Fair enough. I personally can't go back to physical. Digital is just so helpful for me as a DM. I think pretty much anything can still be run as long as you have the books, but again it's a question of whether or not you want new published content. If you are happy with the snapshot of the game that exists in the materials you have, then by all means.

They didn't call you a troll, they said you either need to take a break, are unwilling to self-reflect, or are a troll. At least one of those things (but probably multiple) is definitely true.

You can peruse the list of OP's accounts I provided. He won't deny that they are all him. You can see similar mannerisms pervade all of them. Certain personal details and opinions that colour everything he says.

Oh absolutely. I think there may come a point within the next decade where violence is inevitable. But IMO they aren't there yet.

Yeah but making a new personality isn't easy. So you reveal yourself right away and then get banned. If you don't want to get banned, try not being so obviously the same person.

My mistake, I thought you were advocating political violence in your original comment (like many others in this thread are). Didn't mean to strawman you. Thought you were voicing agreement with all those other comments.

It depends on the edition, and whether or not you want to pirate or have access to new content or digital companion tools, either 1st or 3rd party.

4e is basically unplayable digitally now because of licensing issues for the companion technology. If you still have the books you could try, but it's an edition that leaned heavily on the assumption that digital tools would be used.

5e scared off a ton of 3rd party creators with the proposed licensing changes last year, and their new 5.5 edition looks to not be very open at all in terms of creator content. You might as well play a spinoff system like the Kobold press 5e or the LOTR 5e.

3.5 and earlier is still possible but the content was mostly never digitized into a good online resource. You could still play pen and paper, but if you're going back that far you might as well just play a more modern system that draws inspiration from the older D&D system like OSR or PF.

All that being said, it's all still playable, it just doesn't have much of a future if you don't want to get sucked into enshittification, ads, and microtransactions that Hasbro has committed to transforming the game into.

That's a Furby

Yeah the only innovation here is that OpenAI had the balls to use the entire internet as a training set. The underlying algorithms aren't really new, and the limitations have been understood by data scientists, computer scientists, and mathematicians for a long time.

Ngl this one seems kinda cringe. Isn't it basically saying "My girlfriend is jealous and doesn't let me talk to other women"?

Maybe I'm not understanding the joke
