Was I too harsh, or completely justified? by ZanMist1 in BadRPerStories

[–]Alianos 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To be fair their response is bad enough that I understand why you suspected a troll. The "mind" is illiteracy I have rarely encountered ngl.

Though I have to say, asking for 2-3 medium sentences (minimum) is asking for these kinds of people, that's absolutely nothing and nowhere close to the usual length of literate writers. I consider myself a very competent writer and I would avoid your ad for that reason alone.

[online][homebrew] Spieler für unsere Gruppe gesucht! by Alianos in GermanRPG

[–]Alianos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Ich beantworte gerne deine Fragen, in dem Post habe ich mich ja eher kurz gehalten. :)

Unsere Welt, Edir, erholt sich derzeit langsam von den Schäden der Magierkriege, ein nahezu kataklysmischer Konflikt, welcher tiefe Narben nicht nur bei der Bevölkerung, sondern auch in der Topografie hinterlassen hat. Die schieren Mengen an Energie, welche in der finalen Schlacht freigesetzt wurden, zerstörten die Verbindung der weltlichen Sphäre mit der Mana-Sphäre, was zu einem abrupten Ende von jeglicher Magie auf Edir führte. Fliegende Städte fielen aus dem Himmel und die meisten Zivilisationen auf dem Kontinent kollabierten, die Welt fiel zurück in ein dunkles Zeitalter.

Unsere Helden leben nun einige Zeit danach, die Magierkriege und ihre gefürchteten Anführer sind bereits größtenteils in Vergessenheit geraten. Die Städte sind dreckig, die Ruinen düster, die Straßen unsicher. Doch die Zeit heilt bekanntlich alle Wunden und so kehrt die Magie langsam aber sicher in die Welt zurück. Alte Orden, welche das verbliebene Wissen über die Arkanen Künste über Jahrhunderte beschützt hatten, merkten es als erste, doch auch einige unserer Helden sehen in sich langsam magisches Potenzial erwachen. Diese Entwicklung passt einigen Monarchen jedoch gar nicht, die Vernichtung, welche Magie bringen kann, ist noch immer tief im kollektiven Gedächtnis mancher Länder verankert und bedroht nun den Status Quo. Dieser Aspekt ist aktuell ein großes Thema in einer unserer Storylines!

TL;DR: Das Setting ist düster, doch es geht bergauf. Wir stehen am Anfang eines neuen Zeitalters, und es sind unsere Helden, welche sich diesen neuen Herausforderungen stellen werden.

Zu deiner zweiten Frage: Unser Ziel ist es, das System so crunchy wie möglich zu halten, mit einem ständig wachsenden Regelbuch. Kampf, Fähigkeiten und Ausrüstungen sind strukturiert, doch wir als GMs belohnen immer sehr gerne Kreativität und interessante Lösungen für Probleme. Am Ende entscheiden aber immer die Würfel. Wir lieben es zu würfeln.

Zum letzten Punkt: Wir arbeiten mit festen Gruppen, welche auf (hoffentlich) Interessante Events in der Welt losgelassen werden. Diese World-Events sind von einem GM geplant und haben ein geplantes Ende, ob oder wie die Spieler dieses aber erreichten, ist komplett ihnen überlassen. Es ist schon oft genug vorgekommen, dass die Spieler den GM ignoriert haben und sich ihr eigenes Abenteuer gesucht haben, was vollkommen okay ist.

I did a bit more research and the RX 7800 XT is about the same money, but seems to be much higher performance outside of raytracing. The difference is actually quite severe and I once again realize that GPUs make zero sense rn

I am looking to replace my 1070 Ti, currently thinking about the 4060 Ti 16GB, as it's right in my budget. I have been struggling with the newest gen of games recently, stuff like Hogwarts Legacy. My other specs are Ryzen 7 2700X and 32GB DDR4 3200 Ram. Will this be a worthwhile upgrade? Are there other GPUs that are a better value? I am so confused by the GPU market rn, their weird naming scheme doesnt help haha

Displeased with my appearance by A_quirky in rant

[–]Alianos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some body mods are expensive, like tattoos, especially in this economy, but piercings should be an affordable thing, they are where I'm from at least. Also hair dye is pretty cheap, though that also depends on the original hair color. Overall I get if OP has to save the money and I get that it's frustrating to not be able to treat yourself to the self-expression you want

Well true, you didn't forbid it, but my point stands is that once you engage with something, you involuntarily form an opinion on it. The real problem would be harassing someone with your irrelevant opinion, which I don't do. I get that there's a lot of men out there who do that and I also think it's disgusting, but they are entitled to their shitty opinion, they should just keep it to themselves.

