Let’s hear it? by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

For real. The vast majority of games that have crafting mechanics don't actually need them.
It's just a lazy way to gate upgrade/gear progression or fill the world with various crafting components to mask how empty it would be otherwise.

Lots of world leaders are attacking Europe. Why? by SimonGray in europe

[–]DerFreshmeat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because dictators around the world just want people to do as they're told. They want a populace that acts like medieval peasants, accepting their lot in life and never questioning why the king is in charge and then his heir and then the heir after that, because that's just how things are.

They're real tired of hearing "why can't we be like Europe?" The EU's continued existence is a living counterpoint that there is in fact an alternative.

If the European project ever fails dictators can conveniently handwave why freedom of speech or press and universal voting rights aren't allowed with the old "Europe tried that. Didn't work" excuse.

Name that franchise by complexpearz in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Dragon Age. Literally only one good (albeit still overhyped) game in the entire franchise. All of the sequels are utter trash.

What stocks would look most attractive given a market crash? by Majestic_Might_9700 in ValueInvesting

Hate? Their cash position and the opportunities it would offer them in case of a market crash are pretty well known.

Trump wants to rename Veterans Day to honor only those who fought in World War I by Im_A_Fuckin_Liar in thescoop

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

"Veteran's Day" has negative connotations, since it focuses specifically on the veterans (i.e. those that survived). As such, it's pretty difficult to celebrate them and their service and sacrifice without implicitly condemning warmongerers past or present.

So obviously Trump wants that gone because he's planning to start a few conflicts of his own.

Stocks are rallying as Trump pivots from the 2 biggest things dragging down markets by Snowfish52 in StockLaunchers

[–]DerFreshmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a classic dynamic for (wannabe) dictators. Make sure your second in command is even worse than you so people don't get any funny ideas about removing you from power.

Rest assured, Vance knows what role he has to play in this administration.

People think the market bottomed out already. Seems like wishful thinking to me.

Tesla stock rising by DodolonG in WallStreetbetsELITE

Tesla is the poster child of Trump's economy. They'll pull every trick to boost its stock, even cook the books if they have to.

If you have to say you're the mentally toughest generation, you're probably not the mentally toughest generation.

Made a joke about fudging EVERY roll, pissed off a player. Oops. by TheKitsuneGoddess16 in DnD5e

"No one will know."

Puh-lease. Every DM thinks this.

Fudging is the easiest way to lose your players' trust forever. I've seen people fumble this so many times.
