  • There has to be a point, first. It’s just the old “go woke, go broke” nonsense. It’s the recycled conservative pearl clutching that has always come in when society starts to include those ‘nasty outsiders’. (Minorities.)

    Let’s say I entertain the possibility that there is a point.

    ->Baldur’s Gate 3. . Very ‘woke’. Amazing game.

    ->Concord Arguably ‘woke’. Crappy game.

    Let’s go with a game that flopped and wasn’t advertised as ‘inclusive’ Anthem.

    Let’s entertain this further to /really/ drive some nails into the coffin of this ‘point’.

    Celeste, a game heavy with queer tones to tell the story. Great game, very popular.

    So, that is why most people are walking by this with just a down vote. It’s all it really deserves, but I needed an easy win today. ~

    Hope life treats you well, Peace




  • A 17 year old and an 18 year old are only a year apart in maturity. It’s essentially comparable to a 17 and 16 year old. 2 years apart starts to get gray as far as morality goes. I’m against 16 and 19, but i can imagine extremely remote cases where it might be acceptable, but that is stretching my objective capabilities. 16 and 20 is too far. As you get closer to 25 and the brain is fully developed, the margins get wider.

    For instance, 18 and 22? That goes back to stretching it. 19 and 23? Back to morally Grey. 20 and 24? Fine.

    Ephebophelia definitions are meant to cast a wide net to protect as many people as possible. Just get over it for societies greater good.












  • Well, I’ve had to remove multiple people that used to just be right leaning for outright fascist statements and ideas in the last few months as they’ve deteriorated into hate speech and ethnic cleansing…so while I grew up conservative…yeah, I can’t support that shit.

    Democrats are a mild improvement at best but at least they aren’t constantly being approved of by the KKK and being touted by mass shooters.

    I’d like a proper left-leaning candidate, but with America’s history. They’ll end up assassinated.


  • Average peasant has 4 hp. Max average strike of a dagger does 4 damage. Even if it doesn’t strike a vital area, if you get a full, solid, clean hit with that blade, they dead.

    If you crit, i.e. hit a vital spot. They definitely dead and the 8inch blade might even take out a tougher boy.

    Damage is supposed to imply how effective the strike is on a hit. A 1 is a decent slice or puncture. Possible stitches, not guaranteed. 2 damage? That’s a good shank. Stitches recommended, gonna need some medical attention, picture getting stabbed in the hand or getting a slice across the arm or leg. 3 damage? That person is WOUNDED they won’t keep fighting if it isn’t life or death picture a meaty stab to the bicep or shoulder or side, nowhere critical, but you know you can’t take another hit. And 4 is death.



  • I could see this as being fake, but I believe it is equally likely to be real. 11th hour, slightly buzzed or worse, character is hanging by a thread and you want to stretch every rule to infinity and beyond? I have seen some ahem interesting…examples to “validate” a rules “extension”. Chainmail belts, blowdarts, contained arson, to name the standouts. Just biting someone hard enough to need stitches? Easily possible.


  • Late Stage Capitalism: Poverty is worse than anytime after slavery, wealthy people have never been wealthier, police brutality is at the highest since slavery, workers rights are trending back towards the second Industrial Revolution, politics recognizes corporations as people (thus robbing those who cannot compete with billions upon billions of dollars), civil rights are receding, basic necessities are becoming scarce, the environment itself is being poisoned for profit, etc.
