@Pathia oh fuck that :(
lewd, DnD discorse posting
So like sure, constantly returning to racist/sexist tropes sucks.
And being basically the final holdout of "this race is just evil by nature" mentality.
And putting rediculous effort to become The Only TTRPG.
And 5e basically being 50% "I dunno GM, you figure out the rules instead of having out $90 books explain them"
And just everything to do with fostering combatative player-vs-gm mentality.
And sure they refuse to do anything to reign in the bigots they employ.
BUT.
BBUUTT.
The only real reason to truly hate Gygax is that he refused to accept this is the correct shape for dragonborn.
guys can we make a free internet library archive where we can all drop books and webpages where there is actually useful information not written by chatgpt?
because i don't want to lose my only learning resources and be left alone without the ability to advance my skills and pursue my artistic passions
if anybody knows anything please tell me
feel free to boost
looking for work, please boost
Might as well look for a better job.
But, my skills v. much do NOT include effectively *looking* for work. At all.
I've worked in the translation industry (10+ yrs full-time plus freelance work), I speak PL natively, EN near-perfectly, some FR. Know some coding basics.
Will do just about anything (ethical) for $1900+/€1700+ per month. Stable-ish, trans-friendly and remote work would be best, but any paid work I'm capable of doing is great.
@mawr You mean twitter?
@mawr Oh no... that is the worst feeling.
re: Cursed
no
Capitalism, Ethics and Narcissism
If we accept that capitalism encourages people to take risks and cause harm where it is likely to result in a personal monetary gain, then it's not hard to conclude that individuals drawn to management within industries of questionable ethics may very likely trend narcissist if not full on sociopath. ![]()
rant, tech work, superbad deployment process, oncall.. wanna get high and sleep
I am so tired... 3 hours of sleep... I just wanted to have a gummi and sleep until tomorrow... but graaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwrrrr... I'm oncall until Monday.. holy fuck our core production deployment system is so broken.. and for some reason the oncall person is responsible for the weekly core push to prod... and I my day started when I got paged at 5am.. did not end until like almost 8pm because I was supervising my first core push... and it was so busted and messy.. argh.. I have so many angry notes about things that should definitely change about the process. I have no idea how the fuck.. it has been like this for.. apparently several years..
re: Pathfinder, Outlaws of Alkenstar minor spoilers, mostly GM griping.
@Draekos The first book of Guns of Alkenstar has really fucking weird decisions in it.
Heavily encourages players to play gun based characters.. Tosses in a bunch of constructs early on that are resistant to physical damage.
Like they are "thematic" enemies for the story but make no fucking sense from the perspective of making the module fun and interesting to play.
@kistaro Brains are weird like that
re: food. ( - )
@Draekos Meat bodies are such a chore sometimes.
enby - work/appearence/pronouns/hair
So last night I had a horrible encounter with some scissors and ending up cutting my hair very short chasing a mis-cut... because it's been 3 years since I've seen a stylist.. and my hair has been a mess.
Like it has been this short in years.. my bangs literally stop at my jaw line everything kinda follows that.
Since my hair is too short to put up (which I used to do to keep it from getting tangled with headphones) I wore it down for all my meetings this morning..
During all of them, everyone reference me unprompted used fem pronouns.. which usually people that aren't paying attention have used masc in the past.
(My HR profile, gsuite, slack, zoom and everything else at this company lists they/them as my pronouns and a lot of folks not on my team or that are not queer I guess miss that)
I was pretty upset about how short I cut my hair last night... but honestly I feel lot less crappy over it now.
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
