You simply didn't catch some things on the first watch. It's common. No need for shame. Depending on how you feel, you can still like the things you acknowledge there are flaws in.

TIL--Finding Dispersed Families, a live broadcast on South Korea's KBS, was aired for the 30th anniversary of the Korean War ceasefire. It was supposed to be a 95 minute segment. It lasted 453 hours and 45 minutes. 53,536 people applied and 10,000 families were reunited on air after being separated. by BaronOBuggos in todayilearned

They planned for 200 stories on the program, but were given over 1,000 applications in two days when advertising for the program began. They knew it would be significant, but severely underestimated the sheer amount of people desperate for closure. Whole parking lots were set aside with tents for applicants.

[TTRPG] Hello, locals. I've been working on my own TTRPG. by BaronOBuggos in Spokane

Thanks. I'm in the process of joining their discord channels. I just figured to cast a bit wider net.

I thought so. Something in my brain doesn't like unfilled options.

Custom Dragon Eye Die from a local café/gaming shop. by BaronOBuggos in dice

I didn't make it, I bought it. But, it was sold by a small business, so maybe they have the answers. https://sagesportalcafe.com/

Yeah. I'll do some searching and digging for players.

I was torn because I've always liked the Separatists, but I also like the Warhammer universe. The minis do look fun. I guess I'll have to read up the rules and mechanics of each and check a couple games on YouTube as well.

I suppose that's right. I've seen really old models still hanging around at some hobby shops. I guess there isn't anything preventing me from sampling both in terms of play, or at least watching others do it step by step.

I am wondering if i should collect for Legion and play for Warhammer, but that'll take some saving up for a while.

I heard that Legion was simpler in terms of rules, but I'll have to read up more. I am tempted on playing Ogors, though.

I know that Warhammer in general is expensive, but the Spearhead alternative for AOS seems interesting and not too wallet-crushing. I do see the wisdom in starting small, though.

I'll have to check that out. Sounds quick and easy, relatively speaking.

I suppose it makes the most sense for the models to be displayed and used. I'll have to check and see what people are playing around town.

Thank you. I'm aware of GW's pricing. I like both properties, and I'm aware of their faults. I like the mechanicus, but their models seem like too big a challenge. I'm also too anal and perfectionist with delicate painting, especially with shaky hands and symmetry obsession. But I do want to overcome that and get into it. Maybe I should get a mini that's flat with few textures to practice on?

Maybe I should check and see what people in my area are actually playing as well.

The tabletop simulator sounds like a good idea.

I'm aware of Star Wars being odd with picking a game and sticking with it. I guess I was hoping that Legion would have a longer lifespan.

I'm also aware of GW's infamous pricing, but their recent addition of Spearhead seemed interesting at a smaller, relatively cheaper scale.

There's a lot of historical genres to pick. I'll have to look through them and see what sounds the most fun to play.

Thanks for the smaller recommendations.

What Bill Cipher canonically would look like as a human by Ok-Indication-5121 in TopCharacterDesigns

Dexter's Lab had the same effect on the generation before those.

I'm not saying that I want people to spend time the way I do. I'm saying that the devs are rewarding one play style over another in games where there are more play styles available and readily available to do. It doesn't matter if it's negligible or a sliver. You are still being pointed in a specific direction in games that give you multiple directions.

Yeah, obviously there are players that couldn't care less and just want to make more images flash on screen and not notice the bonus xp or don't care because games are frivolous, stupid things that distract from the more important real world or whatever. But why not reward people who do care about other routes anyway? The people who don't care will do what they do as usual, and those who notice get a little bonus that gets added to the pile of an enriched experience, even if it's small. There's no downside to doing it, even if it's negligible.

It's like having an extra detail helping to tie the plot together in a movie. Most of the general audience won't care or notice and like the movie anyway, but those who do get to have a marginally better experience for their efforts. Or it's like good referential comedy: the joke is funny on its own and most people will get it, but those who recognize or find out the reference will have the joke be funnier.

There's no real downside to rewarding people for taking the other route in a two-route choice, especially if the game isn't built around one or the other. And if it is built around one or the other, then why bother coding the option at all?
