@itrousnoxide @PintLive lol is this the thing where ds3 copers complain about elden ring having actual combo flowcharts instead of rollspam and call the rollspam 'interesting boss design'

@PintLive Why would he be railing XIV while fighting *Gwyndolin* of all bosses not only has Souls games abandoned any interesting boss design for DDR with parry/dodge timings, he's fighting the most "don't stand in the bad" boss Miyazaki has ever made while grilling the concept

@HaileyFlemx The people who are opposed to MAID have thought through the good parts and the bad parts. The people in favor of MAID have never even considered the bad parts.

@cfourcrispy @TheBasicExpert1 it also suggests more simpler, or easier to manage rules. 'tabletop' suggests a board or its equivalent, an abstraction used to render a complex situation.

@TheBasicExpert1 I much prefer the term "pen and paper RPGs" to "TTRPG." I find it nostalgic.

The Basic Expert@TheBasicExpert1·
The replies to this post are hilarious. Many of the "no wrong way to play" types are honestly the most vitriolic jerks out there on how to play. They cannot comprehend NOT railroading their players or allowing players to have input in the game world that may alter their railroad novelization plans. I've felt for a while there are two different hobbies. There are pen-and-paper RPGs, and then there are storytime non-game practitioners who use the same language as TTRPGs in order to tell bad novels and fan fiction. But they are not playing pen-and-paper RPGs. They are doing something else. The sooner we acknowledge this difference, the sooner we can stop talking past each other. We are not in the same hobby and not playing the same game or games or even games at all. It's like people who play mobile games telling people who play Counter-Strike they are into the exact same thing.

DM advice that so thoroughly ruined an entire generation of D&D that the company is slowly discontinuing their own product. It's taken years for new gamers to shake off their stupor, and they might not fully recover. #dnd

@TheBasicExpert1 the mobile games analogy is doubly applicable when considering how consumerist this side of the hobby is in comparison.

@GlassStarMan @TheBasicExpert1 at some level I think this can lead to talking past each other - a game is still a sandbox if you describe the world with things that interest players. but if phrased differently it can sound like railroading. in the end it's about respecting what the players want to do.

@TheBasicExpert1 As I've said to others, to me sandbox is when you don't direct the players, railroad is when you do. In my experience I trend really far towards not directing the players. All the feedback i get tells me that they enjoy the game more when they get at least some direction.

Go on, give me another anti-electoral take. Tell me how you'll never vote for Newsom. Share another conspiracy theory about how Bernie got robbed in 2016. Let me know about your favorite Nazi in Maine. Repost that stupid fucking Squirrel or Hasan Piker one more time, I dare you.

@patmcculloch @dimitripilled isn't it convenient that almost every sci fi author writes a scenario where it's normal for the protagonist to write and apparently think like a retard

@dimitripilled The conceit of those passages is they're the log entries of an astronaut that's been assumed dead, stranded on Mars, and attempting to keep himself alive and sane. You think he should be writing like Hemingway?
