You spent days coming up with that reply?

And you take offense at “If you want to do X, maybe look for a system that does it out of the box”? You’re ignoring the “add a house rule” option, too. Did someone hurt you by telling you to play another system, and this is trauma shutting down your brain?

You’re a mess.

Considering how you are behaving here I find it extremely unlikely that you are widely regarded as pleasant. Really. Go read your post again, where you escalated all the way to “go fuck yourself”.

Furthermore, your post is foolish.

First, an ad hoc change of rules to benefit the players is fudging. You should talk about it with your table because groups are different, but many people feel strongly about it.

Second of all, in my post I suggested that if players like being able to interrupt big spells, they could either add a house rule to cover that, or change to a system that does it out of the box. And you’re blowing up over that?

Third of all, not every table is the same. Some tables would enjoy the wreckage of “wow we really shouldn’t have bunched up like that. Well, I think I’m going to roll a rogue next because evasion sounds nice”.

Your post is garbage. You’re mad at some imaginary “evil GM” story in your head.

You’re a presumptuous and unpleasant little person, aren’t you?

I don’t think that kind of fudging makes for good DND. You could maybe remind the players that wizards cast spells earlier in the scene. But if you want something like that play a different system, or add a consistent house rule that’s written down. Some games let you interrupt spell casters.

Huge anti-fan of ad hoc stuff in otherwise rules driven games.

Still happily using Linux.

I did switch the DE to kde plasma because the cosmic desktop was giving games a lot of trouble. Opening in weird window sizes, mostly. I did some light trouble shooting but decided I didn’t care that much about the desktop environment, so I installed the 2nd one.

Many managers and owners are large children with poor emotional regulation.

I’m reminded of how old video game Dragon Age had Justice and Vengeance as two different manifestations of the same spirit.

I don’t think we’ll see justice in our life time. Not to make up for the evils enacted by Musk and those like him. But we might see him suffer and die in terror, and that would be a delight.

the worst thing you can do is execute Elon Musk

Doing nothing would be worse

The problem is you can say it’s mass murder. I can say it’s mass murder. Maybe a dozen of our friends can agree. But we need to take the next step. Get a bunch of people together, stop laboring, and demand Musk face justice.

Maybe I should write a short story about a small cell of activists who kidnap “Musk”, live stream a trial, and then execute him.

Every day I’m disappointed that Musk and friends continue to just walk around living free.

Cool. I’m so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

It’s comforting for people to imagine they’re not stupid and other people aren’t smart.

You could probably make it look like an accident. “I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there”

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

I started using bruno for lazy gui “make a request” needs.

But for anything serious python requests is right there, so I mostly used that for testing.

I prefer Fate’s system:

When you don’t like your roll, you can either reroll or take a flat bonus. Because Fate is a dice pool instead of flat-probability-1d20, if you do take the reroll to make up for an atrocious roll, you’re less likely to get another atrocious roll. Usually you just need the little bump to make a difference.

This is really quite “are we the baddies?”

I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon

People think “violence is never the answer” even when violence is being done to them. People are stupid.

I like to think in the future maga-hats will be fodder enemies in video games like Nazis. You can just kill them without remorse because they are scum.

Magas don’t care about facts or consistency. They just want their team to win. They’re like drug addicts , except instead of chilling in their room nodding off they’re dismantling society to chase the high of “OUR TRIBE WIN YOUR TRIBE DEAD”

Easier to link directly to the different sizes, probably, done like this, too
