Clearly not from the up votes on my original comment. But I’m glad you could masturbate your ego there for a bit. Hope the dopamine helped.

Lemmy is so much worse than reddit for this antisocial shit, it’s ridiculous. Only a handful of you seem to know how to continue a conversation without choosing to shoot snide remarks and condescension, then wonder why active users are dropping month over month.

I’ll cry into my filled weekend social life and life partner of over a decade, you pegged me just so accurately. Super relevant username btw.

Dude, you specified a company and I pointed out their parent company instead. I agreed with your original statement just indicated a better target. In the future, in social situations, a person who isn’t filled with angst would normally say something like “Oh you’re right, good call” or “Yeah, that would work too.” Something that adds to and continues the conversation instead of being a weird, defensive neckbeard about it. Have a good rest of your life, bud.

There’s no reason that people should assume you meant Alphabet rather than Google? Seeing as you used “Google” rather than “Alphabet” as they’re two different words. English is fun!

That needs to happen more with Alphabet than Google but either would be great.

I really want to see Peertube flourish but I’m just not sure it’s going to work out. Video streaming platforms are a much different beast than the micro blogs of Mastodon or forums of Lemmy. But, this is a good step in that direction so good luck to them.

Let’s not pretend that all algorithms are the same.

But if we don’t, how can we act superior to people who use algorithm based platforms? /s

*it’s not fun in 5e

Bulk/weight/encumbrance in other systems is handled well and makes it so equipment choices matter more and the players choices have more impact on the game, while not being terribly designed so it feels like a chore (aka 5e)

Yup. When I used to run 5e I made my own homebrew encumbrance system that worked way better then read PF2 rules and got annoyed because this character concept is viable in PF2 and it has an encumbrance system that actually works.

There’s held items, stored items, and worn items. Held and worn can be easily accessed but count against your bulk limit. Stored items (in your backpack) count against your bulk less so you can carry more but take longer to access in battle. So if you’re strong enough you can literally wear your entire weapon arsenal just like this meme since there’s no limit to worn items as long as it’s not above your max bulk lol

(Bulk is an abstracted form of weight that makes encumbrance easier to track)

Alright, PF2 rant done. Seeing your frustrations with 5e bulk reminded me of my own when I still ran that system lol

I had this sweet thing, I was the coolest kid on the block I tell ya.

I’m telling you, just play Pathfinder 2e already. They have great dying rules that prevents up/down abuse with the wounded condition building on the dying condition to stop the up/down cheese seen in 5e.

I used to run 5e for years and also use to make all kinds of house rules and systems just like this to get it to run how I wanted it to because it doesn’t do much outside of combat out of the box. I read through the PF2e rulebook and kicked myself for not switching sooner because they have a rule for damn near everything I would want to run and super balanced at the same time.

Really brave of them, that’s not an easy thing to do considering the circumstances they’re under. I hope they all stay safe during their protests. Or that there was anything I could do to help them.

You got a link? Sounds like a fun read.

Of course the YouTube comments are disgusting. Hamas are horrid barbarians for this, that is not excusing Israel’s history of human rights violations. But there is nothing about this act that is justifiable.

Yeah an hour and a few gold isn’t really a penalty at all in 5e with how easy it is to get money. Even at low levels imo. I’ve been doing this gag since level two (we’re now level fourteen) and the cost was a joke then too.

Because 5e has no mechanical incentive to keep familiars alive I made it a running joke to repeatedly kill my familiar with my AOE spells. It dies every combat session and normally to my own fireballs or lightning bolts. My familiar hates my wizard but is contractually obligated (magically bound) to obey my orders. When it glares at me I’ll yell “you don’t have a union!” made the GM laugh and the Ranger gasp the first time lol

But I think the GM is making a familiar union will my owl familiar as the founder.

That’s not what the comment thread was talking about. It wasn’t about removing the instance from running just to stop advertising it on the join-lemmy site and they refused.

Okay, so they do have a line. Nazi’s just don’t cross that line for them. Awesome job, dev team.

Edit: Now downvotes on an anti-nazi comment. Lemmy sure has become a shit place as of late.

I wouldn’t hold your breath, they didn’t even want to remove the Nazi instance in their AMA.

Edit: To the responses, great, it’s gone. Removing that pedo content shows that they’re not too overworked to purge content like that from join-lemmy. So there’s no reason for them not to remove the Nazi instances being advertised on the front page of join-lemmy. We’ll just look the other way on that one I guess.

Sure, here you go. Personally, I don’t like his responses.

This is just extra special of not feeling great about lemmy into the future.

You can still be shitty in those communities too, but with better moderation tools other people who want a space without bigots and hatred can still maintain those. So we can have both, right now it’s mainly the shitty people that are happy. Which is not good for building lasting communities.
