With how abysmally little as they make from Spotify, this isn't much different. They make anywhere from 0.003-0.005¢ per stream. If you really want to support artists, buy music from their Bandcamp or Qobuz, but don't pay for Spotify; the only people winning in that exchange is Spotify.

Silk issue.

Dunno what this game is, never heard of it, and it honestly doesn't sound like my type of game anyway.

But if they don't want my OS, they don't even want me as a player anyway, I will not switch OSes for a game. Plain and simple.

I'd love to! I can't find one that supports my Samsung Galaxy Note 20.

This is also a great way to handle it; malicious compliance/monkey paw. Makes for some humorous moments.

And yeah, if a player is constantly having to be told no, a talk may need to be had, and if it can't be resolved, they probably need to go. It's also a reason why Session 0's are so important; talking out what's expected of the campaign both on the part of the players and what the GM has in mind.

I 90% agree. I think most of the opposition to this comes from people exhausted with habitual boundary-pushers who think that a nat 20 means they can get away with defying the laws of reality.

Like, no, a nat20 persuasion does not convince the merchant to give you half his stock and all the money in the register... He would go broke and he's got a family to support, along with his own survival that your nat20 does not also convince him to stop caring about.

But at the end of the day, a lot of GMs who are sick of that need to be sent the dictionary page for the word "no." The occasional use of it really does improve the quality of the game, and I'm sure plenty of players will appreciate not letting aforementioned boundry pushers continue to waste time on impossible pursuits that do nothing to move the game forward.

Idk, that's sounding a lot like they were just exceptionally prepared to find out.

I'm on the older end of Gen Z. I'm not even 30 yet, but I'm with you. I didn't start there though; a lot of us are raised by people who either drank the kool-aid or are too beaten down by capitalism to care, so give them awhile to get there.

Deadlock is still a MOBA. You do have to kill minions, farm gold, buy items, push lanes, etc. But it is a lot faster than Predecessor and is still also a shooter.

It's free, if you have someone who can invite you, you lose nothing trying it. The community has also been shockingly nice in my experience thus far.

I get it. It's an understandable desire, that there's somehow more to this and a point to our suffering. Be careful with the Witnesses though. If you're grieving lost loved ones, they'll pick up on it and try to leverage that to swindle you in. I truly believe most religious people mean well, but the Watch Tower Society (the people behind the JW's) are incredibly predatory and outright teach their followers to leverage people's grief if they pick up on it.

To these people, God clearly exists.

It's so evident, I mean, just look around! How could you possibly not believe...? Unless... Unless you hate Him and just wanna sin and rebel against him like the Devil! That's it! You're working for the Devil and/or you're possessed and/or you hate God! So you cover it up so people won't believe in Him, and you're confusing their minds so they die without salvation and go to hell!

It's an insane rationalization to make sense of how and why anybody would ever not believe what is so clearly plain as day to them. To entertain the notion that there is legitimacy to non-belief or even disbelief means entertaining the possibility that their dearly held beliefs are incorrect.

So they must concoct an answer that leads to willful disbelief, and reject all claims of non-belief, save for those who haven't heard of Christ at all. And, because they're paranoid, the reason cannot be innocent, they must assume malice to feed their delusion and their persecution complex.

They're Christo-Fascists, so the obvious answer is "to deny God." That's what it all boils down to. That's the only possible end it could ever serve and their base will devour it.
