Jira , mostly. It kind of sucks but it's what we use.

Sublime text for quick notes.

Some people like notion but I often find it redundant with jira, and it's often write-only memory.

Politics are complicated.

People are fucking stupid and care more about in-group good-feels than reality or policy.

Many Trump supporters like feeling like they are part of a larger group. That's it. That's really, deeply, stupid. Like, dogs are smarter than that. But they see the symbols and the faces and feel good about themselves.

Some people are deeply racist or sexist and such, but a lot of people just want to feel like they're part of a group.

It was okay.

Didn't really like the ending(s). I think one of the lead guys was like "cyberpunk can't have happy endings", so I guess they never read Neuromancer.

Gameplay was so-so, but I fixed some egregious problems with a mod. People who thought it was going to be life changing were living in a dream land.

Played the games. Not interested.

A new story in the setting could be good

Retelling the game sounds bad. Conveniently, the reasons why are nicely outlined in the article.

I think a lot of people are irrationally scared of "socialism" and "handouts". If a party was like "we're going to take some of the ultra wealthy's stuff and use it to build free housing, health care, transit, and public spaces" they'd be like "no that's communism I'd rather live in a box eating lead paint than get a government handout"

Unless he's going to jail or similar, it doesn't matter. He got what he wanted.

My parents were strict in many ways, but the ones that bother me were the ones that didn't have a sound reason behind them.

Like, "You have to be in bed at this time so you can sleep enough to feel ok in the morning" was fine. So was "Do your homework first, then go play so you don't have to worry about it, and you don't get surprised by it taking longer and you run out of time".

But sometimes they'd be like "you can't play video games but you can watch TV ", and that felt weird. I think they were just more comfortable with tv because they knew it.

So I guess my questions are, do you explain your reasons and motivations?

Do you ever back down if your child makes a compelling argument?

What about the people walking around with ~~armbands~~ hats, signalling they're enthusiastic members of the party?

People are stupid and value in group solidarity more than anything else.

The only way forward is to make them feel like a member of a better group, or violence.

I blame the people who voted for trump, personally. I'd be happy to watch the leopards eat their faces, but unfortunately we're all stuck with them.

I feel like people are just rolling over and taking it? He shouldn't even be eligible because of the 14th Amendment "no insurrection" thing.

Yes. And no one's going to do anything about it.

Most people are too lazy and thoughtless to stop using it .

The engineers that work there certainly aren't going to stage a coup.

And no one's going to just do violence to Musk.

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
