6e when?

Generally speaking, it’s almost always a bad idea to fudge things to make it worse, but acceptable to fudge things to make it better.

If your players are rolling well, good for them! Sometimes players want to feel really lucky and like their investments paid off. If that makes your campaign too easy there are lots of ways to address it, and an easy fight will rarely if ever cause a campaign to crumble

But a series of bad rolls? That can absolutely melt a campaign. It can suck the soul out of a party and make things feel unfair or too difficult even when it’s just a string of bad luck. Preventing a TPK or allowing a PC to narrowly escape certain doom can be the difference between a player losing interest and them learning how to mitigate risk.

GMs should all spend some time reading up on the psychology of games and player behavior. Stress and frustration exist in the strangest, most illogical places because our brains are strange and illogical.

1. I know. I’m in favor, to the degree that it’s possible and non-punitive. But until we’re prepared to do it at home we cannot be demanding it abroad

2. I fully concur that Israel is an oppressive state and deserves sanctions. Even more so now. Netenyahu is a criminal and so is most of his cabinet. I won’t equivocate on that. The hasidics especially are despicable. I just know there are a whole lot of reasonable people living in Israel who ought not lose their nationality at this stage

3. first of all I never said which had to come from where or when. But if you want to be serious, them I expect kindness in the form of ousting Hamas. That’s it. Get rid of the people whose charter is the destruction of the Jewish state in favor of their own.

Edit: call it performative, but you were at 0 votes on your reply and I’m using my vote to put you at +1 because you are engaging in genuine dialogue, so far

“BuT tHeY aRe CoLoNiZeRs AnD iSrAeL sHoUlDn’T eXiSt!”

Cool. So every country is gonna give back their land to the indigenous peoples they took it from, right? Right?!

We can start with America and work our way down the list from there.

Someday people will figure out that all of this, all of it, everything we have, is built with the blood of innocents. And we only have three options now: start repairing these relationships through kindness, grace, and good works; watch one side wipe out the other; or fuel the ongoing violence in perpetuity.

That’s all we have left and I personally prefer the first option but so, so many people opt for 2 or 3 that it makes me numb.

I hear what you’re trying to say, but the old “if it’s not true then why do you care” line is honestly bullshit. Like, we live in a world where money can buy airtime and airtime can drastically influence the ignorant. It’s why FOX News is such a problem.

Don’t get me wrong, Drake is a total pedophile and deserves to lose this. And he should’ve known better than to bring the suit because it’s so obvious he was gonna lose.

But that doesn’t make your argument accurate.

Removed by mod

You just ignored thousands of years of history prior to the formation of Israel, as well as the role the international community played in its formation, just to make your naive, myopic point.

So no, you haven’t proved anything but the fact that you will say whatever is easiest to push your agenda.

Peace out ✌️

Eh I would point out that fascism doesn’t need to be racist to be evil, AND that there’s a reason why fascism is the preferred form of government for racists.

So, like, you’re not technically wrong but I think the point you’re making is bordering on moot.

Fascism is bad. Racism is bad. Most racists are fascists. Many fascists are racists.

The venn diagram of fascists and bigots of one type or another is damn close to a perfect circle

I support the resistance. I do not support all of their actions.

I support the right for Israel to exist as a sovereign state. I support almost none of their recent actions, and absolutely none of their military actions.

That you cannot hold multiple complex ideas in your head at once is a personal failing on your part. You may want simple, binary, black and white realities but they virtually never exist in reality.

Any group that is beyond reproach is immoral by definition.

Once again: Do better.

I’d say there’s an 80% chance Zohran farmed the writing out to staff and trusted them to provide him something good. And I’d say the remaining 20% is that he wrote the words himself using a fact sheet provided by staffers.

You really think politicians write their own shit if it’s longer than a tweet? You think he has time to personally fact check every statistic on every document he puts his name on?

Like, this kind of stuff happens all the fucking time.

If he uses the statistic again after this I might give him shit for it, but the rest of his position is still valid regardless.

I’d ask for a source on this but I know you don’t have one

Kinda sad watching the left call him an Israeli shill while the right calls him a Palestinian shill. Thus is the unfortunate lot of brown people. Ever a tool of people with an agenda.

Zohran is not the first person to be accused of malicious intent by both sides of an issue using completely opposite reasoning (both flawed) and he certainly won’t be the last. But it will always make me laugh at the stupidity of people who talk out of their ass.

Did I denounce the resistance? No, I denounced you. And murder.

Weird hill to die on

We can denounce Israel without justifying other atrocities. Do better.

1000% yes. I’m infuriated by Israel’s behavior. Netenyahu is a murderous shit bag. Hell, I know Israeli nationals who hate the guy and his entire government.

We just gotta be real fucking careful because, for example, synagogues in Manchester have nothing the fuck to do with Bibi and his war crimes

Tbh it would be absolutely fantastic if a game pulled this off today.

“Did…did this game just burn itself to a DVD-R before wiping itself from my drive? Where did it even get a DVD-R from??? Wait a sec, my PC didn’t even have a DVD drive before today! Why is there a charge to PCRepairGuy on my credit card?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?”

Fuck JK Rowling

Fuck the Israeli government

Fuck the hasidics and their colonization of the West Bank

Fuck Western leaders who fund the Israeli war machine

But if you don’t realize that “globalize the intifada” has been used as a slogan backing suicide bombings in civilian areas, indiscriminate rocket attacks against civilians, and unadulterated antisemitism, then fuck you too.

Even our boi Zohran Mamdani has figured this one out.

Sincerely, a far-left American Jew who is really sick of having to explain that dog-whistles and protest signs saying “death to Jews” are still antisemitic even now.

P.S. if you can’t describe the events of the second intifada then you may want to consider looking it up before you use that phrase

Yeah I hate the state of politics in the US as much as the next leftist right now but this is very fake. Not “doctored photo” fake, but “someone fabricated this document for clout” fake

Oof. Well called out. I feel terrible. Removing

Good job projecting your personal preferences and dating strategy onto every other person in the world 👍

Also, good job failing to empathize with people who are regularly lied to and intentionally misled by people with negative intent, because “not all men” or what the fuck ever logical equivalent

Yup, that’s pretty much it.

And you’re exactly correct: it is a niche solution to a very specific problem.

And that makes the OP meme wrong and ignorant; an overly broad generalization that fails to educate, instead perpetuating a “crypto bad” mentality projected onto a useful piece of tech.

It’s like saying “when do you need nuclear fission? Never” ignoring the fact that nuclear power is the perfect solution for some very specific use cases (like powering rovers on Mars) and a good solution to a few others (large scale terrestrial power generation)
