Gamers Nexus | The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

  • This current wave of enshitification to online services is generally driven by said online services taking steps that they believe to be more profitable to the detriment of the people who use them.

    That has always gone on but it feel like it's everywhere at once at the moment; with the place I live in, the transport I use, the food I buy, the media and art I consume etc.

    1900 years ago, the world knew that the only things people desired were bread and circuses, i.e. to have your needs met and have entertainment, a lot of people have built their modern circuses off of things that are becoming unusable or deserve boycott. It's far better than living in a warzone or something but to have many things we rely on for satisfaction stripped from us at once.

    I just wanna spend my free time entertained without having to perpetually change what provides that entertainment, is that not why most of us use this site?

    • I'm leaning towards the latter.

  • Homebrew is rad, homebrew options that are accidentally stronger than official options are bad and homebrew options that are intentionally stronger require one hell of a game designer to keep the game reasonably balanced.

    • Playtest 6 just gets worse for Monks the more I read it

  • Honestly I support the weakening of stunning strike specifically. The monk shouldn't be crap with the exception of one ability that is so encounter breaking that many DMs are weakening it anyway.

    The monk should have been buffed otherwise of course but the modifications to stunning strike are more or less required.

  • I have a piece of counter advice that allows you to on occasion plan a plot point. Generally your PCs are most invested in their beloved NPCs, either from backstory or the plot you've developed. If you have a cool idea, these NPCs can often be inserted into it and offer exactly what the players enjoy.

  • Happy to see you here, I think your stories have been quite influential on my next character and I presumed I'd have seen the last of you at the beginning of July when I stopped being able to use Reddit due to prefering mediums without ads.
