      treat necromancer could also be like someone obsessed with penny dreadfuls or 1920s pulp magazines but in an even weirder non-ironic way

      "yo, you have gotta watch my favorite movie. It's from 1913, it's called The Lovely Horse Gallop."

    Treat Monk:

    • Only consumes obscure and esoteric media.
    • Sounds cool in principle, but ends up with utterly insufferable takes on just about everything.
    • Brings up completely random comparisons which almost work, but not quite.

      Reminder (if you're in a hellhole where a VPN is needed for torrenting) to bind your network adapter in qbittorrent to your VPN so that in the event your VPN drops it doesn't automatically fail over into the host ("real") network interface and expose your ip for copyright claims.

      This is found under settings -> advanced -> network Interface.

      Also reminder that any game that you definitely legally own that only uses steamdrm can be played offline by using the Goldberg Steam emulator. Check the readme on that project page for more information/instructions.

        I just use private trackers, never bothered with a VPN and I've been torrenting since it was a thing.

          I really should spend some time to get into the better private trackers (MaM is the only one I've used).

          My advice still stands for anyone using public trackers.

            The private tracker ecosystem used to be so much more vibrant and easy to get into. Trackers like red with their weird interview shit are just about gatekeeping, that shit's for nerds. Cool trackers hand out freeleech tokens or don't give a shit about your ratio unless it's award winningly bad.

              I'm trying to remember which site had a hectic interview in IRC that I had to study for - maybe what.cd?

              one that is definitely 100% gone now.

              Also, can't wait to get banned from XWT again like i did 10 years ago because australian internet was so shit

                What.cd :sicko-wistful:

                I don't remember there being an interview for that one but it's been so long. I still have some what.cd vinyl stickers floating around somewhere.

        I followed a tutorial I found for Linux that tells my computer not to connect to anything except my VPN which I explicitly whitelisted.

        If it fails, I'll just go online and look up how to undo it :blob-no-thoughts:

      I may be a Treat Warlock, because that's what I do with Dune. "You think there's some bad gender politics in there? You ain't seen nothing yet!" :hypersus:

      That said, I know irony is dead and I have a slowly increasing allergy to the stuff. :agony-deep:

      I was going to go :guts-rage: at how the Treat Elf features sounded just as arrogant and smug as most versions of elves in most fantasy settings, but that latter part got me. Well done. :chefs-kiss:

    I vibe with treat cleric so hard but I'm gonna go with...

    Treat Druid

    • thinks if they make their own versions of treats, the treats won't be categorized as treats
    • fridge full of Mystery Jars(tm). Is it a propagated yeast culture for home brew? Is it a variant of simple syrup? Is it bokashi serum? Try it and find out!
    • starting to suspect they're an unironic posadist
    • constantly trying to get you to start growing your own weed
    • often shares the dubious products of making their own treats

    On second thought, I could add a "Treat Ranger."

    -Experienced and familiar with the treat's intersectional ecoystem with other treats.

    -Can maneuver safely through the favored treat's environment.

    -Has favored enemies within that treat's ecosystem.

    -Abrams is a charlatan and a hack that breaks almost every toy the studios hand to him.

      My first thought was that a M1 Abrams could easily break any toy, but that would describe Treat Barbarian.
