I've heard good things about Palm Springs from 2020.

I recently played Battle Chasers: Nightwar and was reminded how much I enjoy turn based combat where you can see and manipulate the turn order, like in FFX and an Atelier game I played on PS2. Any modern games, preferably available on Switch, like that?

On a similar subject I'm currently playing Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and there aren't any Final Fantasy Tactics, FFT:A, or FFT:A2 remakes currently out, so I'm looking for anything that uses the same combat system as them, again on Switch.

My dog. Nobody's gonna miss his awful farts or massive shits.

Yeah, no, that's not helpful at all - what I consider cold and what my mum considers cold are very different temperatures, and what I consider hot and my neighbour considers hot has an even bigger difference.
You rationalise it with the "human scale" idea, but really you just know the range of temperatures you're personally comfortable in, just like everyone using Celsius does.

I know you feel smart for taking a holier than thou attitude, but you're just revealing you're too dumb to come up with an actual response.

No, you dumbfuck, there is no argument attached to those insults. There is nothing in their comment saying that you are wrong because of your ignorance, which is what an ad hominem argument is - we are pointing out why you are wrong, and then calling you a lentil brained moron.
This is stuff they made me learn at school over 20 years ago as a 13 year old. You should be embarrased that you can't even get the most basic fallacy right.

Ad hominem arguments are ones that dismiss your arguments based on insults or attacks on you personally, not just being insulting while making an argument against you.

The fact that you don't know that (or can't tell the difference between them) just demonstrates your ignorance, so in this particular instance they weren't even being insulting, they were simply stating a fact.

Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you honestly do believe they're downplaying the Holocaust - look into the Warsaw Uprising. From the small militia that initiated the attacks to the mass killing of civilians in response, it's exactly analogous to the current situation in Israel.

We are absolutely aware of the severity of the holocaust and do not compare contemporary events to it lightly.

the right-extremist government, the child murdering military and the illegal settlers of Israel,

...who the fuck else do you think there is in Israel? Government, military, civilians, what?

Secondly, criticising Hamas is pretty problematic: they have lived their entire lives as second class citizens under a white European occupation, often literally under siege from an unprofessional military, losing their parents, siblings, and children to random attacks by settlers, snipers, bulldozers etc and being forced out of their homes into more and more crowded refugee camps. If you'd condemn people for fighting back under those circumstances, what would you say about resistance forces in WWII, Irish forces fighting the British, or Haitians throwing off the chains of their enslavers? Israel has not given them a choice about harming civilians - civilians are literally its first line of defence, spread out across Palestinian land to maintain their hold, moved into houses as soon as they are taken so any attempt to regain land necessarily involves them. You can be critical in your support, but it is a moral prerogative to condone and support Hamas in their fight against European colonialism and white supremacism.

I... no, honey, I wasn't actually talking about men there, I was talking about how you're deflecting criticism of Israel by equating it to criticism of individual israeli's, by connecting your comment to the MRA movement's constant cries of "not all men" when feminists say things like "1 in 4 women have been sexually assualted". It's not an incorrect statement in itself, but it isn't any more relevent or helpful than me saying I wasn't involved in the 1943 Bengal Famine, so it's not fair to say Britain killed millions of Indians.

Oh, and you are? You're in here pulling a "not all men" about criticism of Israel.

OP said it was invincible, not that it didn't have a special weakness - you're assuming extra context that wasn't mentioned, when, as you say, the type of game, in game context, and additional conditions like a special weakness can make it entirely appropriate to have an invincible NPC.

Yup.

I see this happen a lot when viewing new through the Sync app, so I assume its a Lemmy issue.

No, the reason they're going to hit a dead end is because you tried to ressurect discussions that finished literally years ago - discussions started by now inactive accounts, replied to by people whose answer won't have changed. You posted 4 TIMES asking people whose discussions had established there was no 2fa hardware support if there was 2fa hardware support - they had already said no, and you came in between 1 and 6 years later to ask again.

Instead of starting a new, visible discussion on the steam community, where topics are boosted by recent interactions, and it will be seen by the most relevent people, not just the randomers coming through google looking for the same answer as your, but for some reason you chose to ask people who have forgotten they ever needed help with this issue if they ever found an answer.

Lastly, I want to point out how fucking stupid and infantile it is that you're not only asking the question again, but asking in multiple year old discussions: Steam has repeatedly said that Steamguard is their 2fa, and that's it. Your "bu- bu- bu- i'm important i need hardware to stop evil hackers from targetting my vibeo gane" is absolutely irrelevent to them, a position they have not been secretive about.

Why not?

Highly unlikely for an individual isn't the same as highly unlikely across a population. 0.1% is only one chance in 1000 - rolling the same number 3 times in a row on a 20 sided die has a probability of 1 in 8000, but you'll find loads of stories of it happening because there's a lot more than 8 thousand people who play D&D.

Your chooks are rolling along the edge of probability, but there's more than 1000 chickens in the world so the probability someone will hit that jackpot is close to 100%.

Jesus dude, you resurrected a 6 year old thread thinking it would still be relevent?

Anyway, you're lucky you didn't get banned for spamming - next time, make one (1) new thread about the subject instead of commenting on multiple dead discussions.

Good range of spices - preferably slightly more than they have enough room for.

One of the dice packs on foundry is a "DM dice" that displays multiple 20's, "TPK", "DIE", that kinda stuff, but outputs as normal to the chat. I like using it for bosses to scare the players.
