PF2e is a lot more approachable than 1e. It’s a lot harder to truly botch a character in 2e, while preserving variety of options. The 3 action system is also much more intuitive than action types.

The ÷ sign isn’t used by “Americans”, it’s used by small children. As soon as you learn basic mathematical notation in your introductory algebra class, you’ve outgrown the use of that symbol.

It’s just an inconvenient one. It makes it a lot harder to jerk about how “complex” the situation is when there’s such an obvious villain. Everything Hamas has done, Netanyahu is an accomplice to.

Now that’s not entirely fair. Some are both.

Maybe if one side wasn’t an openly theocratic fascist party that wants women to be property and anyone who isn’t a straight white Christian to be dead, it would be easier to get along. I’m going to be hostile towards Republicans for the same reason I’d be hostile to someone pointing a gun at me.

Almost every AAA release has pulled the same trick for at least the last 10 years if not longer. Don’t announce the PC release until after the console release, that way some people buy the game twice.

Model collapse is likely to kill them in the medium term future. We’re rapidly reaching the point where an increasingly large majority of text on the internet, i.e. the training data of future LLMs, is itself generated by LLMs for content farms. For complicated reasons that I don’t fully understand, this kind of training data poisons the model.

It’s projection. They’re offended by “happy holidays” so they assume everyone else is equally offended by “merry Christmas”.

It’s like the horizon of ignorance in science. The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.

It’s open source, if there was a back door it would have been found years ago.

The ending of part 1 was literally killing a manifestation of the concept of being a remake. It’s a sequel to FF7R, in which the subtitle “Remake” was a red herring, not part 2 of a remake.

Money and time are separate costs, consuming time is not, in and of itself, something of value.

If Mexican food gives you the shits, you need to eat more fiber so your digestive system doesn’t immediately panic on contact with beans.

Don’t forget starvation, that’s a big one. Climate change hits your food supply before it hits you.

Even by fundamentalist/Young Earth types, it’s considered pretty extreme, but yes, literal belief in the firmament is a thing.

Bankruptcy.

Also, for those wondering about the inevitable followup question, a stop sign has to be placed by a local or state government to be enforceable, and is required to follow the exact standard specifications. Tickets have been thrown out due to stop signs being a slightly wrong shade of red, so blue or green are definitely out.

I think the difference is those are portrayed in a way where you’re still supposed to be rooting for her. Every one of those people, as brutally as they were killed, were monumental assholes. And instead of letting the viewer grapple with the fact that they’re on the side of a sadistic monster torturing someone to death, to explore the dangers of prioritizing vengeance over justice, the story just moves on. There’s a lot they could have done to bring the consequences of Dany’s shortsighted rage into perspective, really give the viewer several moments of “yeah, I see why she did it in the heat of the moment, but damn, that’s fucked up”. Then, her subsequent heel turn would feel like the logical conclusion of her arc.

Then just give her time to be the main antagonist for a bit. What’s the point of spending a series long arc setting up a powerful villain if she’s not actually given any screentime as the villain?

I don’t see how anyone can consider the sound puzzles in the jungle, the Tetris piece puzzles in the swamp and the color theory puzzles in the greenhouse the same kind of puzzle and be arguing in good faith.

It’s because of the way an LLM works, they’re completely blind to things like what a word starts with. Ask it something like “List 10 words that start and end with the same letter but are not palindromes.” and it completely shits the bed, because it can only process words as unified tokens, it can’t look inside the words to see how they’re structured.
