I grew up on the east coast eating fried bologna with peas and mashed potatoes. I have a very soft spot for bologna with peas and mashed potatoes.
I suddenly know what cultural appropriation feels like!

Geek Native It is nice that we have a space here where everything isn’t bots.
the broader hobby doesn’t value analysis
You mean looking up RPGBOT and selecting all of the blue options isn’t rigorous study?
dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org Oh, no, I mean they literally told me “I thought this was going to be like being characters in a book, where there’s a clear plot we’re following. Can you make it more like that?” And so I did.
Then they found The Thing during one of the sessions I was running while trying to actually structure things in the background. It was something I didn’t think was significant, but I probably should have seen it coming.
It… was not part of the restructuring work I was doing. It was part of the holding pattern “random bullshit” I was throwing at them for a few weeks.
Anyway, the campaign is about that now.
dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.org This is why I did not plan long term plots for my family game, and then the chaos monkeys decided they wanted one.
So I put one together.
They ignored it.
osanna@lemmy.vg There’s a vast, vast gulf between “life is not imbued with inherent meaning” and “I just don’t see the point in anything”. Nihilism, as a world view, isn’t generally crippling. It just boils down to “this is what this is, and nothing more”.
You don’t sound like a nihilist, you sound deeply depressed. You can be a nihilist and depressed, but what you’re expression sounds much more like depression rather than nihilism.
Also worlds should be big. The fact that one thing happened three hundred years ago two continents over might not be known to even a handful of folks from million strong ancestry that doesn’t live there.
This. We can’t even get people today, with instant global communication, to pay attention to things that are going on a few cities over, let alone on the other side of the globe. People focus on the problems they have, not the events going on outside their own bubbles.
sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz That’s just the Level 83 Bristle Boar. Unfortunately, Archives of Nethys believes it’s only a Level 3 monster.
this is to protect the children from big tech!"
It’s almost as if the people doing the thing that people need to be protected from should be forced to stop doing that thing, rather than the apparent victims having to be the ones restrained and restricted.
Besides, it’s not like the things that are harmful to children are somehow magically not harmful to adults. If big tech is hurting us, and they’re in an oligopoly position such that we can’t really avoid them, then arguments about adults getting to be free to make choices don’t really hold up. So… Burn them all.
Not that any of this is to protect people, children or otherwise.
