A proper and full Disco Elysium sequel with Harry’s ongoing adventures, maybe even with the prior game’s save file reasonably used as a starter for how things begin next time around. sicko-wistful
BUT THERE IS SOME REALLY GOOD CURRY IN THE UK BECAUSE SOME CONQUERED PEOPLES WERE COERCED TO THE OLD IMPERIAL CORE TO TRY TO ECONOMICALLY SURVIVE SO TAKE THAT frothingfash
I didn’t even deny anything specific about the colonially seized food; I was reflecting some very loud seething that got brought up during older dunks on jellied eels or beans on toast.
This is my long standing hot take and point of contention with rules as written in conventional D&D fantasy rule sets: death, if the rules of the game were actually applied to the setting, is less about finality (except for the lifespan limitation contrivance) and more about health insurance or lack thereof. People who die that have enough money should by all means have family that pay for raises (or resurrections when the body isn’t available) as a matter of course and the material consequences of that would be that premature death from violence, illness, or accident would be mostly a poor people thing. Funerals would be awkward in setting: “sorry you can’t afford a rez. The divines bless the departed I guess, lol.”
There’s this constant tension with D&D where it wants to be medieval and it wants to have easily-reproducible magic. Follow the magic through to its logical conclusion and you get essentially modern technology with a mystical/medieval aesthetic, ignore it and you get big blatant plot holes.
For decades, Forgotten Realms tried really had to be this “peasants have their minds blown if they see even a level one Magic-User spell being cast; this is a grounded and gritty setting sort of” pretense in the official materials, but then there’s basically a magocracy running most cities (even the fucking Luskan pirates and other “savage frontier” big mean guys!) and maps full of “oh a web spell is on this window at all times” sorts of signs that maybe those peasants should be a lot more familiar with the very special very rare spellcasters that rule over them and make all the important decisions.
spoilerOne of my worst experiences at the Golden Corral was some douchey fratboys (that of course harassed my coworker and called her fat when she declined to give them further attention because of fucking course they did) that were so drunk that one of them vomited all over the table they sat at, making the rest of them laugh obnoxiously loud which turned further heads toward what had just happened, and then one of them got up, enraged that me and my coworkers were too busy to dive at the frat boys’ feet and immediately clean up the vomit. Like, seconds later, after the laughter barely stopped. Contextually, Golden Corral is a very gross place and when it’s especially crowded and there’s gross things to at least superficially clean up in 3-4 parts of the facility at any given time, it will take at least a few minutes to get anything done, especially while the frat boys are still hooting and grunting while still sitting around the vomit.
Of course the real-world reason is that it’s cheaper to shake the camera and set off a firecracker than to build a scale model just to paint a burn scar on the side....
It doesn’t come across as a group wanting to make change, but complain.
And what the fuck are you doing here? Besides implying some magical “solarpunk solutions” to a planet being on fire and increasing choked with plastic (that probably don’t involve abolishing capitalism because that would be a scary Hexbear thing to do) without specifying what those supposed “solutions” are what are you doing here besides complaining about Hexbear?
They got something in common: get those hundred talking long enough and it’s likely they’ll sooner or later start talking about how much they don’t like age of consent laws libertarian-alert

I would really enjoy a new comprehensive story-driven-but-still-strategic hybrid game like the 90s game Reunion. It was weird, stupidly hard and even unfair if you didn’t know where to go and when, but it’s also the most challenging game I ever completed without any hint book or walkthrough, ever.

I’ve always found emoji haters to just be weird crotchety redditors in general, I’ve looped around from being one as a kid to like coming to appreciate them nowadays, also custom emojis are cool AF and I can’t wait until Lemmy starts to fix the problem with Lemmy emojis getting shown massively to users from other instances so I don’t have to keep a mental checklist of which emojis get mega sized to non Hb users
My hot take while agreeing with you: 🤣 😂 is thoroughly lead-poisoned by passive aggressive boomers raging out while trying very hard to seem “not mad” and those particular emojis are often a red flag when used.
Dude, Wtf? First, what’s up with the usage of “liberal” here?
Here it comes.
You guys need to learn more words. Nothing about this is political, and check my comment history for political comments. Get out of here.
Condescending smarmy statements, “nothing about this is political” bullshit claims (it’s actually hard to really narrow down many things that aren’t political if you’re not willfully ignorant), and dismissive smuglord shit is culturally liberal to a Reddit tier, and so is your apparent position that you’re “nonpolitical” to begin with. That’s just status quo advocacy without the courage to own it.
All of this because you want to call people “insane” in a way that is comfortable to you without pushback, the same way that people wanted to say the n-word and use homophobic slurs without pushback like in the early 2000s.
Once again, you need so very badly for your very cool and cromulent word choice to be vindicated, resenting being told otherwise as if you’ve been told to eat your veggies and go to bed at a reasonable time because you have school tomorrow.

I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?
