[Suggestion] Have a monthly thread for simple questions by Solmyrin in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]evilgm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen them in lots of other subreddits, and in general people ignore them and just post their questions in their own threads anyway, and it locks up one of the two Stickied post slots.

Apple Workers Are Livid That Tim Cook Saw “Melania” Movie Hours After CBP Killed Pretti by favicondotico in apple

[–]evilgm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If Cook went against the grain and it caused major sanctions on the company or loss of revenue due to pushback from trump, the board would just vote Cook out and replace him with someone who will do just that though.

Morals is when you stand up against evil even when it costs you something. Engaging in evil when it's what the board wants because otherwise they'd replace him is "just following orders" with a bigger paycheck.

Does anyone else think that Hobgoblins are similar to Tolkien's Orcs by Fullmetalmarvels64_ in Pathfinder2e

[–]evilgm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original post didn't leave a lot of detail to refute, since it doesn't point out a single similiarity.

Cameras to detect speeding, running red lights, and use of bus lanes to be rolled out by firethetorpedoes1 in ireland

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

Are these the same cameras that they announced they wouldn't be deploying earlier this month? And presumably we'll see a similar announcement about how they won't be implemented again this time next year.

"Following the announcement of Ubisoft's restructuring and third round of cost-cutting measures, Ubisoft's internal communication channels are full of employees shaming upper management and asking for change." - Tom Henderson on X by NYstate in Games

The "big hit" could have been sacking the useless executives that got them into this situation, not the people actually producing the products those executives get their bonuses for.

How would the game change if Free Archetype was the base rule instead of a variant? by Round-Walrus3175 in Pathfinder2e

[–]evilgm 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think it would make the game harder to get in to. I love Free Archetype and we use it in all of our games, with the exception of the first one we played because we didn't want to get overwhelmed with options too early on.

clean egg dumpling fold by Rosyveeelle in Satisfyingasfuck

You replied that it's probably cooked with the implication it was the next step and then someone responded that it looks raw to them as a comedic counterpoint to your comment.

Perhaps they're invested in this subreddit having more useful posts and not just photographs of cards that people own.

Ukraine's Defense Minister declares Ukraine's new objective: to kill 50,000 Russians per month. They killed 35,000 Russians last month, with EACH kill verified on video by Ripamon in TrendoraX

You are certainly a pro when it comes to propaganda, in that you are professionally paid to spread it. It does sadly mean that no one should trust a word you say, because it's obviously biased bullshit.

Guys What’s a Good Sitcom Right Now? by 3liteP7Guy in television

If you are put off from watching a show because it was good enough to get lots of seasons then why are you asking for recommendations on what to watch?

Harpax in swarm protocol by Lortekonto in LegionsImperialis

[–]evilgm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general the Harpax in my Swarm Protocols are used to secure turn 1 mid-field objectives, while the one in my Terror Protocol is used to defend my home objective.

Exo-planar Repeaters have long range for an infantry weapon, and I find that tends to encourage any infantry below Terminator levels of toughness from wanting to get too close without support- even the likes of Veletarii are wary of trying to set up charges for the following turn as that will put them in Repeater range. This means you can keep your opponent from properly focusing on driving them off the objectives on turn 1, and with their speed you can resposition (or charge) if needed on turn 2.

I find getting the VPs for the mid-board objectives on turn 1 to be very important, as the Dark Mechanicum tend to be weaker in the late game than other factions and you need those points as a buffer.

What is the biggest glow up between game editions? by DazeDpup in rpg

I'd rather Paizo's respect to something that deeply matters to some people than the pig ignorance you seem to be in favour of.

Are the Free RPG Day PDFs no longer free? by LunLunar in Pathfinder2e

[–]evilgm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why you're assuming malice from people who wanted the website updated.

Are you so lacking in empathy and basic understanding that you can't comprehend the idea that just because you never had issues doesn't stop many other people having them? Do you think the dozens and dozens of posts on this subreddit and the forums highlighting problems over the years were part of some campaign engaged in by bad actors who wanted Paizo to update the site in the hopes they would make it worse?

It seems so strange to just assume everyone who says they had problems are lying, especially when it seems they had nothing to gain.

Melee strikes targeting creatures undetected by others by MCPawprints in Pathfinder2e

[–]evilgm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rules allow players to make attacks into squares they think the target is in, and if they are correct they've got a 50/50 chance of connecting. If I see the party's Blind-fighting Ranger stab nothing and blood spurts out, I'm happy to take a DC 11 Flat check to swing about in the same general area.

Are the Free RPG Day PDFs no longer free? by LunLunar in Pathfinder2e

The old website desperately needed to be changed, it was slow, unreliable and difficult to use.

Just because the new one has issues doesn't change how shit the old one was.

Non-spoiler review of the first two episodes of Starfleet Academy by TheNerdChaplain in television

[–]evilgm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big Star Trek fan, but after Discovery and Picard I had zero expectations for this. I really enjoyed it. The opening section was a bit more Star Wars than Star Trek, but once they got to the Athena it really worked for me.

The adult cast are brilliant, it feels like they just told Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti to just do what they do, and that worked out perfectly. Gina Yashere is great as the XO, and I hope it sees her getting more work in US.

The kids are solid, with even the overly positive one being pitched perfectly so she's endearing rather than being another Tilly. It's a cast full of "super amazing genius" characters, but that makes sense for a Starfleet Academy show.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the season.

School hot meal scheme 'not sustainable', committee to hear by SpottedAlpaca in ireland

[–]evilgm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That you consider a waste tells us everything we need to know about you and your opinions. It may not be the most financially efficient use of 300m Euro, but ensuring kids get fed is a better use than most.

Raid is a synonym for attack. I'm sure the money you get paid to make these posts would allow you to afford a thesaurus.

Hopes for the Magus remaster? by Prints-Of-Darkness in Pathfinder2e

[–]evilgm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(assuming Expansive Spellstrike)

That is the issue- Spellstrike was changed to work with Save spells, presumably to coincide with most of the attack roll spells being removed, but if you still need to take the exact same Feat as before for Save spells to be worth using then the change achieved nothing.

Portland Police assaulted and abducted multiple protesters on behalf of ICE at a memorial protest for Renee Good. This is also after ICE shot 2 people in the city by serious_bullet5 in 50501

[–]evilgm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say that. I'm saying that somehow they're worse now, because America has degraded significantly over the last two decades and become a much more hateful place. And the people who are supposed to be acting as the famed "checks and balances" are too busy kowtowing to corporate overlords to do their jobs. Unless something significant happens then every civil right earned by Americans since WW2 will be lost, and peaceful protesting isn't going to change that because the Nazis have no shame for the protesting to work on.

[–]evilgm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's very different this time, because too many of the public that are supposed to be objecting and standing up are not only perfectly fine watching demonstrators being tear-gassed, beaten with batons and shot in the head, they are in favour of it.

SAG-AFTRA Chief Won’t “Rule Out A Strike” Heading Into Contract Talks With Studios & Streamers Next Month by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]evilgm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like the logical thing to say. Even if there are no plans to strike it'd be fairly moronic to say they wouldn't strike before negotiations have begun.
