Moshe accepts that his son was misidentified.

What he cannot understand is why Mr Farija allegedly kept shooting at someone who had raised his hands above his head.

Yuval was left to bleed on the street because those standing around thought he was one of the Palestinian attackers.

Listen bud, the article really spells it out to you, you have no right to keep acting confused.

They only probed afterwards because he was white. He wasn’t mistaken for anyone, the soldiers were told to shoot anything that moves.

Get the boots that reduce rocket jump damage and then rocket jump everywhere to get a feel for it. Then take the boots off and rocket jump everywhere until you learn to do it without killing yourself.

All rockets require various degrees of shooting where the enemy will be, rather than where they are, but it also helps to shoot where they might be - drop a rocket just past a corner or through a doorway just in case someone’s approaching from the other side. Worst case scenario you can be confident nobody’s right on the other side.

You can surprise people around corners with rockets, but if they can see you firing they’re probably gonna dodge it past medium range. Get closer so they cant.

Just like you can rocket jump off the blasts, you can knock people around with them. Throw them at the walls behind snipers to knock them off their perches. Knock the scout into the chasm. Separate the medic and heavy.

There are 3 kinds of lie: lie, damned lies, and statistics.

Someone elsewhere mentioned that at least one of the games has a mod to add it in, so I must have used that.

I’m pretty certain that the Prepare To Die edition of DS1 had seperate pause and inventory buttons, so I don’t see why other games wouldn’t be able to do it.

I’m slightly joking, but it’s a lot less than half. My respect for 5e players took a massive nosedive after I actually played it, so I have run a few oneshots that have started with “oh by the way we’re using Pathfinder 2e tonight” because I just told the 5e players we were playing “D&D”.

NGL if you take out what’s left of the resources in 5e you’ll reduce the game to exclusively standing in front of the enemy taking turns hitting each other, instead of just mostly.

The truth is if you want a resourceless game you’re gonna have to play a different system, and if you’re gonna play a different system you’re gonna have to run it. Luckily, it’s very easy to get groups for new systems, because you just tell the 5e players it’s D&D and they probably won’t even notice the rules changed.

Did anyone else parse the headline as an organisation called “Landlords for Israel’s Arms Trade” being shut down, or just me?

That was back when I was on Pathfinder, I’m on PF2e now so merchants and chests are included in the system by default.

When I switched from Roll20 to Foundry I discovered my players hadn’t been recording half the loot I gave them and barely had level 5 equipment at level 10. I had to replace the next pile of loot with 120,000gp worth of character specific magic items to get them appropriately equipped.

If you’re gonna do RP shopping, you gotta establish before the session that’s gonna be what’s happening so everyone can come up with ways to interact with the scenario.

You also absolutely have to (looking at you in particular, 5e) establish availabilities and exact prices beforehand. The back and forth of “how much does X cost -> I can’t afford that” is the biggest waste of time when shopping.

Does BG3 not do random encounters when resting in dangerous areas? The Pathfinder CRPGs really make it worth stretching your resources to the next safe area.

I’d probably encourage earworms I get rather than try to ignore them, so anyone trying to read my mind gets something like this or this or this

Recently played Pathfinder: Wath of the Righteous and Pyschonauts 2. Really enjoyed both of them, the first because I cut my teeth on D&D 3.x and have loved the base system ever since, and the second because it’s a really good follow up to the original. Interesting new powers and worlds, lots of really entertaining characters again, and a surprise appearance from Jack Black. Surprise to me, at least.

Currently I’m working through Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and Vermintide 2 with my best mate. Youngblood is scratching the nazi killing itch, but I think New Order was still the best in the series - the RPG elements just aren’t needed. Vermintide 2 is turning into a lot of fun now I’m understanding the characters abilities better, but I imagine we’re going to lose interest before actually reaching really high power levels.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn has had me sucked in for months now. I know a lot has been changed/improved/added to over the decades, but I can see why it was so influencial on the tactics genre. I nearly have all the postgames spells unlocked, so soon I’ll be going back to the start and taking alternate routes through the story. Possibly with some ogre blade body snatching along the way.

Every mimic encounter I’ve ever been involved in went something like this:

Party: That’s a mimic, let’s surround it and beat it to death.

Also, this is a good way to either run out of arrows or get your DM to insist you start counting them.

It originally referred to a specific meteorological phenomenom that occurs in North America consisting of late warm weather that native tribes would take advantage of to hunt. It’s definition has become more general, and it’s taken the place of similar phenomena around the world, but it’s not related to the concept of taking gifts back.

I’m currently playing DiA and we have 2 idiot bloodknights in the party who regularly have to be held back from attacking the various non-enemy devils and demons we encounter. One of them is Lulu, whose backstory seemed suitable for me to build as a wild magic barbarian, but I think is meant to be much more helpful in the knowledge department than I’ve built her…

I’ve heard good things about Palm Springs from 2020.

I recently played Battle Chasers: Nightwar and was reminded how much I enjoy turn based combat where you can see and manipulate the turn order, like in FFX and an Atelier game I played on PS2. Any modern games, preferably available on Switch, like that?

On a similar subject I’m currently playing Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and there aren’t any Final Fantasy Tactics, FFT:A, or FFT:A2 remakes currently out, so I’m looking for anything that uses the same combat system as them, again on Switch.
