A co-worker had the hypothesis that it (being more prone to anger/aggression) is because your car is like an extension of your house, in a way it’s a bit like your moving home, so you feel more vulnerable and it makes you much more nervous about everything outside of it.

This explanation makes sense for me, but I never liked driving so who knows.

That’s one of the reasons I don’t want kids, if anything like that happened to them, some people would die and it wouldn’t be pretty.

Finished it yesterday, can confirm, while it’s not on par of course, it’s a great game and an amazing tribute to old JRPG.

Very surprised that A blind legend didn’t make it here, among all those suggestions.

Calling them just “fighters” is downplaying. Calling that a simple “culture”, instead using the proper call out like I did, is downplaying.

You telling me to engage and then baffled that I “dig” is making you look like them more and more.

It is technically “culture”. It is far from being only that though, and you somehow chose the least incriminating word to describe them.

That is baffling imo.

Point being that simply calling it a different “posting cultures” isn’t just semantic, it’s downplaying what they do.

We shouldn’t downplay racists, genocide deniers and trolls.

Go check what’s happening on shitjustworks instance currently and say that again. It’s absolutely not just a problem of “posting culture”, that’s downplaying who they are and what they do.

They’re just straight up toxic 99% of the time and they don’t seem to want to do anything about it. It’s a resounding echo of a sentiment on most Lemmy instances that it is how they act and yet, I still see weird and factually wrong takes like this.

Do you take some wine with your daily propaganda meals ?

Your experience is anecdotal. There are countless documented cases of people being not only in control while lucid dreaming, but also remembering what they did. It’s just that there is a limit to what you can do in dreams, because they have a purpose and trying to force too much through lucid dreaming ends up damaging your sleep, which your brain will do everything in its power to not let happen.

Not really what you asked, but preparing and improvising aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

IE, you can prep some encounters, rooms, vilains etc, but mostly on the surface, they don’t have to be predetermined as, for example, goblins in a cave, or the villain can be anyone or even better, you just improvise him towards the end, for a huge plot twist in your players mind, while you just picked what happened to fit the best at the time combined with what you prepared.

Adapting/reusing on the go what you prepared/envisioned is, imo, one of the best skills a DM can have and work on. And this applies for things you prepared in a previous session but happened to not use at the time.

I hope that helps.

Lucid dreaming being a thing shatter the whole premise anyway.

What do downvotes do, exactly ?

What would be the alternative ?

By you, into upvoting

They barely get funding for proper war equipments, I’m not surprised this happened. (To be clear, not doubting the Russian scientists skills in any way or form here, only their founding)

Edit: TIL, they’re hemorrhaging scientists like crazy, which doesn’t surprise me, just didn’t check beforehand

The first is a game design point and no matter how much you dislike it, it very probably participated in the game’s success. It gives a better immersion and they did a good job at actually making the rig pleasant to go through and/or waste time in.

Crassus are straight up a waste of time though yeah, and it’s a bit sad.

Haunter has always been my fav and I just realised that some of the Ghosts make for very cheap companions.

Congratulations, you just discovered the concept of vocal minority, and the damage they can do.

We’re a bit late to do anything about cancel culture tbh

Remind me of a South Park end of episode moral, said by Butters this time :

Goth Kid : I guess you can join up with us if you want.

Goth Kid 2 : Yeah. We’re gonna go to the graveyard and write poems about death and how pointless life is.

Butters : Uh, uhm no thanks. I love life.

Stan : Huh? But you just got dumped.

Butters : Well yeah, and I’m sad, but at the same time I’m really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It’s like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin’ really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I’m feelin’ is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid.

Goth Kid 2 : Yeah.

Stan : No. No, Butters, that doesn’t sound stupid at all.

Butters : Well, thanks for offering to let me in your clique, guys, but, to be honest, I’d rather be a crying little pussy than a faggy Goth kid.

We have ups and downs and we need both if we seek happiness.
