    Ever say “Fuck Nazis” and some fuck face goes “Of course you would make fun of conservatives you lib!”.

    Wonderful feeling.

      In my experience they never get it. It is fun to make fun of them. Once they reveal themselves, they become very predictable and even when called out as to how they will respond, they do it anyway like an npc.

    “Politically motivated assassinations”? Should we bring up the comparative list of politically-motivated extremist incidents in the US and see which side is enacting most of the violence?

        The Minnesota ones are particularly interesting. The Democrats had a one-seat advantage in both chambers of the Minnesota legislature. The assassin specifically targeted one Democratic member of each chamber. The Minnesota House is now tied, and the Senate will be tied until Hoffman is able to work or (or Minnesota allows it, I’m not sure) is about to designate someone to vote for him.

      “politically motivated assassinations?” like the two Democratic politicians who were just murdered yesterday in Minnesota?

    Sam’s a real one. The whole group are, but of them all, Sam’s the one I’d least want to go toe to toe with in an argument.

    Dude’s sharp as fuck.

    “I cast that wish at level 9” is a weird phrasing. So far as I know Wish is already level 9, so there’s no other level to cast it at. Older editions had “limited wish” but I don’t believe they had upcasting. It feels very “how do you do fellow children”

      It’s kinda “fellow kids” but also a lot people don’t know the rules of the games they play.

      This one’s a fascist tho, so fuck them.

        DnD is also a game that utilizes table rules pretty much all the time. It’s possible that his DM gave more flexible rules, I know my DM will if you have a convincing argument.

        But also, buddy definitely says “you’re one of the good ones” to his black coworkers

        I love threads where there’s the one person downvoting a benign comment, like “fuck fascists.” It must be lonely on Lemmy for those people. I sure hope it is.

        Suffer being ostracized, downvoting fascist.

          Unfortunately there seem to be a not-insignificant number of accelerationist tankies on various instances, so I’m sure fascists habe someone to hold hands with and trash on the rest of the political spectrum.

      As of this month I am 31 years clean from D&D. And even I knew that wish is always cast at level 9.

      The old 3.5e Epic Level Handbook had 10th level spells, and the rules surrounding their use.

      So, maybe you could use a 10th level spell slot to stengthen Wish?

      I haven’t played D&D this century, and the last Pathfinder I ran was lower level and we only did 1 or 2 actual play sessions before scheduling fell apart. (Also, I’m a pretty bad DM, even working from an existing published campaign; people just want me to be GM because I can remember rules.)

      EDIT: 10th 11th and 12th.

      It’s also already a ninth level spell, so saying he’ll cast it at level nine is meaningless and a failed attempt to establish nerd cred.

        It’s referring to a scene involving Sam Riegel in the first Critical Role campaign. He’s basically establishing he’s a ‘fan’, though also being a Nazi is weird af.

          I remember some YouTuber ranting about this. About how none of these people yelling about how their favorite games are going woke are actual players. I don’t have any evidence either way, but it wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of these folks are just random alt-right wingnuts trying to stir shit up. (Or nowadays AI wingnuts.)

            Kinda like ranting about movies and games “go woke, go broke” and yet these media end up being blockbusters. These alt right and AI shit stirrers have huge backing from billionaires who want to world to end up in fascism.

        Then you don’t need to specify what level it’s cast at, it’s level 9 by default. Get outnerded 🤓

          It’s wish. There are no level modifiers. At least not back when I played. A wish of a wish. 17th level wizard or 34th level wizard makes no difference.

    sigh

    I don’t want to be fair to fascists but the current social context does align leftism with labeling the fascists/GOP as “fascists”.

    Similarly to how 15 years ago someone shouting “let’s go, Brandon!” would make you check that hadn’t been teleported into the middle of a little league baseball game versus now where you just check how close the nearest exit is.

    Edit:

    We know who the fascists are. They know they’re fascists. There’s no reason to act like this was some Rube-Goldbergian word trap that caught out a hidden impostor. This just tripped up an idiot who probably hasn’t mastered walking and using slurs at the same time yet. Their masks have already been torn off ages ago. If y’all think playing coy with fascists is some great, newsrag “SLAM” then have fun.

      I suppose I shouldn’t say anything bad about Nazis, either, since the GOP gets compared to Nazis? Give me a break. Maybe instead of listening for dog-whistles, they should look into why those comparisons are being made in the first place.

        Do I sound like I care that Nazis are malding? If so, pardon me. I’m just saying it doesn’t feel like much of a gotcha to say “they’re answering to ‘fascists’!” when they’re rightfully called “fascist” more than their political party nowadays.
