Environment be damned or don’t be damned. Because you like them or because you don’t like your neighbors … what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?
“Why would you keep those dreadful things?” - my wife’s Irish grandmother when we told her we have a hedgehog. Apparently they’re a big pest for gardeners.

Still think about this game all the time. The gameplay was fun and unique, the music is fantastic, the humor is on point. Even though you’re constantly encountering unique animal-bots, their design and animations made it very clear what their behavor was like.
Honestly, it’s just the opposite. It celebrates science in its rawest form, how everyone’s contributions, no matter how small, build on the understanding and technology of the future.
2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
I can get Canadian citizenship and my wife can get Irish citizenship. Hope it doesn’t come to that, but the crazy people here scare me, and they’re going to pull some wild shit no matter the outcome…

Very surprising that there’s no 5.5" phones on the market. I still have good eyes and I’d rather have more pocket space. Sticking with the pixel 7a for now, but yearning for a new Xperia X Compact.
We’ve limited ourselves to only one game per series, and of course there are many frightening adventures not included here.

Shout out to Miasmata, the only cartography horror game ever made! It’s really rough around the edges (like, crash-to-desktop if you tab out rough) but it’s one of the most unique games I’ve ever played. The fact that you have to use triangulation to fill out your map makes the game tense and immersive.
Best way is to do what the meme says. Make a snap judgement and roll with it. If a player objects, look it up post-game and make a modification. Don’t retcon what happened, but give a bonus/penalty to a player in order to keep things in line. Or create a scenario in which the ruling would be correct and give the players a hint to discover why.
The beauty of pen and paper is that the DM is writing the game code on the fly. Let’s use the ghost example above. Normally you need magic to deal damage to incorporeal creatures with weapons. Let’s say your players found a mysterious ring (signet ring for the local rogue guild), but as the DM you know it’s not actually magical. Since it was a clever idea, you allow the ring to deal 1d4 magical bludgeoning damage when you punch wearing it. You planned for them to find some other magic item but they found the ghost first. If they don’t have another source of damage, they could die. You decide it’s more fun they can punch a ghost, rather than hint to them they should run away.
So now you have a choice, do you decide the ring actually is magical, and change other plans you had, or do you decide that the ghost has a specific connection to this ring, so it allows damage to be dealt. Maybe it’s the ghost’s engagement ring and they were murdered by their fiancé. So, is it ALSO the signet ring, or will you guide your players to the guild some other way? Does it make a plot hole because of how they found the ring or what some NPC said about it? Maybe that magic weapon you planned for them to find is the actual key to getting into the guild.
It basically just goes on and on like this, for the whole campaign~
If only we had a concrete answer about an afterlife and a method to guarantee admission. But yeah if the choice was fun magic now or eternal paradise, well bless us Lord for we have sinned.
They missed the part where he has a history of mental health issues and had heard voices telling him to kill people. He should have lost access to his guns.
Ehhhh maybe it’s my American showing, but I’ve known lots of hobbyist clay shooters that are responsible, great people. Not to mention that hunting is more than a hobby to many; it’s a way of life. I don’t think we should police hobbies to that degree. Much moreso, we should have initial and updated background checks on gun owners.
This meme needs to die already. You can simultaneously enjoy a new experience while others rightly have criticisms of it. Often the Venn diagram is a circle.
No, this meme is saying that there’s two groups of gamers that have opposing views, and the critics are fools for expecting a quality product.
In reality, the group that are playing and enjoying the game are really the only people posting criticisms, because they genuinely like the game.
To give recent examples, people memed on the Lord of the Rings Gollum game, but nobody was seriously demanding better from the development studio, because nobody actually gave a shit. Conversely, people post criticisms of Cities Skylines II and Starfield because they like the games and wish they could be better.
Strange, I’ve never seen someone doing this. So, they’re in some walkway choke point at the food court handing out a menu like “hey look at that restaurant over there, you could get some General Tso’s for 25% off today” kind of thing. Not much different from the sign spinners on the sidewalk I guess.
