I say this as someone who's been playing in a 2e campaign for the past two and a half years and has been GMing one the past year and largely greatly prefers PF2e to 5e. There are some great elements in 2e like degrees of success, the three action economy, lots of customization options, great GM support, and Paizo overall being a better company that Hasbro. But let's not kid ourselves here: Pathfinder is just reskinned DnD. Heroic fantasy where you roll a d20 and add a modifier.

I was talking to someone (younger, obviously) and they used the phrase "in the late 1900s" completely unironically. It stopped me dead in my tracks and took my brain about 5 seconds to compute. By the time I was able to speak again, the only thing I could say was "you need to shut the fuck up and leave right now."

As an elder millennial (84, fuckers) I'm really struggling with entering middle age. But I guess I just approach it the same way my generation has approached everything else, with a weird mix of existential dread and wry humor (hat tip to Gen X for starting that, though).

I mean, the first one was a fun popcorn flick. Into Darkness was... Eh, not the worst movie I've ever seen. I can't adequately judge Beyond because it came out about three months after my dad died (who introduced me to Trek and sci-fi in general) and he would have loved the ending.

Welcome to the professional world where everything is iterative and and 95% of your clients (internal or external) are data illiterate and don't want to learn whatever self service tools you build.

Or could just use monsters that target players' weakest saves.

Probably vote blue all the way down the line but I'm going to be shitting on the democratic party publicly and loudly for all the fucked and/or cowardly shit they do because not as bad != not bad.

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to see The Green Bone Saga mentioned. Get the choreographers from Into the Badlands to work on this show. Shit, with half decent make up Daniel Wu could probably play Kaul Hilo.

My dad died when I was 32 and my mom when I was 35. So like, not when I was a kid, but still relatively young. I just thought it was normal, right? Because everyone had their own normal. My therapist had to spend an entire session about how abnormal it was. 'how many of your friends have lost one or both of their parents?" The answer was less than two.

I think Zoomers also have the benefit of not having Boomers in the work force as a counterweight. For 20 years before COVID, the two largest generations in American history were in the work force together. Now the majority of Boomers are retired, power in the workplace is leaning towards the workers instead of companies.

It's basically just a VLOOKUP is how I explain it to my friends who might be familiar with excel but not a real database.
