  • I guess? Mutually assured destruction is a form of brinkmanship that I'm not sure if I'm comfortable attempting. I won't judge you for how you choose to defend yourself against this administration but I will say that guns rarely deescalate a situation. I truly hope that ICE or the FBI or whoever actually do back down from more violent actions if they fear for their lives, but I feel like it's more likely that they will simply engage in greater shows of force. Maybe that will wake more people up to what they're doing.

  • I don't believe in the horse shoe theory except when it comes to gun owners larping about rising up against the government.

  • I don't blame those who didn't vote for Kamala for her stance on Israel, I get it. I'm just tired of people who didn't vote specifically against Trump then act really surprised that the Democrats are putting up an anemic defense of our rights, because in theory they should have expected it, given how they voted. Asking why Democrats aren't stopping fascism when you ostensibly did not support them because you felt they would not do enough to stop fascism should be readily apparent.

    I am not using "you" here as in you, piefood, just as a general you

  • I mean, "neatly lost" here is a disingenuous phrase for "won". The 2020 election wasn't even particularly close either, in terms of the Electoral College, which is unfortunately the only part that really.

    I agree with you otherwise, so sorry for the pedantry. Dems should have definitely learned from the midterms, and they should have learned Biden was too old for a second term even before he announced he'd run again.

    I'd say I hope they learn from 2024 but I doubt it.

  • "Literal" has been used metaphorically for emphasis by better writers than you, centuries before you were born. Shut up.

  • Good player guidance?

    Jump

  • I wanted it to be “explore the cursed island full of monsters and traps”, and one of the players just wanted to open a restaurant. No. Bad.

    Respectfully, that player is an ass.

    A game about opening a restaurant sounds really fun. Playing a character like that in a different kind of game ain't the time or place though.

    I just started running a game of Broken Compass, and I truly am blessed to have my group, because they're great, but we still all built characters together as part of session zero so I could make sure they all fit the theme of the story I'm trying to have them inhabit.

  • Good player guidance?

    Jump

  • Lean into it. Engage wih the mechanics and the theme of the game.

    Don't have a huge backstory laid out, because it's fun to be able to make stuff up in the moment without it having to be a huge retcon.

    Know what everything on your sheet does.

  • Ah, the perfect reminder that people on Lemmy can be just as big of dipshits as people on reddit were.

  • There is a difference between talking about sex and gender and something being sexual. If a shopkeeper mentions his husband, I can extrapolate that he's at least bi, but that doesn't mean the game is sexual.

  • They probably bought it from someone who previously had rented it out.

  • Either the fees didn't jump straight to $930 from $110 or the person didn't do due diligence in reviewing the condo's budget before they bought.

  • The Cosmere RPG handles classes very differently from Pathfinder or DnD

    Jump

  • I mean, I think "very" in the title is a stretch. It's Pathfinder 2e's feat-centric system but without multiclass restrictions. Which is fine, but Wildsea did it better and doesn't encumber you with levels (though I have problems with its advancement system).

    Very much a "Wow, Brandon Sanderson. I guess I hadn't ever thought about leveling in that specific way before." moment. Nothing really revolutionary unless you locked yourself in the D&D dungeon already.

  • Trump accuses Obama of treason in escalating attacks over 2016 Russia probe

  • Can't wait to see how the conservative majority on the supreme court bends over backwards to say their ruling that said Presidents can do anything they want doesn't actually apply to the black one.

  • Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse

    Jump

  • When you use apple or android pay, it generates a temporary card number etc and uses that, which means if that payment terminal gets compromised, your card number etc isn't exposed. Your bank could probably do something similar without Google or Apple as the middleman, but until they do, mobile pay will remain a killer app.

  • GMs - What are your methods to mitigate no-shows?

    Jump

  • Respectfully, the "just schedule it when people are good" is the quickest way to a game dissolving because no one's times work for anyone else. If it's managed to work for you, incredible, you are very lucky, but that's such bad general group advice. The key to groups staying together long term is picking a day and being consistent with it.

  • Ttrpg in the night-time econonmy: where can a group get a table in public at night?

    Jump

  • To be fair, in the lemmy interface this looks like a text post with a random neocities link included, as opposed to a link post. Also, the url is just for page 75 of that site, which nothing is inherently wrong with it, but it doesn't really give context clues to what the link has to do with the question.

  • So what are your favorite, or just memorable, out-of-print RPGs?

    Jump

  • I guess technically the first edition is out of print, so Vaults of Vaarn, an OSR adjacent hack of Knave set in a world that's basically Dune but weirder.
