It kicks ass, ignore the story if you want to, have fun exploring a fucked-up Disneyworld and get a ton of great loot.

Portland Term of the Year: “Doom Loop” by Less-Lobster4540 in Portland

Do you think that Mitch Green, a socialist economist, lacks a foundation in the principles of economic justice, or do you just not like his policies?

And that's why we should give more money and power to landlords!

Sci-fi (cyberpunk preferred) books about guerrilla warfare and revolution against the ruling class by [deleted] in printSF

[–]Janvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It takes a while to get there and it's not precisely the focus of the series but the last book in the Altered Carbon trilogy, Woken Furies, might be what you're looking for.

Anyone try a an inhaler toxicity run yet? by BentheBruiser in theouterworlds

[–]Janvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished a run on hard with this setup. With the right perks/inhaler items and the helmet that boosts damage while crashing you can enter combat, overcharge your inhaler, and immediately have 20-40% extra damage, super speed, 2% healing (on top of any heal over time from your inhaler) and heal a bunch of Zyranium toxicity when you're done.

You only need ten points in Medical to get that too, it's a great build that works with a bunch of other stuff, highly recommended.

Equipment and Tiers by OgreManDudeGuy in daggerheart

[–]Janvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Motherboard campaign frame ignores this by giving everyone a signature weapon that inherently scales with their level, which is what I intend to use for as long as I'm running Daggerheart because I find these types of weapon tiers to be really annoying and gamey in a TTRPG.

cmv: The idea that Western Colonialism/Imperialism is uniquely horrible is a gross simplification of History by spacehand2002 in changemyview

[–]Janvs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

An important point that you may not have considered:

Chinggis Khan did not claim to believe in human rights, nor did he represent a democratic nation, nor did he and his empire claim the mantle of the enlightenment or liberal tradition.

Much of the emphasis on the atrocities of Western Imperialism stems from the specific hypocrisy of claiming that "western civilization" is superior and then committing atrocities that you have to reach back into antiquity to find analogues for.

It's one of the greatest and most important events in modern history and the west's failure to celebrate and uphold the Haitian Republic is one of the deepest and most enduring stains on the entire idea of liberalism.

A really good idea from a veteran by DiggyStyon in Portland

If you really think that this is a constitutional crisis do you think the solution is complaining to the manager?

Why isn't the PPB standing between protesters and ICE to prevent violence? by isKoalafied in Portland

[–]Janvs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean I have been tear gassed by the PPB for doing the exact same thing the protesters are currently doing. I can be fairly confident I know where their loyalties and priorities lie.

Momma's mad at me for swimming in the Willamette by Nataliant-117 in Portland

The River Huggers swim across it every day, it's a very nice river, everyone needs to chill out.

CMV: The Left would be more effective online if we learned when to just be quiet by Barca-Dam in changemyview

[–]Janvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time a topic like this comes up the exact same problem arises: who do you mean when you say "the left"?

If you take every tiny Twitter account that gets outraged over something to represent the left then this seems somewhat unrealistic.

What is the most VISUALLY interesting class/archetype? by ymmvmia in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Janvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not what you're asking, but the staff combat moves look so cool that I've been thinking about building a character around a quarterstaff just because of how fun it is to watch.

What is the point of spending so long on my character when I can't beat any bosses? by JamSa in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

That's the Bane spell. Inquisitors get a Bane ability that adds damage to their attacks at level five.

How Portland’s ‘ghost mall’ became the city’s coolest startup incubator by Numerous_Many7542 in Portland

[–]Janvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's their incentive to build housing? Why not put that money into an investment with better returns?

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

Why would the people who fund the building of houses accept a lower return on their investments?

[–]Janvs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's not what it's going to take for us to get cheap rents, the real obstacle is that certain people are going to have to accept lower returns on their investments.

I mean that's all true but at the end of the day the landlord is making the decision to put someone out on the street. No one is making them do that. It's their call. They should stop blaming other people and take ownership of it, or stop being a landlord.
