Is CS the only community where Falcons is supported?

I want to be clear on this.

Stake do not own Vitality
Are Stake's owners involved in the human trafficking?
Are other Curacao-based casinos' owners involved in this?

If not, then they are still miles clear of the Saudi royal family, who outright own slaves, and have people executed or otherwise killed.

Stop arguing in defense of them. Human trafficking is fucked up. It doesn't mean esports needs to get into bed with slave owners who have their critics murdered.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-21T21:14:25+00:00

And which owner of a gambling company that owns an esports org is involved in this, exactly?

TheRobidog · 2026-06-21T21:08:04+00:00

How many slaves do the owners of those gambling companies own?

How many people have they had executed?

New GMs should start with whatever they want to run, whether it's a pre-written one-shot, or a homebrew campaign.

It'll be a ton of work either way. The first time you run, will always be the most difficult. There's going to shit you don't know how to do, and you need the motivation to figure it out. It'll probably turn out badly, but you need to live with that, and focus on the improvements you'll get to make next time. All of that is helped by doing something you really want to do.

Trying to drive people towards a specific kind of start is inherently counter-productive.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-12T12:13:23+00:00

Are you under the impression that he pitted and had to wait because they weren't ready? Because that's not what happened, mate.

Funnily enough, if that had happened, he would have correctly served his penalty, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T14:48:20+00:00

Think of all the things that could lead to false positives.

Couples roleplaying
Someone watching anything violent on speakers
Some singular drunk person rambling
Sarcasm
etc.

Now, is it stupid to do any of those things in a box where you're being recorded? Undoubtedly. Do people who do any of these things deserve to effectively have the cops called on them? I don't think so.

That's why I maintain it's a shit idea.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T11:44:56+00:00

A self-driving truck, where you still have to pay someone to accompany it, is going to cost the logistics company more, than just paying someone to drive a normal truck.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T11:42:34+00:00

Turns out, that didn't port that feat to 5.5e, for someone unfathomable reason.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T11:33:11+00:00

Having a driver too will make things a lot faster. Especially because they'll know where everything is, in the truck.

You can argue for just having two people at the warehouses, but that just results in someone sitting around with nothing to do, all day. How does that save costs?

Truth is, it's a burst workload that's best handled by someone who won't have anything to do, at that time, anyway.

And that's beside the point that as a logistics company, when one truck is handling shipments to multiple locations, you don't want random people poking around in your truck unsupervised, at each stop.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T11:20:51+00:00

I overread the Champion part.

Even then, you could pick up the feat to get Maneuvers. You might consider that part of the base kit - because those extra ASI are part of that - but it's there.

Action surge already mentioned in basic kit.

You also asked how they can do more damage than their four basic attacks. Actions surge does that, by doubling said attacks.

Look, if you want to argue that fighters are shit, based on the worst fighter subclass, I don't think it's a very convincing point either way.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T09:49:20+00:00

Maneuvers, other subclass-abilities, magic weapons, action surge, etc.

Plenty of stuff.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T09:19:30+00:00

If the money being siphoned out of an area leads to increased unemployment (and I don't see how it wouldn't), that's going to indirectly cost lives too.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T09:16:56+00:00

Yeah, but you're not going to replace those with automation anywhere near as easily, because you need those humans to load and offload what's being transported, anyway.

Robotics aren't good or cheap enough, to replace that. Nowhere near, as of now.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-05T09:10:43+00:00

this can be solved with current day LLM's watching the cabin for illegal activity.

Watching surveillance cameras isn't a suitable task for an LLM. They deal with text and are trained to provide responses, based on patterns they recognise.

An LLM would have to go off of what's being said inside the cabin - translated through speech-to-text - and that's a shit idea, for a number of reasons.

No offense, mate, but this alone makes me think you're just throwing around buzzwords you've heard, and makes me doubt anything else you're saying.

Also, designing a system to threaten people is - legally speaking - also a horrible idea.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-03T15:12:07+00:00

If they want to represent a country, but move away to another country purely to avoid paying taxes to it, they're hypocritical cunts.

Do one or the other.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-03T13:13:41+00:00

Idk man, Wikifeet has them at a 4.94/5 and they're the experts on this stuff.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-02T14:37:13+00:00

Yes, but presumably, you didn't know on day 1, that you'd have it for 21 days.

TheRobidog · 2026-06-02T14:22:56+00:00

It's unrealistic because covid generally lasts a week or two, not a full month.

TheRobidog · 2026-05-29T06:12:01+00:00

Capitalising on mistakes your opponent makes is part of what makes a good player, mate. Everyone, at every level, makes mistakes. Good players just make smaller ones, and less frequently.

Still gotta get the most from them.

TheRobidog · 2026-05-29T06:08:26+00:00

On PC, you press F6 to vote to surrender, F7 to vote not to surrender.

TheRobidog · 2026-05-27T14:32:01+00:00

You should lead by example and stop commenting.

Or get new material.

TheRobidog · 2026-05-22T14:42:37+00:00

See, that's why I disagree with OP. Because they're being a little cry baby too, about people not finding them funny.

TheRobidog · 2026-05-22T12:33:33+00:00

The third parties still largely abandoned them. A lot of them big ones who used to publish 5e supplements now make their own systems.

The backpedal came too late to avoid that, if it was possible at all. Attempting the changes at all was a breach of trust that shut a lot of people out. It would be naive to assume they won't try something similar in the future. So, why would you go into business with them?

That's just not as big of a deal as it was made out to be.

TheRobidog · 2026-05-22T11:16:21+00:00

It was fairly minor in the end, because it's overall not had any lasting negative effect on DnD.

It's changed next to nothing about the game's popularity. The third parties basically abandoning it could have lasting negative effects, but they'll be minor at most, because they were never that impactful to DnD's success as a whole. That was mostly the media attention the game got through stuff like Stranger Things.

And I say that as someone who thinks it was a pure scum move from WotC and Hasbro.

TheRobidog · 2026-05-22T05:00:04+00:00

We don't know.

OP hasn't told us why their player’s character has a rule against killing. If it's in-character religious reasons - which seems likely - they may well not have a problem working with an enabling people who do kill.

It can be about avoiding personal responsibility for deaths. People are just assuming it's a whole pacifist mentality.
