Discussion How does BOTW do it? How is it so bloody immersive? :)
I’ve always been a cynical skeptic, contrary and acerbic by nature, I feel that anything that’s immensely popular and gets rave reviews is probably nowhere near as good as it purports to be…
I always thought “meh, BOTW is just another mediocre adventure game with pretty graphics, pretty, but shallow” (I’ve never been a Zelda fan, not an RPG fan…)
I was wrong, at least in this case…
BOTW is an amazing masterpiece, the gameplay is so immersive, so engrossing, it slowly draws you into the world of Hyrule, and before you know it, it’s 3 AM (thankfully it’s the weekend, who needs sleep anyway? ;) )
The open-ness of the world is amazing, solutions to most problems are not scripted, and are open to interpretation… can’t get past that camp of Bokoblins blocking the road at the bottom of the hill? Climb to the apex of the hill, conjure a round bomb (the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?) roll it down the hill into the camp from safely atop the hill, and count to five! No, wait, …three!
And someone tell me how a 5.5” LCD screen (I’ve got the Lite…) can give me vertigo! Make me hold my breath while climbing a mountain, and just generally cause a height related ‘pucker factor’ when I’m lying on my bed, which sits solidly on box springs on the floor and is only about 2’ off the ground?
Climbing the Dueling Peaks to Shee Vanderbilt shrine is literally breathtaking! I just wish I was a tenth of a bit as fit as Link, is it normal to be envious of the fitness level of a group of pixels on a screen? ;)
Climbing that peak, having to balance grip, endurance, and the cold (Red ChuChu jelly seems to work serviceably as a heat source) had my senses tingling…
I know I’ve barely scratched the surface here, but this is the most immersive game I’ve ever played, it’s worth every accolade it’s received…

It’s not a “tip,” it’s a BID for service.
The customer is not tipping the driver before the service, they are bidding for a driver to pick up and deliver food to them.
If you want to hire someone to paint a room for you, would you expect the painter to perform the service for you and then hope that you pay them? No
Legit drivers are not going to pick up and deliver your food and hope that you pay them for the service. Just the same as any type of contracted work.
So yes, it IS up to the customer to provide a decent and fair wage for any type of work they are receiving. This is why if you don’t provide a decent bid (“tip”) your job won’t get accepted. And if it does, chances are you will have a shitty “painter.” You get what you pay for.
Delivery apps provide a PLATFORM for customers and contractors to conduct business. This is why the drivers are not employees for the app.
You are not “tipping” before the service is provided, you are BIDDING for a service to BE provided.
It’s really not that difficult to understand. These constant circular arguments about “tipping” are completely irrelevant.

Opinion This HC race controversy is dumb
Why do people care about this bad try from blizzard to earn more Ultimate preorders at the last minute, making it a P2W marketing shit?
The reward itself is bad, a leveling race is dumb as F because the objective is reached faster by people who group up and speedrun the game without sleeping during 32H at least, people will absolutely not take their time to discover the game, the lore and the content, they will just bash monsters during hours and take the most optimised paths.
They will ruin their first playthrough with the full game they bought for 80$ by skipping all the lore, all the dialogue, all the cutscenes, just to have a name on a statue, no one except the 1000 guys themselves, would give a fuck, in a blizzcon event where only US residents who paid hundred of dollars would participate and where absolutely no one would even take his time to read all the damn battle tags on the statue. I usually love speedrunning and I watch this kind of content everyday, but I find this insulting that Blizzard did not even made a cash prize for the Top 10.
It's a cringe event and people get mad about it, I don't get it.

Discussion Random rant: Movies are too long now.
I am 51 and growing up most movies were 90-120 minutes. If a movie approached 120 or went over they were telling some type of epic story and they had an intermission.
Now everything is just too dam long, poor writing, over explaining... The fact that as I get older I seem to need to piss more often does not help.
Also, studios seem to be going back and editing older movies to include cut scenes. Conan the Barbarian (the 1st one) was and still is one of my favorite movies, but a version I purchased seems to include scenes that are not in the original movie. I most likely purchased a director cut and not realized it.. but man it is annoying.
