  • It also could be that I have made it a concerted effort to never see any online advertisements on my network.

    Well ya. This is like saying you don’t get why guns are dangerous and then mentioning how you have bullet proof windows.

    The whole scheme breaks apart if you block the constant images trying to make you buy things. I see it affecting others, no one in their right mind would buy a 100k car if it wasn’t for ads imo.

    This is precisely why I’m saying AI and our surveillance state are completely different issues.

    Yes the surveillance state is really bad and we need comprehensive laws that protect our personal data.

    That being said, what the copyright industry is desperately clinging to has nothing to do with that. Your second paragraph has nothing to do with the first. So I don’t agree with both, I only agree with the first, which is my main point, about how they are seperate issues.

    I’m a big fan of the rule of cool. If they are into something, I will usually be generous with the rolls needed. And a good plan goes a long way. In the end, we are playing together and my job is to make sure everyone has as much fun as possible. I’m not really there to punish them, and winning a fight is actually a lost for me too if you think about it. And I will tell them if what they are trying is impossible or very unlikely, why it is and have them confirm.

    I’m also a fan of organic consequences. Like my players messed up a NPCs shop on a whim. I could of had guards roll in or the npc defend itself with tricks, instant fight, etc. But instead, when they came back a day later, the town had joined together as a pitchfork mob and they had to talk themselves out of it (luckily, the three people they managed to piss off weren’t the most honest and respectable people so a high charisma roll and some roll playing for advantage managed to convince everyone they were lying.)

    That being said, I’m a bit surprised at the down votes and responses I’m getting. I thought it was clear I was joking. I’m not going to take an 8 year olds first DND adventure and turn it into some hardcore permadeath grim dark stuff haha.
