Ok, I'll throw my hat in the ring.

Metagaming is fine, actually.

Obviously, don't read the module you're a player in, but knowing to use fire on trolls is just basic game knowledge. It's ok to be good at the game, because it is a game. If you're playing dungeons and dragons, or pathfinder, or any other rpg that spends most of the pages on combat rules, then you're playing a tactics game. I like tactics games (I'm not good at them, but that's a separate conversation).

I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to come up with a brilliant plan to do a thing, and then be told that I'm not allowed to do it because me figuring out the puzzle is metaknowlede.

It is exclusively in the tabletop rpg space that being good at the game is considered a bad thing. It's in a similar vein that I hate tutorials in video games, especially when I'm being prevented from doing things that I already know how to do (because I've been playing games for multiple decades now and I have some amount of media literacy) for no other reason than the game hasn't taught me yet. So arbitrarily, I'm not allowed to use fire damage on the trolls until some npc tells me that trolls are weak to fire? That's asinine.

If you want to play let's pretend with dice, that's fine. just be honest about the kind of game that you're running from the get go so I know not to join your table.

why are you asking for a less granular map? I'd have preferred to give you a more granular map as an increase of detail would just make the point even more clear.

"nobody lives in most of the us" is a factually correct statement.

that's not a counter argument to better public transportation. That's a supporting argument for public transportation.

everything in the dyskworld series is great, you're in for a good time

holy shit that looks bad.

If you have deus ex through steam, you can also get revision through steam and revision looks pretty good in my opinion.

famously, when asked about this nonsense plot, the director said (something along the lines of) "shut the fuck up"

good choice for gaming, sadly not supported by blender

Something I've noticed, and it's consistent enough that I suspect that microsoft does it on purpose, there's a 50/50 chance that your windows instal will either be fine forever without problems, or plagued with constant issues that get worse with every update. 2 identical machines with the same install media can produce very different experiences.

I use linux now, and I no longer do tech support, so I'm glad I don't have to deal with that shit anymore.

anything that takes market share away from google and google controlled platforms. As it is, google effectively owns the internet, and that's too much power for any single company to have.

in my defense, the only True comics that I've seen are the ones posted here since I joined lemmy.

good. this space needs more competition.

 

Essentially, title. Is it ok to ask for recommendations here? Looking to buy a scooter, possibly an ebike, and I don't want to accidentally buy a piece of crap.

Previously, I owned a vsett8, which became inoperable and unfixable the first time it was rained on (I don't have it anymore). Before that, a turbowheel lightning, which I loved until it was stolen.

Now though, I'm on a tight budget and everything is more expensive than ever.

Are there reputable 'buyers guides' that this community can recommend? Or maybe you've had good experience with a model/brand/seller?

EDIT: ok, i've got a list to check out. Thank you everyone. Y'all probably won't hear from me again until I've done the research and made a decision. I'll probably make a new post later on detailing what I've found and how I made my decision. Might be a while tho.