Sorry, this may be an "Old man yells at a tree" moment.

Pytania i Dyskusje Podejście "jEsZcZe zAtĘsKnIsZ Za sZkOłĄ" powinno się leczyć na psychiatryku
Moja reakcja jest prosta: Czy was powaliło!?!
Wstajesz skoro świt, mimo że budzenie nastolatka o 6 na 7 do szkoły to jak budzenie dorosłego o 4 nad ranem. Pół biedy, jak na 8, no jeszcze możesz się troszkę polenić i ogarnąć do szkoły. Ale jak idziesz na 7:30, to ledwo żyjesz. I to śnieg, deszcz czy kurna nawałnica, czy powódź, czy śliskie chodniki, czy jasno czy ciemno. Jak szkoła jest daleko, to jedziesz autobusem, wśród moherów, które niby takie stare, niby niedołężne, ale nawalają jak Ruscy na Berlin jeżeli chodzi o wchodzenie i wychodzenie z busa lub wchodzenie na puste miejsce. Jeszcze te same parszywe ryje sapią "Teraz ta młodzież to tylko w tych telefłonach" albo "Skąd tu tyle gównażerii, nie ma jak toreb położyć. Wszędzie te plecaki". Z uśmiechem numer pięć ustępujesz miejsce.
Jak przychodzisz, to wkładasz kurtkę do plecaka lub nosisz ze sobą, ewentualnie po reprymendzie nauczyciela "kurtkę do szatni albo jedynka! (mimo że nie może dać jedynki za zachowanie, ale o tym za chwilę)" odnosisz ją do szatni. A to, że o 12:50 kończysz lekcje, a o 13:03 masz autobus na przystanku oddalonym od szkoły o kilometr, wcale nie zwalnia cię z narzucenia kurtki i biegu na przystanek, tylko musisz iść do tej szatni, przepychać się między innymi ludźmi, wyjść i sprintem na przystanek. Obrabiając ją ze wszystkich wartościowych rzeczy bo przecież kartka "rzeczy pozostawione na własną odpowiedzialność (co jest niezgodne z prawem oświatowym)" zwalnia szkołę z jakiejkolwiek akcji względem tego, że zajumano ci bilet miesięczny, portfel, a innym nawet telefon czy worek na WF.
Idziesz do swojej grupy przy klasie. Zmieniasz parę słów z równie zaspanymi. Każda klasa dzieli się tak samo, na grupkę normików, grupkę animu, grupkę tzw. złotych dzieci, grupkę bananowej młodzieży i grupkę spierdolin, wszystkie nienawidzą szkschty. Zgraną klasa, tak jak na polskiej scenie politycznej, tylko jak jest bardzo źle, lub do wspólnego profitu. Tymczasem do klasy idzie popierdzielający sobie 20 minut samochodzikiem z klimą i ogrzewaniem, z kawusią cieplutką, i dziennikiem w łapie, nauczyciel. I niszczy ci dzień, tłucząc do głów niepotrzebne nikomu pierdy. Wyżywając się że swoim kompleksem niższości na uczniach. Bo jego brat złapał Pana Boga za nogi i robi w zawodzie, a jemu zostaje siedzenie na dupie i uczenie dzieciaków. Przez co jest obrażony na całe życie mimo dodatków do pensji i statusu urzędnika. Chociaż też do nich niewiele można mieć, bo też są ofiarami systemu. Nosisz bluzę z kapturem? Uwaga. Używasz telefon w niezawsze złych celach? Minusowe punkty. Załatwiasz swoje potrzeby fizjologiczne, pijesz wodę, jesz, idziesz do toalety? Jedynka, niezgodne z prawem oświatowym, bo ocena z zachowania i z przedmiotu to dwie różne oceny. I te teksty które nie zmieniają się latami. "Nie umiesz, spokojnie Kowalski, ktoś zamiatać ulicę musi" "Co się tak śmiejesz/Co tak mówisz? Powiedz nam" "Zrobię wam wejściówki, bo są na studiach" "A mnie nie obchodzi, jak będziecie marudzić to Dan wam więcej do domu" "Wyciągamy karteczki, będzie niezapowiedziana kartkóweczka" i Creme de la creme "Jesteś zdolny, ale leniwy". Do jełopa, który naprawdę jest jełopem, który po liceum będzie kraść węgiel od PKP Cargo, do złotego dzieciaka, wkuwającego encyklopedię, ale nieobudzonego na tyle, aby o 7 rano poprawnie odpowiedzieć przy tablicy. Do gościa który wie, że to marnuje miejsce na partycji /Muzg/Dysk:C/system 64. I do lenia, który ma wyjebongo na to co mówi ten stary śmieć. Jak nic nie mówisz, to "A co ty taki cichy co, może ci ocenę z aktywności obniżyć", a jak wychylisz się z tłumu i powiesz coś logicznego, bądź kontrargumentując nauczycielowi to "Ty nie bądź taki mądry".
