@Gh0st1Knight @sj_sinclair just swap to operator while you're using the spider I guess

@sj_sinclair What about the Arachnophobic players?

Spiderframe?

@SilenceOfSwords @seankreynolds @WindyCityGamer well, not anymore. Standing stones used to be good for something, damn clerics

@seankreynolds @WindyCityGamer Better yet, there was no teleportation circles in medieval times. And you couldn't just buy a quick trip to the other side of a planet for a few thousand coins.

If you’re upset about a D&D illustration with tacos and sushi, remember that potatoes, tomatoes, turkey, corn (maize), squash, and pumpkins arent native to Europe and don’t belong in your pseudo-European fantasy game either.

@TTBenjamin1 "hey table W1 doesn't have any entries, idk how to run this mechanic" "oh no, that's the table. the dice tells you the number of wounds"

Someone hold this taser and shock me every time I think about adding a fucking wound table to my fast-paced tactical room-clearimg rpg

@kettupoika @the_berean_man @ChoctawDoge @nekrodvna to some extent I think manuals are antiquated for this. like, not *everything* needs video accompaniment but some things really benefit from it and it's more tenable than ever to make

@the_berean_man @ChoctawDoge @nekrodvna You can explain how the process is supposed to work, but what about when it doesn't? "I'm following the manual but it's not working" is the point when you're sunk without an experienced tech or engineer.

@MrJayLC @ChoctawDoge @nekrodvna many are also reticent to commit "trade secret" information in a way that would render it the property of the company they happen to work for, esp while they're still getting paid and the work is still getting done and theyre not exactly at the top of the payscale

@ChoctawDoge @nekrodvna Try writing a documentation for anything. It's ardous work and the overlap of engineering and writing is narrower than you might expect. Also imagine paying someone $250k for writing documentation. Rarely will companies recognize that as worthy investment (Though it probably is).

@NikkiH55090434 @Acion_Next @nekrodvna would it be "calling their bluff" in this case to just start migrating en masse? like im kind of kidding but also only kind of

@FrenlyHenryFord @Aella_Girl @satan0216 just like the english language, the universe will soon return to asapionormativity

@Milchut @Aella_Girl @satan0216 Rephrasing my words doesn't change them. Heteronormativity is and has been the default for time immortal. If something changes we'll note it, until then anything besides is just a curious abnormality. Observed and easily forgotten in the span of time.

@panny_lines i have *thought* of running a 'more' medieval game but frankly got overwhelmed trying to learn about the time period in the first place. Tidbits I was def interested in running but lots of stuff I dont know if I dont know

@sophianegativa tbh I think its just mind being kinda overactive and being able to anticipate those warnings. im bipolar and its genuinely a big struggle to just like, accept that im feeling good? so part of overcoming that is 'proving im not manic' to myself... dunno what a better approach is

it’s fascinating how people in a manic state are unable to recognize that they’re manic, even if the people around them are giving them all the reminders they *previously asked for* to notify them that they might be manic I wonder what it’s like from the inside…!

@pieratttt @sophianegativa I also really appreciate situations where there's less pressure to be quick or have a response ready, but also like, it can be daunting to break silence

@pieratttt @sophianegativa yeah. i def feel this, but also enjoy "trying to be witty" a lot. like partly id say that it *can* be part of being curious and sincere. but, it depends. People use it to show off, for sure, but sometimes it's like...i just wanna respond quick, and it can come across like that

do you think it’s possible to learn to be witty? I don’t mean in writing but in conversation, where processing speed matters

@P211Sami @robertskmiles a very similar argument gets trotted out for the USPS. It's not strictly the same as its a service rather than infrastructure, though

@robertskmiles This has to be sarcastic trolling to make fun of someone elses argument. I don't believe you'd unironically apply the concept of profit to public services like this

Did you know: The US Interstate Highway System has never been profitable in all the time it's been operating. It actually loses an enormous amount of money every year and can only exist because of massive government subsidy

@stitchgor3 @Katsutacle @lukadotxyz Twitter users when they look in the mirror: 😐 Twitter users when an artist doesn't eliminate or flatter features they personally feel insecure about: 🤬💢🔪

@julieoakley @ben_kushigian @SpencrGreenberg genuinely, interrogating astrology on its own basis was the thing that got me out of it. so many ppl erect the cliche horoscope strawman and burn it, so its easy to dismiss the criticism. idk if this'll reach the right ppl and move the needle for them, but its far from futile.

@ben_kushigian @SpencrGreenberg But you won’t change their minds. A bit like if you could prove God doesn’t exist.

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill. Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me): 🧵

@claymoreRPGs that is a closeup of a pixie

@deranged_ruby @WorstGirlEva I guess the question too though is like, if that's the assumption, how's the fight structured? is it (up to) 1 billion 1v1 pokemon bouts? if so, who gets to order the pokemon's roster? are team battles part of it? et cetera

actually, a billion lions could never defeat pokemon cause shedinja exists and it can only be defeated by flying, rock, ghost, fire and dark type moves. none of which real life lions have access to

@CubeApril uncommon is grey and rare is yellow

magic the gathering rarity symbols. did you think of mythic rare’s color as “orange” like uncommon and rare are “silver” and “gold”?

wait, the mythic symbol is ORANGE? ORANGE? i mean yes it has orange tones in it but i never thought of it as orange in the same way i saw uncommon and rare as silver and gold. please answer the poll below, this is hurting my head.

@claymoreRPGs common mistake, their rolls are all weighted the same, it's just that 1d20 is usually less massive than 2d6

@Rekolas what exactly is the problem with it? have you tried? even if that's true, maybe it's fine to be "retarded"!

@Milchut Yeah but you're saying we should just not have assumptions and that's retarded

@Rekolas right. and I realized my assumptions about this behavior needed to be improved. somehow people get upset when discussing the possibility of this

@Milchut What I'm trying to point out is a behavior that human beings just do. We contrast previous experience against current experience. And our assumptions are either confirmed and therefore reinforced or there is conflict and that assumption is replaced with an improved one.
