Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.

Gotta chase that sweet, sweet live service money though.

But earlier this month, he said he would move the company’s headquarters to Austin, citing a new Golden State law meant to protect LGBTQ+ children as the “final straw.”

Imagine being so full of hate for a highly vulnerable group of people that you base your business decisions around it.

The bananas won’t be fooled, because everyone knows that bananas are straight until they get picked and the banana bender puts the bend in them.

The thought of seeing someone shouting “Train!” still gives me nostalgia.

Including humans. I’m not going near the person launching pinecones at my head from their yard.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn’t mean that it’s not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The “idiot” comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

Why so often? I just updated my almost 10 year old PC that had one gpu upgrade in its life, and was still happily playing the 10 year old games I wanted to play.

Then I got the new PC with decent specs and decided to push its limits with some Stardew Valley.

It’s Australia. Everything tries to kill you.

Have you also been forgetting to covert votes to metric before you send them?

A certain portion of the population seems to already deify anything Trump says.

It depends on what the author was actually trying to say. I’ve never pretended to know what their intention was, and they haven’t added any further commentary to let us know.

You asked why the comment was getting downvoted. I responded with how the comment could be interpreted in a way that warrants downvotes.

You seem to have taken that proposed explanation very personally for some reason.

Way too harsh there.

What if someone wants to be a cripple? Wouldn’t healing them ruin their self esteem?

Your earlier comment was not “what if someone wants to role-play a cripple?” If it was meant to mean that, I don’t understand the relevance of healing hurting their self esteem. Whose self-esteem? The player’s, or the character’s?

The response made sense by querying why would a character want to be crippled, not why a player would find it interesting to do so.

I just got here, but I’d guess it’s because their comment reads like they are saying “no, facists aren’t the bad guys, both sides show contempt for the weak sometimes!” It’s a false balance fallacy.

I’m not sure if that was the intention, or it was just unfortunately worded.

It charges up during the day like one of those glow in the dark stickers, obviously.

They had Australian servers about 10 years ago. I quit when they closed them down, forcing people to transfer their characters to servers with that where considerably more laggy.

I don’t agree with the overall view there.

The example the blog gives is: “I flash the barkeep my best smile, order a cup of ale and pay with a handsome tip and try to get him talking about the local rumours in a chatty friendly manner.” The mistake in the reasoning is assuming the GM must call for a roll.

From my point of view, players don’t call for rolls, the GM does. Players just say what they are trying to do. While the GM can call for a roll in a situation, they don’t have to. Something might just succeed or not. What if the barkeep likes gossiping with anyone who walks in the door, no matter how persuasive the other person is?

It’s also odd that they state in the d20 version of the example “the roleplaying doesn’t actually affect the outcome” right after suggesting the GM give a +2 modifier to the roll for the roleplaying.
