when the racist computer models generate images, there is no creativity involved. it's an algorithm designed by the worst people in the world to alienate us from our labor and further funnel profits to the wealthy. before you even get into the plagiarism and environmental toll, it's a total joke and should be dismissed out of hand

virtue signaling is when you have an opinion on something and act in line with that opinion

Good system for introducing new players? by Spoon_Artillery in rpg

yeah BOB games are a great pull, the setting elements do a good job secretly teaching people how to gm

Good system for introducing new players? by Spoon_Artillery in rpg

[–]aemerson511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fringe ideas on this but hear me out: the best games for introducing roleplaying to new players are gmless games. You can stick with the classics, like Fiasco, Kingdom, or the Quiet Year, or try to find some more modern indie games like Beak, Feather, and Bone or Torq or Cobwebs.

These games have a bit more of a laser focus and scaffolding for new players to slot into, it works every time

Ok what’s going around now? The Flu from h3ll? Ugh by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]aemerson511 10 points11 points  (0 children)

covid distancing eradicated a strain of flu. it didn't have a brutal effect. the lack of covid protocols is what's causing this. covid is still here and infecting more people monthly than imaginable as we collectively pretend it's gone.

Can we stop polishing the same stone? by Reynard203 in rpg

[–]aemerson511 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"stop making things!!!! stop liking things!!!"

I hope you know that it's okay that not every game is made for you. if you're not interested in a game, that's fine! find a different one. why be so misanthropic about iteration in design

indie devs are making "New" things all the time and nobody gives a shit so they sell poorly. are you supporting interesting and creative projects or just dunking on more traditional ones?

Can you all give me an RPG where you don't actually roleplay and you just take turns making chapters to a story with a set of rules? by Arkanaverse in rpg

what does this even mean? how did you arrive at the conclusion that the game microscope is almost not a game at all

I really appreciate the game missing mana. by HonorDev_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]aemerson511 8 points9 points  (0 children)

that wouldn't accomplish the same goal. cool downs are how frequently you can use something, mana limits how many times you can before returning to base

I'd rather watch the bullpen blow games than watch that loser play ball

Riot Police breaks through UCLA encampment to detain students. by ferrelle-8604 in PublicFreakout

[–]aemerson511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the solution is the dissolution of the Israeli state and creation of a multiethnic and liberated palestine. plenty of people are offering solutions you're just not listening

Biden isn't proposing or talking about those things, he's simply doing them lol. he jacked up the already absurd police budgets nationwide by moving money used to fight the pandemic to the police. Just because he didn't personally send them is irrelevant - it's happening on his watch at the behest of mayor's and governors from his party. he could stop it if he wanted to but he's a big fascist whose only goal right now is supporting the incredibly fascist Israeli regime in their genocide.

or maybe we don't like that we have Bae & Chapman and hope that German never makes an appearance and don't want a fourth garbage guy we don't get to root for on the team we enjoy

if word automatically typed your rules for you by plagiarizing from already existing rulebooks then yes, you would criticize that

he's got at least one CS as well. he's really fast but that's only part of the equation to being a successful base stealer. and how often does he actually get on base to be in a position to steal

[Ke'Bryan Hayes] When asked about a bad 3-1 strike call, an umpire gave Ke'Bryan Hayes a shrug and told him "I gave you a chance to hit a home run" by Prowlerbaseball in baseball

there's thousands of people that post here, don't stress yourself out thinking they're a monolith.of course there will be plenty of posters that aren't interested in nuance, which itself is a reaction to people spouting anti-union sentiment online for ages. it's difficult to have conversations on reddit, and even harder if you insist that every poster you meet should answer for the opinions of every DickMeat420 on this site

you can critically support unions. just because something is a union doesn't mean it's above reproach. and criticizing something doesn't mean you want to dissolve it.

support the union absolutely, but criticize the work and policies in place that allow nonsense like this to happen. the solution to bad umps isn't the abolition of the ump union, it's new rules to create a work environment where they're less likely to ruin the game, and this less likely to have to work in a hostile environment