Wszystko na schemacie linii produkcyjnej. Rób A, i B. Podczas C możesz jeść. Zrób D. Nie rozpraszaj się. Kurna, nawet dziecko widzi, że coś tu jest nie tak.
Matma. Uczysz się jak obliczyć to. Albo te zadania, gdzie pan Tadek kupił 2137 puszek farby, a ma pokój o wymiarach 40 m na 8000 cm. Oblicz ile mu zostanie i jaka by była siła supernowej Betelgezy.
Polski. Czytasz wiersz i masz zinterpretować "Jestem w tobie zakochany, ale czy ty mnie kochasz". I to nawet nie jest już domena nauczycieli, to jest już w podręcznikach. Dowód. Uczysz się wykresów zdań, jakby do czegokolwiek było to w życiu potrzebne.
Anglik. Uczysz się wątłych podstaw języka, w większości Simple Present, Present Continuous, Present Perfect, i inne Simple Past. A jak już są rozmowy, to wygląda to tak: "Jak, hał ar ju?" "Emm, no nie wiem, yyy, gud, gud" "Du ju lajk emm, pajnaples" "Emmm" "No weź mów cokolwiek baba się na nas patrzy". I jeszcze bycie do tyłu z materiałem. Więcej nauczyłem się oglądając Youtubea niż w szkole.
Religia. Raj dla konserwatywnych nauczycieli. W zależności od nauczyciela, to będzie albo niebo, albo piekło, haha haha bo niebo i piekło to od religii śmieszny żart.
Nauki twórcze czyli plastyka i muzyka. Historia i nurty lub rodzaje sztuki i muzyki niewiadomo po co, owszem niby się uczysz ale jak ktoś jest uzdolniony to może to ćwiczyć poza szkołą, a jak ktoś jest no gorszy, to to będzie tylko się nudził, i tak nic nie zrobi, będzie się denerwował i potwierdzał w sobie to stwierdzenie że jest do niczego.
Nauki ścisłe, technika, biologia, historia itp. Po co się tego uczyć. Z tego tylko technika i biologia jest przydatna, bo jazda na rowerze, technologia, internet, oraz nauka o chorobach. Chociaż w liceum to jest genetyka i biotechnologia, które są ważne, ale zero anatomii i fizjologii.
Informatyka. Bastion internetu w szkole. Ulubiona, często wolna lekcja dla uczniów. No ale często to jest tak, że narysujcie sobie rysunek, laurkę, plakat czy tam coś, i dajcie mi święty spokój. Pół biedy jak Word czy Excel, bo jeszcze się przyda. Ale nie jesteśmy w latach 00. Gdzie internet to coś o czym się słyszało, a Google, tutoriale na Youtubie i fora pomocnicze to były w powijakach. Chociaż biorąc pod uwagę co większość nastolatków ogląda na Tiktoku i YT to jednak się przydaje. Hit to programowanie w SGP 3 Baltim.
WF. Zwykle to było bieganie, często w upał, lub w zimno. "Nie musicie się tak mocno ubierać" (Tymczasem ubiera się w 4 warstwy ubrań). I jeszcze "Macie piłkę do zbijaka i grajcie". Jeszcze WF jest dobrą okazją dla wielu, żeby się z innych pośmiać (za chwilę).
