What tipped it for you?

I have a friend who was an early user of LLM and had it write ad copy (which it was only ever okay at). A few times they had it "write" "stories", and it was reading those that made me realize how useless it would be for writing.

I built my PC in 2020, and I made it as powerful as I could afford so I could play games like Cyberpunk 2077 at max graphical settings. Still can't "upgrade" to Windows 11, not that I really want to.

You definitely could.

I like there being a difference between "light armored warrior" and "assassin", like the Swashbuckler kits from AD&D, or the Swashbuckler class from Pathfinder. The big difference between for me is a focus on speed and agility vs a focus on stealth and high risk, high reward attacks.

Pirates, curses, and revenge on King George III? This sounds like my kind of game.

On the paid GMing website StartPlaying it's something like 70% of all games played, according to the somebody who works on the backend of the website.

There's a lot of self-delusion to it, I think. Even if they know they're never going to approach Skynet in their lifetime, they've invested so much of themselves into the idea that it's too frightening to admit even they could be wrong. So they keep up the charade, just like all the rest of them do.

I've been playing Pathfinder 2e with the same group of people for coming up on 3 years now, and there are exactly two of us who plan our turns. So instead of expecting the impossible, we've just taken to offering advice when the other players aren't sure what they want to do on their turn.
