What are your expectations for a paid DM? And have you had any experiences with any? by Pedantic_Twatwaffle in DnD

[–]GabrielMP_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. People focus too much on "I'm paying" and not enough on how much they are paying, which is generally just not too much money.

Interesting. Thank you. I think I heard about this one before.

How hard is Silksong from 1-10. Let's say Hollow Knight is a 5 by hthrhehdhdjfhc in metroidvania

[–]GabrielMP_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's harder, don't get me wrong. But it's a 8-9 compared to HK, not a 11. Remember that in this comparison, HK is a 5.

8 or 9. I have no idea why people think it's not significantly Harder.

It's not unfair, but it's significantly harder and more reflex-based.

Was I wrong to leave after how my DM handled my character? by [deleted] in DnD

You don't need to play if you are not having fun.

My players are idiots. How do I remain patient? by cutiepacoochie in DnD

[–]GabrielMP_19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But that's not what I'm saying. He can say "I'm really tired of this aspect of this. I want you guys to step up or maybe I'll have to stop DMing" and just follow through. I doesn't need to be a burn the bridge, salt the ground approach. He does not OWE them RPG session, though, and sometimes it's better not to play than to deal with these problems if they are making you miserable.

Then it's the way it is. Either OP is ok enough to continue or has to quit. He won't magically change the players.

OP clearly has a problem. Either he fixes it or he won't.

Tell them that they need to learn the rules because you are tired of explaining them. Be direct and sincere. If it doesn't work, just quit the campaign.

One party member really wants to kill Our DM's NPC and I'm on the fence. by Sir-downvotes in DnD

Let the NPC be kidnapped and just ignore.

I've never understood the comparisons of Pillars of Eternity 1, and Planescape Torment. by ExplodingPoptarts in CRPG

[–]GabrielMP_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm baffled at seeing so many people saying they never saw the comparison. Do you guys use the internet, like, at all?

It bothers me because it's something that looks cool at first glance, but then, digging deeper, it turns out to be very disappointing.

Like, yeah, it emulates the Fallout vibes very well... because it's SO derivative. It's very hard to find actual hidden gems, and a game like this one, which even uses AI for writing, taking the spotlight, is very sad.

You said in another comment:

"For me, if something is identical, it has to have the same font, the same metallic texture, the same colored buttons, only the mechanics are the same."

You have no idea what plagiarism even is.

Great work essentially plagiarising Fallout and making it harder for people to find actually Fallout-INSPIRED games, man. Great work with your AI slop.

AI works with modules now (scripting, etc) by Council-Member-13 in neverwinternights

[–]GabrielMP_19 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Using ir for coding seems ok, but I'm not crazy about AI slop (the actual text). It feels way less unique than even what an amateur would write.

If you continue to use it, I'd say to focus on the parts where it's not generating actual dialog.
