What’s with atlatls trending atm, is there some spear throwing shit going on on TikTok or something?

Did you read the article?

Is this really all you took away from this article? The point of the article isn’t at all “Warhammer is fascist”, it’s a nuanced look at how the presentation and consumption of the product has evolved over time.

Did you read the article? It explicitly discusses this point and how the presentation of it has changed over time.

It touches on how anime influences real-life travel.

I mean it’s not a big deal, but that definitely doesn’t fall under the concept of world building, imo.

I admit I only read the summary but, despite having it in the title, this doesn’t seem relevant to this sub? Am I missing something?

For it to make any sense you really need to think through the timeline of both things and how they interact.

When were they learned and what did that process look like? If magic is just some inherent force that people can use innately, did that remove the motivation to study science? Or at least to find applied uses for science, for things that magic can already do?

What is the relative effort of achieving things with magic vs science (including the accumulated effort of discovering and researching how to do it)? Nobody is going to spend the time and money to build a scientific solution if someone can just wave their hand and achieve the same goal.

And the first questions is: how does science explain magic? What are the rules for magic, energy sources, limitations, etc

To make it interesting I think you need to have inherent limitations in magic that creates a niche for science, things that magic can’t do or that is very costly for magic to do. And then once you have a reason for science to be invested in, you have to consider the ways that magic can enhance the pursuit of science. You don’t need to invent microscopes if you can use magic to see tiny objects.

And then you have to consider the combinations of magic and science. What does warfare look like if you can use magic to teleport a nuclear warhead anywhere in the world? What does space exploration look like if you can use magic to create oxygen?

To do it with any kind of facade of realism is extremely complex, but presents a lot of opportunities for interesting and unique worldbuilding.

How simple minded do you have to be to develop a fetish just because the internet told you to.

Not sure if it got nerfed, I haven’t played in a while. The throwing hammer didn’t have great range but usually enough to throw it from outside of an enemy’s aggro range. And the best thing about it was that with a fully charged throw it would knock down a lot of enemies, it was amazing to initiate combat with a knockdown from range and then run in and smash them.

I ran dual greathammers with this and the smith’s hammer that you can throw. One of the most fun builds I’ve ever played, insane damage and surprisingly fast for such a heavy build.

Octopodes.

This reads like it was written by a not very good AI, wtf.

I’ve been a programmer for decades and I still sometimes look at code I wrote 6 months ago like what the fuck was I thinking. Code is as much art as science.

These two having any kind of conversation would be fucking hilarious. Absolute opposite ends of the spectrum of narcisstic assholes, they would both go insane trying to out alpha each other while being completely unable to communicate in any way that made sense to each other.

Look up specifc Linux compatibility tests for the models, I vaguely remember seeing that at least some Legion versions have very bad compatibility.

Linux, bro.

“I bomb atomically, Socrates’ philosophies and hypotheses can’t define how I be dropping these mockeries”

Gamify this stuff. Instead of a single silent alarm causing the players to get ambushed, have a threat level that you’re tracking that requires multiple triggers to end up in the worst case scenario. Give players in-game feedback that this is happening (they notice there’s a higher frequency of patrols, overhear guards getting new orders, etc). Give players mechanisms to reduce the threat level (waiting until things cool down, hacking security systems, stealth takedown of guards, etc).

As much as it is tempting to do pure simulation in a realistic way, it doesn’t always make for a fun game. Fun almost always comes from interesting and meaningful decisions for the players. Having invisible triggers going off behind the scenes that the players will never know about is only interesting for the GM.

WUN PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Soulseek is the best option I’ve found for this: https://www.slsknet.org/news/node/1

It’s an old style file sharing app, like Napster and Limewire, but is focused on underground music. I’ve been using it for years and had no problems with spyware or anything like that.
