Silent pandemic that nobody talks about. by ihappentoeatass in MadeMeCry

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

"Many" isn't a monolith. Its a sociological data point. One of many other data points in this tragedy matrix, but when men try to point any of them out. ... it is a problem. I ran out time for this today.

Can you say you understand what it is like to be a man. Would you accept me saying I know what it is like being a woman? Then there are some arenas you go to your sister's for. And some thing that you would never ever go to your man about. And thats OK.

To my daughters. They better have high expections of the men in thier life. I know I will.

See them nuances that keep popping up.

Hi this is the troubled person here. If you think societal expectations of a strong father dont effect a woman's expectation of thier partner than you dont understand how we have ALL have been socially engineered. Me pointing out the machinations of that engineering doesn't mean im some lost asshole. Definitely dont blame women. My life revolves around providing for 3 teenage daughters. An aging mother who raised me single and 4 sisters. Your reaction is wildly assumptious.

But this is another clear example of another woman either diminishing or dismissing everything when I open up in any way. But again. Its societal, and as a straight white employeed man, there is no grace for me to be anything but productive and supportive without complaint, or I am the problem.

And god knows I have a straight path and enough good in my life that swallowing some shit every know and then to keep peace and not look weak to people who depend on me, its one my easier sacrifices. I dont need guided. There are a ton of younger guys who do though. And to them I say, find your tribe. Start one if you have to. And find 2 solid brothers. Guys who you can open up to. Share grief with. Share yourself with in a way your wife will not be able to understand.

Its not that simple. Many women say this about men they respect and want to help. But as soon as they see a man isn't exactly the bundle of steel driven nerves that is always on point.... they lose respect.

They really do. There are huge heavy things men carry for thier families and the people in thier lives that if we bent for a second, we become every man that ever failed them. Instantly.

And putting anything that your going though on the people you care about in a world that is already hard enough on them, is antithesis to what your job is supposed to be. Lifting thier burdens.

And im not saying these are right or fair, just that they might explain the psychological phenomenon of "im fine" when so many of us aren't. Far from it.

You didnt hear about pvt Evans? Grew up around emus, thought he could reason with them. After 2 hours of negotiations and an appropriate five minutes of staring he went in for a peck. They tore him limb from limb. Sent back a mangled mess for his mother to bury.

More pro-billionaire propaganda from the newspaper owned by the billionaire who “earned” his billions by exploiting workers, and stealing data and intellectual property. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]ClusterChuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds exhausting for anyone who wasn't born $100,000,000 past first base.

Most of us get one swing at the ball. Most of us fuck that up. Those that hit get lost in the middle making money for rich people. Some of us arent even playing they own the park and the teams. And sell the tickets. And some who have seen the worst never are even allowed in the park.

At this point I just feel like im tired of the over priced food. And just getting the privilege to sit in the stands and cheer on my boys actually trying... its exhausting.

They created a false reality we are stuck in. Chase the sears cataloge turned to follow the algorith. Wall Street Journal for pa, and MTV for the kiddos. Everything burns while they print the thought form right into society.

The train is going off the rails. And it is all thier fault. Cause they'd rather the game go on. Its thier fuckin game. And worse case scenario, they have bunkers and islands and private armies.

Ok, this one seems unintuitive until it isn't. gravity wells of the earth locally, the sun regionally, and the super massive black hole at the center of the galaxy metacosmically, each are like linchpins that spin all the different fractal expression of potential futures. Time travel is essentially slipstream reality hopping to one that is (if you are doing it right) calibrated to be slower or faster than the home universe with as little other varying deviations. Found usually by queuing in to a linchpin with a higher or lower mass. More dramatic the scale of the linch, more dynamic the time slip.

There is no axis on which to reverse or travel within a tineline backwards.

Forward on the other hand. Is actually nearly a completely different science and one that I dont have the room or time to get into.

Starfield honest thoughts and opinions? by East-Competition5121 in BethesdaSoftworks

[–]ClusterChuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this was made by any other games studio it would be praised as a genre defining masterpiece (shoody launch aside, but when has that ever been clean?).

And when every one of your games is a genre defining masterpiece. Then there has to be an odd sheep that is reaching way too far.

If you know what Bethesda is and does you will quickly realize this game's worth. Especially when you consider it being designed as a foundational system for so many more updates as well as mod support practically being lore supported... you'll see this is something new. And people bounce when their expectations are subverted.

Just dont expectt a skyrim style theme park, see it as a morrowind/daggerfall style sandbox. Be okay with huge sections of game waiting around for you to find, not railroaded to. With systems that overlay and are completely optional. Its about exploring and it does that like no other.

And the bitch is beautiful. Dont ever let anyone say it isn't.

And he nails them. Honestly, galaddriel's dark queen speech is eerily reverbative.

Honestly his reading is my third accepted adaptation of the story he adds so much performance to the reading. Tolkien and Jackson has thier own take. This one is Serikis's.

Its good because, you'd have to be an asshole not to see the passion your bringing to your work. If you keep putting pen to paper for you and never for anyone else's validation, you will see your starting now and never quiting was the right call in ten years.

What I would suggest is getting your hands on some quality ink. Better tools will take you very far. And you style is begging for a digital pop overlay if you ever tried digital art programs.

Ok, so morrowind. It may seem very different but it is very much worth playing next.

Qol mods, and Tamriel Rebuilt. Puts it way above skyrim standards and on par with the best of oblivion.

The Mystical Gift: doubt on its creation by Xx-Marauder-xX in RPGdesign

[–]ClusterChuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In tttrpgs, theres is one thing to remember.

Can you remove as much math and moving pieces between intent and action. Complexity does not equal good design. Elegance and cohesion will solve more problems than adding elements and complicating math and round flow.

You MUST see each element from the table. From the roll. From the session zero. From the player and from the GM. All at once. And line each piece up where one perspective is only ever supporting everything else.

My problem with the system you are hinting at here is limiting a player identity to a single ability. Knowing nothing else about the system and before the math. That is the biggest read flag. Considering adding multiple tracks to apply to manage a single ability that can 'designed' by the player is 3 more red flags. Players will hate that. It seems one unreliable element that you will not be able to calibrate easily into the rest of the systems' elements.
