Jorgelino,

That reminds me of Dune, where they have high tech stuff like spaceships, but no computers or AI, because this sort of thing already happened ages ago and it led to them being banned.

Jorgelino,

How does the game being old make the accomplisments less impressive though?

Jorgelino,

I fail to see the issue

Jorgelino,

The argument you’re defending is that a fantasy world doesn’t need to have any realism, yet you’re defending it by coming up with reasons why this fantasy world is actually realistic.

Jorgelino, (edited )

Who are you talking about? What the OP said was :

I don’t have a problem with having disabled people in a TTRPG setting, but I hate the “it’s fantasy, stop whining about realism” argument.

You came along, not to say anything about disabled people in RPGs, but to defend the claim “it’s fantasy, stop whining about realism”.

This isn’t about disabilities, it’s about dismissing any and all criticisms of fantasy simply because fantasy isn’t the real world.

Fantasy, like any genre of fiction, is of course, made up, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any rules. Each fantasy world establishes its own rules, and tries to follow it as best as it can, because that makes the worlds consistent, and more believable. Does that mean those rules can never be broken? No. But you need to come up with a reason why.

That’s all this is about, coming up with reasons why things exist/happen, that’s the core of fiction. If you have a reason why disabled people still exist in your games despite healing magic, that’s awesome, keep at it. If you don’t, i mean… You do you, but don’t go complaining when people complain about it, they’re not ableists (not necessarily at least), they just don’t like bad writing.

You literally came up with a ton of reasons why disabled people can exist in a fantasy setting, so i don’t understand why you’re so against the idea.

Jorgelino,

look, sorry if it came out that way, but i’m not upset. I just found it funny that you were basically like:

“We don’t need explanations for things in fantasy, here are some explanations for this thing in fantasy”

I think we’re ultimately in agreement here despite the nitpicking though, so have a good day.

Jorgelino,

That’s kind of the point though. If “hustling like a crackhead” wasn’t obviously a bad thing, there’d be no joke here.

Jorgelino,

PC is perfectly able to have that graphic now

Jorgelino,

Mormon - m = Oro

Jorgelino,

The n stands for nothing, therefore it’s invisible.

Jorgelino,

Perhaps…

Jorgelino,

While Musk is undeniably a massive dickhead, let’s not devalue space exploration because of him. Many things we rely on today such as GPS, certain types of medical treatments and drugs, even eye surgery, were only possible due to the advancement of space technology.

Rocketships don’t help people directly, but for isntance, they put satelites in orbit that help farmers have a more precise control and understanding over their crops, putting more food on our plates.

Jorgelino,

In all my years of driving complete beaters in awful road conditions, I’ve never encountered a mechanical failure that was that dangerous.

I mean… to be fair, if you did you probably wouldn’t be here to post this. Bit of a survivor bias.

Jorgelino,

All it takes is for one of these things to stack with other, less avoidable, problems. Say you’re driving in ice or during the rain, maybe on a shitty road full of holes; Now a steering failure that wouldn’t mormally be enough to cause an accident, suddenly becomes much more deadly.

Jorgelino,

That’s a weird sign. If it’s made by a church or other religous group, you’d think they wouldn’t phrase it like that, as it implies god doesn’t exist, but of course an atheist wouldn’t be making signs talking about god either.

So, is this “Business Alpha Nottingham” some weird agnostic church or what? The website doesn’t work fyi.

Jorgelino,

Yeah but usually people aren’t this self aware

Jorgelino,

Why would you be hoping for a cold winter in brazil right now? We’re nearing summer.

Jorgelino,

Still shouldn’t be expecting winter in late spring.

Jorgelino, (edited )

I kinda like it still, because if it’s something i’m looking forward to, then i’m probably super nervous about it, so cancelling it makes me relieved i don’t have to worry about it right now. (Assuming it was just pushed further down the road rather than cancelled forever)

Like, i love DMing TTRPG games, and i hate how hard it is to schedule sessions, but at the same time, i secretly love it when a session needs to be cancelled because i’m always less prepared than i’d like to be.

