Cass🇨🇦 Well, the breech probably happened because Google dropped all investment in it. So, it’s all sort of the same thing, I’m sure.

theminions@lemmy.world The prone stuff also just seems unbelievable. Jabbing someone with your off-hand isn’t going to knock anyone over. It’s not a running body check against someone who isn’t bracing.

I see this all of the time in the PF2r subreddit. Everyone wants to know why it’s so hard to push enemies around or knock them over, as if they’re pro-wrestlers desperate to oversell for you for a paycheque, and not creatures who are opposing your attempts to do those things.

Annelies Kamran, Ph.D. The funky treehhouse comes from trying to build distributed social media in a way that prioritizes the distributed element. Too much of the focus has been on emulating centralized systems, making the federation element seem like a meaningless and superfluous complication of something else the big platforms have seemingly figured out.

We need to make this a place that has a raison d’etra other than “we didn’t go to BlueSky” or “too edgy for Reddit”. That reason is smaller, more focused communities where you can actually talk to real, recognizable people, while also not missing out on the silly drama of the wider network.

wendyz Reddit has a real problem with being built around oversized, hyperactive spaces, and sround tyrany of the majority thanks to their up/downvote mechanics. This resulte in a space where being early to a discussion and then dunking on someone or on some unpopular strawman gets you not just attention, but also a metacurrency that grants you access to more “discerning” spaces.

When communities become too big, thy just become voids to scream into, because no one is reading the comments. They’re just trying to get noticed. That turns them into deeply toxiv plates that turn on anyone trying to have an actual discussion about things.

__Miguel_ Yes, their CEO’s behaviour has been a significant red flag, and I think we’re going to continue finding out that they’ve been lying for years as they’ve moved to comply in advance on this wave of anti-privacy bills being tossed around the world.

affiliate@lemmy.world I have a masters degree in physics, and I just straight up don’t do mental math, and never have. Math is for pencils and notepads. And I love pencils and notepads!

I haven’t actually run any APs, but I have Season of Ghosts and Wardens of Wildwood, which I’ve used to scavenge things from. Season of Ghosts, from what I’ve seen, is really quite good. Wildwood had less that I was interested in pilfering, but it seemed much better than people have said.

MyBrainHurts The AL East consists of the Blue Jays, who even on years where they have not been competitive in the division have been potentially good enough to win other divisions, the Yankees and Redsox, two very old teams from major US markets with shit tons of money, the Rays, who are possibly the most efficient team in all of professional sports when it comes to Wins/Dollar, and Baltimore, who are also sometimes a problem.

Most years, if you were to spread those teams out around the league, 4 out of 5 of them would make the playoffs. Meanwhile, there are divisions in baseball that if their leaders were in the AL East, they’d be in the basement.

It’s an absolutely crazy alignment.

When it comes to actually winning in the post season, differences between teams matters. That’s really where the good vs bad teams really stand out. During the course of the season, though? There are 162 game. Getting into the playoffs is very often just about being marginally better than whoever you’re playing all season long, not about being crazy dominant powerhouses.

Unless you’re the current Dodgers team, which has like a half-billion dollar payroll. They truly are juggernauts.