Sytuacja materialna. Wiceminister Piontkowski mówi że szkoła jest nowoczesna. Tak nowoczesna że w kiblach nie ma papieru i mydła. Jak chcesz żeby dziecko zdali maturę to kupujesz prywatne korepetycje i kursy. I te głośne jak sam skur... dzwonki. Jak pod takim przechodziłem kiedy dzwonił to mi się wdrążal w uszy.
I jeszcze te szkolne dramy, gdzie masz problemy egzystencjalne, a nauczyciele nawet jak są 4 metry obok to nie słyszą i nie widzą. Idą spać albo w tryb Standby. Przykład. Jest u mnie w szkole taki chłopak, który wziął przykład z toksycznej matki i stał się wersją 2.2. Robił mi pokrzywkę, gonił mnie i groził, nauczyciele obok - chuj, walić to, rozmowa ważniejsza! Nawet jeśli powiesz, to poza "Nie obchodzi mnie kto zaczął (a właśnie, kurna, powinno)" i "Macie się przeprosić" to nic. Chociaż czasami się zaczynałem, ale nic poważnego. Ale w większości przypadków, w szatni na WF, ni z gruchy, ni z pietruchy, zrzucano mi plecak, często mi go zanoszono do innego pomieszczenia, czasami też i worek, lub ubrania. Nabijano się że mnie żebym powiedział coś z "R" (Nie umiem wymówić tej głoski) i później mówili np. "Łyba" "Łok". Jak wreszcie inba się rozkręca, to okazuje się, że uczniowie są mądrzejsi od dorosłych.
Jak wracasz, to jesz obiad lub obiadokolację, chwilę odpoczynku, i uczysz się niepotrzebnych nikomu rzeczy. I te pierdyliony zadań od nauczycieli "To wprawdzie nie jest obowiązkowe, ale jest fajne, no to będzie na następnej kartkówce". I rodzice, którzy nie zauważają, ŻE DOM TO JEST KURNA DOM, A NIE DODATKOWA SZKOŁA, "No ale przecież systematyczność, i powtórka".
Podsumowując, szkoła to najgorszy okres życia. Marnuje czas, i energię na głupoty. Przed szkołą jesteś nikim, po szkole jesteś starszym nikim, po studiach masz szansę być kimś, ale większość ludzi, nadal jest nikim. A totolotek spierdoxenia trwa. W wakacje i ferie, jak do starego przyjaciela wracam do hobby, czyli rysowania, i odpoczynku w internecie i grach.
Jedyne co dobre to poznawanie przyjaciół, wszystkie akcje, itp. Wielu przyjaciół poznaje się w szkole.
Każdy kto twierdzi inaczej, ma tendencje do bycia psychopatą. Najlepiej zostaw downvote i opuść ten subreddit.

Discussion Racial flight IS overpowered, and all of these counterarguments are wrong:
Whenever someone complains about flying you get a number of counterpoints that sort of ignore the bigger picture, and it's hard to force myself to take into account all the details in one go. So here they are as I see them, many of the counterpoints against flying being overpowered and why I disagree with them.
You may find that not all of them are true in your mind, but disproving one or two of these is not enough proof do do away with the issue.
📒Knocked prone = falling to death
Yikes. People treat this like some sort of Mike drop moment This makes combat extremely swingy. So we go from flying being overpowered to nearly instant death. This almost feels like it's a massive punishment to flying so in all honesty most would not suggest using this type of thing too frequetly at the risk of being accused of specifically targeting that character (you will be). Players might even say that they are fine with it ahead of time. But they rarely hold to that when the time comes.
Additionally, the ways you can limit someone's speed are often specific and limited. It's not like these abilities never appear, but if all the sudden they do then that's going to be a giveaway
That is unless you use it sparingly. But if you do... It will barely be useful anyway.
