Okay but as long as we are complaining about shit we see on RPG forums

"I wish I could do $thing in DnD"

"$otherSystem has a very cool subsystem for $thing"

"Omg how dare you"

Had this conversation enough times to make it a pet peeve of mine

Anyway the only thing about 5e that does suck is Wizards of the Coast. Otherwise it's fine. It's just fine. You can have fun with it.

I'm more of a Pathfinder 2e guy tho.

(And pf2 is basically a more advanced take on what 5e was doing so....)

I'm going to 1450 and giving the natives guns before the Spaniards and the Portuguese arrive.

Without them, anglos probably won't bother either.

Ah yes

The return of the 1900s patent medicine era

Except now they'll claim it was approved by AI instead of calling it "secret slur for natives medicine"

An explained joke might lose its funny in the moment

But you also ensure future jokes riffing on similar ideas will land better. ;)

I don't get it

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

I hear they're very precise [badumsh]

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

And I am glad it works for all of you

My eyes just glaze over really fast.

Grand Theft Auto

The whole concept is profoundly uninteresting to me

And I feel there is a fundamental tension between the enjoyable part of the games (Over-the-top city chaos with lots of explosions, often aided by cheats) and what the games WANT to be (serious crime dramas I think?)

 

Like I'm not one of THOSE. I know higher = better with framerates.

BUT. I'm also old. And depending on when you ask me, I'll name The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as my favourite game of all time.

The original release of that game ran at a glorious twenty frames per second. No, not thirty. No, not even twenty-four like cinema. Twenty. And sometimes it'd choke on those too!

.... And yet. It never felt bad to play. Sure, it's better at 30FPS on the 3DS remake. Or at 60FPS in the fanmade recomp port. But the 20FPS original is still absolutely playable.

Yet like.

I was playing Fallout 4, right? And when I got to Boston it started lagging in places, because, well, it's Fallout 4. It always lags in places. The lag felt awful, like it really messed with the gamefeel. But checking the FPS counter it was at... 45.

And I'm like -- Why does THIS game, at forty-five frames a second, FEEL so much more stuttery and choked up than ye olde video games felt at twenty?

This meme¹ made the rounds here on Lemmy some days back.

And NSFW artists in the Furry fandom will often talk about how payment processors give them guff.

It holds true in lived memory, but like...

... Why?

I actually understand it for Google Ads and the like -- Google, Metabook, Bytedance et al. are really just advertisement companies with a side-gig in providing online services, and if you're an advertisement company, then "how other corporations perceive you" is what you live and die by, which forces the whole "corporate sanitisation" thing down on the users. -- So like. It does make sense, even if it's hateable.

But for the likes of Visa, and Master Card, and whatnot -- It doesn't? As I understand it their whole thing is they transfer money between parties and take a cut of the transactions. (and also give credit and charge interests on that and such) -- Why the fuck would they care what those transactions are about, so long as people are... Transacting, and thus giving them their cut?

I know this isn't quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can't think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A -- Non-youtube-y place.

Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.
