  • I know this is a thing in something I've seen. Greatest Estate Developer?

  • Are Brita filters bullshit?

    Jump

  • they think there's a health benefit and that it filters out more than just chlorine.

    Depending on where you are they're not wrong. It's a carbon filter, and carbon filters remove plenty more than just the chlorine taste, but what they'll remove from your water depends what's in your water. Like I wouldn't ever bother with a filter when I'm in Edinburgh, but in America I'd probably want all my water filtered.

  • Only Germany has a stronger stance on Israel, probably due to the large presence of Jews in the country.

  • Oat Milk is literally a scam.

    Jump

  • Where did you get that fraction from, and what makes you think "some" research is worth anything? Looking at the ingredients is "some" research, it doesn't mean you'll draw correct conclusions if you don't research the ingredients themselves.

  • Guardian vs paladin and commander vs bard.

    Jump

  • Guardian is a better classic tank than a Champion, because Champions get a lot more offensive and ally buffing abilities, while Guardian has more defensive and enemy debuffing abilities. A Champion can heal their allies after the battle, while a Guardian will just take the hits for them in the first place.Similarly, Commander vs Bard are more of a different style than one being better. Bard is the best casting buffer because of its spell list, but Commanders are martial buffers, so they can quickly change buffs and react to changes on the battlefield a lot more easily, while still having the actions to engage with the frontline.

    With both it's like asking if Sorcerers or Kineticists are better blasters. There isn't really an answer, they do different things with the role.

  • They'd have to be better to be the same, my sister got a more thought out reply about Israel from our old conservative MP than our current Labour one. They were both shit, but at least the conservative reply acknowledged what she'd said.

  • A game you think does DLC incredibly well?

    Jump

  • Technically Far Cry: Blood Dragon was a standalone expansion rather than DLC for 3, but it blew every other far cry game out of the water.

  • Is the Fediverse KYC'd in the UK with the new law?

    Jump

  • Afaik it's just .zip because the admin decided to have a meltdown instead of read the legislation, nothing else seems to have been affected.

  • What kind of characters do you tend to play? Which have been your favorites? How similar are most of your characters to you?

    Jump

  • When I started playing D&D (3.0) all of my characters were just me with fire powers. Sorcerer, pyrokineticist, whichever class I could find that gave me the most fire. Since then, while I play a very wide range of characters in terms of classes and ancestries, all of them are based on some part of me. Dr Hoots, Owlin Chronurgist, was based on my often deadpan demeanor and tendency to fix things behind the scenes, while Ihrannis V, Fey Paladin, had a lot of my ADHD in him. Bob Peasbody, Human Omdura, was my anxiety, and Robert Thatch, Human Swashbuckler, was my tenuous self preservation.

    My favourite was probably when a DM bribed me to play Descent into Avernus by giving me an NPC to play - Lulu is a Hollyphant (small golden flying elephant) that accompanies the party on their adventure, and the DM gave me her backstory and a Hollyphant PC statblock and told me to make what I wanted. Small spoilers for DiA: most of her backstory is amnesia. I came back with the suggestion of a support focused sorcerer build to heal the party, and the DM pulled a face, so I gave him my other suggestion: I wasn't sure of the specifics, but the backstory suggested the amnesia was down to a series of extremely traumatic events in Hell which could easily cause PTSD, and the progression of the statblock meant she started without most of the magic an NPC hollyphant has but would progress to full power over the adventure. So, the class that would most closely match that - Wild Magic Barbarian. Triggered by devils, her rages see uncontrolled bursts of her suppressed magic manifesting around her as she goes ham on them.DM loved it and the rest of the table was delighted when they were introduced to the high pitched bundle of excitement, which turned into a mix of horror and confusion when combat started and I soundtracked it with this.

  • What is Lemmy's problem with AI?

    Jump

  • OK remember like 70 years ago when they started saying we were burning the planet? And then like 50 years ago they were like "no guys we're really burning the planet"? And then 30 years ago they were like "seriously we're close to our last chance to not burn the planet"? and then in the past few years they've been like "the planet is currently burning, species are going extinct, and we are beginning to experience permanent effects that might not snowball into an extinction event if we act right now?"But sure, AI is really cool and can trick you, personally into thinking it's conscious. It's just using nearly as much power as the whole of Japan, but you're giggling and clapping along, so how bad can it really be? It's just poisoning the air and water to serve you nearly accurate information, when you could have had accurate information by googling it for a fraction of the energy cost.

    I hate AI because I'm a responsible adult.
