  • He doesn’t just want them dead, the rich want us dead. Make no mistake, they believe AI was the turning point they needed* to finally no longer have need of the labor of the poor. And they believe the culling of the poor is the best thing they can do to combat climate change (without any personal sacrifice, of course).

    *And no, the fact that AI isn’t remotely the miracle they believe it is does not matter because they believe it is even though they’re wrong. And yes, the rich do believe in climate change, even as they deny it to our faces.

    I’m about to go on a trip so I only have a brief moment to answer this, I’m sorry, but here are some quick picks without having more context to go on:

    fairly obvious:

    1979 by Smashing Pumpkins

    Ain’t It Fun by Paramore

    Raspberry Beret by Prince

    Meant to Live by Switchfoot

    Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

    Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean

    Stop by the Spice Girls

    Super Bass by Nicki Minaj

    I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness

    Here It Goes Again by OK Go

    Electric Feel by MGMT

    less obvious:

    Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash

    All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo

    Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks

    Maniac by Conan Gray

    Closer by Tegan and Sara

    I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc

    Disco Man by Remi Wolf

    Them Changes by Thundercat

    Cocoa Butter Kisses by Chance the Rapper

    Swing Life Away by Rise Against.

    I tried to not give you anything too obscure, but if these are too obvious or if you have a theme or direction to narrow the field I can think on it more and get back to you in a few days, probably.

    edit:

    I didn’t think too much about the first 10 seconds part admittedly again due to limited time, so some of these may be better to play 10 seconds a later section of the song if you’re open to that.











  • Sounds like they’re actually similar to archetypes and I’m just dumb, tbh, but basically in 3.0+ D&D there were classes you could multiple class into without multiple penalty if your character met specific qualifications (different for each prestige class, usually ability score minimum and knowledge of a feat, spell, or spell level, but sometimes specific race or language or whatever). These classes were usually much more specialized and specific than the general core classes, but also gave your character great powers and flair in that specific niche. Or at least that’s the idea when they were well-implemented, which was not always the case, and prestige bloat is often cited as one of the worst parts of 3.0+ as nearly every single sourcebook would include at least a couple new ones (but I never saw this a problem, personally).


  • I’m not either, I just don’t think prestige classes were the failure. Yes, later prestige were one way power creep and bloat happened, but they aren’t inherent to the state.

    That being said, I must admit I’ve only dabbled in PF1 very briefly, so I guess I need to ask for clarity - are archetypes different than subclasses? It was my understand (again, from very far outside) that that was just what PF2 was calling subclasses, and if so, that’s a very different thing than a prestige class in my mind. A part of the appeal of prestige classes to me is worldbuilding groups built of a prestige classes made up of many different classes; I love that Arcane Trickster might have wizard levels, or sorcerer levels, or bard levels, etc… So maybe I’m just out of the loop here - are archetypes class specific or they actually the PF2 class-agnostic viable replacement for prestige and I really should give PF2 a look?
