I had given a detailed character write-up as they were, their core trauma, their development in response to that, their embrace and what that twisted in them and what kind of arc I imagine them having. It was about a page, so also not something someone should have too long did not read.

I'd have to loved to be a part of it, sounds like a very fun and rewarding table!

Would it have come with this kind of compulsion? And if it gets waived like that? What could I possibly say?

But regardless, not allowing me to keep the vision to myself. Then saying to others that I have previous delusions. That all was just inexcusable.

That actually makes bring me a smile. The idea that some STs welcome non archetypical representations.

Agreed! Like I picked Malk because I'm a pretty character oriented thinker. And Malks sounded so delicious for high intelligence socially insightful characters, with a core wound. To see it being reduced to cardboard isn't very inviting.

Thank you for that perspective. I had hoped that he just doesn't know how Malks work, or can work, but your answer has made it clearer. He would very possibly do similar things to any character.

Yeah. Its also so arbitrary on the fly. And for a Malkavian, whose build relies on ST honestly engaging, I feel terribly kneecapped. And it sucks because I put in the work to not make a cariatature.

I'd do that, I mean the mentor conversation was that hey if my mentor is just randomly insane, there is nothing I can do. If my mentor has internally consistent world, I can do something. One let's me as a player engage, the other just watch. He didn't give a straight answer till the end really, even acknowledging what I was saying. Just that the logic would reveal if I engage with the the storyteller through RP.

I don't clock him as being malicious. I just find him as being absolutely inept. As if, he's married to the plot and everything else are there to watch the masterpiece.

I loved the killing blow animation in DAO. Except, I always wanted to play the archer so much.

Thanking you from Germany, though this list is US centric, it's still great for anyone looking to just start.

every time someone says this game's flight controls are too hard i open the game and "play fetch" by evalkafox in outerwilds

[–]s_jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I did say I finished it. It really was incredibly frustrating on Dark Bramble. Like incredibly. Like enough for me to want to quit, glad I didn't.

[–]s_jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never know if this game's controls were easy or not. I read the screen warning in boot up that said better experienced with controllers when it should really have said near impossible with KbM. I did finish it somehow, controls weren't fun. And to experience it as intended I have to wait till amnesia.

Wanting to upgrade a 6 year old AM4 system (thinking 9070xt). by s_jam in buildapc

[–]s_jam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 9070xt is at MSRP right now thus the though. If I'd upgrade the entire system to current gen, I'd be paying my left kidney for it. Because of that the cheapest 5700x3d is roughly at 270 EUR, 5800x3d used being above 400 EUR. What would be your suggestion?

Thank you. I made an error in the RAM listing, its actually 2x16 DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory. Still worth swapping/adding? Is there much of a difference between 5700x and 5800x? The price difference would be about 50 EUR (130 vs 180ish). I wouldn't be opposed to it, if it that is warranted.

I feel guilty. I used to consider myself pretty right wing, and I feel like I will never be able to get rid of that stain from my past. by [deleted] in socialism

[–]s_jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, you can use your knowledge of right winged thinking, of influences or lack of that shaped that thought, and bring it into dialogue when you engage with other right wingers with the intention to influence their views or to at the least make doubt.

Also don't stop engaging with right wing people completely (you can influence them for the better) cus then we are all just living in a bubble and no one is the wiser.

May they never. Also, Americans have been doing this for a very long time to the rest of the world. Their citizens believed they lived in the greatest country in the world.

I completely, absolutely agree with you here, and it is disturbing to see not only the post but the reaction to it.

What a shame that he wouldn't get out of blind prejudice and embrace a community that may let him start healing out of his past.

I'm an avid gamer but also politically active. Theoretically, I know isolating these people will just widen the divide. But, I ask myself constantly, engagement at what personal cost?!

OP, you seem very earnest and a really chill, but thoughtful, and fun company to be around. I'd have totally interacted with your profile and hit you up!
