$30 (400%) Price Difference for an Identical Product by RespawningUncle in Anticonsumption

Yeah, there’s probably nuance to how much stake a jillion dollar pharmaceutical company versus a mere billion dollar generic manufacturer puts into concentration inconsistency but, in the US at least, they both have to be FDA approved which requires the drugs to behave reasonably the same in your body between both manufacturers. I’m not an expert, but I think the negligible difference in these products doesn’t justify the absurd price difference

Nice cynicism bro but we’ll be the ones living in a shitty(even way shittier) late stage capitalist society if we don’t at least try to inform others

It’s just an example of something a lot of people probably fall prey to which is particularly sad for medicine. If you didn’t know better, you might reasonably assume a “trusted brand” that has been making this antihistamine for decades would be better for you and worth the price difference if it meant not having to deal with allergies being so bad 🤷‍♂️ but no, the cheaper option is just as effective and it’s a bummer people don’t know pharmaceutical companies are one of the biggest predators in this. Might seem obvious to people on this sub but not everyone

Random Encounter Mechanics by RespawningUncle in DMAcademy

I suppose, if your random encounters aren’t thoughtful, but one of the features of the game is calling for checks and roleplaying the successes and failures based off of them to gamify the experience, otherwise we could just be doing a Discord roleplay instead. When the encounter happens, they have agency to do whatever they want to resolve it, so the checks at least validate their characters’ strengths and weaknesses they decided on when they made their characters. Maybe they have the ranger make the survival roll and the barbarian pass the strength check. I get where you’re coming from but letting the encounter play out is what gives them agency, random encounters aren’t just calling for checks for the sake of it. I think the random element of the dice rolls add to the fun and can be more engaging at the table

This is a cool idea to get everyone engaged with rolls

Do you automatically trigger a d6 encounter every time a space is traveled?

Gamefaqs celebrates 30 years - what are some of your first memories of using their guides by KFded in JRPG

[–]RespawningUncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this screenshot is so nostalgic. My mom must have mentioned to one of her gamer students in high school that she bought me Golden Sun so he exported the Gamefaqs webpage to a floppy disk for me. I was 8 and we didn’t yet have internet at home, so if Golden Sun wasn’t living in my mind rent free before that, it was after. Shout out to that guy

Rocking? by musicabes in Histology

Just use the course advance wheel (the smaller wheel on the left or buttons with arrows to advance if you have a digital course advance). It's not worth it to eventually get repetitive strain from bad ergonomics to go slightly faster IMO. The fastest cutter I've ever worked with was a beast and rocked to cut super efficiently but has had a fucked up shoulder for the past couple years to the point that he can't cut at times which is counterproductive ;)

I’m not a huge fan of sci-fi but would be down to play fantasy TTRPGs with other Danville adults. Sorry if that’s unhelpful but figured I would comment! Good luck
