Do you mean Witcher 3? Might’ve been autocorrected.

Crazy that they removed the screaming from subsequent editions of the Necronomicon. Nowadays it’s gone through so many revisions new copies don’t even bleed. Sometimes the modern special editions will whimper a bit, but that’s all you get.

PF2E?

I’ve only played PF1E and you can definitely make some broken stuff, but that’s kinda the fun part of PF1E. If you take fucking sacred geometry you suck, though. And nobody wants to get out the flow chart for grappling.

I never said anything even vaguely approaching that?

What do you even mean by “told me from the beginning what he wants to do”? If I’m prepping a fantasy campaign and one of my players tells me, “I’d kinda prefer we do something sci-fi” then I have no obligation to change my entire campaign because a player isn’t happy with it. I might still do it, if I felt interested in running that and the rest of the table does too, but imo I’m well within my rights to tell him no.

If you mean that he wants a plotline of his own then I’d do my best to accommodate that, assuming it doesn’t clash with the rest of the campaign horribly. If it does, then I’d just say that and offer alternatives if I can think of any. If I can’t, then of course he can still play if he’d like.

I hate this take a lot, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t care if his game is so on rails that it’s set on the fucking orient express. As long as the players are having fun with the game, and the GM is having fun with the game… that’s a good GM.

Ime, players are entirely willing to accept an extremely short session just so I can prep and set back up after they throw me a massive curveball. If you’re capable of doing it on the fly, that’s great, but I’m not and my players usually understand.

Had a twelve minute session once because I forgot I gave the party a foldable boat like three months ago on a whim, and they used it to skip the next ~3 sessions of content. I had an entire thing setup where they’d help a dwarfhold hunt a dragon, and had started on some city-based intrigue in the next area.

I just leveled with them that I had not even slightly expected this session to go this way and had nothing prepped so we’d stop early and pick it up next time.

Hello, I’m an American and I’m probably as shy and sociall awkward as you lol.

You could add an SSD specifically to serve as a pagefile location and nothing else, in which case you could just get a small cheap one (a 32GB SSD would be more than enough for 16GB of RAM)

Honestly, assuming OP isn’t somewhere that the market for PC parts is extremely wonky compared to the US, if you’re going to get an SSD you might as well go ahead and get one big enough to serve as a boot drive. A 256gb SATA SSD is ~$20, and should be fine for that purpose. It probably won’t have DRAM at that price point, but realistically it’s not really necessary and still going to be a night and day upgrade over an HDD.

Oh, shit, apparently I’m nearly as bad. I didn’t realize that was offensive(assuming google even found the right word lol). I absolutely see how it is after thinking about it, though. Thankfully I don’t think I’ve ever actually called anyone that.

Did he not know it was a slur? Was he ignorant, or just plain awful is what I’m wondering?

It’s gotta be a joke, right? I assumed it was a joke. Not Kanye, to be clear, he was probably entirely serious.

There’s nothing wrong with running a game explicitly intended to have a chance to kill PCs, as long as everyone is aware of that ahead of time.

Okay, so: is it because you reasonably expect that from your friend? Have they given you reason to expect these things? Or is it more just an anxiety thing? Like, you know it’s not a reasonable fear, but your brain still won’t let go?

If A: no, that’s not normal and he’s hella toxic. Especially the online anonymity thing- what the fuck?

If B: no, that’s not exactly normal but anxiety is a bitch sometimes.

They do, but they also might not.

The part of your skin that actually causes your fingerprint is relatively deep into your skin. So it’d need to be a pretty serious injury to permanently change your fingerprint at all.

You don’t need to be wired in order to self host things? It’s better, ofc, but far from required. You can just do it via wifi.

My experience with self hosting begins and ends with video game servers and jellyfin, though, so maybe I’m wrong here.

Okay I wasn’t particularly interested until I read this comment. What a combo lmao

Is everyone just blatantly lying then? Because according to a google search, Elon Musk is worth 300+B, and Larry Fink is worth… 1.2B.

Are you taking the 10 Trillion number from

Founded in 1988, initially as an enterprise risk management and fixed income institutional asset manager, BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, with US$11.5 trillion in assets under management as of 2024.

Because “assets under management” and “money that Larry Fink personally has” aren’t the same thing.

Or is this some conspiracy theory shit?

The dev refuses to let the anti cheat work on Linux.

Frustratingly, that would also mean dropping at least one of my favorite games rn.

I’m very much considering dual booting defaulting to Linux whenever Win10 support is properly dropped.

… I don’t know, is that why they tried to remove him? Are all the other skaters in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games notable in some way that he isn’t?

I’m not trying to argue some point, I just know basically nothing about this and I’m curious.
