Man
(Whereas wotc being a terrible company that mistreats its players is straight up fact)
Okay but as long as we are complaining about shit we see on RPG forums
"I wish I could do $thing in DnD"
"$otherSystem has a very cool subsystem for $thing"
"Omg how dare you"
Had this conversation enough times to make it a pet peeve of mine
Anyway the only thing about 5e that does suck is Wizards of the Coast. Otherwise it's fine. It's just fine. You can have fun with it.
I'm more of a Pathfinder 2e guy tho.
(And pf2 is basically a more advanced take on what 5e was doing so....)
I'm going to 1450 and giving the natives guns before the Spaniards and the Portuguese arrive.
Without them, anglos probably won't bother either.
Ah yes
The return of the 1900s patent medicine era
Except now they'll claim it was approved by AI instead of calling it "secret slur for natives medicine"
An explained joke might lose its funny in the moment
But you also ensure future jokes riffing on similar ideas will land better. ;)
And I am glad it works for all of you
My eyes just glaze over really fast.
Grand Theft Auto
The whole concept is profoundly uninteresting to me
And I feel there is a fundamental tension between the enjoyable part of the games (Over-the-top city chaos with lots of explosions, often aided by cheats) and what the games WANT to be (serious crime dramas I think?)
We have a term here in Brazil, for appointed "job" positions that seem to have no responsibilities and are basically a way for rich people to place their relatives and such in places close to power:
Aspone. Assessor de Porra Nenhuma. Translates to like "Advisor of Fucking Nothing"
Ok but that sounds like exactly the kind of shit test God puts people through in religious parables.
Give them an unbelievable and entirely random thing that SAYS it's supernaturally evil (and it actually is, but it's also so out of left field--) and if they don't take the warning at face value and put it back down they will go to hell forever or something.
Column A, Column B
The trick is to introduce your kid to your taste in gaming while they're young
And then when they are in their tweens and want to game online with their mates, you set them up for it (with proper supervision and such, of course)
And they WILL develop their own taste in gaming -- But they will have some common ground with you still.
.... It worked for me and my dad (avid PC gamer, mostly plays strategy games and management sims though) anyway. Years later I convinced him to get Civ V and he completely destroyed me in it.
I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?
Like.
If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?
Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?
Now I hate Gnome
But:
- Harrassing the creators is cringe, even if they make (undeniably-very-competently-made-but-by-virtue-of-dumb-choices-rendered-into) bad computer programmes
- Wayland is good actually, Gnome or otherwise.
Like I'm not one of THOSE. I know higher = better with framerates.
BUT. I'm also old. And depending on when you ask me, I'll name The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as my favourite game of all time.
The original release of that game ran at a glorious twenty frames per second. No, not thirty. No, not even twenty-four like cinema. Twenty. And sometimes it'd choke on those too!
.... And yet. It never felt bad to play. Sure, it's better at 30FPS on the 3DS remake. Or at 60FPS in the fanmade recomp port. But the 20FPS original is still absolutely playable.
Yet like.
I was playing Fallout 4, right? And when I got to Boston it started lagging in places, because, well, it's Fallout 4. It always lags in places. The lag felt awful, like it really messed with the gamefeel. But checking the FPS counter it was at... 45.
And I'm like -- Why does THIS game, at forty-five frames a second, FEEL so much more stuttery and choked up than ye olde video games felt at twenty?

This meme¹ made the rounds here on Lemmy some days back.
And NSFW artists in the Furry fandom will often talk about how payment processors give them guff.
It holds true in lived memory, but like...
... Why?
I actually understand it for Google Ads and the like -- Google, Metabook, Bytedance et al. are really just advertisement companies with a side-gig in providing online services, and if you're an advertisement company, then "how other corporations perceive you" is what you live and die by, which forces the whole "corporate sanitisation" thing down on the users. -- So like. It does make sense, even if it's hateable.
But for the likes of Visa, and Master Card, and whatnot -- It doesn't? As I understand it their whole thing is they transfer money between parties and take a cut of the transactions. (and also give credit and charge interests on that and such) -- Why the fuck would they care what those transactions are about, so long as people are... Transacting, and thus giving them their cut?
¹ Reuploaded as an image because I couldn't be fucked to find it again.
I know this isn't quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can't think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A -- Non-youtube-y place.
Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.
Title. While doing some other work, he realised that underneath the console where his TV went, there were a bunch of cables from past-inhabitants-of-this-house's cable TV setups.
He reasoned he'd solve this by sawing off those unseemly white cables, thus opening space for new stuff.
Except... The ethernet cable that connected the internet router to the Switch that routed it all over the house, connecting to our shared family homeserver and such? Yeah, it was also white, and also down there.
So. My dear ol' dad took a saw to his internet. And chopped it down. Now he'll need to call someone to run the cables through the walls again (this is Brazil. Walls are solid concrete. Running new cables through walls is NOT easy!)
EDIT: It is fixed. And all it took was me and the technician spending 8 hours running around the apartment, pushing/pulling cables into/from holes in the wall, and yelling "DO YOU SEE ANY MOVEMENT?"
