Funny how the Chinese govt says the show has been “Americanized” when the US gov has basically no say over what Netflix releases.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 1 month ago:
Being based on DnD, it takes a little getting used to, especially compared to most RPG combat that were built for PC rather than tabletop. That said, while the system doesn’t get any less ‘clunky’ it does feel more natural as you become more familiar with it.

- Comment on "looks inside, individually packaged" 3 months ago:
There are many reasons these may be pacakaged this way: from lowering the possibility of accidentally taking the wrong pill to anti-theft.
It would be cheaper for the manufacturer to just put them all in a bottle, so rest assured they wouldn’t do this if the benefits didn’t outweigh the costs.

- Comment on US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now? 5 months ago:
This is not at all how the federal reserve and treasury department work.
The fed does create money, but nort directly. They control the reserve rate,which determines how much banks can lend over backed deposits, which in turn affects the amount of currency(not just physical but also digital) in circulation.
They can also issue or absord treasury notes and bonds to impact money supply, though this is fairlysmall compared to the first method.
Lastly, the treasury can print physical, paper or coinage money. This called “fiat currency” by the way. This, however, accounts for an even smaller portion of the moneg supply than bonds.
In short, the government cannot, does not,and will not simply “create money from nowhere.”

- Comment on Why are prices of everything higher in cities? 8 months ago:
Probably the largest factor is cost of overhead.
What that means is, while the products themselves cost the stores the same amount to but inventory, it costs them more to actually provide them to customers.
Rent is higher, both for retail space,and storage space. Labor is more expensive,because workers living in cities need higher wages to live. Transportation is more expensive, because railways and large trucks are more difficult (or impossible) to use in downtown areas. And lastly, the owners need to make more to live in these same conditions.
- Comment on Total War May Want to Take the Dungeons and Dragons Universe for a Spin 8 months ago:
I feel like DnD is really geard toward small group combat…i feel like epic battles of armies would feel very out of place in the forgotten realms
