The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

"Well I don't like it, so obviously it's a problem and we need to fix it. And there can only be two solutions: my solution, and the wrong one. If you disagree, well, I don't like that. So we're back to square one..."

If you think it's a problem, then you need to fix it for your game.

Yep, this is the way.

Not so much here on EN World, but over on Reddit, things can get pretty wild. A thread will go from:

"I made a fun change to the rations in my game, and thought I'd share. Since the player characters all live on the coast, the rations are all smoked fish, hardtack, and dried seaweed! I'm handwaving things a bit, assuming that these foodstuffs have the same shelf life and nutrition as the "dried nuts and fruits" that the PHB describes, and they still weigh 2 pounds. Has anyone else customized the rations to fit their campaign setting?"​

to

"Rations are totally broken. The weight they give is stupid--two pounds per day?! That's absurd, it makes no sense, and completely breaks my immersion. Also, bounded accuracy or something? I know lots of jargon. The whole concept of needing to eat food is dumb anyway, nobody tracks that stuff, and why do you hate your players? Anyway if you really need that much detail, you're just storytelling and you shouldn't be playing D&D."​

in less than an hour, and then I have to log off and go lay down. Seriously, why do people feel the need to take a steaming dump all over someone else's stuff?

Some posters are just irrational, i guess.

It's the internet. Have you ever read the comments to recipes?

"I don't have an actual oven; how do I make this home-made from-scratch pizza using a very hot light bulb?"

"Is there any way to make this banana bread by subbing out the eggs and banana with garlic powder and kombucha?"

"Due to dietary restrictions, I am only able to consume straight gin. I made the necessary changes to this French Toast recipe, and it turned out great! Unfortunately, due to amount of gin I drank, I can't remember what I substituted."

"What's the best way to make a sugar-free version of these Pixie Stix?"

Though I should note that's of limited use if you're not a GM.

That's true. I was presuming someone proposing a fix would be a GM, and that's reasonable (I think) but not strictly a given.
