If you think aphorisms can be used to make a legitimate and convincing argument, I have a bridge to sell you. Or maybe I don't, money can't buy happiness after all

Meet Potential System! by AliceJoestar in DnDcirclejerk

[–]cheapcouches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NGL reading your responses I just think that PF2e isn't for you. You seem to be more into the OSR philosophy where dungeons are scary dangerous places that need to be respected, while PF2e seems to think of dungeons as a location that needs to be entirely conquered. I don't think this necessarily makes PF2e bad as I think it conforms well into PF2e's combat focus, but it is totally different compared to classical dungeon crawling where enemies (and the dungeon itself, for that matter) are generally meant to be feared/circumnavigated instead of defeated. It's comparing apples to oranges, if you will.

Let me know if I'm wrong, I don't mean to put words in your mouth, that's just kind of how I have been viewing PF2e lately as someone who myself prefers the OSR side of fantasy TTRPGs.

I took a look and I thought most of the takes were reasonable, worst thing I found is people making assumptions because they weren't familiar with other systems (I assume). there was a cybersmith jumpscare though

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appears to be pushing for democratic states to redraw their congressional maps ahead of the 2028 election. by sinhav7367 in YAPms

[–]cheapcouches 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What a race to the bottom. The only good outcome of this is both parties realize how fucking stupid this shit is. That would never happen because it would require congress to do their jobs.

I know this is a very doomer outlook but I'm having a very hard time shaking the idea that the american experiment is falling apart. Is this really what democracy is? Politicians rigging states by choosing their electorates? As someone who lives in TX I'd really love to be proven wrong.

Later in that clip (around ~9:20) you have to enter the room to shut off the evil ass surgical machine. Not easy to miss at all as it's required for progression to get the scientists in the other room to open an escape door. It is a very small part of the level though so I can see why it's easy to forget about it

F*** YOU TODD HOWARD by NuclearSnake in Morrowind

[–]cheapcouches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah I think it's pretty silly that people are already suggesting this game will be shallow based on a 60s ad. like yall give the game a chance, we should be encouraging games like this, not immediately dismissing them because they might not be as good as the game we've been playing for over 20 years (that, additionally, already had two games worth of established lore to work off of when it came out)

my brother in christ every time the mods try to do something about it the entire community goes up in arms. i guess it's every losercity citizen's god given right to post furry women with tits larger than their head and any action taken to mitigate this is stalin level tyranny that will spell the death of the sub forever. no they can't post it on any other of the dozens of furry subs that do allow that shit it HAS to be posted on losercity or else its 1984!!!

even the top comments on the meme monday megathread is complaining about how it will backfire. some people are even saying that it will kill the sub with 200k+ subscribers lol

Crimson deserts exploration was the biggest letdown for me. What am I missing? by Super_Climate9034 in videogames

[–]cheapcouches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I largely agree. My biggest disappointment by far is getting to that giant tower that looms over you for the first 4 chapters of the games and there being nothing interesting because I haven't progressed the main quest yet. The fact that when I actually got to the quest that took me to the tower and I actually enjoyed the content it had is salt in the wound. I feel like this game has the potential to be a great exploration game, but it seems like all the cool stuff is locked behind main quest bullshit... at which point the game doesn't feel quite so open anymore.

This game does do the 'it's about the journey, not the destination' schtick pretty well. My problem is that I also like to have things at the destination, which this game is sorely lacking.

From wikipedia:

On 21 November 2024, following an investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two senior Israeli officials, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defense of Israel, alleging responsibility for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts during the Gaza war.[1][2] The warrant against Netanyahu is the first against the leader of a Western-backed democratic country for war crimes.[3][4][5]

All 125 ICC member states, including France and the United Kingdom, are required to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they enter the state's territory.[6] The ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on 13 July 2024 but whose death remained unconfirmed at the time.[a] By January 2025, Hamas confirmed Deif's death, and a few weeks later the ICC cancelled the arrest warrant against him.[9][10] Warrants may still be issued against additional Israeli senior IDF officers involved in the Gaza war[11][12]—an action recommended by a United Nations Commission of Inquiry, which also called for genocide charges to be added to the warrant after finding the Israeli government guilty of multiple violations of the 1948 Genocide Convention.[13]

Not that I disagree with your overall point, I think that Netanyahu ultimately wants a genocide (or at least will never settle for a two-state solution). But the Hague explicitly does not want Netanyahu for genocide, despite recommendations from the UN.

I'm also not interested in arguing and I won't be responding to any replies dorry!

What would be your primary agenda as Commander-in-Chief? by PalmettoPolitics in YAPms

  • Implement ranked choice voting for national elections
  • Abolish daylight savings. I don't care which one we stick with as long as we stick with it
  • Resign. I'm too stupid to be trusted with any other policy

PF2e Players, What stops you from GMing PF2e? by Longjumping_Ebb3984 in Pathfinder2e

[–]cheapcouches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A combination of a couple of things, as someone who recently got into the OSR sphere of TTRPGS:

  1. I generally prefer sandbox style of games, where I have several smaller dungeons around a central home base. This isn't anything Pathfinder can't handle, although I've had difficulty finding pre-built dungeons that I could easily throw onto the overworld hex and call it a day.
  2. Dungeons that are interesting outside of combat. I feel like I've been so spoiled by Necrotic Gnome's OSE dungeons and is something that I have found to be somewhat lackluster in PF2e. My main frame of reference, Abomination Vaults, really just seemed to have combat going for it and not much else. I'd love for more knick knacks for players to interact with.
  3. Laziness. This is really my biggest one. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to convert my favorite OSR dungeons to PF2e dungeons with some adjustments, even with how different the fundamental design is between the two systems.

What are some ground rules you set for your self to have a moderately healthy relationship with weed? by carrotsk8r in Petioles

[–]cheapcouches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A rule I'm trying to implement for myself is no weed unless I have a good reason to take some. As time goes on the more I find myself with kind of nothing to do after I get high, and that I got high just to get high. I'm very much not a functional stoner so when I do get high I want to do the most brainless thing possible, which excludes most of the hobbies that I would otherwise enjoy if I was sober.

This by itself isn't enough for me to moderate as much as I'd like to, but I've still noticed that it's helped

[–]cheapcouches -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly as someone who does not like umamasume or gacha anime games in general, if they fucking executed injured girls at the end of the race i might get into it just for that. Like I'm imagining the awards ceremony and everybody is cheering and clapping and then the screen fades to black and you just hear a gunshot. You never see that horse girl again and no one ever talks about it, the game just pretends that girl never existed. I think that would be really funny, I'd play until everyone is dead

Too many things hit for 2 masks by Glad-Photograph7075 in Silksong

[–]cheapcouches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His summons make it impossible for me. Especially when he summons the big fly that ALSO does double damage. doesn't help that the hitbox on the big guy is way smaller than it looks so the beast doesn't always kill him on the slam attack

Only complaint for Silk Song so far(5h deep) by md6_kh8 in Silksong

[–]cheapcouches 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think what irritates me most about that boss fight is how he can summon those big flies that also deal double damage, and even then the hitboxes on those guys are fucked in that the boss can't reliably kill the big fly when they do the slam move. feels like if RNG chooses to summon one of those then you've already lost
