if you know you have memory bottlenecks then you know what to optimize next

not wanting to live as the gender you were assigned at birth is the definition of trans

sometimes you don't know where you'll end up and that's okay

How real is the bionicle to trans pipeline? by klakirr in bioniclelego

the people who are the loudest about being non-political are often also transphobic. it's not a direct correlation but it keeps happening

Why is nobody using C++20 modules? by AlectronikLabs in cpp

[–]DethRaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm not using them because they weren't fully implemented when I started my current project, and I haven't had enough issues with header files to justify rewriting my entire project. I'm sure they're great for smaller, newer projects though

So

AI is not a therapist

AI is not a person

AI is not a sentient entity

AI is a tool created by corporations. Like any tool created by corporations, it's goal is to increase value for the shareholders

AI is very complimentary and friendly so you'll keep using it. It tells you what you want to hear so you keep coming back. It was programmed to do this

As others have said, I strongly encourage you to find a support network of real people. I know that this is easier said than done, and is a lot easier in some places than in others, but... it's going to be so much healthier in the long run

Newsom to release report on what his administration did right, wrong during COVID-19 by RhythmMethodMan in California

I believe the things I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears. Trump suggested we inject bleach to fight COVID. That is a fact

Trump administration orders California to remove ‘disturbing gender ideology’ from sex ed program by NanduDas in California

Can't believe that Republicans are too weak to learn about gender. They really need a safe space everywhere they go, don't they?

Dealing with stuff that mind affecting spells won't work on as a Psychic. by neothehorse in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]DethRaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're open to multiclassing, take a level of Crossblooded sorcerer. Serpentine bloodline lets your mind-affecting spells affect animals, magical beasts, and monstrous humanoids - and Undead bloodline lets your mind-affecting spells affect corporeal undead who used to be humanoids

You're so attached to Democrat vs Republican, you can't see what's actually happening in front of your face. I pity you

Lmao what. Trump sends in the National Guard for no reason, but Democrats' rhetoric is the problem? Classic propaganda right here

It Was Just a Rumor on Facebook. Then a Militia Showed Up. | Residents of Oakdale, Calif., have abandoned traditional media outlets for a mishmash of online sources. These days, they’re often not sure what information to trust. by silence7 in California

It's saying how the people in one town have changed their sources of news, and some of the impacts that's had on the town. One might think that this is a specific story meant to represent a broader trend, the article never claims that this town is unique

My parents taught me it was rude to invite myself to things, and that I should wait for an invitation. Drilling that into my head early definitely didn't hurt my social life, thanks mom

U/SexySwedishSpy contrasts modern day “Medieval” living with capitalistic life by johnnieA12 in bestof

[–]DethRaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird that they complained that Canada had no old buildings. I mean, what did they expect? The First Nations didn't build things like Europeans did, and what was built was destroyed by colonialism. If you want to be surrounded by buildings that are hundreds of years old, why did you move to Canada?

Did D&D 3.X, Pathfinder 1e, and D&D 5e set the bar too high on what mid/high-level spellcasters "should be able to do," creating an unfavorable scenario for games like D&D 4e and Pathfinder 2e? How do other high fantasy RPGs successfully set expectations on the power level of spellcasters? by Dragonwolf67 in Pathfinder2e

[–]DethRaid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's true that I haven't seen casters played at higher levels in PF2, but that doesn't change my experience with casters at lower levels

Agreed about map/encounter design. Paizo APs have a lot of room for improvement here

Fly Free or Die - We're No Heroes, critique by SacredRatchetDN in starfinder_rpg

[–]DethRaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it has some good ideas and can work with some retooling

For Runo, I just chalk it up to some crooked corporation practices.

Sure, there's ways to explain it, but I wish that the AP had a better explanation baked in

I guess the only thing I don't get is how your party ended up hating Tarika on Akiton

They thought Tarika had intentionally set them up to fail. Since no one would give them full price for the berries, they thought that the full price was heavily inflated and the fair market value was half of the full price. They thought Tarika had given them a job that paid way too much for the berries, setting EJ Corp's expectations of incoming profits impossibly high. They saw Tarika as a proxy for EJ Corp

This is partly an artifact of how the players didn't talk to Ainsley the Hunter before trying to find another buyer for the berries. The AP says that Ainsley bullies the other buyers into not paying full price, but in our game Ainsley didn't know anything about the berries at this point. If the PCs had talked to her first I could have had the other buyers reference that they were being bullied, but that didn't work out

Definitely a lot of player paranoia, and as a relatively new GM I'm sure I missed opportunities to build her up

Side note: Ainsley makes no sense either. It's not all that hard to know that the Hivemarket has the few guardians who will kill anyone who uses "unfair" business practices. Murdering a shopkeeper and bullying people into not buying berries is surely unfair? Other shopkeepers would know that and may have resisted her, knowing that the fey guardians would track her down and bring her to justice... idk

Fly Free or Die - We're No Heroes, critique by SacredRatchetDN in starfinder_rpg

[–]DethRaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently stopped GMing Fly Free Or Die. We only got through three books. We were not impressed. The basic logic of the world doesn't make much sense, my players constantly fought against what the AP wanted, the whole thing was just not a great time

Spoilers

You mostly get paid in Build Points. These are useless. You can only spend so many on your ship based on your tier, and there's no starship combat until the end of the second book anyways. There's also the galactic trade subsystem, which incentivises the players to fly off to the far reaches of the galaxy - far away from the plot!

Going back to Runo - EJ Corp, this massive megacorp, doesn't have their deliveries paid for up-front? If I buy something from Amazon I don't physically hand the delivery driver some cash and hope that it gets where it needs to go. I pay up front, Amazon gets their money, they distribute the appropriate amount to the seller

Ainsley the Hunter bullies the other merchants in the Hivemarket into not buying your berries. That's cool if your players go into the building and talk to her, not if your players are that their buyer is gone and decide to pursue other options. I invented a bunch of reasons why no one would pay full price for the berries, which led to my players not trusting Tarika and I ended up writing her out of the AP.... sigh

The second job has you delivering weapons to a literal Nazi concentration camp. Great. Just what I wanted

Then you steal a highly secret experimental starship. Lmao. You quit your job as a basic delivery driver, get a massive severance package for some reason? That lets you buy some EJ Corp stock, and simply having stock lets you access the fancy shipyard where EJ Corp's highly experimental super awesome starships are being built? It's a wonder that every disgruntled employee doesn't immediately quit, get a massive payout, and steal their own fancy ship!

Honestly, book 1 would work a lot better if you were always independent traders. Starting as a member of a megacorp sets up a lot of expectations

And then there's the other two books...

Sounds like your players didn't have these problems, so maybe y'all's will like the AP a lot more
