This is Call of Duty 22.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I used to play call of duty way back in the day and fell off around the time Black Ops 2 came out, mostly because I felt like there are too many games and I didn't need another black ops.

There's now more Black Ops games than I've bought games this year.

This is definitely a selfish opinion but people who block adverts or torrent being a small percentage of users can be a good thing.

If they lose even 5% of their userbase to Firefox over this decision, they'll find a way to make grand modifications to Google search and YouTube in a manner that stops you blocking ads from alternative browsers, and while I'm happy swapping to an alternative search engine, it'll definitely becometedious to sidestep Google's gaze.

But if it's 0.1% of people who swap due to this, and Google already don't care about the small percentage they lose to Firefox then I would rather sit under the radar and not be cracked down on.

To be fair, modern AI voices sound pretty real. Making it artificial would have been a tell in it's own right.

Long before ZA/UM closed, I was certain that we'd never see a new game of that quality again from the same studio.

I'm not confident any of these new teams will pull it off, but I'd rather have four attempts than one.

Also the toxicity that is implied to exist by this post is pretty rare really. Even back when I was using Reddit, toxicity generally sank to the bottom of comment sections, and even more so here. When I got into D&D close to the beginning of 5e, some online voices on YouTube for example carried this toxicity but nowadays, most voices are far newer and friendly.

In general, most people are more interested in what happens at their table instead of all tables, and the rules are just guidelines to aid that.

Microsoft will definitely have the power to bulldoze all other things named copilot, like Facebook did to meta. I'm still not over AI being a lame word now. I miss the time when it felt sci-fi and not like a corporate buzzword.

Which was a crazy lore addition considering hell and Satan are totally real in that world.

I actually doubt it. 30% of all of Hasbro's revenue comes from WotC (I've heard higher than 50% before, but a quick Google says 30%). Of that I've heard people say as high as 90% of WotC's income comes from Magic: The Gathering.

Artists are paid a set rate, not commission for their art, but thousands of cards are purchased at very little cost to WotC. It's a golden goose that is literally keeping Hasbro afloat, they'd be fools to touch the operations of MtG with a 10ft pole, nevermind replace it's core with AI.

A pop star that has had an enormous rise to popularity this last year. By all accounts, she seems to be a very good person who's main controversies have been burn out and stress from becoming a household name overnight.

You'd probably recognise a fair few if her songs from just hearing them in public. A lot of songs from her album were very well received.

The most common cheat is probably gaining money or experience, but there have always been pretty extensive mod menus for GTA Online with tools from invincibility to making your vehicles rainbow, to randomly causing other players to explode or setting hundreds of muggers on them.

In 2015ish, I used to cheat, other than getting rich, all I was interested in doing was making an indestructible chrome bus with smoke trails that I'd drive around picking up players in, to teleport us all to North Yankton and back like a tour guide.

I deleted my comment because I came from the TTRPG network homepage and didn't realise I was responding to pathfinder. I gave quite a few D&D 5e specific examples and was a little worried people wouldn't be happy about it.

 

This is for D&D 5e.

I'm currently making a reoccurring antagonist NPC that is a master thief. It's CR 6 and I want it to be capable of making three attacks per round like multiattack but also have their thief subclass's enhanced cunning action with fast hands.

This would normally mean they'd get 3 attacks and a varying options for bonus actions, however I'd want them to be able to trade up to three if these attacks to have more uses of cunning action (this would of course stack the ability to dash 4 times per round but I'd just not do that while running the monster). They also have a special once per day ability that I'd want them to be able to swap a single attack for.

It got me thinking, instead of trying to make an unwieldy combination of multiattack, a special action and cunning action, could I just give them three actions?

The simple way this NPC works that I want them to pick 3 options from:

  • Dagger
  • Crossbow
  • Special action
  • Dash
  • Disengage
  • Hide
  • Make an ability check
  • Use an object
  • Use a set of tools

At this point, what do I actually lose from letting them take 3 actions? They aren't a Spellcaster so I'm not worried about them throwing out three fireballs or the like.
