Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

People are dumb.

It doesn't hurt my feelings. I went with an extremely light presentation for this adventure, and folks who want more of a script for how a game would play out might find it too light. (BD&D adventures are about the level of density I was going for.) I assume that everyone looks at the preview first, but maybe not.

Random rant: A "paradox" is a logical impossibility. It is a contradiction. A concept or concepts that are oppositional to themselves.

A paradox is not just any random thing you didn't expect. It is not something you don't like. Its not just something that is ironic in the literal sense, or in the Alanis Morrisette sense.

I swear 95% or the time I see someone calling something a "paradox" on the internet, the appropriate response is "That's not a paradox, you're just stupid".

Wild how the problem is never in the mirror. It's always out there somewhere.

I thought the problem was in the mirror once, but I smashed the mirror and the problem didn't go away, so it couldn't have been in the mirror...

I swear 95% or the time I see someone calling something a "paradox" on the internet, the appropriate response is "That's not a paradox, you're just stupid".

Actually, "That's not a paradox, you're just stupid" is an appropriate response to about 95% of anything on the internet, particularly when nobody ever mentioned a paradox...
(Non sequiturs rule. Also, stop squeezing my hippopotamus.)

I’ve noticed that. A lot of conversations about just because you (general) don’t understand something doesn’t mean nobody understands it.

I always assume the same, but then I remember people paid over $100 for the first Shadowdark Kickstarter only to bounce off the game for reasons they would have immediately realized were going to be issues for them if they had bothered to look at the quick start that was available for free prior to pledging. I've also seen a few people on reddit make similar complaints about buying Starfinder 2e and how they were disappointed how it was just Pathfinder 2e with a different coat of paint, which 30 seconds of research would have told them that considering Paizo made that a part of their pitch for the game when it was announced and they began promoting it.

Man, speaking of (not really but I will not allow an opportunity to cry go by..)

Western Reaches.

Just World Fallacy is a helluva drug. It makes the whole world seem much more reasonable, except of course whatever tragedies befall the believer personally, which are obviously exceptions to the rule.

Well, I see your company is doing its level best to turn the page after burning bridges earlier this year and claiming everyone was making a big deal out of nothing. The new projects, which I won't create a thread on, look like good ideas, but we'll see how much support you still have among the non-toxic public.
