It’s crazy that they made an emoji for fictional wpreg

It’s supposed to read like dialogue.

COMMUNISM

I think of them like melee cantrips. Not gamechanging, but they add spice to your basic kit and they can synergize really well with what you’re good at. One of my favorites is the soul knife rogue’s knives having vex. If you hit with vex, your next attack is at advantage against them, so it becomes a new way to proc sneak attack that incentivizes active participation, doesn’t penalize you and doesn’t rely on the positioning of allies and enemies both.

First, I found melee combat excruciatingly dull in 2014. While it’s not super different, the weapon masteries in 2024 add enough crunch and flavor for me to find it far more interesting and fun.

Second, druid is my favorite class in terms of flavor, specifically specializing in wild shape, and ‘14 is probably my least favorite iteration of it. I think’ 24 improves upon circle of the moon immensely regarding mechanics and, even if the list of beasts is smaller, the streamlined design to their attacks makes them feel more potent as more than just a chunk of animal flavored temp HP.

There’s also a lot of things that really should have been added earlier as quality of life. Off the top of my head, steady aim for rogues. Tasha adds it for '14 as an optional feature but it really needed to be the default.

Also, cure wounds actually feels potent now. Healers rejoice, you have a reason to use it over the more action and spacing efficient healing word.

I hate the 2014 rules and actually enjoy the 2024 rules so yeah lol

We don’t know if they were bragging or not. It’s pretty common to ask what someone’s job is during small talk. For all we know they literally just said their job title and left it at that.

This title kinda slaps.

That’s the normal size.

It was none of those things actually. It’s impossible to objectively judge our own artworks. We can analyze it, tell others what we think are the strong and weak points, but it’s extremely common for most people, especially when it comes to art, to judge it with a much higher degree of scrutiny that we do not reserve for others.

It’s something I’ve had to work through myself, both with my art and myself as a person. And with that comes an inherent distrust of others opinions of themselves and their work, especially when it’s excessively dismissive or pessimistic.

Those teacher notes still occasionally visit me in my nightmares.

I think your art is probably better than you think. We’re all our worst critics.

Just like me frfr

I saw one just an hour ago on twitch.

Moonlight guide us!

I seem to remember that they only did after backlash to originally refusing to do so but I wasn’t following it super closely. That’s why I prefaced it with “IIRC”.

IIRC a lot of hate comes from their refusal to blacklist kiwifarms after they bullied several people to suicide.

That kinda goes hard honestly.

Wait what? That is some insane lore. Was it sent from fediverse chick accounts??

If that was true, that trend wouldn’t exist in the first place. At least one person had to legitimately hate or at least exaggerate disliking the word for that idea to spread, so it stands to reason that more than one person organically disliked the word independently. That’s not even considering outliers like folks with synesthesia who may perceive the way the word sounds much differently than most do.