Jorgelino,

No, your honor, it wasn’t me who did it! It was I.

Jorgelino,

Because tomatoes are the perfect fruit/vegetable and improve every single dish they’re in, without exception.

Jorgelino,

That doesn’t really answer why they drew it like that though.

Surely there’s a reason why that particular style became popular.

Jorgelino,

You only need two fingers for that though

    Jorgelino,

    That’s why i’m a Non Stamp Collector. Nothing controversial to argue about here.

    Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)

    In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....

    Jorgelino,

    Me neither. Even Bing is better than google nowadays.

    Also, when it comes to piracy, google basically blocks every relevant result.

    Jorgelino,

    I don’t like this meme. Not because of the politics involved or anything, it just doesn’t make sense.

    I know it’s supposed to be a subversion of “They’re the same picture”, but now the conversation doesn’t work anymore.

    Corporate wants you to find the difference between the two pictures, not just confirm that they are indeed different. They know that.

    Jorgelino,

    And then there’s those of us on the other side of the hemisphere, where december is summer and 30°C is normal everyday temperature.

    I literally start shivering at anything below 20°C.

    Jorgelino,

    Do sectoids count? I mean, look at them, that’s basically a little alien toddler

    Jorgelino,

    And of these 8 players only 3 show up consistently.

    Jorgelino,

    But then the fuckers started showing up consistently for every session!

    Suffering from success

    Jorgelino,

    Check him out on Taskmaster or Would I Lie to You as well! His story about the cabbage kid on WILTY is absolutely hilarious.

    Jorgelino,

    This even works across languages. In brazilian portuguese, a chick is called “Pinto” which is also a slang for dick.

    Jorgelino,

    I see it as the DM realising the items he gave the players are too OP and deciding to remove them. A bit clunky, but reasonable depending on the item, imo.

    I would’ve thought from your previous rant, that you’d be against players having too many OP items, as that can easily lead to the situation you described where everyone always succeeds and there’s no “desperate struggle”, as you put it.

    Jorgelino,

    Just searched and didn’t find any.

    If only there was a red circle to help us find it!

    Jorgelino, (edited )

    Yes, that’s the first thing i tried.

    Edit: I guess i didn’t, since shift+shutdown worked. Or at least i did, but windows said: “I’m going to ignore that”

    Jorgelino,

    Will try, thanks.

    Jorgelino,

    That worked! Thanks.

    But like, i’m pretty sure i turned off fast boot, not sure why windows was still doing this hybrid shutdown bs.

    Jorgelino,

    Yes, shift+shutdown worked.

    Jorgelino,

    Just to make it clear for anyone coming in now, the problem was solved! Thanks everyone for all the help.

    It was really simple in the end, all i did was shift+shutdown on windows and it worked.

    Jorgelino,

    If we’re on a campaign where survival is a thing we need to worry about i have to assume goodberry is banned.

    Jorgelino,

    I have only ever played online, but already have several sets of dice i’ve never used, because i hope one day we may play in person.

    Jorgelino,

    I haven’t watched it yet due to the whole OGL business that was going on at the time. Maybe i’ll give it a try now.

    Jorgelino,

    You don’t have to be dead to donate organs. And donating something like a kidney does impact your health.

    Jorgelino,

    For sure, but i’d argue it’s maybe comparable to the chef example.

    Jorgelino,

    It’s playtest material made by WotC, the company that makes D&D.

    Any new ideas that they’re not completely sure about, gets released as Unearthed Arcana first, players then can test it and give feedback, which they can use to balance out any issues it might have, before eventually releasing it officially in a book.

    Jorgelino,

    You could also let them die and have the campagin continue 50 years later with a different party after the bad guys have taken over.

    Jorgelino,

    “Are you okay? This is the fifth time you went to the bathroom this session.”
