I think about this image literally every other day since I saw it.

I knew this year’s awards were a joke the second I saw Starfield nominated for (and subsequently winning) ‘most innovative gameplay.’

Reminds me of a friend who plays with two custom spells on quickslots the first chance he gets to make them. The first he calls “JUMP GOD” and the second is “I HATE FALL DAMAGE” with 2-300 points in jump for 1s and a couple seconds of feather fall, respectively.

Who needs fast travel?

SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH!

It’s worth noting that “Encounter” doesn’t necessarily mean “Combat,” but the 6-8 encounter day is definitely bullshit. I think that framework is held over from very early releases, and if you want an idea of what a 6-8 encounter day would actually play like, Tyranny of Dragons’ “Flames over Greennest” module pushes players to exhaustion with that many encounters before a punishing boss fight that you’re intended to lose, and it’s definitely not fun, especially because those caster classes just do not have the slots to spare at level 1.

It’s clear how SR/LR resources evolved from daily/encounter powers in 4e, and that was a much more elegant way of handling resource expenditure, even if it did make all the classes play kind of the same.

Yeah, they got super lazy with magic item economy in 5e and justified it by saying “you can play this game without the expectation of magic items!” Like bullshit, you just didn’t want to deal with the hassle of pricing items correctly to the point that there are items in lower tiers that are functionally the same or better than items in higher tiers. (Ring of warmth vs ring of resistance is an egregious example, but if you look hard enough you’ll find more.)

Almost as dumb as Nintendo patenting the concept of a sanity meter and then not fucking doing anything with it since Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem.

D- Does he not know about puffed rice? You know, like, the ingredient in a box of… rice krispies?

I mean, okay, but how much of anything can get hit by lightning and not be a smoldering crater without proper grounding and such?

It’s an unfortunate fact of life, you’ll find sycophants no matter where you go.

Having all the existing connections probably doesn’t hurt either. If your daddy already knows the people who will make your budding enterprise a success, you have a lot lower chance of missing that dart toss. Not zero, but it’s like getting to take three big steps over the line.

Lol you think anyone gives 100% effort to their job? Not even the CEO cares that much.

Yeah but employers want to be the only party who can have their cake and eat it by giving one person the work of three people and calling them ‘cross-trained.’

Lol of course not, it’ll be Trump stickers this time.

Me over here with 40mbps taking days to download games.

Wait til they find out what microplastics do to us, if we last long enough to get the results on that shit.

To say nothing of how dangerous it is for pedestrians, especially children. Some of these vehicles have less forward visibility than, not even kidding, a fucking Abrams tank:

Hey everyone, look at the video essayist over here.

Why does money ruin absolutely fucking everything?

Because nobody who gets a sufficiently large amount of it to stop worrying about their finances is ever satisfied with that amount of money.
