You’re already doing that with insurance premiums. Universal healthcare is that but cheaper because the government doesn’t have a profit incentive to price gouge.

That’s why giving out the last 4 digits isn’t safe. It’s trivial to derive the first 5 with public records and a lookup table.
Threatening violence against civilians in the pursuit of political aims, huh? If only we had a word for that.
If it turns out that we’re actually truly past the point of no return and nothing we do will save our species, I don’t think the response is going to be as passive as billionaires would like.
I wouldn’t have put it past them.
Good old toupee fallacy.
This is why I’m looking forward to the first few seasons of PoE2. It sounds like they’re starting out focused on making the moment to moment gameplay more interesting. They’ll cave to the zoom zoom crowd soon enough and ruin the game with power creep within a year, so I’m very much planning on treating it as a temporary game, but it’ll be fun while it lasts.
The warrior-king model certainly had its own flaws, but at least when the king declared war, he picked up a sword and fought.
It was, but now it’s a steaming turd with Nazis and KKK apologists.
No, they’ve alternated between good and bad ever since 98.
98 - good
ME - bad
XP - good
Vista - bad
7 - good
8 - bad
10 - good (eventually)
11 - bad
Yeah, the GOP wants checks notes the exact same thing but using a different religion to justify it. Totally different.
If you want to go absolutely strict RAW with the creature/object distinction, resurrection spells don’t technically work. They target “a creature that died”, which, by an obnoxiously precise reading of the rules, can’t exist. After they die, they’re an object and not a valid target.
I don’t understand why they can’t just make “dead” a state a creature can be in.
To put into perspective just how trivial it is, the actual amount of energy of splitting a single nucleus is on the order of picojoules. The shock from touching a doorknob is a few millijoules, literally millions of times more powerful.
Watch a speedrun. They avoid almost all encounters and still nuke bosses in a few turns.
I can’t think of a single remotely modern JRPG with required grinding. It’s usually that you have the choice between learning how the game works or overleveling to brute force everything. People then do the latter and don’t even realize the former was an option.
Exactly, it’s right there in the name. It’s both role-playing and a game, both parts are important. Rules create a common understanding of how the world functions and how your actions are going to affect it. Everyone at the table knows, to some extent, what you’d be rolling to try something, how good you’d be at that roll, how difficult it appears to be, and the likely consequence of success or failure, allowing the same kind of informed decisions sitting at a table in front of a character sheet and a pile of dice that you’d be able to make if you were your character living in the game’s world. None of this inhibits role-playing, it enhances it.
Why even have high level spells if you can just “rule of cool” lower level spells into duplicating their effects? At that point just houserule that Wish is a cantrip. As soon as you start to powergame the rule of cool, you no longer deserve it.

The real answer is probably DoDonPachi SDOJ. Inbachi, the true final boss, went undefeated for over ten years.
In other words, emulators are crucial for game preservation? This shows that Nintendo knows that, and when they say it’s not the case, they’re not simply wrong, they’re lying.
