Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Dannyalcatraz]

You’re trapped in a sealed underground complex that’s controlled by a centuries old malfunctioning “AI”. You must follow its orders to the letter or risk punishment up to and including instant execution. Its orders are often self-contradictory and impossible to follow. Various “high programmers” have access to the “AI” and reprogram it to do what they want. They are the heads of their own warring factions. So the “AI” has the personality of a Cold War Clippy. The “AI” uses agents called troubleshooters to hunt and kill mutants and secret society members. You play as a troubleshooter who is both a mutant and a member of a secret society. Good luck.

You forgot that Alpha Complex (the setting) is operating at very much an Idiocracy-level of comedic malfunction. It’s Logan’s Run as written by Mel Brooks. It’s THX 1138 as warped by ubiquitous manifestations of Murphy’s Law.

All of these ponderous "issues" you are having with "the rules" are intended to be solved with a simple discussion between yourself, the other players, and your DM. If you are expecting the rules to handle that discussion for you, you are going to stay frustrated and disappointed.

Just talk it out. Or send a text. Your game-breaking problems literally could be handled in an email.

Historically, this applies to a huge portion of ENWorld threads.

You often find yourself in situations where the Computer is telling you to push the big red button that has a "Do Not Push This EVER" sign next to it, and you have ten seconds to decide whether you're going to disobey the computer and die, or push the button and die, before you get killed by the Computer for failing to choose within the allotted time period...

I used to have a coworker who looked alarmingly like that guy if he had glasses on.

Actually, I discovered that Ruth Buzzi passed away this year, so I don't mind being roasted. Without her, Joan Rivers, or Gilbert Gottfried doing the roasting, there's nothing Jeff Ross or Anthony Jeselnik could toss my way that would actually hurt.

Better that than roast willie.

Well then, I wouldn't be roasted alone and maaayybe I should stop here.

He looks like a puppet awkward monkey in overalls? Wow, that's a worse roast than anything I could have come up with.
