I just use a value ranking system and rapidly sort variables until I reach the highest possible value.

Women>Men

Pop colors > blending (red is greater than brown, etc.)

Interesting features > bland (So a dude with a scar registers higher than a dude without)

Anomalies > expecteds (a top hat is more interesting than a ball cap)

There's probably some other minor variations that account for my choices. Thinking about it, the preference for women may be due to them having more eye-catching variables than men in most cases, especially with regards to color and accessories.

That would be worse. Anime stylized faces do not work in the 3d space. I'd imagine we'd see a new trend of fancy molded art to match each car's look and personality...

Ah, who am I kidding? Some exec will just put fucking smileys on the car.

disgusting....

Well, yeah, but in the reverse...

"Boss hitting for 90% and sometimes one-shotting me in every fight.

Me and mah boy paladins repeatedly hitting one guy and healing so that he stacks up buffs and one-shots the boss.

That will never happen. What's that saying about republicans and falling in line? I don't think I've heard a really strong, public condemnation of a republican by a republican since John McCain passed. Fox news has, or maybe had, they are losing some viewers to the even more extreme channels now, every republican by the balls. None of them will risk being on the 'bad side' of the party and being hammered where every one of their voters tunes in.

One of the absolute best features of lemmy is that everyone is simply allowed to post.

Voat was batshit crazy, but some of the things done there were done well. I really liked that the 'big subs' were considered voat run, so the moderators didn't get to make their own little kingdoms of folly in the most popular areas. The commitment to free speech was great. It just went down so hard because the first people who went to it were the type to scrawl on the walls of their house in pastel crayon and neon spray paint.

Because DnD did start as a wargame, right? Before the red box came the 50 figure armies. I think there used to be a little history written by Gygax about how they started.

Anyway, I don't mind the focus on combat. I like that roll-playing and role-playing are separated. My favorite groups had no issue with playing their dumb fighter as a dumb fighter, and the smooth talking noble as a smooth talker. I like the approach others have taken, like the social combat in exalted, or powered-by-the-apocalypse system, but it has led to a few players in my groups just wanting to roll the dice every time and not talk at all.
