maybe, but for tryhard games you’d make a tryhard character anyway

That's the thing though

I have no idea how.

Since PF2 came out I got by just fine on making unique and fun but entirely unoptimised characters. So I never bothered learning what synergises with what to make a tryhard character.

I wouldn't know

I make all my choices based on sheer Rule of Cool-ness -- I start with a vibe and build for that.

BUT. None of my GMs are tryhards, so maybe if I brought my characters to a tryhard session they'd get wiped.

So was funk

And jazz

Basically there are three music genres named "fucking music" and we don't even bat an eye at that

I only do white collar crimes.

The stage musical version tried to no-homo him

.... By turning him into an attempted rapist instead.

I got a buddy that rolls randomly for all of those, only rerolling if they gets a combination they already used

It's Avon for Cis Dudes that make fun of Avon ladies

It's the Lottery for STEM Majors that make fun of grandpas that play the lottery.

I'd say 'it's religion for reddit atheists', but it's not. AI is religion for reddit atheists. "~~The rapture~~ AGI is right around the corner and when it comes around ~~God will save the righteous and punish the sinners~~ we will live in post-scarcity utopia. Just please ignore all the ~~priests committing horrid crimes on children~~ actual AI copmanies being owned by technocrats with fascist leanings who seem very horny for the idea of never having to pay a worker again. Until then we just need to ~~pray and proselytize very hard~~ keep investing on DA FUTER"

Sorry, the only illegal shit I do is free illegal shit (piracy)

WELL actually, it's not illegal here in Brazil. It's only a crime if you can be proven to be making money off of it. Downloading/copying is free game. :^)

You're not wrong

But keeping a government democratic and under check is a lot easier than trying to do the same to a series of corporations with anonymous investors calling the shots. Every corporation is in and of itself a dictatorship, dangerously close to an old noble clan, and we pretend we don't see it because it's been hypernormalised.

I'd much rather take my chances with a government, that can in fact respond to the will of the people from time to time, than with a corporation that only ever responds to money with exactly no exceptions ever.

 

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.
