Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

  • Sex

    Turns out I’m asexual.

    The spicy part is try being asexual yet HOPELESSLY romantic

    But aside from THAT – Brand name clothing.

    Most of it doesn’t even look good

    There was a time the rich dressed decadently, that was conspicuous consumption, but at least it looked pretty and shiny in pictures. Nowadays rich people be buying clothes that look exactly, completely indistinguishable from the discount shop made-in-china artificial-fabric rags everyone else is wearing, but which have a logo printed on them. And that logo is what makes it expensive.








  • Okay but as long as we are complaining about shit we see on RPG forums

    “I wish I could do $thing in DnD”

    $otherSystem has a very cool subsystem for $thing

    “Omg how dare you”

    Had this conversation enough times to make it a pet peeve of mine

    Anyway the only thing about 5e that does suck is Wizards of the Coast. Otherwise it’s fine. It’s just fine. You can have fun with it.

    I’m more of a Pathfinder 2e guy tho.

    (And pf2 is basically a more advanced take on what 5e was doing so…)





  • Thanks, I was going to post a very similar rant.

    The “just works” argument IS a valid one and they would have a point – IF Gnome’s defaults were in any way sensible. They aren’t. The entire workflow is a nightmare. (I made the apple comparison – Well, uhh… MacOS is also a walled garden that doesn’t let you change shit, but at least it’s got very decent defaults)

    Gnome’s file manager didn’t let you type in FOLDER ADDRESSES until a few months ago, ffs. And sure you could, even then, use an alternative file manager.

    … But at that point you are fucking with the premise of “just works”, because you will need to use non-default stuff.
