Most people want wealth because it means they won’t need to think at how to survive the next month.

This article is wrong and lying. Garbage piece of propaganda.

Considering general relativity exists, it’s fitting that each place has its timezone.

Clearly we don’t play the same kind of game. In my game, murder hobos are putting themselves at risk of death. And the old man and his canary is actually a safe encounter to through at them. Because the of the character itself, and because of the difference of power.

Again, you’re missing the point of what is taught. You’re hell bent on the unfairness and people acting like children. I play with adults. Setting the tone of the game is important to do in game.

This encounter is not a punishment. It is a lesson and a demonstration and an opportunity. It shows how big the game can become. It shows the kind of enemies they can make. It shows that the story can go any way they like, but they should not be stupid about it.

The problem with murder hobo is not that they are evil. It is that they are stupid. Stupidity should be a fatal mistake for the game stay interesting.

Lol how long will you reference games that have nothing to do with ttrpg? And then I would be the one focusing on the wrong thing?

Do you understand that the dm is fundamentally unable to cheat?

Do you understand that the dm can make things difficult just as much as he can make them easy?

Do you really expect that the player should never face anything they can’t murder?

You should really try to understand what game you’re playing. Ttrpg are not competitive games, so your comparisons with competitive games are missing the point entirely.

I’ll state bluntly : if you consider the game as a competitive game, you are a problem player.

It is a good thing to show the players that the game is not a competition because as a dm you are the one to decide how hard it will be.

The game cannot be competitive. Do you get that?

You know what? You’re the only one here thinking that this encounter is meant to end in a tpk. Which tells a lot about the kind of person you are.

Your comparison is simply stupid. Deal with it. You don’t understand the point I’m making and you’re crying like an entitled player would if he couldn’t do anything he like at the expense of everyone else. What am I supposed to tell you? You’re defending a spoiled kid making a mess here and using dumb comparisons to make your point.

This encounter can serve as a narrative tool to put the campaign back on track. It gives the characters an opportunity to change. If you can only see that as a punishment you have the maturity of a child.

Ok, 3 things.

First, who ever said that this encounter was ever meant to end in a tpk? Not me. Not anyone I read mentioning this encounter. Bahamut is a benevolent god, not a moronic asshole like murder hobos.

Second, murder hobos are not playing to win, they’re playing moronic assholes in a power fantasy. But anyway, both murder hobo and playing to win make problem players.

Third and finally, this encounter is a narrative tool that can take a campaign back on track. A discussion alone doesn’t have this power, because the characters changing their behaviour suddenly would break the story.

Because you’re not hurting people but imaginary characters that have been exceptionally evil.

If you can’t see the difference you’re a complete idiot. Do you know what a story is? What a game is? What morale is?

The dm can cheat to win yes. That is also the lesson. Which means trying to beat the game is a hopeless goal. And if you think this is the game, you’re gravely mistaken.

The comparison to flogging is simply dumb. It’s completely irrelevant.

Now you can be a dumb player and refuse to learn anything from this encounter. It can spark a discussion then.

It’s called teaching a lesson. Murder hobos do not respect the game. By giving them this encounter, they will get down from their high horses learning that sometimes things are not what they look like and they should be more careful and smart about what they’re doing.

The corrollary is that pushing Linux usage rate won’t happen through installer improvements but through politics and having access to preinstalled Linux.

That’s not most people no. That’s a tiny number of people.

Don’t get me wrong. Making the installation easier is a good thing. But thinking it will change anything to the usage rate of Linux is naive.

Most people do not install any OS and they will never do. Ever.

Installing Linux is not hard already. The single barrier is partitioning. Well, at least when everything works. Secure boot is also a barrier, as are bios configured to NOT boot on a USB key by default. Or Windows with its fast boot making accessing the bios and booting on devices harder.

If you want to consider people who want to try to install Linux without experience, there are a dozen of barriers, and the installer is not the biggest one, far from it.

The installation is irrelevant to the use of Linux. The vast majority of people never installed Windows. And they never will.

It’s funny to think that you need communism for this kind of figure to mean anything.

If you deny that this meme is disdainful of the “there is a loneliness epidemic” statement, then you’re in bad faith.

Even if what you’re saying is logically true, that’s not the truth people see, as this thread demonstrates. Which means you’re in bad faith here.

If you had any education in logic, A => B => C means something.

When you do this logical development, it means C is the consequence of A.

The même format also implies that C is a stupid assertion, because it’s associated with the clown figure. It says that the existence of a loneliness epidemic is a stupid proposition.

This is denying reality. And this is mocking the people who suffer from loneliness.

The biggest problem is not even the link between incels and loneliness epidemic. It is the denial of the problem. This is litteraly akin to conspiracy theories.

And the progression means thatl only incels come to this conclusion. Which is where it is insulting to many men who aren’t incels.

Except it makes the link with loneliness, which has nothing to do with incels. By doing so, this kind of post litteraly says that alllonely men are like the worst incels.

It is insulting. And it is directly feeding the narrative of the fascists that says that feminists are mere anti-men instead of pro-equality.

This même is a blend of arrogance, ignorance, disdain and malice. Even the fascist are rarely doing so bad.

Yet another idiot who can’t co’'ect two braincells.

Tell me, don’ t you feel like a hypocrite to blame the fascists from disdaining empathy while you are incapable of showing any either?
