  • My problem with this discussion is when were discussing religion, are we really discussing ALL religion or simply abrahamic religions? Because it feels like when people in leftist spaces talk about religion, theyre only really talking about the religions in western culture, not really anything present in the non anglo sphere of the world.



  • I feel like I'm going to explode due to stress. Just earlier this month I lost my job after a manager lied and said I was sleeping at work and HR just took his word for it, so now I'm out of a job and my family's pressuring me to find something else and move out in a short amount of time. Problem is, rent in my city has skyrocketed (its almost impossible to find somewhere below $1,000 a month) and minimum wage is $12 and hour. I can always move to a different city, but the idea of moving to a new house and finding a new job in a new city has me losing my hair.

    I don't really have a point with all this, I'm just stressed as hell and need to vent.

    The new sorcerer subclasses are actually the perfect power level for sorcerer subclasses, they just should have brought the old ones up to par with it. I'm not exactly sure why.

    Nothing super duper broken like the hexblade was, but some of the weirder choices ive seen are

    -Removing shield from the armorer spell list and fireball from the wildfire druid spell list

    -making favored foe use concentration (like half of the rangers spell list is concentration already, they don't need more)

    -taking away all forms of spell versatility from UA, and instead giving cantrip versatility to wizards, the one class that did NOT need to become more versatile

    -giving the two new sorcerer subclasses expanded spell lists, but not giving any of the older subclasses expanded spell lists, making the old ones weaker than the new

    A few other random issues being the lack of any new exclusive spells for the artificer or sorcerer, the two classes with the least amount of unique spells, very few class unique magic items (and the majority of the ones there are only for wizard), and the whole battlemaster build section being incredibly lazy and poorly written (at least two of the 'builds' they had as examples on there had weapon master as a suggested feat, a feat that is completely worthless on FIGHTER).

    Also don't feel bad about not knowing. Its still fun to discuss this stuff with people.

    I just got a pdf of the book a few days ago. I liked some parts, but I couldn't help but feel like some parts were sloppy, and some choices for the class variant features were super questionable.

    (All this stuff should be available on 5e.tools btw, if anyone wants the new stuff without shelling out a shit ton of dough).

    As someone whos experience with tabletop games is 5e. pf2e, and a little shadowrun, its fine. How good it is depends on what you want from a system. From what I can tell they've streamlined quite a bit from old systems and meshed concepts from 3e and 4e, but certain aspects are really dumbed down to a bad degree.

    For example, theres not really much you can do in the way of 'builds' in 5e. You choose a class, race, and subclass (at level 3 for most classes), but after that you only really get one ability score increase every 4 class levels, and if you want feats you have to trade your ASI for it, meaning a lot of classes play pretty much the same.

    Martial classes are also pretty meh, not getting to do much in combat other than doing a basic attack, and most weapons being exactly the same except for damage type (and damage type barely matters in 5th edition, which is a pretty bad problem).

    All my bitching aside, 5e is the most popular tabletop system atm, meaning its the easiest ones to find games for, and because character creation is so simple it only takes about 4 minutes to make something usable for a campaign, so there are some upsides.

    Similar to the video, I used to open up tf2 maps and explore them by myself, and I can tell you they are creepy. Something about the ambiance when theres no sounds of explosions or shooting going on is just really unnerving.






  • There was a shit ton of racism after Hillary lost too, with libs saying that the BLM movement and transgender people drove right wing voters away from the democratic party to vote for Trump, effectively blaming minorities for the liberals own failures.

    I only disagree because I don't see Biden being able to hold the country together for the next 4 years, even if we assume he wins overwhelmingly and Trump actually stands down from the presidency.
