And some extremely jank SSR, everything in this scene is fudged numbers and synchronization issues.

This is great info, thank you all! I wouldn't have guessed the ultimate source was the display hardware

Coincidentally I think also explains what was failing in a 1080p monitor I had years ago which went through periods of pretending to only support 640x480

Now you mention it I do see the similarity, not a bad recommendation at all
I'm flexible on the "occult" part really, I just included that so people would better grasp what I mean

This is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, thanks!

My personal system is like this in a roundabout way: there's only one numerical mechanic and it's so unsuitable for dice that it's always done via web-based tool
You just type the supporting & opposing stats into the tool and press the button and it tells if you succeed and by how much

Go ahead! Let me know what you make out of it 😄
