Found this applies nicely to my career. Routineish work? Drag my feet and fight myself to do anything. Fixing problems (bigger the better)? Everybody stand back, I got it.

Whole damn system failed due to a database failure that propagated to our secondary host too. Hacked our backup to usable in a day (meeting most requirements, including transition requirements) with a path forward for total system recovery on the main system.

Documentation on any of that though, that was a .. struggle.

You keep doing that to older DnD players too, except you drop hints that the enemies are in a cult that has been giving them power and when the wizard does fireball them, the wizard gets hit by a dozen hellish rebukes from all the young warlocks they just hit.

I think its more the first line of defense, they are not there to kill, they are there to basically state I don't want you here without provoking a lethal response from whoever is encroaching on them. It causes a lot less death of their males since they are known that they are not a threat, reducing the overall attrition of them over time and making life easier on the hive. The females with the stingers come out if something is a real threat, ie something messes with the hive or queen.

Honestly, kinda reminds me of British (and other non-militarized) police. Don't send guns to every problem as most can be solved without it and some are made worse by their presence.

I have issue with almost all of your points.

  • Dex & wisdom would be the important stats for sailors IMO (i am not saying strength and con are useless, but just not as important, they would be 3rd and 4th IMO).
  • Darkvision wouldn't do a damn thing, its range would barely get off the side of the boat.
  • Poison resistance is not disease resistance.
  • Some spoiled food would be poison, but some would also be disease (depends on how it spoiled and the food).
  • In order for short stature to be relevant to ship design, they would need a completely custom designed ship tailor made for them, which would have benifits but sounds unlikely for what pirates would be sailing. (That being said, a dwarven merchant ship designed speciifcally for their stature would be a massive pain for normal height characters to battle on)
  • lower speed means they swim slower too which means going overboard is even worse.

EDIT: dwarven submarines!

  • short stature actually hugely relevant as submarines are notoriously cramped
  • darkvision means no need for lights in the sub, beneficial for multiple (admittedly somewhat minor) reasons.
  • honestly no clue what stats would be important for a sub, no argument here
  • toxic gasses less of a problem thanks to poison resistance
  • Dont even need to go to the surface, a fully underwater submarine port could be connected to existing dwarven settlements near the ocean with the correct design and planning.
  • Also benefits from legendary dwarven engineering.

IRL letal damage is rarely immediately lethal, which is a fact not translated well into the game. The fact he went to the ER is a good sign that it very easily could have lead to death for someone without medical aid.

Also by biting the arm instead of say, the neck, is pretty clear it was a declared non-lethal attack

"Oathbreakers" are evil, by definition, "oathbreakers" are not. A oath of conquest paladin that broke their oath for good reasons, would be more suited for a oath of redemption.

Top comment on the lemmy world this was cross posted with points out among other things that the app isn't a system app and doesn't otherwise have permissions to access most of what is claimed here, and from a cursory glance at the app on my phone that claim looks correct. is there something I'm missing or is this post just wrong?

Even for games only released for Windows, with proton most of them work, its games with hardware tied intrusive DRM that are most of the ones that have any issue, and honestly, I have no issue boycotting that shit

Just checked the app on my phone, 0 bites used, I don't really think they get any live data from it.

Just for clarification, she died in the movie from "skin suffocation", not irl.

I've played 2 campaigns that went from 1 to 20, both became a chore late game just trying to keep track of all the items and threads. IMO, a game should stay bound to 2 tiers at most (the tiers being 1-4, 5-10, 11-16, and 17-20), going from peasant to world ender is just too much baggage. Maybe 3 tiers if you do want a complex and difficult to manage, but still possible to manage end game.

Extra credit here being that you are a shit load more likely to actually complete the story you want to tell

TBH, 5e hates secret roles. (yes, i know this is not a 5e specific post, just a personal gripe)

There are way too many abilities that trigger on a failed roll or can be used after a roll that this kind of play style straight up conflicts with.

One of the worst ones for this kind of thing is the soulknife rogue's Psi-bolstered knack (that they get at level 3), with both triggers explicitly on a failed roll and refunds if the extra dice if it doesnt make it succeed so you cant even include mystery if the reroll made it a success.

The problem is really that space is an argument separator, so to safely handle filenames with spaces you need to handle them special, either by escaping them, quoting the entire thing. This means that the filename with spaces can't be just copy pasted wherever you want, you have handle them special. It adds complications that are resolved by just using a separator that isnt used for other things, like underscore, or dash. Dot I also don't like as much as it's used as a separator for extensions, but that's a far easier problem to handle by just ignoring all but the last dot, leaving only one really bad edge case (a file that does not have an extension, that uses dot separator in its filename having the filesystem imply a wrong extension.

I think the intent is to show untrained instinctual responses, not learned responses, I'm not sure though some of this chart I find odd, still parsing it to figure out what
