Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

DND is not a good universal game system. It’s pretty good at being DND, but that’s a particular beast that’s mostly about resource management.
You can definitely use it for a game about social intrigue, or horror, or modern day anything, but it’s not really good at any of that. Like using a hammer to put screws in, you’ll probably get something done, and if you’re hanging with your friends you’ll probably have a good time. But it’s a weird tool to reach for.
Personally, I don’t think the core of the rules system is very good at all. Flat probability feels weird. Armor as all-or-nothing is weird. Hit and damage being split into two rolls is slow and weird. In the latest edition, making very few choices about your character often feels bad. Levels are a very coarse unit of growth. The magic system somehow manages to make magic not feel like magic- no wonder, no mystery, it’s just safe and standardized. I could go on.
But it’s mega popular and people are emotionally invested, so there’s not much to be done about it. There are dozens of people playing the thousands of other games out there.
Also a lot of people have never played anything else, so their analysis and defense of it is often lacking. Like if I’ve only ever played baseball, and never even watched any other sports, I wouldn’t feel qualified to talk about bowling. But you get people saying like “no you need to wear cleats that’s a universal property of sports” when bowling comes up. Like, not every game has six stats. Not every game has attributes like that at all.
And again, if you’re having fun with dnd then that’s the primary goal achieved. We don’t need to maximize fun and efficiency in all things all times. I just think that it would be a good experience to branch out more, even if it’s scary, because that will lead to a richer experience overall.

The really steep one that’ll give me a heart attack.
Vinyl sounds shit. It reintroduces all the issues digital audio solved decades ago. I have heard vinyl rips made with equipment that costs as much as a new bmw and it has constant and frequent quality issues like static. It also has to downgrade audio sometimes to prevent the needle from physically flying out. It is impossible for vinyl to sound as good as the digital master or flac version of it that it was made from. It WILL always sound worse even thanks to the fact that physical world is very flawed and imprecise.
People arguing otherwise are either deaf or need to look in the mirror and accept the fact that they enjoy vinyl for the experience not the sound quality.
Meh, the under lying extra noise is what those people are looking for and not the purity of the sound. Which supposedly ties back to the inherent sound of live music which isn’t cleaned up digitally.
It’s all potatoes no matter which kind of audiophile a person is.
Yeah the sound and the experience of the hassle is what makes vinyl worth experiencing but there is a large portion who claim vinyl sounds the highest quality.
Don’t debate on things we have little to no expertise/personal experience in. [insert really divisive issue here], I am not [this group of people], [other group of people], and don’t have the legal/medical/[insert other relevant thing] background to comment on this issue.
If you ignore those hot issues, you can focus on the important things that matter in life. Like what’s for breakfast tomorrow morning.
The big Costco muffins were 1000x better than the new ones.
I miss those bad boys so much. Especially the chocolate ones
Yes! Give me some bullshit supermarket cupcakes all day over one of those dumb boutique shops, and homemade over that but who’s got the time these days.
While I’m here cakenuts != donuts, donuts require dough not batter and all dunkin style “donuts” are a big ol’ lie which would be ameliorated by admitting they’re cakenuts.
I will never play a game that needs admin elevation to run, I don’t care how good it allegedly is.
I’ve missed out on playing several games with friends due to this stance. Star Wars: The Old Republic was the first I can remember. Marvel Rivals is the most recent.
Bootstrap CSS is the cancer of web development and it’s use implies a misunderstanding and ignorance of your craft.
2FA is too inconvienient* and I think using a password manager to generate a very long password is good enough.
Software 2FA is not even that much more secure to be worth the inconvienience.
And for hardware 2FA keys, there is a higher chance for me to misplace those keys than getting hacked. (I don’t have friends to put a backup key in and I don’t wanna pay for a safe deposit box)
[*For me personally, your security needs might be different. I don’t work with any sensitive classified info or anything like that.]
I hate how companies act like our mommies and daddies needing to protect us. I should be able to make my password “coolguy” or “password” (not that I ever would) and if I get hacked that’s MY fault. It’s so annoying how it gets more and more complex as time goes on. I hate having to make it 90 characters long with 3 social securitiy numbers 10 special characters 3 katakana and 5 hiragana characters and at least 2 characters in Cyrillic
‘If you had read my email, you’d know that the three most common passwords are “Sex, secret, and GOD.” So if her Majesty would change her password?’
Tbf, I hate the maximum password character limit even more.
Like WTF even is that.
Minumum, I get it.
Maximum?!? 🤣 WTF LOL
I have a fucking password manager, let me use a 128 character password for fucks sake
Those sites are probably storing it in plaintext instead of hashing it like they’re supposed to, and so they set upper char limits. That makes it worse.
I really hate services that use 2FA but the app runs on your phone. Like the android app for ms teams still wants me to enter a 2FA code that I recieve on the same phone! This adds zero extra security, the teams app should just directly ask for my fingerprint if that is even necessary.
Modern medicine, no matter how smart and clever we think we are, still mostly involves doing things that just keep the patient amused while letting nature take it’s course.
Testosterone is the devil.
Being neuroatypical isn’t a fashion accessory. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and not being “normal” was marginalising and hard for everyone around. You’re not special or trendy because you self-diagnosed autism using an online questionnaire in 2023, you’re just an unbearable twat and you want to not have to take accountability for your own shitty attitude.
Respect pornstars.
I pay ‘em my respect every other night, like a gentlemen.
Those are rookie numbers! 😅
Also those who haven’t become stars.
Sex work is work.
Let’s get real.
Disrespect for such proffesions spells out, what is pretty fucking obvious (Pun intended, obviously), to everyone that isn’t the narcissist and his cult of Jesus Snow Crash. He isn’t crippling the market and preventing the exchanges. He’s stealing money from both side of those in the exchange and preaching to the cult that all things wrong and responsible with labels.
This, because the fact is that he’s so ugly, incompetent, lacking self care, and predominantly of zero integral character deserving any respect. He’s mad about people that are just ugly or whatever getting laid by any means when he tried and burnt half his face and body when he tried not to listen to her say no and she already saw it coming.
Not only is it acceptable to consider such to not be criminal, it’s fucking respectable and when she says no and you can’t deal with it, or shit, start some narcisstic denial cult…
De dana dan, de dana dan, de dana dan, de dana dan De, de, de, dana dan, de, de, de
What the fuck are you on about? Are we playing a game of Non Sequitur? If we are, here’s my turn:
I’ve got new socks on.
I wil give an explination of the very last paragraph:
Bloodywood - Dana Dan
I know.
The rest of the bullshit is what I’m talking about.
At any rate you show no signs of knowing how to actually converse, so goodbye.
