I dunno, mine works fine. Bought it in 2023 so I don't think they've changed the design.
Only issue it has is if you close the lid it will overwater the paints, might as well leave the lid off and they'll only last a few hours.

You two are examples of a new type of subhuman that is arguably even worse than an AI-user -- that is, drooling Dunning-Kruger thoughtzombies who so reflexively go, "THAT'S AI!!" to everything that they end up constantly denying reality.

I hope the AI shitter comes back with more pictures to drive the final nails through your idiot wrists, but he seemed no less braindead than you two so I can't count on him even knowing he's in a fight he can win.

This is a tactile hobby, ai has no place here, especially in a subsection of the hobby devoted to appreciating the pre-digital era of it. You seem the sort of person who would let a far more destructive element into your hobby simply to spite someone you might disagree with. This is not a case of take the good with the bad, it's a case or rejecting an utterly incompatible element & mindset that will dilute pollute and diminish the hobby we love if it is not checked immediately and vigorously.

How do you respond when your players choose to side with a character who is quite obviously, unapologetically evil and meant to be a villain? Typically, unless they leave behind evidence of their crimes, I'll usually let them follow the quest line along until they get killed or arrested somehow.

>(especially the "this is more of a Follower than a Companion" line in the Schrodinger's Imouto option, kind of redundant now they're in a Follower section instead of Companions)
A consequence of the chaos of moving options between multiple sections during the birth of a new one.
> it's not clear whether the whole population of My Paradise follow you or just the brainwashed ones.
>and it's not clear whether the whole population of My Paradise follow you or just the brainwashed ones.
That option is supposed to replace itself every Jump with a new one, like how Nico Nico Knockoff gets left behind because it's funny.
>I'm also not entirely sure if we can *not* get a new Deuteragonist in a given jump, but given this is Himenospia the appropriate answer is probably no...
Mind rapist wife is non-negotiable.
>Red Mom kind of seems like she'd fit better discounted for Human than Wasp, though. Kind of hard for her to do her "control everyone around you" thing if you've already turned them into minions that are instinctually poorly disposed towards her and her minions, and if you take the (rightly, it's hilarious) recommended "overwrite control of other Queens' Soldiers" option for Will of the Wasps, she's kind of toothless?
That Companion section is unintelligible chaos, defined by no reasonable order. That said, being a Wasp is the one that guarantees a reason why she can't just control you. Also, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to build to counter her, she's a Companion, not a Drawback.

The Super Beaver's power surges around the area, as everything turns white. He and the impaled Damned Fishman float in a white void.

"I have prepared for your arrival, Damned Fishman. My power as the Super Beaver allows me to stop the flow of all... even time."

"W-WHAT!? IMPOSSIBLE! T-THAT MEANS...!"

"Yes. I have already created a Time Dam, from before you cracked the /mcyoag/ Dam."

The Damned Fishman watches as the Super Beaver pulls him along through time, back to the Time Dam. All his hard work, growing more and more distant.

"N-No! NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Color returns to the world.

That assumes some effort is made to correctly interpret the data, and im not seeing a latent class analysis. Besides, this categorization is at best descriptive of broad trends in the data, and its not information we can actually use

I propose that players are interested in the game, and their interests will be specific to prefered facets of the game. The likely classes are
>interested/disintrested in exploiting mechanics
>interested/disinterested in character drama
>interested/disinterested in social intrigue
>interested/disinterested in the setting
>interested/disinterested in combat
>interested/disinterested in chaos
>interested/disinterested in puzzles
>contemplative/impulsive playstyle

They aren't discrete. One of my players is equal parts Actor/Storyteller/Thinker/Instigator.

Since we sadly did not get enough people to play the blood bowl game im going to go ahead and toss out my wrap up
if anyone wants to add or rewrite anything feel free this is mainly from Tam's perspective so it can be retcon'd if you feel like i didn't treat your character properly

Honestly I've never really had an issue getting Vemmons in the trash but I also tend to play a pretty aggressive amount so I could be building the deck wrong.

it already had full protection to everything in its other versions, but obviously died to dedigivolve and dp reduction
now it dies to battle as it loses its battle protection but gains actual immunity

its like the least egregious possible usage of it

Build it how you want, but if you want advice, Yuji is bad and taunting is game winning.

It's technically vulnerable to battle but with Assembly it should be able to stack multiple BT21 Tsumemons for a massive DP boost.

Shit it's immune to source stripping from Ken and Davis

the paid dm defenders have always said they help people with no friends, but the last few months they are being promoted as
>fun for friends
>give your dm a break
>let your group try a new system

im talking ginny d, reddit, forum posts, irl in-store. in all seriousness will people fall for this instead of having one of their friends dm

If we're gonna talk seriously, I think a big part of GMing is setting the tone. Be it roleplay heavy, interaction first, over the top, the GM is talking more than most players so how they present things and what they reward with attention will guide everyone else into what type of "fun" the session is meant to bring.

That really sucks, dude. Your friend has my condolences. There might be bias that I think has been brough up, the type of player that can only play if they pay usually aren't that nice to have around.

The store owner used to slip me some cash under the counter when my game grew to 20+ people every Wednesday. He said Wednesdays started being his 2nd most profitable day of the week.
I burned out though after 6 months, it's just too many people even with multiple dms.

OP is talking about paid dms advertising for groups and not random

>if you pay you know it's not normal
I don't necessarily agree with that as a universal. If my roommate says he can totally fix the sink, I am absolutely going to compare the leaky hack job that he does with the results of the plumber that we should have hired in the first place.

What it comes down to is whether or not you view GMing as a service, rather than a specific role in the game that one player takes on. And some people unfortunately view the majority of their interactions as transactional, predisposing them to that perspective. If anything, that's the real danger of paid GMing increasing in visibility--a certain subset of players might start to think of it less as a game role and more as a service that SOMEONE has to provide and that we'd previously been fobbing off on someone in the group. Part of becoming a good GM is honest feedback from your players...which would be a lot harder to get if people who are discontent with the game you're running just suggest switching to a paid GM.
