Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter may soon go through

Do you know what is going to be the worst part? Conservatives will say that people moving to Blue Sky etc is dividing the country and pretend they weren't the ones doing the dividing in the first place

It's because Republicans define "coming together" as "uniting behind OUR people and doing what WE say".

The cycle repeats again.

If that was the worst part, not so bad. There's rumbles about the people at Bluesky being another bunch of rightwing deplorables, and I can see the thing going the same way.

Why? High rolls are better for both attacks and saves. In 2E the stats decrease as you improve, but that's because the stat generally represents the number you need to roll to do the thing in some specific scenario.

Like THAC0 is the number you need to roll to hit a target with AC 0. You then subtract AC from THAC0 and if you rolled that or higher you hit. For example, if you have a THAC0 of 17 and an opponent with an AC of 7 you need to roll a 17-7=10 or higher to hit.

Same with saves - if your save vs death was 16 and you needed to roll a save vs death, a roll of 16 or higher was a success.

I swear every time I did a skill check when I was playing 2nd Ed, every time I rolled remotely high it was a failure. And fuck THAC0, just give me a straight DC to pass.

In all seriousness, yeah, maybe X isn't the best.

It never was for a long time. Even before Musk bought Twitter, I was not exactly a fan. The previous owners enabling Trump and his supporters did not help especially back between 2016-2020.
