not being trolled by lemmy d list celebrities, and then, i don’t know, maybe i’ll smoke a joint.

when society turns on the people with a conscience, the people with a conscience should turn on society. stop playing nice.

it’s a war and all is fair. if you expect your opponent to play nice, you’re naive. we know they’re going to cheat to win. what are WE going to do about it?

how very interesting indeed!

are you trying to bait me into getting banned? i’m on your side, genius. i’m just not a weak do-nothing like some of you.

nah. i will always use my voice to offer true solutions. countless lives are at stake. we should have done the right thing years ago.

use your imagination

because we allow the 30-40% who will vote for him to exist. they won’t change their minds. there’s only one solution.

people need to get over the israel/palestine thing. they’re going to kill each other. there’s nothing you can do about it. your precious conscience is not the most important thing in the world. if you get bogged down on one issue, you will miss the bigger issue.

trump is back to leading in the polls, folks. pull your heads out of your asses.

yes. there are a few references in it that people should get. all the scenes before joe leaves for the volcano are meme-worthy. me and a buddy still laugh about this scene:

“dingy!”

yeah, i’m not into the theater kids style of D&D either, but i do like immersive RP balanced with combat and problem solving.

basically 2e style: a fantasy simulator with a lot of gritty mechanics, where the party keeps it mostly serious, and the GM uses historical inspiration to make a culturally and mythologically balanced world that is part sandbox, part scripted, medium magic, and very immersive - a world that is not centered around the players, a world where PC death is a real risk and the players have to actually be engaged to survive.

like, serious D&D shit.

walk away, casual observer. you do not want to climb the slope to this grognard’s mighty bastions. surely, you will be defeated.

the right way to play dungeons and dragons

between work colleagues, sure, but if it’s a government office or just a business, there’s no way i’m going through all the channels online. i’ve had many cases where a bureaucracy would have crushed my request, but because i got through to a living being, the matter was cleared up in minutes.

i’m neurodivergent too. did you know that you can hear a person smiling in a phone call? make connections with people now while the world will still let you. it only gets darker if you folks feed that isolationist anxiety.

i don’t have anxiety. i have every reason to have anxiety. i was an only child in a terrible school system with hyper religious parents at a time when the world was becoming more and more progressive, but you know what? i reached out to the people who i admired and made a human connection with them and i got over it, just like almost anyone else can.

and i’m a better person for it. if i had stayed in that shell, i probably would be severely depressed or dead by now.

i love how this immediately became about tech support, as if that’s the only thing that humans need to communicate about. ya’ll seem more alien to me with each passing day.
