DSA is a shit system, so it makes perfect sense that he'd gravitate towards equally shit mechanics. It's in his blood.

Is a single object in this picture not soy/hipster? This is staged, but also intentionally staged. It's attentionwhoring and soy-signaling to the highest of levels. He's a bigger faggot than actual homosexuals. That's actually unreachable levels.

Why is he in a Discord channel called "cp-planning"? Given Discord's reputation, I don't suppose that's anything good.

At least he's not using a Mac?
Oh, you didn't catch the irony there, did you? Too subtle, perhaps? Here's the explanation: a Mac would've been "just hipster". Soyer is post-soy, he's using the most junk brand monitor Acer ironically, you see?

People who use monitors vertically trigger me.

People who drink german weiss over witbier just for the sake of it being german trigger me just as much, as the later is better than the former in every possible way.

Industry veteran spends years reinventing the wheel, still can't get it right.

That is the tragedy of PoE and Soyer.

Josh really, genuinely, doesn't have a clue why something he designed is good or bad. Which is frankly embarrassing after decades of system experience.

Generally speaking he is prone to overanalyzing and wants to please everybody.

It's not surprising an autist has no idea about human emotions or thought.

Bavarians may be barely civilzed Germanized Celts but they do know their beer.

I block twitter with this. But Jesus I hate his tweets when I check things by phone. I'd rather you just say "Sawyer just tweeted inane bullshit" rather than posting the fucking tweet. Even if it's blocked, I get annoyed because I know it's twitter and with him it's pretentious bullshit or something else. Basically his autistic ass faking human feelings and doing it poorly.

Infinitron being an obsessive psycopath, finds anything to do with the devs extremely entertaining and thinks that everyone else does, too. Retweeting it makes him feel closer to them. Imagine being starstruck with absolute random idiots like sawyer. Calling it a simp doesn't even begin covering it. If sawyer so much as farted, Infinitron would push his grandma aside and run to get a smell.

No he doesn't. He is just looking at what others believe to be funny and aping it. He's not even a true Lizard person invader replicant. They kicked his autistic ass out and dumped him here to fuck with us.

, I hope this game is so unbalanced and idiotic it sucks.

> Unbalanced
> Sawyer

Chose one. It will probably be balanced as D&D 4E ie - everything is the same.

It looks like a really tanky ruleset.
The huge attack that killed one of his guys did 1d12+3d6.
That is 16 damage average. All his doods have above 30 hp.
So even if you do an all out super duper attack you only take about half someone's hp bar on average, which sounds very par for the course for the pillars balance.

We are talking about Sawyer, be glad to not see 666+ hp in lv 1 mobs there.
