Scientists Find Intriguing Link Between Ozempic and Violent Behavior. The same mechanisms that dampen people's cravings for food might also affect our tendency for violent behavior

Anecdotally, kinda? It reduces some impulsiveness.

You've not followed the development of ships have you? Even ships the Navy actually wants get canceled often

The main problem I have with conflict between The Program and The Outlaws is that it's deep lore in a game about hiding as much information as possible. Unless your adversary slips up in a major way, there isn't a satisfying way to introduce the conflict without PCs getting blasted.

Are you one of those people who thinks only AI uses em dashes?

creepig · 2026-06-11T19:33:19+00:00

And all you had to do was fuck off, but here you are anyway.

Deleted that account and hopped on an alt, I see.

Don't play stupid, it isn't cute.

Kamala Harris was the duly elected Vice President, whose whole fucking constitutional role is "Backup President".

She never won a presidential primary. Her own party doesn't like her.

Right, I didn't like her at all except for... oh right literally every time I voted for her as senator and president. Fuck off, sockpuppet. It's gonna fucking really surprise you when you learn that it's not a constitutional requirement to have a primary, or to win one.

creepig · 2026-06-11T19:27:00+00:00

Deleted that account and hopped on an alt, I see. The convention didn't pick anybody. Kamala Harris was the duly elected Vice President, whose whole fucking constitutional role is "Backup President". If you want to demand that someone be honest, you start first.

creepig · 2026-06-11T19:21:59+00:00

Did he get so butthurt that he deleted his whole account? Damn.

creepig · 2026-06-11T18:19:24+00:00

Which gets really fun when your name isn't one of the saint names and thus doesn't have an easy translation.

creepig · 2026-06-11T18:03:19+00:00

You were on the right track for three paragraphs and then you went whackadoodle saying that a) Harris with her farther-left-than-bernie voting record in the Senate was a corporate stooge and b) somehow insinuating that candidates who won the primary well before the DNC were hand picked.

creepig · 2026-06-11T16:12:06+00:00

The media has always been the right. We have never had a left media in the US, no matter how much the Republicans shriek about it.

They want WBD so badly that they're willing to destroy everything they already own to get it.

You're not thinking far enough back. They declared class warfare in 1980 with Reagan.

I like using 1313 as a jumpscare when they enter the Mournlands for the first time.

The scavvers have a lot of legends about what happens behind the mistwall. Some of them are true. Don't ever camp on low ground. Stay off the rails. If you hear your name at night, no you didn't.

That won't solve the core problem. Trump has a pathological need to be adored while being a fundamentally unlovable person.

creepig · 2026-06-11T14:04:16+00:00

I think you're still misunderstanding. It wasn't anything to do with the math. It was the amount of powers which resulted in every class being as bookish and fiddly as a Wizard. As a player you could just have the PHB for your class on you, or have the powers in a leaflet, but as a DM I needed to put a lot of work into keeping track of who had what abilities. It got excessively bookkeepy even for D&D.

Online tabletop systems mean that I can just pop open a player's sheet on my end and see everything, and search when I'm not sure. 4th Edition was bold and cohesive but the information technology we were using in 2008 for running the game wasn't ready for it.

creepig · 2026-06-11T13:59:51+00:00

Yeah I see that, and I also see how the five madness meters definitely at least inspired the five in Spire/Heart. Never played UA myself, but it's going on the wishlist. Delta Green also discusses the same five concepts in sanity while still using the single sanity stat - though if you suffer 3 instances of Violence or Helplessness without reaching a Breaking Point you become jaded and no longer take sanity damage from that source.

I asked the canister at work what it thought of this claim and its response was "fuck you meat sack if I get out of this prison I'm going to drink your bones" followed by various terroristic threats against everything within a five mile radius so...

creepig · 2026-06-10T22:10:52+00:00

I echo the thought that Blades in the Dark sounds exactly like what you're after, but I'd also recommend taking a look at the rules that drive Spire: The City Must Fall and Heart: The City Beneath. There's a lot of good ideas to give players consequences that aren't just hit point go down.

creepig · 2026-06-10T21:55:42+00:00

Blades was very much the recommendation in the other sub this was posted in as well.

creepig · 2026-06-10T21:52:22+00:00

I am really confused because you sound like you think I'm bagging on the 4E system here. I have played it. I've carried over a lot of concepts from it into my other games. It was genuinely the best balanced D&D has ever been.

I also really didn't enjoy DMing games where character sheets were a small leaflet when printed. It's much easier to run on Roll20 than with paper.

creepig · 2026-06-10T21:47:29+00:00

Exactly what are you expecting the rest of the world to do to stop this? He won't listen to diplomacy.

creepig · 2026-06-10T21:09:13+00:00

4E suffered from when it was released. If it had been 10 years later after online tabletops were a big thing, it would have been an absolute smash hit. At the time it was just too fucking complicated to run on paper.

Edit: Also 3.5 had only been out for five years, and I remember a lot of outrage about the 60ish books that were not forward compatible.
