Conservatives often have very poor media literacy. They're often not smart or empathetic, because if they were then they wouldn't be conservative.

They're never satiated.

They're broken people and aren't addressing the actual problems.

I read a post about different communication styles, and this is "builder vs maintainer". https://www.haileymagee.com/blog/three-communication-differences

A builder will try to add to the conversation by adding their own experiences. A maintainer will not add their own, but will focus on the other person's.

A builder talking about something may feel like a maintainer isn't that interested because they're not adding anything.

A maintainer talking to a builder may feel annoyed because the builder keeps talking about themselves.

Less access to goods and services made it generally unpleasant.

Less access? what? What places are you comparing?

I live in a city and have never felt like I have less access than when I was in the car centered suburbs.

It was a good game. Not perfect, but very good.

Even the things I don't like are pretty minor.

  • upgrading weapons is kind of tedious. Once you know where the stones are or the bearings, it's kind of a chore to get them.
  • related: once you know where some high value items are, it's really tempting to just beeline for them from the start. But that's kind of tedious. I guess I could just pretend I don't know where the +5 stats talisman is.
  • a lot of side content isn't especially rewarding. The first time you play it's exciting because you don't know what you'll find. But later it's like "nah, this catacomb has a useless ash and boss I'll fight elsewhere". Which is a shame because most of the level design is great.

One of the reasons UBI games are trash

I parsed that as "universal basic income games" and was really confused. Ubisoft makes more sense

I feel like advertisers and capitalism are so gross, they've poisoned the whole concept.

I don't think there's anything innately wrong or violent to put up a flyer that says like "I'm starting a frisbee club. We're meeting Saturdays at Noon in the park". That's an ad. But it's a whole other beast from ads that track you. Or ads that try to make you feel insecure or inadequate.

Seems like the shared trait is "what's good for the ownership class, in the most selfish short term sense?"

I've always had trouble finding players, not DMs, but yeah could be.

I found the solo play of both Remnant games really unsatisfying. Slow pacing, uninteresting enemies. Is it much better with friends?

I feel like if you're going to get a group that shows up on the regular you might as well just play regular DND?

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
