Any filename joke that starts with the word "typical", "average" or the likes is not a good joke. You are just posting a funny gif.

Listen man, this Campaign runs on Vibes. This is a Vibe-based exp system. We don't roll dice anymore, we only Vibe. That's how Tabletop Stealth Action would feel.

>>96502344
The closest game I've found to a Metal Gear system is FIST.

>>96502353
seems like it hooks more into >>96501480 than the first Strand-type tabletop game.

It's implying all weapons should deal equal damage sinply because they kill things equally. It's a butthurt spear troon masking their asspain towards Greatsword chads.

>>96501471
Because a lot of medieval realism and pseudo-realism fanatics can't grasp the idea of the weapons being situational and the fantastical nature of the setting creating a niche for fantastical weapons and armour.

>>96501629
What the fuck is this?

>>96504848
Lovecraft Country, a HBO show from a while back.
There is an episode where a character gets lost in time and space, and one bit has them in some weird hypertech future.

My grandpa was born in 1925. He grew up in New England on a farm with no electricity. I remember we were at a family gathering for the Super Bowl (a bunch of cheer-leaders in skimpy outfits were dancing on the TV in our air-conditioned living room) in 2018. I asked my grandpa, "Hey, grandpa. What's it been like going from a New England farm with no electricity, to... this?"

All he said was, "Boy... it has been *exciting."

I think about this occasionally in regards to the internet and our high connectivity society. In the late 80s and early 90s, I left home to go to the nearby town to have fun without any sort of way to contact my parents short of a payphone; I had no real safety net beyond the kindness of strangers giving me a hand if my car had trouble or anything else. If I wanted to know about something esoteric, I physically visited a library and looked up a book that held information on that topic. I had zero idea what other countries were like in a day to day sense except for the ones I personally traveled to, no way to just talk with random people from anywhere in the world to get an idea what was going on.

Perhaps I'm playing it up too much or maybe we just don't realize how much our lives changed when things like the internet and smartphones came into proliferation, but I'd say it's almost as big of change as the introduction of the automobile or electricity.

>>96505581
No, its major. Even as someone BORN in the 80s/90s, the difference is huge. I remember floppy disks and dialup internet, computers that work on MSDOS and being told to never give out your real name to anyone online.
Now everyone else lives their lives with all of their personal data handed out at the door with no hesitation, and it horrifies me. They don't feel like they are giving up any privacy, because they never were taught to expect it in the first place.

>>96505581
>but I'd say it's almost as big of change as the introduction of the automobile or electricity.
I think it is quite a bit bigger since while those make the world a smaller to travel, the internet made it fit on your desk or in the palm of your hand.

>>96505605
Yeah, it's uttterly bizarre how one website's policies irreparably damaged internet etiquette. Pre Facebook, you generally didn't want to use Identifying info online and the people who did so, and posted their entire life online, were weirdos. Then at some point it flipped and now you're a weirdo if you DON'T do that shit.
And yet, even though everyone's life is online, people have gotten worse at understanding "Holy shit different countries/cities/whatever are different"

>>96505605
>>96506070
It is so bizarre going from growing up with "never give out any personal information" hammered into basic netiquette to "here is my face, my address, my apartment number, my job, etc. wooooo" that is today. It triggers so much "this is incredibly stupid and dangerous why are you doing this" feelings from me.

>>96506107
I mean, there is a certain retarded logic in it. If one person goes into a cage with a hungry tiger. They're going to get eaten.
If a hundred go in, each has a 1% chance to get eaten.
If a million people go into a cage with a hundred hungry tigers... well nearly all of them will be fine. So what's the problem?
Of course you could just, you know, not go into the cage, but apparently you're some kinda sketchy weirdo if you do that.

>>96506136

man, imagine that. he saw some of the greatest achievements of the nation and some of the greatest failures as well. he saw it all in his lifetime.
and unlike the stereotype, he was enjoying the ride.

See, this is why I don't see Immortality as a curse at all because when you achieve immortality (in a game or a fictional narrative), you have the privilege to understand that life is a spectator sport to you now.

Honestly, If i were to make an immortal character for a setting, he'd be the kind of character that's been alive for so long he's not interested in interacting with the mundane, but he understand that he has to keep in touch with that part of life. he'd be a chronicler for a nation, a bureaucrat who's duty is to write records of everything that happens so future generations can come to him and he can give them books on events that happened in such and such year. like an immortal record keeper.

