Pray to Saint Luigi for guidance.

It’s certainly not easy. But what saint Luigi allegedly did might become common if more people feel like their back is against the wall and there’s no peaceful way forward.

The hypocrisy, mostly. Conservatives go on about “waste”, and fire a bunch of people who were actually doing work. Meanwhile, this silver spoon’d asshole is making $800k for doing barely anything.

We shouldn’t put up with the rich anymore.

“I want computers to do my laundry so I can do art. Instead computers are doing the art.”

All of this AI stuff would be fine (or at least less bad) if we didn’t live in a capitalist dystopia where people might have their basic needs (food, shelter, etc) threatened so some rich turd can become a little richer.

Sounds like it. But the people who suffered from under funded education will never have that injury remedied.

The people responsible for this problem (I’m assuming Republicans) should face some consequences.

It’s going to bother me forever that, even if we do get some sort of new deal, the people who shit up the world will never really be made to pay for it. Like, one time Facebook tried to see if they could just make people sad by changing the feed algorithm. And yet no one hanged for that mass cruelty, and no one ever will. Energy companies pollute the air and water, lie about the facts and consequences, and then are never put up against the wall and shot. It’s unfair. It’s not right. Little new deal changes to raise minimum wage or provide mandatory maternity leave are good, but they’re not enough to account for the crimes and injustice.

The people who shit up the world should pay. In money, in time, or in blood. But if they skate free, that’s another insult and injury on top of everything else.

You ever wonder if Republicans are actually aliens that are trying to terraform earth to be more like their own planet? (whatever that is. Maybe hell.)

Can’t be the first person to have had that idea

I believe this article misses the real reasons: labor isn’t paid enough.

Capital makes record profits but that isn’t being shared with the people who do the work.

If they weren’t punished they won’t learn much. Now if all the Republicans who tried this mini-coup were removed from office, that’d be a start.

Stop going to nazi bars.

unless they’re going to do some successful July 20 tier stuff, i’m not sure it’s going to save the day.

A lot of their supporters seem to be “keep the government out of medicare” tier thinkers.

Some feedback: the “hi I’m coi” thing at the top? I thought it was another LLM AI thing introducing itself. I closed the tab immediately, but then double checked when I read the rest of this post.

The social media links at the top, especially Twitter, are a negative for me. Fuck twitter and Facebook.

The big color buttons (that are not actually buttons) interspersed with text is a choice but it feels very bad-modern to me. If you’re going for more retro pre-shit, maybe take inspiration from https://evenbettermotherfucking.website/ or friends.

But somehow they’re not being treated as traitors and saboteurs!

Most of us are just sitting and watching in horror. A handful are clutching their pearls and going on about how violence is never even okay.

Red flag? Sounds communist. Better we die of measles like real americans. /s

The “you hate every party of capitalism but refuse to entertain any alternatives” thing going on here is really aggravating.

A real, courageous, patriot would stop Musk.

I saw “No Men” play a tiny show and it’s still one of my favorites. They put on a great show and also they were super friendly with everyone in the crowd. I saw them another time after at a bigger venue and they even remembered me and my friend.

This topic is one of the things that brings up how people are emotional first, and sometimes only.

Like, I’ll point out all the problems with golf, and all the better things we could use the space and resources for, and the pro-golf person will respond with “but i like it” as if that means a fucking damn thing.

The fact that some people “like” golf is not enough to justify the poor use and allocation of resources.

(Yes, I realize I’m holding onto a years old argument I had with a peer and that’s not especially healthy. But I feel like this argument comes up all the time. I’ll be like “We can’t keep building for cars-first. It’s bad for the environment, bad for the neighborhoods, bad for the economy, bad for the people in the cars” and they’ll just go “But I like my car” as if that refutes anything at all)

How I feel about mana depends largely on how quickly it regenerates. It can be just a reskin of spells-per-day or spells-per-encounter, or it could be something more interesting.

DA:O had unlimited mana potions, which meant essentially you spend a small amount of time to refresh mid fight. Not very deep tactically, but more or less fine.

I don’t think resource management is really a thing most people actually enjoy. Most people don’t like timed missions, so you probably don’t want to use that to prevent people from resting a lot. You don’t want to soft-lock players by letting them blow their resources too soon, so they can’t win the fight but don’t have a way to restore. The dark souls style “you reset at the checkpoint but so do the monsters. Keep trying until you get it right” works for me, but a lot of people hate that.

There are so many ways you could do magic, and it’s a bummer that vancian magic takes up so much space.

DND just isn’t as good and universal as people think it is, but it’s hugely influential anyway.

Side note: DND is balanced around like 6 “medium” encounters per day. You’re supposed to slowly trickle down your resources. Turns out most groups do one encounter per day on average, and then the system doesn’t work very well at all. There’s lot of patches (eg: gritty realism) but the problem remains people don’t seem to want to do that kind of cadence.

I meant how in poe1 and 2 might (the stat) is 3% more damage per point, so it’s hard to feel the difference between might 10 and might 15. Does +15% of 10 damage make a meaningful difference? It’s probably the same as +12%, right, or is there decimal damage too? I guess when multiplied by power levels it’s a bigger deal, but that’s kind of opaque.

Also “like proficiency bonuses on crack” is deeply funny to me as someone who played DND 3e. Base attack bonus every level, skill ranks up every level, oh so many memories and not all of them good.
