right, but it's a different kind of hurt. It's a fuck them kind of hurt.

  • It's fun when people allude to having knowledge they don't display or share. Makes them look like they're feeling smugly superior while also contributing absolutely nothing to anyone.

    It's the daddy's money of social media.

  • Retconing things to protect muh precious twists is not compelling, though, it's just base metagaming. The unwavering plot is the GM equivalent of the 8 page main character syndrome PC backstory. If I found out my GM was doing that, they wouldn't be my GM anymore.

  • This just boils down to "don't disucuss social power dynamics" at some point, though, and that's how social power dynamics remain unchallenged, and only ever evolve towards reinforcing the social hegemony.

    People need to be able to criticise others' words and actions when they perpetuate injustice, regardless of whether they are a part of the affected minority, and this criticism should not be viewed through the lens of taking offence.

    One can criticise without being personally offended.

  • Albertans talk about alienation as if any of us living outside of Toronto or Vancouver don't experience the same sense of "people only talk about Toronto and Vancouver".

    Meanwhile, Albertans routinely shit on Atlantic Canada, behave as if BC is just Calgary's port, and complain bitterly and non-stop about the French.

    Dani doth complain too much.
