PF2e works pretty well on Foundry. I’ve been playing it for a while now and while there are some glitches, there has been steady progress and only a few niche activities aren’t decently accounted for. I heard PF described as D&D5e with some homebrew rules added on to fix the balance issues, and 2e takes it a bit further. There are things I don’t like, but it’s pretty fun and having a computer take care of most of the tedious math is nice.

I completely agree. I feel like I have to traverse the entire menu system, which is also broken into different areas, to find some feature I’m sure must be there, I just haven’t found it yet.

Reagan proved conclusively that an effective government can have a dementia patient as the figurehead. It isn’t ideal, but the people he is surrounded by make a huge difference.

Now, I’m not saying I agree with the policies his presidency promoted, but it was still effective

What, terror offenses might get me sentenced to life in the UAE? That’s pretty serious, I don’t think I could handle that much heat.

That title could definitely be written better.

Well shit, now I feel like a bit of an ass. Sorry for the snark.

A whole screen of text and you didn’t even finish the first sentence of my comment, and don’t appear to have read the second to last one…

French or standard?

I don’t know, I don’t think I want the best IT person in the world performing an appendectomy.

Just because you’re an expert in one field doesn’t mean you’re an expert in every field.

I mean, Russia would gain a country’s worth of land if Europe and America would just fuck off, so I’d say he has as much to gain as any given billionaire in America and Europe. And politically weakening your opponents by sowing division among their electorate seems like a relatively easy way to do it. Hell, there’s even a book about it.

Certainly, those billionaires have been pushing in the same direction, but I think they have help.

I just love the people who go crazy when the government passes a law that people are sure will be unconstitutional, and of course the latest time the Liberals did it Poilievre was all over it, then when says he will not only pass unconstitutional laws but will use the Notwithstanding clause to keep them, they are suspiciously silent.

Poilievre isn’t an idiot, for all his other failings. Just because he hasn’t outright said how far he’s willing to take things doesn’t mean he doesn’t have plans to. It has the potential to be very bad.

What exactly does this have to do with anything in the above comment?

Edit: no need to repeat myself. I think European would have been a more reasonable label.

Right or wrong, looking at that map, it’s hard to say those are delusions.

Cool. I’m not sure what that has to do with the continent, though. Politically, I’m uncertain if that would count as something other than colonization, either.

I’m beginning to doubt the accuracy of the labeling…

Imagine my surprise when I learned that Europe was adjacent to Japan.

The other response said it well enough, but I’ll go a step further.

MS made a tradition of moving functionality around in their OS for no other reason that I could glean than grouping things in an at least superficially comparable group and absolutely not where it was in the last version, merely so that certification from the previous version wouldn’t apply to the current one. They would do similar things with their Office application menus, in one version moving them around based on how often you used them (try doing phone support with that!), in another replacing them with little pictures that pretended they were related to their functionality, and again moving them around every version apparently for the sake of requiring recertification.

To top it all off, they would also not give you access to the old menuing systems. You could argue bloat, but that would be ignoring the massive piles of it they added for the sake of animating their new menus alone (which has value, to a degree).

I’m aware of some of the interesting bits of woodworking, as well. I can imagine the response if you told woodworkers that the only hammer/mallet they could use was a 16 oz claw hammer. And the reason we made all those different hammers is because they are the best option for the task they were designed for. You can get away with using a smaller set, especially if your workflow would require using some rarely enough that it isn’t worth adding in their storage and cost to be worth it, but a good woodworker will still be aware of those tools and be assessing their processes to determine if it’s time to expand their toolset.

And the difference between the physical world and the world of computer interfaces is you aren’t limited to just one. The open source world is particularly fond of including deprecated functionality because there are a lot of pieces working together and it will often take years to get everything updated, and you will never know when the last dependency is removed. Likewise with UIs. A lot of the time, a deprecated one can be kept around for those who can’t be bothered to learn the new one, but the cost of keeping the old version around for a few years is usually relatively low (and the developer can determine how much they are willing to have that cost be and do things to help make it stay within that limit). That’s no reason to leave the old version as the default, though.

You seem very defensive of the workers. That’s cool, I’m one of them.

Good workers will do better with the right tool. Bad workers, those who are resistant to change and are unwilling to learn, will never do better. So why cater to the bad workers? Now catering to the bad workers makes sense if the job is so basic that virtually no training is required, and bad workers need to eat, too. But saying we should all crawl because they don’t want to run is absurd.

Well, fascism does seem to love having enemies to distract their populace with. Here’s an article talking about it.

Just because someone got used to walking around on their knuckles doesn’t mean walking upright isn’t easier and better overall. Sure, it will be difficult, it will be uncomfortable, and they’ll have to get used to it before they see any improvement, but once they get past those hurdles even they will be amazed at how fast walking upright can be. And in the meantime, no one else who already has a tendency to walk upright will have to go through the pain and inefficiency of walking on their knuckles.