However, this also assumes that the character in question is both in range and has weak enough saves that can be targeted. Things like nets and bolas in my experience both never see play and are weak... When someone is even in range. 20/60 range for a bola? You're going to be attacking for disadvantage for sure. Might as well shoot a bow. And the save is only 10 strength? Assuming a character with +0 strength modifier and saves, and assuming you are shooting at disadvantage (bolas) you can at max expect to hit half the time and the save with only fail half the time. That's 1/4 chance to actually do anything if you can line up a shot. Just shoot some arrows at the guy.
What about walloping arrows? Firstly, I didn't know those existed until some tried to argue about using them on flying characters. Seeing as I've never seen these used before, I would 100% accuse you of targeting me if you whipped this out on me as a player. Never seen it before and will probably never see it again. It's like it's tailor made for flying characters... Still a DC 10. Maybe you'll get knocked, eventually.
If I'm not mistaken fall damage is 1d6 per 10 feet. If that's the case then a character flying at at level of 15ft above ground isn't in that much danger. That means if they did fall they'd be taking 1d6 fall damage and if you REALLY have to be petty about it then that would be 2d6 at max. The average damage there being 7 damage. Now if you are in the business of cheesing flying characters, they will learn real quick that this is the sweet spot of where to be to avoid any real damage punishment.
You might say that this is really risky at low levels and I would say DUHH. You could die at level one to being spit on by a llama my guy. However, this will be only after your speed reaches zero or after you are knocked prone. If the net result of that is 7 damage the you might as well just shoot at them or throw a rock or something.
Additionally, as you move up the levels this amount of damage is negligible
Lastly, this only solves a part of the problem. It can only really be applied to combat. Anything else and it generally doesn't work
📒Use ranged weapons Oh nah! It's not that simple.
Firstly let's recognize that as of last year only about a third of the monsters in the monster manual and the additional books have ranged options. And for most of them that do, the ranged options are weaker.
Now I know what you're saying: but the DM should snap his magic God of creation fingers to give almost every monster and enemy a longbow, and that the terrasque should magically have access to infinite massive boulders to throw with the exact same pdr as his whopping five melee attacks.
This effects everyone, not just the flying character. The reason so few monsters have decent ranged options is to make them come close and pose a threat personally. To solve this problem, a lot of enemies would need their ranged options added or buffed and they would have to be strong enough to he worth it -- otherwise it's mathematically easier to just jump the characters allies.
Even worse is if we actually give the enemies these buffs. Now all the sudden melee Martial builds are even more garbage than they already are. If ranged attacks have no mathematical opportunity cost to use, there is no reason for enemies to risk hp and such to come into close range.
Do you know who doesn't need melee viability? Casters. BOOM! You've literally made caster comparatively more powerful. most spells are ranged anyway, and some of those ranges are huge even without spell sniper. They probably don't care that much.
The worst issue here is that we now expect the DM to do EVEN MORE work than he already has. This will be one of many excuses to add to the workload of the DM. it certainly won't be the last in this campaign. The goal of running the game isn't just to make a good experience. It's also about doing that without breaking your back needlessly. DMs don't always need to be coached on the million and one ways they can solve a problem. The just need less problems.
📒 weather
Yes. This is an incredible solution that makes sense and isn't hard implemented. I actually love this one except for two issues. Firstly, it's extremely circumstantial. It can't be bad weather all the time, unless you set it up in a really believable way. Additionally, it doesn't work indoors or in caves unless you to some real bending over backwards. For what it's worth though it's a good and easy solution when it applies... Unless you make it subject to an easy save.
📒 Don't ignore strength
This actually helps the issue, however it's not a magic cure all. It also reopens the dialogue on why people ignore strength to begin with. Probably because it... Makes the game more complicated. Still though I think it helps to prevent the flyer from using strength based abilities or carrying things. If he isn't doing much of that, or if he's a caster or has a back like or caravan it largely doesn't matter.
Whole we're on the subject, pray the flying character isn't a caster. Even if you think neither is overpowered, putting two nearly overpowered qualities together won't end in something balanced.
📒But horses are equally useful.
