happy to pay some money for mobility in exchange for all that.

Most of the costs are probably externalized and not paid for by you

Also good neighbors vs bad neighbors isn't intrinsic to city vs country. You could easily have a neighbor out there that shoots guns unsafely , or feeds bears, or whatever. I had a whole DND crew here in the city that we could walk to each other's places.

But this is kind of getting off the topic of cars aren't the freedom people say they are.

Does New York City and its transit systems not exist in your world?

I realized this very quickly when I moved to the city. No longer had to worry about parking, gas, insurance, how to get home when i'm tired or drunk. It's pretty great.

Poe's law is dead and I can't tell if this is a joke.

No one I know wants to go into the office just-because, but they also don't want to starve. When the choice is yield or die, it's not much of a choice.

I really dislike that the incompetent dolts who can't adapt to the internet are dragging everyone else down. I don't want to be in an uncomfortable office, losing hours a day to a commute, so someone can walk up to me and say "Hey" instead of using slack.

You know what works stupidly well? Get the biggest shield in the game, and a poke weapon.

You can poke through Malenia's self-heal. It takes a little longer than dodging, but it's far safer.

Consort Radahn with a big shield is a joke. Took 4 minutes, two tries. The first try failed because I didn't see where he was coming from when he did his nuclear sky bomb attack.

Whatever it is, most people don't engage with it.

Not by going directly for a moonshot at the presidency. You spend years getting people involved in local politics, then work your way up. State and local governments have power, even if it's "boring".

That or a coup or other violent, abrupt, wildcards.

I played Arcanum so much. Definitely better in turn based mode.

 

Not sure if this community is dead, but here we are!

I kind of stopped playing new versions around .28 because I really disliked the opportunity attacks mechanism, but I thought I'd give .32 a try. The new shapeshifter things look cool, but in fussing with it a bit it's harder than I expected.

But now the tournament is live! Who's playing?

https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.32/

I currently have one win with ye olde MiBe. Got lucky with good armor early on, and then cruised to a 3 rune (shoals + snake + vaults) win.

There was one dicey moment in the lungs where I went around the corner to reveal 4 orbs of fire, some draconians, and a lightning golem all waiting for me. Hasted + Fog'd my way the hell out there.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