>>96506136
Tiger gets to eat one person at a time, big corpo can mass-process data at millions of entires a second.
Snake oil salesman could address crowd of few hundreds, targeted ads and engineered product reviews have no such limitation.
That said, internet and AI are not the enemy, they are just tools, tool used to great effect by people who would tell fortunes and peddle saint's relics made of chicken bone if they were born few centuries earlier.

>>96507105
>and unlike the stereotype, he was enjoying the ride.
I'd like to believe most people enjoy the ride. It's just that those who like to complain happen to be the most vocal...

>>96507118
In fact some might have enjoyed the ride tad too much...

>>96507456
Yeah a lot of my filename thread images are extremely out of date.

>>96507416
That's actually a very, VERY gross oversimplification.
Actual translation as best as I can manage:
>fucked, fucked-up, shit-up, chickenshit*, ???, jerkoff*, ???, (is) fucked (as in "very bad"), fucked (as in "used goods"),
>fucked off*, fucked up (again, as in "used goods", sorta), bitched-out*, fucked (as in "I'm fucking fed up with it"),
TL note: * my approximation, since I don't speak kurwa böbr, but slavic and slavic-derived languages are all at least somewhat cross-intelligible.

>that filename
>kurwa elf
Fits together disturbingly well.

I feel like a lot of people don't really understand this. The past was wildly different in this regard and people judge it as if they had the same knowledge base and accessibility. That's the case all the way down from politics to world view to even simple day to day or hour to hour entertainment.

A lot of the shit that absolutely dominated the 2000's internet was entertaining or funny given the life experiences and options available at the time.

Not to let the facts get in the way of a good story or anything but the artist for that doujin is a woman just not, as I understand it, the woman in the photo who is a booth girl the artist hired to sell her stuff.

So what class are these people? My guess:
Dwarf is either fighter or cleric. Dancing woman is a Rogue, the old man is a wizard with his cane/staff and all. The drunk guy is Warforged Barbarian experiencing some malfunctions on his frame for some reason. The second woman is a Fighter recovering from her previous adventure.

>>96535866
what exactly changed? I haven't been on tg back then, but there's still both world building and coomers

>>96536749
Couldn't tell you the exacts. So much has happened. I started showing up around 2012. Smart phones have completely changed everything for how digital interfaces with reality and I don't think any of us fully understand it all. The monetization of the internet for specifically ad revenue. The rise of hustle culture and monetizing your hobbies. The elections happened. The internet is also massively more international and some apps really let people interact in a language they don't really understand. Plus troll farms. It's just too much happening all at once to have a simple to explain answer. And I've barely gone into what's happened on 4chan, let alone /tg/. I can't claim to understand all of it or most of it. I might even barely understand some of it

>>96536749
Anon, these stats are from more than a decade ago, instead of dealing with a degree holding traditional nerd from a western country you're dealing with uneducated smartphone users who're into the flavour of the month.

>>96514437
Take this anon for instance,
>I don't you are a sperg..."
he's absolutely retarded, imagine most people are.

>>96535780
I don't read doujin, or even look at the pictures, and I don't recall her name since I read it maybe once but there's an image to search from including two covers and titles so knock yourself out if you want to find her name. You probably won't find many photos of her it's that what you're after as the reason she hired a booth girl is for her privacy.

>>96514021

>>96505387
My grandpa went from the horse and buggy still being the primary mode of transport in his town to witnessing the space shuttle. He died honestly kind of young because his early life was rough as hell, my mom had buried both her parents by the time she had me at 40.

I'm in my early 30s now and I've seen from my dad's rotary phone and record player and his work PC having a QIC and 8 inch floppy drive, to... This. What would have once been called a supercomputer is in my pocket, storage has gone from being a dinnerplate that holds like 1/6th of an mp3 to 2tb in something the size of my fingernail, controversial though they may be and still inferior to all but the most unskilled of artists and writers there are nevertheless generative AI that do outperform the dregs of humanity, they're developing cybernetics with a sense of touch, the only reason we don't have robots with guns yet is there hasn't been a war to justify the cost of mass production... And it's only going to go further and faster.

>confused.jpg because I don't want to waste the image count

He racks the slide. That chambers a round even though you can see it ejects an already chambered round. An already chambered rounds suggests it was already in a ready state and racking the slide to cock the weapon only wastes the round already chambered.

The woman is supposed to think he now has a unloaded sidearm? If his plan is to shoot her she's already at point-blank range and he has more ammunition in case of a misfire or a miss. He wants to lull her into a false sense of security so he can get physically close and then tell her there's a chambered round?

How does the rest of that scene play out and what show is it?

>>96544780
>she's already at point-blank range
real-life maybe, but that's nowhere near certain kill proximity by movie standards