You kiss you mother with that lying mouth? majority of players don't even use horses for obvious reasons. Barely any hp, can't attack on the same turn. Goodness forbid the horse has to make any form of save. Any combat involving a horse of non boss monster variety results in the horse being the first to go down. really easy way to depower an enemy. Where as flying characters can fly until zero hp, a player with a horse only has it until it dies. And that bad boy doesn't respawn like in a video game. And please don't pretend that land travel at high speeds is equally as useful as flying. It is obviously terrain dependant, where a flying person can avoid ground bound obstacles, horsey boy has to go around them, spending however much movement is required. Ground bound traps effect a horse as well. How well can your horse climb? A flying character has perfect climbing skills... Because they are immune to having to do it! Can your horsey boi swim across a surface of water to get to the other side? Probably not better than my wings that can fly across.
📒 Familiars are equally useful
Firstly it's not the same. Maybe nerf those too? Classic example of something many DMs find tedious to work around. Not absolute in it's power, but it is incredibly annoying on a great deal of fronts. Naming some other thing that gets under peoples skin doesn't make them both less problematic. Moreover, flying is still easily worse.
📒 It only solves problems for one character
What ever the hell that means. People behave as if this wasn't immediately apparent. As if other players not having it magically negates it's usefulness? If only one player is playing a class that this overpowered, does that magically discredit it's lack of balance. Why is this argument exclusively used for flying?
Moreover, players not being able to be hit by some things will just put more pressure on those who can.
This also brings up an entirely separate problem that compounds with it. Some players agency is actually too high. That sounds crazy I no know, but many players -- specifically casters -- have so much utility, damage potential, social interaction spells and whatever else, that they can basically just run off on their own and do whatever unchecked. I've seen plenty of occurances of caster players just ditching the rest of the party to do solo mumbo jumbo, solving every problem they come across by snapping their fingers to cast a spell. Fly makes this worse because that's a whole level three spell for free, and increases their incentive to do so because it's costless and doesn't need concentration. Even on a Martial build it further incentives people to go off on their own -- especially if the other players can't follow anyway. People think that the flying player is just going to stand around like an NPC or only go somewhere if the others can follow, when in reality they will fully utilize that moment to become a main character.
📒Narrow spaces People use these arguments all the time, and in theory they make sense. However there aren't mechanics for this. There is no listed wingspan in any flying race. That's a recipe for debate. Because if a player who really, really wants to fly(aka every character that has flight) sees you making these excuses that don't exist in the game then their patience for that will be very very limited.
📒Low ac, can't wear good armor
This has always been funny as an argument. Like heavy armor is just the bestest thing to have graced the table. But it's simply not. Not the best but remember in most cases you will literally be immune to melee, which gives you an incredible EFFECTIVE increase to ac if you stop to think about it. If you are a caster then this is worse. My guy the idea of casters being squishy has always been a lie anyway. Some of them already get decent armor options independent of heavy armor. Casters also get mage armor and shield, and misty step. Their effective ac is great if they are slightly prepared. Add ranged attacks to both of these and you are in a stupendous spot.
📒 All combat takes place indoors or underground.
This is actually categorically untrue. In my personal experience this is actually the opposite. However this is something that ultimately varies tremendously and is therefore not a valid solution. Sometimes it will be that way and sometimes it won't. Moreover, it's not as off all indoors encounter happen just below ceiling level. If the ceiling is 15 feet up fliers can reliably just effectively hang out on the ceiling. And if not, just staying above the space directly behind an ally solves this issue. If the ceiling is lower than 10 feet then this may actually be countered, but it's not a given that it will be.
Not ever indoor or cave dungeon is narrow and cramped. In my experience there have been plenty of open and sprawling spots because worrying about positioning is a massive headache.
I would also like to take this moment to remind everyone that combat is not necessarily the main issue with flying.
📒Casters counter them 1. Casters counter everyone, assuming they have the proper spells. 2. Casting technically isn't that common. 3. Okay, so now nearly all of my encounters must have casters? Often many encounters are centered around circumstance that causes the creatures and their conditions to vary wildly. Now I have to ignore all that just to challenge this one player?
📒 Don't challenge them. Just let them be overpowered.
