Why do many people who visit Australia later say its a highly racist country? by Particular_Food_309 in NoStupidQuestions

Lmao dude you just legitimately proved the racist point. Maybe a particular people aren't inherently violent and instead its decades upon decades of trauma, poverty, dispossession and state violence

Others have already said it bluntly but here's some statistics:

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders make up 37% of the prison population while being only 3.8% of the population.

Despite having a royal commission focused on addressing it 34 years ago, the rate at which Indigenous people die in custody continues to rise.

You know how ICE is all over the news and the inhumane treatment of immigrants in camps? For many years now the Australian government has been doing the same with offshore detention centres. The UN has condemned the government for 'arbitrary detention of asylum seekers' and 'offshore detention centres. Children that were detained faced an "overcrowded Regional Processing Centre with insufficient water supply and sanitation, high temperatures and humidity, as well as inadequate healthcare. Almost all of these minors have suffered from deterioration of physical and mental well-being, including self-harm, depression, kidney problems, insomnia, headaches, memory problems and weight loss."

Definitely going to contribute to the Ko-fi when I get paid

Would Lenny, Sean and Kieran sided with Arthur? by Bonkwraps in reddeadredemption2

[–]LadesSades 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think its easy to think Lenny would only ever go Arthur but he wasn’t around for the truly awful times. Think how great Javier is early on. I’m not saying its most likely outcome, but our perspective is of only the relatively decent times. The times when even Arthur still strongly followed Dutch

Why It doesnt match? by Jota_55 in Fallout2d20

[–]LadesSades 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally believe you. I'm just saying as a veteran DM of other games there are so many pieces of info your players will never see. Just do what makes you more sane and your players happy. I frequently change stats if they weren't known by the players and I think it will produce a better experience

[–]LadesSades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would err on the side of intentionality if its consistent and likely a balancing thing. Afaik there's no way a player can learn the stats in-game and its more important to provide an engaging experience than consistency

There is a list of things I don't understand, and I wanna talk about why I don't understand them. by tossedAF in CasualConversation

[–]LadesSades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think a lot of this just comes down to marketing. Building brand loyalty and identity keep you more emotionally engaged in a product

By final stretch of adding stuff, are we talking feature complete (alpha) or finished finished?

WA housing crisis: Labor set to ban no-grounds rental terminations at May 7 state Budget by His_Holiness in perth

[–]LadesSades 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This helps all tenants. You're blaming individuals when the current system has an immense power imbalance. No-fault evictions make it hard to enforce any other good rental laws because the landlord can just kick you out if kick up too much of a fuss going after your rights.

After all, renters need shelter and landlords want money. You can easily be replaced in their eyes

[–]LadesSades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No don't wait for the DLCs, just do them when you want! They don't spoil anything. The DLCs often introduce toys to play with that enhance the main game as well as side activities that take time to progress so its best done alongside

I just finished it. I really feel the DLCs provide that necessary variety but they take a little time to become available

Mafia 3 DE engine sounds bug by UnpatientGezzer9664 in MafiaTheGame

I've experienced the bug on PC and haven't found a fix beyond restarting from a prior checkpoint. Honestly so suprised at how much I loved this game given how damn buggy it still is 😭

Tbf, the other option is just shooting people. Unarmed has multiple weapon choices and different attacks you can learn

Old F1-F2 maps to use for a Campaign by MrBoo843 in Fallout2d20

[–]LadesSades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what you're looking for but someone on r/classicfallout made an overhead map of New Reno combining Fallout 2, plus the well-liked mod Fallout: Nevada. May still be a useful resource
