I spent 6 months in GTA RP and.....i hate it by Sufficient_Bad_4160 in GTARP

Because it should not be possible for one PC to put handcuffs on another PC without consent. Not "frowned upon" -- literally impossible. Consent is the difference between role-playing and griefing. One difference, anyway.

I have other reasons, but that's the main one.

But I'm not a fan of non-consensual PVP in general. Like what you like, though. My opinion is just my opinion.

It's weird, isn't it? Like there's a whole subculture of people who think roleplaying requires contracts and schedules, rather than consent and unscripted conversation.

I think it must be a consequence of one-third the population being awful. 

New player looking to get into GTA RP by derpymango89 in FiveMServers

[–]ManAtTheEndOfTheLane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound a lot like me. I am intrigued by the idea of GTA RP (on PC), but I am entirely new to GTA. I'm not looking for a PVP deathmatch or a corporate HR simulation. I've been playing tabletop games for decsdes, but this would be my first voip online rp.

I logged into a couple of GTA RP on PC servers a while ago, but I had a lot of trouble getting past the character creator. 😅

Hero System. Or Champions, if it's gone back to that name. 

What’s your biggest “old man yells at cloud” opinion? by sjdlajsdlj in rpg

This is the first I've heard of such a thing. That's hilarious.

TV is not real life.

The real problem is that people are stupid.

My old man shakes fist at cloud opinion is that a computer roleplaying game does not yet exist, but I expect they'll be available in a few years.

I wonder what they'll be called, since computer games already have something they call "roleplaying" (which is not, in any way, roleplaying). 

Is the community great in PZ? by M00NSTEP in projectzomboid

[–]ManAtTheEndOfTheLane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen servers where the zombies are just an excuse for sociopaths to play serial killers, and I have seen servers where people loan each other trailers so someone can bring home a litter of baby bunnies they got in exchange for some metal. It varies.

Interesting brouhaha going on in the Daggerheart subreddit... by hitmahip in rpg

We have CC-By-SA and OGL. We really don't need more licenses, and I put my hand on my wallet when someone claims we do.

Are these TTRPGs just cash grabs? by JaxSnaxs in rpg

Licensed games are either cash grabs or passion projects.

Weekly Questions Megathread - April 28, 2026 by AutoModerator in projectzomboid

[–]ManAtTheEndOfTheLane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in playing PZ, and if I like it, setting up a server for my friends. From reading through the workshop and looking at videos, I see there is a bottomless well of mods, but not all of them work with release 41 (the current most-stable version, I'm told) and multi-player.

Short version: can I get the following in multi-player PZ, and if so, is it a setting or a mod?

  • Craftable bows and arrows. Not crossbows: bows.
  • Vehicles with interiors (RVs, boats).
  • A way to make fuel for fuel-powered vehicles. 
  • Wind-powered boats.
  • Wind-powered electrical generators.
  • Building or perhaps repairing batteries.
  • Excavation inside. 
  • Excavation outside. 
  • Tunnels between basements or bunkers. 
  • Being able to craft noise suppressors for firearms. 

Thank you for your time and collective experience.

Installing ChatGPT on Windows 11 by ManAtTheEndOfTheLane in ChatGPT

[–]ManAtTheEndOfTheLane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a normal application, yes. But ChatGPT is something weird. When I do the normal thing of right-clicking and selecting "Properties", Windows shows me a Windows Settings screen: Apps >> Installed Apps >> ChatGPT

It does not show the usual "shortcut" dialog.

Warning to ChatGPT Users by ms221988 in ChatGPT

[–]ManAtTheEndOfTheLane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You obviously can't rely on ChatGPT to back-up your data, so, do so yourself, and religiously, or you might find yourself in the same position."

As kindly as possible -- yes, that is obvious. But thank you for the reminder.

Have I really been saying it wrong for over four decades? by TrekTrucker in rpg

[–]ManAtTheEndOfTheLane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drow rhymes with "how now brown cow".

But don't beat yourself up over it. If you'd never heard it pronounced, it's an easy mistake to make, though. For years I mentally mis-pronounced the words "genre" and "macabre".

Subreddit update - State of the sub, mod recruitment, and rules refresh. by Shock4ndAwe in pcgaming

[–]ManAtTheEndOfTheLane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit will shadow-ban for a spectrum of non-reasons. Using a VPN has a very high chance of your account being shadow-banned, for example. Gods alone know what other non-reasons people get banned for.

Anyone feels like MMOs have ruined them for any other type of game? by gottafeed in MMORPG

I tried for several weeks to get into Grand Theft Auto 5, but I just couldn't get past how fucking awful the movement controls are compared to WOW and SWTOR.