This has always been silly. Even in a game where players basically demand to be overpowered, this isn't always as universally good as it sounds. I can prove it too... Because all forms of game balance in dnd and otherwise assume this isn't the case. So why are we changing our minds now. Seriously, a game almost entirely designed around combat and exploration, and both of those things are held up by bubblegum and boxtape? Not memorable. Might be fun cheesing the first dozen encounters or puzzles but eventually there will not be anything gained from it. Moreover, not every player even wants that! It might just be one out of four or six.
Moreover I feel like catering to this idea too much is deceptively toxic. Wanting to be powerful is not the same thing as not having a challenge. If a player wants to be strong with zero challenge then that player is low-key being sort is spineless. Play another game, or accept that you might have to think about your actions and your strategies to at least some extent. I run the type of game that if you at least have two braincells and use them you will probably be fine. Only players that have failed at my table or the ones that want excessive handouts. And it's arguments like these that sort of out people for not really wanting to underact with the came. Just circumnavigate it.
📒 This is only a problem at low levels
Also a lie. People say that because wizards get to use the fly spell at level 5 then that means natural flight is only overpowered until they get to do it. Except that's not really how it works.
Casters get the fly SPELL. It takes one level three spell slot minimum, same as fireball. Flying races don't spend any spell slots. Their fuel economy is unrivaled.
Casters get it for ten minutes. Flying races get it literally forever. Their endurance is unparalleled.
Casters have to use their concentration on the spell, and if they get hit they risk losing it just from taking damage. Flying races use no additional action economy, and don't risk falling just from taking damage. They are da biggest bird.
But let's be frank. What is overpowered is not determined based purely on itself. Often times, a specific combination of abilities is what makes it overpowered.
As you know, casters are extremely powerful. Some of them also don't use medium or heavy armor anyway. So there is already synergy here. Most casters have an overwhelming abundance or ranged moves to use. Sounds like it would be useful for something that rarely has adjacent enemies.
Now, nevermind the fact that flying as a racial trait is stronger that having it as a 3rd level spell. But! What if the already unnecessarily powerful wizards chooses the be a flying race? That would mean that they have an infinite 3rd level spell, resoursless, and they can use it to solves problems and avoid damage (both things that their spell list is designed to do) WITHOUT USING SPELL SLOTS OR CONCENTRATION. That's right, that means they can cast another concentration spell, effectively casting two concentration spells at once. There will never be an opportunity cost or major risk to casting fly again.
Wizards normally don't during battle because it costs a 3rd level slot and getting hit might mean you lose it anyway. These are now no longer issues, on top of casting a whole nother spell of concentration if need be.
Now, the overpowered option is even more overpowered.
📒 "Well, I have flying in my party and it's not overpowered because [DM put in significant extra effort adding in a bunch of stuff to stop if from being a solution to every problem]"
This is pretty much an admission that it's overpowered. If I have to warp the entirety of encounter design, level design, and puzzles to account for flying, it's classically overpowered. This is what we call a centralizing force. Generally speaking, features or abilities in a game that overly centralize the meta around stopping them are explicitly overpowered. This is actually the perfect example of a centralizing force in DND. You don't have to be omnipotent to be overpowered. Just excessively more overpowered than you need to be. Having counters is not disproof of being overpowered.
Additionally, anything that drastically expands my work load is overpowered. Deal with it, because I sure won't.
📒We play for fun at my table
You play for DM headaches more like it. We can have fun without breaking the DMs back. Stop advocating for the players so much that you disrespect the DM position
📒Yeah? Well I'm a DM and I have no issues with doing the work. Other DMs are just laszy!
You are an exception. Just because we can do the work doesn't mean we think it's worth it. I am absolutely meticulous enough to run this game. But largely I just don't think it's worth it. And most don't either. That's why there are so few DMs. Because people wag their fingers at the DMs that are reluctant to break their back over everything little ability or spell that the game would be perfectly fine without, the game as a whole suffers.
