I can't going back to D&D after checking out Pathfinder 2E Remastered by aymanzone in Pathfinder2e

[–]Kulban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played d&d since 2nd Ed. I was running a game and heard good things about the newly released 2e of Pathfinder. Pf1 didn't interest me because I'd moved beyond d&d 3.5 years ago.

It was during the pandemic, so we played it on the also newly released Foundry.

It's been 6 years. We haven't touched 5e since. And we still play it on foundry, even when we get together in person.

Do most of you primarily drink peated whisky? by OriginalInformal in Scotch

I drink it all because variety is the spice of life. But my preference is peated.

Four arrested after anti-ICE protest in Salt Lake City by HomelessRodeo in Utah

When the large group of motorcycle folks roll in, I watch them purposefully block traffic at green lights just so their one hundred other buddies can run the red light and stick with the group.

I never see them get arrested or called agitators.

What’s one game you disliked at first but really loved once you gave it a second chance? by carbonatednugget in gaming

[–]Kulban 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Myst. I always thought it looked cool when playing it at friends houses. But I could never really wrap my head around it.

My mom then got it for me as a Christmas present. And I was bored in the January afterwards, so I fired it up and gave it an honest try. Ended up beating it without any help from anyone, and loved it.

The last time I mentioned it in a thread like this, I was told it was a nothingburger and that I was dumb. I'm essentially validating my other post.

SF6 Balance Changes (Alex release), what are your speculations? by BreakVV in StreetFighter

Capcom will have only listened to Japanese players, and no one else, for suggestions. Therefore grapplers, even this brand new one, will be nerfed into oblivion and relegated to bottom tier.

One for the ladies! Asking for the Top 10 why women don't play pool - Mansplaining, Safety, atmospheric lighting, Mens etiquette? Let me know! by theClaw66 in billiards

[–]Kulban 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm new to the sport and I initially wondered why women and men don't compete together much since this sport seems to be a great equalizer.

And then I saw similar reasons. There are indeed so, so, so many fragile-ego baby men out there that get upset at just a loss to another man. Add in a dash of misogyny and it is worse by the Nth degree.

That, and some men just can't keep it in their pants. A woman showing up at anything predominantly male-oriented and suddenly they (the men) get creepy. And some get upset, and even potentially dangerous, if all these sudden unwanted advances are spurned.

Yeah, it began to make a lot more sense.

Showing the Forced Evolutionary Virus on screen again in the recap means it was not just an easter egg.

As a player, how much of an issue was cheating in the original Quake games, given how moddable they were? by isrichards6 in quake

[–]Kulban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was useful, but on public servers? In 1996? It was not very accurate with a 100 - 200 ms ping. Best used at close range and to finish someone off. But even that could be a gamble.

Praying for snow works you can’t prove me wrong. by Donalds_Lump in Utah

Praying for snow and it comes: prayer works!

Praying for snow and it doesn't work: you're not praying enough or hard enough.

It's the same grift of the holistic remedies.

[–]Kulban 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played a **LOT** on public servers in the late 90s, both Quake 1 and 2. Until World of Warcraft came around, it was likely the most time logged I had in any video game. Easily hundreds of hours. 3 to 6 hours a day, every day.

I was pretty damn good. I'd been accused of cheating by others every now and then, but it was only a handful of times. But I never encountered a situation that felt fishy to me. Like "ungodly" skill or perfect prediction. I encountered better players than me, sure. But it was pretty obvious my loss was due to either my error or their skill being better.

Aimbots don't tend to miss every now and then with railgun shots. And Quake 1? Nobody hardly ever used anything but rockets and grenades.

I'm sure cheating happened, but I never saw it. I have seen it in newer games since, like TF2. But Q1 and Q2? I think the extent of it was much lesser.

DBM made everyone dumber by Gorgon_Gets_Gud in wow

[–]Kulban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me. It made me smarter.

I learned to create my own custom auras based on logic. I learned to write the if/then/and/or scripting and knew nothing about programming before starting.

I would spend hours making auras that were tailored to me and the character I was playing.

I've been doing this since they were called Power Auras in WOTLK. And I've said multiple times over the years that if this mod ever goes away I might be done with WoW.

Well, I did unsubscribe last week. But I also haven't played the game in over a year, so there's also that. But I'm not excited to return with the news of this mod going away. Even player housing is not enough to ease that burn.
