I don’t think I follow. Are you thinking that I’m saying Vampire needs character stats? Because I’m not.

I just think a game based on a TTRPG—a concept built around putting role playing first and foremost—should probably be pretty strong on the role playing aspect.

It’s just wild to me that a game straight out of a TTRPG is “light on RPG elements”.

Like, what’s left of Vampire without the RPG elements?

Fuck them both.

I’ve been arguing for many years that being a billionaire is incompatible with being a decent human.

We live in an economy of finite means, and being willing to put an absolutely insane portion of that finite resource into a bank account is exactly tantamount to ensuring poverty exists elsewhere. Anyone willing to horde such an insane amount of money is simply evil.

I think part of why the public doesn’t get more upset about this though is that most people don’t understand how big a billion is. It is a number so large that our feeble little brains really struggle to grasp it, and we in common discourse talk about millionaires and billionaires like it’s just the next logical step.

The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.

Well duh; it’s the department of war not the department of defense.

(Hopefully obvious /s)

Pieces of shit each and every one of them. We all already knew—I hope—that these fuckers would sell each and every one of us out to make a penny; but the dick sucking contest going on there is just beyond shameful.

Fatalism is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Dude, we’ve all been skipping the middle man for literally years. We aren’t stopping skipping the middle man now. We have constant legal challenges and protests and all the other shit we’ve always been doing. Shit that hasn’t worked.

We’ve already seen the base shift on this issue, failing to focus on in obvious addition to the shit we have already been doing and will obviously continue to do would be idiotic.

It’s a basic matter of strategy. Providing proof that Trump is a child raping piece of shit is maybe the only thing that can turn his base against him and rob him of the power of the masses, which would be a major win for everyone.

Pick your fights and pick them well.

I also don’t really like the sentiment of judging types of games in general; we like different things and that’s good.

But, gacha games can fuck right off. Manipulative, exploitative, addiction seeking nonsense. I’m not even commenting on gameplay or anything so it’s not a specific one… it’s the whole core concept of making a digital slot machine for children that I find offensive.

I didn’t dodge your question, I answered it directly in saying that convicting on accusations alone is a dark path.

There is no number of accusations made that should be considered “proof” of anything.

But, every accusation should be taken seriously and investigated objectively.

(Btw, the salient part of that in relation to this conversation is “proven” not “reasonable doubt”)

I’m not sure if you’re trying to argue with me or not from the general tone there?

Regardless, as much as it sucks: innocent until proven guilty means proven guilty. Sentencing on accusations alone seems like a really dark path to walk, even when many people are accusing.

That said, the effort put into finding evidence should certainly increase with the number of accusations made, and it’s well established that circumstantial evidence is enough to convict in many cases. Many accusations should mean many data points to validate against looking for credible evidence right?

Yep, all of which is wrong.

And so the current Intel chipset I have will be the last I ever own.

I absolutely believe everything she says about Donald “I will retaliate against you with the full force of the US government if you say something I don’t like” Trump.

Her transfer to better accommodations is also totally coincidental.

It is literally a joke I made in high school, ~25 years ago.

He’s such a loser.

I’m making my kids memorize The New Colossus. I know it by heart and they will too, because that kind of context is where “what the fuck are we doing?!” comes from.

It’s amazing how they will take literally any opportunity to say “DEI”.

We should start talking like them just to piss them off. “Big Balls, NEPOTISM HIRE by ELON MUSK, let himself get beat up by CHILDREN! VERY SAD!”

I am salty as fuck about PT.

As a standalone entry it was absolutely fantastic, I loved every second of playing it. As a demo it got me so incredibly hyped about the full game.

And then Konami pulled some of the dumbest shit I have ever seen.

I’ve been using age recently with nix to store secrets across deploys and I’m pretty happy with it.
