It’s really impressive how hard it is to build a party that doesn’t have everyone contributing to the big moments.

My character for instance does “mage”, but rarely does much to a big boss, but I clear hordes for the big hitters, heal the party, and buff our martials to do insane things.

It’s really cool in that casters are actually the ones that can last forever resource wise, as the more martial hero’s can burn through their own hp on their abilities fairly quickly.

You’re also rewarded a ton for synergizing with and helping each other through layering class abilities.

My friends and I have been playing Earthdawn the last few months, and that game solves this issue by giving everyone cool magic abilities (that use HP as a resource) and making the full casters weave their spells for a turn.

It’s complex but the math works out to make it play beautifully.

This is my biggest pet peeve about public life.

People can be unbelievably petty about stuff that doesn’t matter, and casually flippant about egregious and important matters

100% agreement.

Just cause you say yes to them doesn’t mean we can actually deliver on what you say yes to…

Just because another CEO told ours it’s possible doesn’t mean they aren’t LYING…

Ya that one was absolutely incredible.

So was the one with the dragon in China.

I love this so much. I’m part of these swordfighting/LARP communities, and everyone is pretty normal and fun.

But we always have some of these awkward earnest people and it’s 100% on brand for us to send them to do the interview with the news when something serious happens.

I did not realize which account I was reading at first. 🤣
November 15, 2024 at 10:15 PM
And people say it’s hard to make an honest living nowadays.

Hope it’s good news!

I totally get that.

They make really cool stuff.

Some of those World Championships opening ceremonies they do are cooler than anything I’ve ever seen.

Should hire those people for a Super Bowl halftime show.

They spent the money to make it right but also let the artists and storytellers just do a good job.

Riot is an incredible company in many ways.

Ya, definitely feels better than the last season. The Sauron narrative is definitely the strongest part.

Putin probably wants to end the war for a bit once Trump takes office to rebuild. Ukrainians holding Kursk makes keeping all Ukrainian territory gained awkward.

Trading territory with them makes them look legitimate, which undermines his rationale for the war.

It’s such a weird show because it feels like a lot of the good beats are there but it feels off to me.

The show feels too aware of the context in which it exists.

I think I just heard a monkey’s paw curl.

🤣🤣🤣

So twitter famous I’ve tried to explain you to normal people.

This is the single most defining and profound sentence I’ve ever read about human behavior.

I’m laughing it’s so true.