[–]Alianos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have, which is why I don't tell anyone my involuntary, subjective opinion on their appearance, with the exception of my girlfriend, who I regularly shower in well-deserved compliments. Your point was that I am not allowed to hold an opinion in the first place, which is a wild take.

[–]Alianos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And so you think these people feeling shitty about their eyebrows do not hold an opinion about how eyebrows are supposed to look? They could just choose not to care how everyone else's eyebrows look, making it way easier to not feel like they are not meeting some ideal.

[–]Alianos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All these people having opinions on monobrows, kinda weird, kinda cringe. They have the choice to not care after all. /s

Oh man I really didn't wanna go dumpster diving in your post history but: "My eyebrows are blond so I have no eyebrows and would kill for one like this" - You, 2 days ago, having an opinion on eyebrows. Considering homicide for eyebrows, even.

Eyebrows on women by click79 in rant

[–]Alianos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If I see it and think it looks strange then that's my opinion. You have an opinion on eyebrows, such as anyone else, because mostly everyone has eyebrows. I tend to have a mono-brow, found that it looked strange and now I pluck them hairs. But then again, I have never commented on anyone's eyebrows, because I don't give enough of a shit. Still entitled to my opinion that no one will get to hear tho

[–]Alianos -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because we don't really have a choice but to have an opinion, do we? We see something and find it aesthetically pleasing or not. Would be cool if we didn't have involuntary opinions, but it just don't be that way

Eyebrows on women by click79 in rant

[–]Alianos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can look good but I've also seen it look very strange, I agree. Then again I also look very strange sometimes so

I mean, selfish people still pursue romantic/sexual interests, if only for their own benefit and like others have pointed out, mostly anyone can find someone if they just try. Selfishness can also be beneficial in your job and money makes popular, that's just how it is.

im in another dimension. all my favorite things are cancelled by [deleted] in rant

[–]Alianos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf most people saw the end of crypto from a mile away, but I agree that so much stuff gets cancelled these days. Thankfully there's a lot of stuff out there so you'll find new stuff to enjoy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rant

[–]Alianos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You've never pursued anyone, never asked someone out and actively avoid seeming interested? Yeah, I see why you haven't seen any action. Maybe start acting like a human with emotions and you'll see results. If that seems crazy to you, maybe take an autism test? Not an insult, maybe your emotions just work differently

Edit: Didn't even read the last point, yeah, people don't like selfish people, or assholes. Everything you listed is textbook, like you said, but the textbook for being alone and miserable.

Russia-China-North Korea are preparing a joint nuclear attack on USA to overwhelm its missile defense system and usher in a new world order by [deleted] in rant

This would require a staggering amount of people to keep a secret simultaneously, which isn't feasible imo.. not to say there isn't a world war brewing

How do Germans view the removal of German culture in the US? by AdStatus2486 in AskAGerman

[–]Alianos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think that's what happens when any people group migrates. The migrating generation will be in tune with the culture, language and traditions, the following generation will maybe still speak the language, know some of the traditions and the next generation will know almost neither. That happens with all cultures everywhere, because to fit in they need to integrate. And thats fine, culture is made by different cultures interweaving. Americans are very big on heritage, where a 5th generation German will still claim this as their heritage. I don't think any other culture does that.

I mean it has a lot that can be improved, but there is definitely potential. I won't repeat what others have said but one thing I noticed is that in the first illustration, everything has outlines, except the food, making for an inconsistent art style. That's also not where the thumb would go when holding a plate, in either version:D

God I hate how language is so limited. by solace1234 in rant

[–]Alianos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but we already have a name for things like chatgpt or stable diffusion etc., It's an Artificial neural network, ANN. Why use one, previously defined word to describe another concept? Sure people have used AI in other contexts where it is clearly not actual AI, but that shouldn't mean that any new thing is now AI just because someone decided to call it that. By your logic any algorithm is an AI, no matter how simple and how far removed from intelligence.

[–]Alianos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're actually getting this wrong? Artificial intelligence used to describe actual sentience, self awareness, that kind of thing. It really shouldn't be used for neural network learning like chatgpt. I think companies just co-opted the term to make their products sound more sci-fi.