A few more things to remember:
📘 Your dm is probably in denial if he says this isn't an issue
This happens all the time in my experience. A session could actively be going up in flames and the DM or the player producing the issue will be shrugging their shoulders pretending nothing went wrong. I've seen games reached a screeching halt and be discontinued because of how difficult the players or their abilities were to handle, only to have the DM refuse to acknowledge that, or deny that there mishandling had any effect in the situation. Then I watch them make a new campaign and do it again.
📘Your dm is probably bending over backwards solving the problem. So if you don't encounter this problem, then this is why.
📘 People refuse to consider the amount of additional work for the DM. Even DMs have been conditioned the think this way. This is stupid, and the primary reason we have a DM shortage as it is now.
📘The worst issue here is that this ability seems to interrupt some specific DM styles more than others. This leads to DMs that aren't specifically having their styles countered will not take the issue as seriously. Just like how a DM who wants an adventure designed around a special plague will he annoyed when the paladin starts slapping key characters with lay on hands instead of going to find the plot hook mcguffin or negotiating for a cure.
TLDR: Flying is busted, and the DMs well-being is objectively more valuable than this measly ability. Remove one to maintain the other.
Edit: I love how people say "just ban it and be done with it" like people haven't been cooked and chastised for doing that for years on this sub. Like if you're out of arguments then say so LMAO.

Other This is what you get for being a disrespectful rider.
Arrived at pickup, rider hopped in my car, I asked how she was doing, she didn't reply (it's cool, maybe she's deaf or whatever). She starts eating in my car, I'm like, ummm , whatever, I can't wait until she gets the hell outta my car. Then at drop off, I see that she's even let a mess. $20 Charge after contacting Lyft. I still can't get over how some people are just so disrespectful. She's even a 5 star rider for 1.5 years wtf!

Unpopular in General People who think self diagnosis is completely invalid have never visited a psychiatrist.
I keep seeing opinions that say self diagnosis is just cosplaying being mentally ill or doing it for attention. Almost always there are mentions of tiktok.
Yall must have never been to a psychiatrist. No hate to psychiatry but they are overworked and dont give a shit about any single patient. They have patients come in, talk to them for 15mins and then decide what that person has based on that little bit of communication and likely a reccomendation from a therapist. Maybe in other countries the field is different but I would bet most experiences go like that. It takes way too long to get an appointment.
Nobody ever mentions the downsides of getting an official diagnosis like not being able to immigrate to some countries. They always play up the upsides like legally getting accommodations. Those accommodations are usually non existent or they bring about subtle retaliation from management/teachers.
A fuck ton of adults would never get an official diagnosis if they didnt self diagnose first. Many people choose to stay at the self diagnosis stage because it works best for them in a world that still doesnt work for disabled people. That's a valid choice and people should respect that. If you doubt someone's self diagnosis take a step back and reflect on whether your perception of that mental illness may be wrong.

About the whole Redfall devs "mocked by peers" situation
So maybe this will be a very bold statement but I don't even care at this point.
Imo bullying might not be something I support but I also cannot defend the Redfall devs when they say "oh we got mocked by our peers for having a difficult launch".
Well, you had it coming. A lot of people are like "nobody gets how much hard work it is to develop a game", but it's like no sh*t, this is why these devs do this for a living and get paid for it. It's not their hobby, it's their actual job. Developing a game is hard work but think of how hard you have to work to make these 70-100$ to purchase this false promise game.
As someone who comes from poverty, I respect people's money, whether it is 5$ or 70$. And when a game releases in an obviously unfinished state with almost no effort made (in animations, in concepts, in character development, in bug fixing, in optimization) but still costs that much, then it disrespects YOUR money and YOUR hard work as well.
Obviously it's not only the devs fault but it's their game too.
Let's say you purchase a washing machine and it barely does the job, leaving dirty clothes, not working properly etc. because the manufacturer decided to cut corners but still sell it full price. And not only you have these issues but everyone else who made the mistake to purchase anything from them.
If this manufacturer demanded respect because "making washing machines is hard" you would just roll your eyes and not care because they scammed you! But game devevelopment is hard right?
I know the developers have deadlines and budget restrictions but they tend to hide behind that excuse way too much and never take any responsibility.
