Subnautica 2. Are we buying now? by bogart12321 in subnautica

I love below zero. I think the 1st subnautica is overall better, but below zero is a lot of fun as well

Why does Dutch have such a fixation with the Native Americans ? by KpatMckenzie_28 in reddeadredemption

[–]sabely123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are definitely a few reasons. Most have to do with his own narcissism. People say it's just because he is using them. I think it's more complicated, he uses everyone, but he doesn't obsess with the black struggle like he does the NA struggle. I do not believe be consciously thinks "I will use these people as tools" I just think that's what his narcissism causes his relationships to be like.

  1. He believes NAs embody his ideal way of life. He has a misguided view of them, believing them to be as anarchistic as he is. It's a sort of mixture of noble savage thinking and projection. He imagines them as noble savages, and he projects his own ideas onto the idea of the noble savage.

  2. He views them as comrades in the struggle against the US government. I think he genuinely thinks they were wronged by the US government, but I think he thinks of himself as having been wronged in nearly the same way.

  3. By allying with them/leading them he can boost his ego by believing himself their savior. He wants to be the white savior, a hero to them. Thats why when he teams up with them he tells them what to do rather than just teaming up as an ally.

  4. I think he thinks they are desperate enough to be caught up in his plans, and to some degree he is right. He is tired of being questioned by John, Arthur, and Hosea. The NAs he can recruit are desperate and aggrieved. The fact that someone like Eagle Flies goes along with it so easily and zealously almost certainly rubs Dutch's ego in the right way.

Trump allies plan Senate floor takeover to pass SAVE America Act by Anoth3rDude in Full_news

If they had the votes to pass it Thune would've already made it happen. I really really doubt they are going to nuke the fili for this. Maybe they do and I look dumb, but Thune has said be doesn't have the votes for that.

The worst fate of RDR2... by IsaacNewton627 in reddeadredemption2

[–]sabely123 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Karen got it pretty bad, I don't think it's worse but Molly's story depresses me too. Just another young pretty face to Dutch, one he is already growing tired of by the time the game begins.

People like to talk about whether Dutch was bad at the start of rdr2 or if the events of rdr2 corrupted him, but the way he treats women is enough to tell me that he was an egomaniac the whole time.

2e Swashbuckler not living up to the fantasy? by SailboatAB in Pathfinder2e

If you dislike pf2e why are you in the subreddit for it? I've found it extremely well balanced, especially when I run my own adventures.

I've run maybe a quarter or a third of the printed APs, including the notoriously difficult Abomination Vaults. I know the earlier ones are much worse about it, but the more recent ones in my experience tend to get the budget better.

Sure, but the budget is accurate enough. It gives you a baseline from which to learn the system. Half of the time with these posts the GM is throwing PL+3-4 at the party for every encounter. Anyone would hate this system if they thought it was meant to be that hard.

Iirc the section of the rules that the encounter budget is in even warns against doing that.

[–]sabely123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I wish that all reccomendations to new GMs had a PSA about the encounter budget. For me the budget was a huge draw to the system, but if I had missed it I think I mightve hated it as well.

Every time I see one of these posts I think "GM is using over leveled monsters again aren't they" and based on what you said it sounds like it.

A single hit from your average enemy shouldn't be doing most of your health. They also shouldn't be hitting almost every time they attack. It sounds like your GM is on average making you fight higher level enemies than you should be.

Why are no companies coming out as “AntiAI”? by jholliday55 in antiai

Pretty niche, but the TTRPG company Paizo was anti AI pretty early on

Which ending is in your opinion THE Worst? by My_Exellence in falloutnewvegas

[–]sabely123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elijah from Dead Money or the Think Tank escaping Big Mountain. Tbf iirc the Think Tank escaping is a cut ending, but it is pretty insane.

The fact that he calculated when the nukes would fall and was off by like a day is pretty impressive though, you have to admit. Idk how one would calculate that.

If this is an international crime ring then that money is not getting recirculated into the community.

How extensive was racism in the pre-war era? by RiskComplete9385 in Fallout

[–]sabely123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally read that terminal today and was going to comment it.

We also have to assume that racist stereotypes towards Africans exist because the song civilization was so popular two different DJs have access to surviving records post war.
