Where in my comment did I ever suggest that I don't understand this?

I was just reflecting on the comment that I was responding to, which was specifying that a broken clock may be running fast or slow, instead of being stopped.

I was thinking of analog 12hr clock with no distinction between AM and PM

I wonder if your 24hr clock example would be more intuitive as frequencies and phases?

I was thinking of an analog clock with 12 hours and no distinction of AM or PM... but if we're talking 24h clocks you are right.

A broken clock, whether it ticks too fast or too slow, is still right at least once every 24 hours, I think.

The only exception would be one that ticks correctly but is not set to the right time (does this count as broken?)

I don't despise paid DMing as much as you do, but I agree that it's negatively shifting the expectations of hobbyist/enthusiast DMs and commodifying what was originally a personal investment into a social group.

In addition, a paid DM is more inclined to make conditions favorable for the players... as they do not want to get fired from that role.

It's true that DMing can be hard work and that the DM will spend many more hours on DnD than anyone else in the group, but last time I DM'ed, my friends ran a food rotation (usually big macs or taco bell) and I always ate for free :)

Burgers won't make me fudge dice to keep the party happy, but a paycheck sure would.

But if their argument is that you can simply ignore mods you disagree with, then those individuals should stop brigading against and whining about, say, a mod that enables queer relationships. As their own arguments imply, they can simply ignore those mods.

They should really pick a side instead of cherrypicking what's convenient for them.

Welp. Almost all of the conversations I've read about this change have devolved into "hopefully the new owners don't enforce their political views."

They always say shit like "if you don't like a mod, don't use it," but they can't wrap their heads around the idea that if they can't tolerate the (ex-)site owner exercising his own moral beliefs, they can find a different platform.

Fun.

As a fellow lemm.ee user, I sincerely hope you don't end up picking a new instance.

This is the game I used to convince my film nerd friends that games can be art too. They really enjoyed playing through it!

The game doesn't really explain this, but you get different dodge animations when you are using an extra light build. To me, this made the game feel more like bloodborne, which made the combat easier to read. Eventually, I ended up parrying everything instead of dodging, but I really like how the game plays in this state. YMMV

...Armored Core 2? The person you replied to is talking about Assassin's Creed 2...

The $800m figure is only useful for figuring out how much Tesla was expecting to make out of it. When you factor in the development and manufacturing costs, they're hemorrhaging money.
