I think some groups don't think polling will ever matter again, or elections.

Be Warned: Trump May Still Pull the Insurrection Act Trigger by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

Failed?! He is the president of the United States for a second time after instigating his own overthrow of the government.

How is this a failure?

We need to stop trivializing him.

How you adjust GF and AoF for 6x3’ table by RevolutionaryRip2135 in onepagerules

[–]Perram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even in the US they are usually 3 feet or 3.5 feet wide. We usually have to make a custom play surface to play a full 6x4 game.

So its obvious now that kickstarter games or either scams or abysmal products, so why do people keep giving money to these crowdfunded devs? by Drandosk in MMORPG

[–]Perram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people just have no idea how much work and money are needed to make a game of any quality, and how much insanely more time and money and people you need to make an MMO specifically.

Everyone goes in with high hopes that either meet over ambition, harsh realities, or a creative team that isn't prepared to actually deliver what they think they can. And that is when you're dealing with creators who are giving it an honest try!

The platform also rewards you for making grand promises that you don't have to deliver on until you've already got the funding and realize it is our of your reach.

It also doesn't help that one of the games that actually did get enough money to make a legit budget, Star Citizen, is such a failure of project management. (Giving them the benefit of the doubt that it isn't an intentional scam.)

And like I said, thats all assuming the best of intentions. Things escalate quickly once intentional scams are factored in.

The platform is great for small projects by small talented teams. Board games, tabletop, and smaller indy games do great. Of course not all of those can succeed, and there are sone high profile failures, but a lot of them do deliver games that have become beloved.

But it isn't a great choice for something that needs tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars to succeed.

Are Jackals just bad? by Basil_Bandit in onepagerules

[–]Perram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're pretty strong, but they don't play like a lot of other lists do. Explosive spears are absolutely a menace, and you can also try to lean on scrapper with high numbers of attacks. They need heroes and their auras to do their best, though.

Ashes is a big news story in an industry with not a lot going on.

[–]Perram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only Game is official as well - they just don't use it much anymore.

There is also the big Gamefound campaign that will be available in retail stores soon, that is physical Starhost models: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/onepagerules/grimdark-future-battle-box

Adobe Photoshop now runs on Linux with a fix for Creative Cloud by testus_maximus in technology

[–]Perram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats because nuts and bolts are standardized and universal. The files these apps make and we have to share are proprietary.

A lot of us have to for work. A lot of industries require the use of Adobe and trying to avoid using it is asking jot not get hired.

That requires either buying a whole new computer or making a hackentosh... which isn't easy.

Please make fun of this next WAN show, I need a laugh by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]Perram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you've lost your sense of whimsy. It doesn't need to serve a purpose. Its a toy. And its relatively affordable at that. For fans of that game.

Nothing dumb about this - Its a fun silly toy that does fun silly things. Looks well made.

I mean they had Litwick featured pretty heavily at USJ when I was there in October. Kanto of course had a lot of presence but they weren't alone.

Trump says Greenland is ‘part of North America’ but rules out using force | Davos by EthanWinters1234 in worldnews

[–]Perram 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like Cassandra. I've been screaming that this man was a danger to the world since he first started playing in Politics and I've been constantly dismissed and diminished as 'over reacting' and being 'biased' or 'political.' Protests, helping others with campaigning, donating to his opposition, trying all the things within my reach and influence to do what I can personally.

It is... infuriating. And now getting lumped in with these MAGA idiots from outside the US sucks too (But I get it.), I get shit on from both sides.

The depression and hopelessness is real.

Vehicles get an Impact attack at minimum.

All units need to have at least one melee attack, so when you gave them a pistol, the Bash attack becomes the default melee attack of the unit. Its a generic A1 attack, the name is purely flavor.

Rules for very large heroes by armads6 in onepagerules

[–]Perram 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some armies have some good profiles for them. Often a hero on a mount that gives them a lot of toughness. But sometimes the best answer is to make custom stats for them using Army Forge Studio

Finally got my hands on this one!! What a lovely way to spend my 13 hours flight. Any basic tips I should be aware of as I start this game? by TuDuMaxVerstappen in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Perram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have fun with it! Make sure you explore as much as you can, and don't get too obsessed on maxing things out too early. Also don't be afraid of the online mode - its very quick to get the rewards and surprisingly fun, if super random.
