Preach.

It is the same argument they used to gatekeep souls games whenever someone suggested to add an easy mode for those who want to play the game but lack the skill to do so.

The intent of the developer is a lot less important than the experience of the player.

It is like a chef deciding how you are allowed to eat your steak.

How many elves did you test that hypothesis on?

How long till they are soft enough to eat?

Skate is free to play, nothing was bought.

Apparently the cosmetic microtransactions didn’t make enough money. So now they are putting locations behind a paywall.

Nobody purchased Skate, it is free to play.

They just promised not to lock locations behind a paywall, which the executives decided to change.

Good, then all those little kids can move and stay off the other gaming communities.

Are you too poor to get a laptop where you can keep everything plugged in?

How about headset, flash drive, extra monitors, Ethernet cable, charging cable, phone charging/data transfer, controller, and even a better webcam and microphone.

You are looking for solutions on a problem that shouldn’t even exist in such an expensive device.

Even a dongle is just a workaround.

Great, you mean exactly like everyone else does while still having all those ports as well?

I have about as many USB-C ports as a Mac, and they also do everything.

But I also have on top of that: HDMI, Ethernet, audio jack and 2x USB-A

On a laptop that is 1/3th the price of the cheapest Mac.

Terraria of course!

Even aside from the objectively bad charging port, the shape is also awful and unergonomic. And next to a touch-based scrollwheel, it also has no right-click.

Anyone with enough money can order assassination of anyone on any foreign soil. That isn’t really an argument.

Does he also have a giant tumor like his dad did?

Your wish is granted.

But you can only view the source code through an LLM

Yeah, a DM shouldn’t write a story. The story gets written at the table.

A DM should write a scenario, the concept of a story. With many different NPC, locations, and lore. That can all be moved freely around and only get locked into existence when told during a game.

I call them information blocks. And even though you prepared an NPC block to be at a specific location block. The NPC can be moved to where the players are if the story calls for it. Same with lore blocks, especially if it is something important the players need to know in order to progress. The same lore can be said by any NPC, even if you prepared it to be told by a specific one. Having individual information blocks that switch around gives the players more agency and makes the story more fluently.

The movie may be that old, but that doesn’t say anything about the meme.

This meme also isn’t +100 years old:

If the majority of Linux users had your mentality, we would have passed “the year of Linux” a decade ago.

Would you say Linux Mint is … refreshing?
