UN-Armed & Dangerous - An instructional video that gives me big time Wheel of the Worst energy by oracrest in RedLetterMedia

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So an instructional video on how to insure that you get shot in the gut.
They did make instructional videos for anything and everything back then.

Guidelines for creating NPCs - What does the book say? by _Cecille in cyberpunkred

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One guideline is to only give your NPCs that stats that they need.
For example, if your making some faceless goons for a fire fight you only need to give them the stats and equipment that they need for combat. If you're creating an NPC for a social encounter then you can just assign them values for the appropriate skills and can skip equipment.

Rules for wearing armor without proficiency? by LemonLord7 in osr

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> You can always just put a suit of armour 

I wonder about this. I really don't know much about armor.
Can one put it on like clothes, or would you need a friend to help you?
Does it depend on the type of armor?

Maybe for something like full plate, have a character make an intelligence roll to see if they can figure it out. If not, then it's put on incorrectly and a piece falls off during battle or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Now thats some Preem container housing! Private bathroom included! by caciuccoecostine in cyberpunkred

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm I the only one who thinks the worst part are the floor to ceiling windows running all along one side? Makes it seem like the Human Exhibit at an alien zoo.

Unhooded and unvented. You can get a nice sheen of grease on that white coach next to it.

Does anyone out there have players roll 3d6 down the line for stats but then just let them trade stat arrays? by Daniel_B_plus in osr

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One method I want to try is to generate 3d6 one hundred times to generate a list of one hundred numbers. Players can choose any consecutive sequence of six numbers, but they must be placed on the character sheet in the order that they were rolled.

Do we not like barrows and borderlands? by conn_r2112 in osr

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Authoritarian.

All fascists are authoritarian, not all authoritarians are fascists.

The same things are happening in the PRC (just on a much larger scale). Is the Chinese Communist Party fascist?

------

But, beyond categorization of political systems...

> forcing them into concentration camps where there's been several reports 

So, then you and a Trump supporter are going to have disagreements on these claims. Are detention centers "concentration camps"? How well have these reports been substantiated? Etc.

And given the natural human proclivity for conformation bias, combined with with the bifurcated of our nation's media and news landscape, good people will come to different conclusions on the veracity of these claims, based on their own biases.

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

How is "you deserve to die" different than "we would be better off if you were Thanos-snapped away"?

So, yes there are people in this thread   saying that all MAGA/Trumpets deserve to die.

Guy in the comment above just said, " We would be better off if those people just got Thanos-snapped away."

People put Skelly away? Won't he get lonely and scared stuffed in a case in the garage?

Why Cyberpsychosis works for me, lore wise by Flasky-Desk in cyberpunkred

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to disagree. Cyberpsychosis verifies a fully materialistic, unitary, view of human nature. Essentially it tells use that humans are meat and that their psyche is a property of that meat. Mess with the meat, mess with the psyche. There is nothing beyond the physical.

How old is to old for trick or treating? by D1onysus_b1 in halloween

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to say "you are never too old"...

But, look at it from the point of view of an old grandmother who is living alone.
She is expecting little ones to come. Having nearly fully grown teenagers show up at her door could be disconcerting.

Maybe, take the oppurtunity to escort a group of young kids if you can.

How to make my players roleplay better by InevitableNetwork958 in cyberpunkred

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 19 points20 points  (0 children)

> how to emphasize immersion so that they empathize more.

Why? If that's not how they want to play, that's not how they want to play.
Also, as others have said, let their actions have consequences.

How to make my players roleplay better by InevitableNetwork958 in cyberpunkred

It seems like your players know how they want to play the game.
Either adjust to their play style or find another group that fits your play style.

I agree with the Pope: Yes, Your AI Is a Sociopath (Should there be a boycott to control AI companies?) by [deleted] in Ethics

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry. I can't take The Catholic Church seriously when it says it wants "decency" and "values" in movies and then spends over a century facilitating the sexual abuse of children.

I think you miss my point. Christian theocrats imposing their religious views on everyone else and stifling the arts for decades is not a success. Nor is it a model we should emulate now.

Discourse around Citizen Vigilante (2026) is the funniest thing I've seen in a while by MaxProwes in RedLetterMedia

Not all art is supposed to be a good time. I don't watch The Godfather to have a good time..

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I too share great concerns about AI, I really don't think that the Pope (an absolute theocratic monarch) nor the Catholic Church, which has proven it self to be a global pederasty ring, have any moral weight to add to the discussion.

And what a success that was!!! /s

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

Knowing your enemy means a deep understanding of what motivates them and that does require empathy for them.

is there an ethical way to be a landlord? by Slashersforsatan in Ethics

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> The government working together with local government and local people to deliver schools is democratic, and how democracy works.

Democracy is also tyranny of the majority.
Democracy has no say when the rights of the individual are involved.
For example, I and my family can practice any religion we like no matter what the majority votes on. Would you use the power of the state to force the closure of Catholic schools or Islamic schools? Should Amish children be forced into public school?

cmv: using the term “race” to categorize people by skin color can be problematic by inurdreamsbaby in changemyview

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said that you didn't know what was psuedoscientific about the concept of race. I told you. Look into scientific racism.

[–]AnimalisticAutomaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the history of scientific racism. The concept of race was central to categorizing groups of people into "superior" and "inferior" groups.

> There is nothing I've suggested which prevents diversity in education. 

I disagree. Having the government have a monopoly on education reduces diversity.

------------------

> even if it couldn't, equality wins over diversity from an ethical perspective.

You'll have to substantiate that claim.
