At that point why even interact with anyone on the internet.

Nah at manipulative tears turning into anger you leave. If you married such a person you messed up.
OS tribalism again 🙄
While filling out this survey I noticed this isn't how I run games at all. Or how I experience playing ttrpgs.
Each of my games and tables works very differently from a playstyle point of view. Do people run all their games the same usually?
Like realism vs drama, that is a system and table question, not a how do you run your games in general question. If you run a Masks game with the same level of realism and drama as you run The Dark Eye, at least one of your games will feel off imo.
The same is true for most of the questions made. In narrative games the players will have much more agency over the world than in a hexcrawl. One will have cooperative world building, while the other is about exploring the either preset world and/or randomly generated events and locations. The list goes on.
My point: this seems to be written by someone who is used to each table or GM or player having a singular way to play. Definitely not true for the two groups I meet with a few times a month.
It's greed, reckless and a total lack of conscience which is rewarded.
Disabling all push notifications has helped. Also having a watch instead of looking up the time on my phone. Generally doing things in an analogue way sometimes. Its also often more fun but can become an attention trap in itself. Anyone who ever spent 3h making their to do list beautiful knows.
However sometimes it will just happen. It is part of our lives to some extend no matter how good we get at avoiding them.
Clean. Love the bold Highlights.
Makes them also more believable and causes less logical issues.
Once you make someone or something all knowing and all powerful things stop making any sense.
Of course not. They are called personal because they take your personal data.
I don't know the context that spawned this rant. However I think scientists and the scientific community are often way too dogmatic and full of ideology these days. Also people tend to be way too stuck in the narrow views of their field. So in a way I agree that questioning the generally accepted interpretations, used methods and so on is a good thing.
So if someone holds their postulate and interpretation without probable causality as the only truth that is not in the spirit of science.
When acting upon scientific evidence however one often will have to be more pragmatic and some form of consensus has to be reached even if the methods likely can't fulfil our ideas of science. In that regard maybe your views shown in your comments are a bit narrow as well. But it doesn't mean yours wrong.
And about indie gamers.



















I don't really see how the meme expresses that.
