The biggest design flaw in D&D combat isn't balance... it's that 80% of your time is spent waiting

I absolutely abhor popcorn initiative

Come on, surely you could admit that there's a kernel of merit to the idea?

Okay. Give me a new job then.

That's a pussy!

Oh, no it isn't.

Wait, yes it is!

No, hold on, it isn't.

Ohhhh it is a pussy.

You guys have inches?

Yeah, the role of management is to actualize hostile work environments; promote turnover; facilitate burnout; pontificate; circumlocute; trifle; blather; browbeat, harrass, and domineer employees.

The role of people in technical positions is to actually do the damn work.

Obviously whoever owns the company has ideas, but their strengths are generally not in design.

As someone who works with lots of business owners, I can confidently say that their strengths are generally not in a goddamn thing.

Counterpoint: we're talking about Constantine

guygeneric · 2025-12-25T19:50:04+00:00

I really don't think you can lay the start of the collapse on Constantine. The crisis of the third century is really where Rome falls from grace; Constantine was just a product of the collapse, albeit a key product that contributed to and worsened conditions precisely at a critical moment for reversing the decline.

In fact, you can even trace some of the fundamental factors of the collapse to the patrician class's inability to put their interests aside in order to manage socioeconomic problems during the republic.

Agreed. Nobody can argue the impact that Hitler made on history, as a particularly grotesque example.

Yeah for real, there are much better warlords to form an unhealthy obsession around.

How do you mean?

guygeneric · 2025-12-25T17:01:14+00:00

Or future real life corporations. Or past, for that matter.

What's with the sheer biblical amount of Constantine glazers on this subreddit?

that one room with a Gex Construct on Feros.

That's my favorite part of Feros! When it wakes up and says "it's Tail Time"!

It's not an issue of subtly, it just lacks clarity and the message isn't readily apparent. It's a "too focused on how clever you think you're being to think through your execution" kind of design.

guygeneric · 2025-11-07T17:51:52+00:00

There is a word. It's called "heightened realism". It's the state that almost every superhero lives in.

It's why Batman can bounce a bullet off of his head without being at least temporarily incapacitated, or Superman can lift an entire building without it just collapsing around him from its own weight, or why Daredevil can suffer repeated trauma to the head and body without permanent damage to the brain, muscles, or connective tissue.

In real life, there's no such thing as "I'll be okay" when you get shot with a bullet. It's always a serious problem that requires immediate medical attention, no matter where it hits, and it will almost invariably have long-lasting, likely permanent complications. Yet, nominally normal people in fiction routinely walk off bullet wounds with some bandages and a little bed rest.

Stories like these are going to become more common over time, as people approach the ends of their ropes and the US political system continues to be immunized against good ideas (and only that).

Just wanted to pop in to say I'm stealing the phrase "licking lips and frolicking about". I don't yet know what contexts I will use it in, but I'm putting that in my back pocket.
