Wrath’s a lot easier to play, I’d say, because the mythic paths change things completely for your builds. It makes builds a lot more flexible, too, compared to Kingmaker/base PF1e.

WotR is one of my absolute fave games - probably because I GM Pathfinder 1e - so I’m super glad to see someone getting into it! Have fun, take your time. The only major timer is right at the beginning, and doesn’t affect too much. Make sure you recruit Daeran, Woljif, and Ember!

You wouldn’t want to do that anyway. Stuff up the arse needs a flared base, or you’ll end up with a hospital visit.

I’ve been referring to these as babykillers. Good luck seeing a kid crossing the road if you’re in one of these.

I understand it for them. They’re a slower, more mature forum - they don’t want to be Reddit. I’ve got an account there and I enjoy my time there, but I’ve been using Kbin instead of Reddit more often.

To be fair, people should wear their fucking headphones.

A magazine is basically a subreddit, though. I didn’t realise Lemmy called them something different until after hahah

It’s fun, right? That’s actually part of why I use the same name everywhere - I’ve had friends from a decade ago find me on Twitter and go “hey, did you play Runescape…?”

Makes the world feel a little less lonely when you find the faces and names you know!

Kbin is so much clearer to me, personally.

I am indeed! And a lot of other places. Good to see you around the net.

They’re not wrong at all, but Reddit aren’t going to change their mind and grant them their due respect. Like with Digg before it, the userbase will slowly migrate away if this keeps up.

I feel that. Went back home for a visit last year and so much has changed. It’s bizarre, feeling disconnected from where I live and yet like home has moved on without me.

Copyright should exist or artists and writers can’t avoid having their work stolen by much larger companies.

I think it’s worth defining a hard limit for non-person entities to own copyright. That’d mean post a certain limit, game code, artwork, music etc would be free to use. Human-owned copyright should probably be life with a minimum period of average life expectancy, with maybe provisions to allow it to cover your children too? Prevents corporations from waiting until your mum dies in an accident and immediately taking her life’s work and using it everywhere.

I’d definitely look for a new job closer. If anyone has recently left, you might be able to talk to them about it.

Namesilo. Genuinely cheap, and fantastic service every time I’ve needed to ask something. Plus: free privacy!

I’m surprised there’s no Lemmy/Kbin version of it yet. I’m missing it :(

I can indeed, or I can just change links like https://kbin.social/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml to https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Hilariously, neither of these work on Kbin either (probably because Kbin uses m instead of c).

It’s the sexism, honestly. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been passed over, talked over, belittled, and mocked for being a woman in tech. I have a lot of support from half of the industry, but from the other… well. I’ve been told to make sure I stay behind the man because he should always be walking into a room first. I’ve been ignored by coworkers. I’ve been screamed at by my boss in a way he only ever did to women. I’ve been seated in a boss’s office for him to leer at me whilst lecturing me over nothing because he wanted to stare.

That, and then the pay gap… It’s unsurprising. There’s so much sexism in the industry and there’s even more for someone young trying to get into it - both with the social pressure, as you mentioned, to do something else, and the general rude bollocks of ‘girls can’t code’. I’m so proud of all the young female devs I see starting to get into tech.

Mm… it’s a bit different. I’m a female game dev working in one of my country’s bigger studios, and I’m one of two women who touches code (aka, software engineer/developer). Out of the whole company of ~300 people, there are only ~50 women. Most of those are artists, designers, QA, production, audio, HR , or other higher ups in the company.

It’s no secret that they’re desperately trying to get more female engineers on board, but there’s just a huge shortage of tech talent where I live, and a lot of women are driven off from game dev because of the reactions and treatment that are so typical of the environment. Even getting here, everything has been very male-dominated through my entire career; women in tech just aren’t as common for countless reasons.

I’d love to see statistics for some of the really big companies, actually.

Hi, I’m an adult woman who also looks pretty young! There’s still a huge difference between how I look now in my late 20s and how a prepubescent child looks! These things are false equivalencies. Stop trying to justify this shit.
