The fallacy lies in the implicit assumption that what the majority cares about decides what is important. The logical fallacy is well described elsewhere, and I don't think it pays us to go over it in detail here. You seem to be clinging to the idea that this is about individual users. I think...

What? Archiving has squat-all to do with continuing sales. This is an area in which the digital world has failed to keep up with the implications of its own development. With print works, archival libraries could purchase or receive donation of a copy of a work, and preserve it for future...

Indeed, all of TTRPGs can probably go in the trash right off.

So, argumentum ad populem?

I think he means this in terms of archiving for academic use and study, not in the sense of people actively playing it.

Mod note: Easy-peasy. You need have no fear of exposure to it, since your post here was so incredibly rude, you've earned a ban from the thread. Be better to people.

Well, let me ask you a question - do you think is it possible for a man to have a clash with a woman that isn't driven by his sexism? If you don't feel that's possible, then the discussion ends there, I think. If you do believe it is possible - what, in these cases, indicates to you that these...

Please see Marvel Comics' "Civil War 2" (2016) or Phillip K. Dick's "The Minority Report" (1956) for more information.

And thus my point is demonstrated - being unclear leads to less-than-valuable exchanges. "The subject of this thread is stated incompletely," or "the subject of the thread, as stated, is untrue," are both most certainly opinions on the subject of the thread.

Arguments are not discussion. They are two different processes.

Okay, I can fix it to "...that's a major reason for..." That better?

Oh, wait, let me approach this a bit differently... "What happens at the table is the most important thing..." This is probably true as Reynard here intends it, but it is, as stated false. Most of the actual meat of this statement is unstated, unspecified, or implicit, and only apparent from...

So, there are bad interactions men can initiate with women that aren't sexism. If there had been a third doctor who had panic attacks, a dude that that he let slide, that would be a more clear indicator. But lashing out at someone else who has a behavior you hate in yourself? That is a...

Goodness, gracious, yes. When the interior of the die is too busy, it gets hard to read. Also - I can understand that artistically, it is nice if the ink of numbers "matches" the colors of the die, but contrast is key to legibility. It's a physics thing. Metal dice are typically heavy, and...

Or, it is perhaps better to say, that time hasn't told on that point. Generative AI's tendency to hallucinate is not limited to English language work and poorly drawn hands - it exists in coding packages too. I expect, in the long run, for code quality to drop, and fragility to rise, as you...
