  • A co-worker had the hypothesis that it (being more prone to anger/aggression) is because your car is like an extension of your house, in a way it’s a bit like your moving home, so you feel more vulnerable and it makes you much more nervous about everything outside of it.

    This explanation makes sense for me, but I never liked driving so who knows.

    Calling them just “fighters” is downplaying. Calling that a simple “culture”, instead using the proper call out like I did, is downplaying.

    You telling me to engage and then baffled that I “dig” is making you look like them more and more.

    It is technically “culture”. It is far from being only that though, and you somehow chose the least incriminating word to describe them.

    That is baffling imo.

    Go check what’s happening on shitjustworks instance currently and say that again. It’s absolutely not just a problem of “posting culture”, that’s downplaying who they are and what they do.

    They’re just straight up toxic 99% of the time and they don’t seem to want to do anything about it. It’s a resounding echo of a sentiment on most Lemmy instances that it is how they act and yet, I still see weird and factually wrong takes like this.

    Not really what you asked, but preparing and improvising aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

    IE, you can prep some encounters, rooms, vilains etc, but mostly on the surface, they don’t have to be predetermined as, for example, goblins in a cave, or the villain can be anyone or even better, you just improvise him towards the end, for a huge plot twist in your players mind, while you just picked what happened to fit the best at the time combined with what you prepared.

    Adapting/reusing on the go what you prepared/envisioned is, imo, one of the best skills a DM can have and work on. And this applies for things you prepared in a previous session but happened to not use at the time.

    I hope that helps.
