Regular reminder that prices are not based on what something’s component pieces are worth, but what people are willing to pay.

You mean about the DST? I’m pretty sure Carney just used Trump as an excuse to axe it. There was opposition to it from Canadian tech companies, too.

A diagnosis just makes it slightly more awkward to call kids names or tell them they’re doing it wrong.

They liked calling kids names.

Or maybe we can just improve society a little bit, rather than advocate for eugenics. For once.

Canada is the occupier and oppressor of indigenous peoples, but there’s no reality where non-indigenous people here just leave, or hand the state over.

You have to consider the realistic array of possible outcomes, not the ones you jerk off to.

Nah. This is the sort of thing you get when different features are owned by different dev teams.

Didn’t spend all of their time arguing about idological purity online and actually pushed to achieve their agenda.

It’s really easy so long as you a) start at level 1 or 2 and avoid building out too far ahead, b) build to a character concept rather than try to optimize mechanically, c) avoid options released in adventures. Oh, and d), understand that retraining is actually baked into the rules.

Adventure character content is less rigorously tested, and mostly amounts to professional homebrew. It’s often super focused on the scenarios presented in the adventute and significantly less applicable in general.

Focusing on mechanical optimjzation rather than character concept often leads to madness, since feats are generally well placed within the same power bands (there are few stand out or trap options). For a crunvhy game, it’s often best played descriptively.

Characters become mechanically more complex every level or two, so starting at higher levels can be very overwhelming for new players. Building out a higher level character means choosing a lot of feats, and often the utility of those feats is only really understood through play.

The grey one was the earlier model. You gotta get in on those mid-generation upgrades!

“I moved neighbourhoods once, with an insurance payout. Why don’t these other people abandon their country?”

Truly, you are an icon of empathy and understanding.

It’s patently bizarre how a company whose only purpose is transferring money from account A to B can then arbitrarily decide what people are allowed to buy and sell.

This is the whole point of capitalism. Those who control the systems, control the people, and capital exists to ensure that the people do not control the systems.

When the wacko who thinks Autism makes you less than human is in control of the department of health and is openly making lists of people with diagnoses, maybe it’s more than “just a label”.

It’s also a target.

Nah. I fear uncertainty. I am 100% certain there’s going to be some social norm I don’t know and that everyone around me just groks.

Yup. This is purposeful mischaracterization from one of the biggest boosters of games-as-a-streaming-product. Ubisoft doesn’t want you to have the ability to play things at your whim, but exclusively at theirs. They sure as fuck don’t want you spending your time on something they sold you 10 years ago.

Don’t worry, this isn’t something they actually believe. They’re just trying to craft a narrative. I worked there for 5 years, and in that whole time nobody on the publishing end of the company said anything that even hinted at them giving a shit about fun.

I’m sure you’d have the same feelings if someone just took over your house and regularlly killed your family members. Right?

Sure it is. We actually have a long history of this, and our governing structure is set up to do exactly this.

We’re just not so used to seeing them blatantly mimic deeply umpopular Americans.

Everyone else hasn’t paid their bribes yet

When people start getting concerned over the number of immigrants only when those immigrants are identifiable by skin tone, it’s probably racist. No one seems to have given a flying fuck about the number of immigrants in low paying jobs when those immigrants were white.

Please. Do you think the grad student who is marking your essays has department printer access?
