If you wanted to you could use the WoW interface to sell Amway to people in Orgrimmar. No one would call that playing WoW.

You can create shared narratives with other likeminded people if you hammer out what that looks like or comport with the traditions of the group, but out of the box your character is directly incentivized and DIRECTED to walk into the wilderness and start killing NPC mobs.

I feel like a fruitful comparison could be the RP community that sprung up around WoW.

You could go 1000 hours without ever seeing someone roleplay but you'd have to go out of your way to find, engage with, and learn the customs of a given WoW RP subgroup to get 10 hours of RP in.

I think people get very excited with the "You can do anything!" aspect of TTRPG's and conflate that with DnD as its their probable point of contact with the scene.

That you CAN play D&D for 1000000 sessions and never once swing a sword is besides the point of what D&D is about as a game. All the non-combat sessions and evocative roleplay in the world doesn't change what the content of the game is focused on, what it gives the bulk of its focus to

The fundamental disconnect I am starting to put together here, which I'm sure someone else has long since beat me to, is people keep conflating what you CAN do with a game versus what the game itself actually IS, and do not seem capable of separating the two out from one another
You can roleplay in anything, you can roleplay in fucking Monopoly if you want, and if you see that and go "well that sounds dumb" then congrats, you know what it's like to be told that a game can have 200 pages about combat and two paragraphs for Diplomacy checks and not "be about violence" somehow

People are used to narrative handoff in simulation when it's their guy passing the charisma checks but they are weirdly resistant when they're the ones having the effect of charisma checks imposed upon them

Also a lot of people have the stance (often unexamined) that rules are only for things like combat and never for other stuff, and the idea that you could have a set of mechanics that touch on social or psychological elements (beyond "sanity systems" I guess) feels "wrong" to them

Trans woman and her family here. We're a little short on money to last us until payday on thursday. Just trying to keep everyone fed. The Grimaude family would be grateful for any support.

$50 to $100 USD would be enough.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

My beloved girlfriends instagram page has been nuked to death in the algorithm, flagging completely SFW photos as inappropriate content and killing her reach. Her cosplay work is incredible and deserves so much love. Please follow her IG page, comment on her photos, share, etc. 🖤

one of the most difficult things to do after you've gotten away from an abuser, is convincing yourself that you are not the person they told you that you are

it's the last remnant of the power and control they tried to exert over you, to prevent you from giving yourself the kindness you deserve

Something I try to articulate to folks is that AI isn't a heuristic, conscious entity; it will ONLY behave as programmed. The reason AI doesn't understand anything, gets everything wrong, and lies, is because it's MADE by people who don't understand anything, get everything wrong, and lie
