Bumping for Truth!

Mr. Dressup (Ernie Coombs) was our Canadian version of Mr. Rogers. And was actually Fred Rogers' understudy for years, so he knew his stuff, and was much beloved by Canadian children during his 30 year run as a result.

Even when I played the standard LG human Paladin, and I slagged my party members off for being half-breeds or demi-humans or diabolists, I would have given my life for them, and in the end I did.

In RP terms that's what inspired the goblin I converted to go from our butler to a full blown Cleric of Torm

Hello anons. OP here. I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. But I want to plant a seed of an idea in your heads. I'm hoping that you'll take care of it, and help grow it into a big colorful flower.

It might not grow. And if it doesn't, that's not your fault. Sometimes it's not the right season to plant things. Don't worry. I've got plenty of seeds. We can try again another time.

If you feel like your life isn't worth living for yourself, try living it for other people. There's probably a soup kitchen in your town that could use another hand ladling. The dogs at the local animal shelter almost certainly want someone to walk them and play with them.

I was in your shoes a long time ago, and I know how hopeless it felt. But volunteering changed that. I had people to talk to. People who missed me when I wasn't there. People who depended on me. And all that helped me take off those depressed shoes, put on a pair of sneakers, and start jogging in the right direction.

That's not to say service will fix all your problems. I still don't have a qt3.14 gf and I'm still a good 30 pounds overweight.

But when you start giving, when you start lifting other people up, you show everyone the wonderful things that happen when we all work together. And once the whole world knows the importance of helping each other, sooner or later, someone out there will help lift you up as well.

It's going to be a beautiful flower. I just know it.

To all the people in this thread who feel that their lives have been wasted: if you enjoyed all those wasted hours they weren't a waste. Don't buy into what wider society says about happiness. You don't need the big house, big mortgage, or a wife and children. Just seek out what you want to do. You're your own master. Do whatever nerd shit you enjoy and find people that think like you, and be happy.

He was a big proponent of educational television for children and public broadcasting (in a time when TV was thought of only as a distraction or a best a source of news for adults) and pretty much single-handedly kept PBS (American public broadcasting, responsible for things like Mr. Rogers' Neighbourhood and Sesame Street) on the air.

He also defended recording TV as fair use, which was a contentious issue - broadcasters and tv show producers were arguing that making your own home tapes of broadcasts was stealing their property and cutting into their profits. Mr. Rogers went to bat for recording because he wanted kids who weren't at home when his show was on to have a chance to watch it with their families. If he didn't, home recording would have stopped with the Betamax.

You don't have to give up. There are plenty of folks who will run games online, and you might make some friends that way. If you're shy, text-only games are a little slower, but may be easier for you to handle. Try lurking in the gamefinder thread, and watch for a GM who's running something you're interested in.

If you just don't feel like playing with other people, that's okay, too. Sometimes we all need some time alone, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the traditional games we all love. There's a lot of single player games you could play, from wargames to board games to RPGs and gamebooks.

>>52304185

His childrens' show, Mr Rogers' Neighborhood, is up on pbskids.org/rogers/ if you want to see what you missed.
It was a little slow-paced for me as a kid, so I didn't watch it much, but it was nice to know that it was on, and sometimes if I was feeling down I'd switch over and watch it instead of whatever fast-paced toy commercial I usually watched. It's very comfy.

You probably just became cynical. Good news is it's possible to stop being cynical, just gotta reconnect with your inner child and remember how to enjoy stuff without having to criticize everything.

>>52307871
Oh, it's not cringeworthy to me.
Just, you know, by apparent popular decision somehow.

Oh, that. That's just the internet, and 4chan especially. Ignore them; there's always going to be somebody who hates a given thing, no matter what it is. What matters is if you think it's worth your time.

>>52307707
It's an avalanche of newfags who think cynicism and shitting on this that are generally considered good automatically makes you smarter. Any hope of meaningful discussion has long since been dashed, and the only people who have actually lost anything are the three guys still here from way back in the day.

Not about how bad it is, anon. About how happy we are now that there's a special place for everyone to play make believe as best they can, and for people to talk about different make believe games where everyone has space to have fun.

It's a beautiful day in the neighboardhood.

>>52307657

Do you have any friends you like hanging out with? Maybe invite them for a night where you DM?

You can make your own playerbase. you might even be surprised at who takes interest.

This 100%. The notion of "I prove my intelligence by shitting on things. If I know enough about something to condemn it, I MUST be smart" drives me nuts.

Fa/tg/uys, you want to prove you're smart? Construct a logical argument and acknowledge merits where possible.

>>52308240

That special place is a ghetto, though. They were forced into it, that's not a neighborly way of doing things.

>>52308245
Don't have any friends.

>>52308257
That would require them to invest time and effort into constructing a logical argument when they don't even believe the effort to be worth it.

And that's the trouble, isn't it? Nothing is worth it anymore. Why even bother when it's all amounting to nothing? When even the great pyramids will vanish someday, never to resurface again from the desert?

Why bother when the same cold void is waiting for everything that lives and everything that doesn't?

>>52273936
I like to believe that if society ever collapsed there'd be a religion dedicated to living by the virtues Mr. Rogers espoused. They'd be called the Neighbors and they'd never go on crusade or burn heretics at the stake, they'd just be genuine and content people spreading their good feelings over the air waves.

When your friends are being driven from their homes, maybe you can't fight off the mob. But you can build them a nice new house.

>>52308460

I'd join. I'm not a religious person at all, but if they're genuinly nice and helping people without being obnoxious I'm game.

>>52308568

That is a great idea anon, thank you for providing it.

I too would love a comfy game like that.

This thread cheered me up and I would like to share a nice evening gaming and laughing and having fun with every sad anon here.

>>52308338
You have to make your own meaning. Be kind, even to people who are unkind towards you, and try to leave the world a little better than you found it.

>>52308957
If only I could believe that anymore.

You keep doing you, okay?

>>52308460
We'd get the same thing if people followed Jesus correctly, but we've seen how that turned out. I'm not so sure that the same thing wouldn't happen to Mr. Rogers.

>>52309891

I don't know, it depends on the amount of scriptures these hypothetical Rogers cultists wield. The Bible has a poor signal-to-noise ratio, and you can find a passage in there to justify just about any nasty thing you like, which allows a great deal of drift in the practice of religions that claim to be based on it.

>>52310031
Doesn't help that it sends a lot of contradictory messages (like the whole thing in the Sodom and Gomorrah story where Abraham offers his virgin daughters to a rapey mob and is somehow still the good guy of the story)

Mien Afrikan friend. Best philosophy.

>>52310773
As long as you ignore the fact that, objectively speaking, it's completely delusional.

>>52311929
Is it really that important ?

>>52311974
It is if you want to be intellectually honest. Especially if you plan to criticize religious people, because in reality, their beliefs are no more ridiculous than yours.

>>52308957
I agree to some extent, though my view on life is more hedonistic. I say do what makes you feel happy. If helping others makes you feel happy then good for you. If murdering people somehow makes you happy then go for it. Can't enjoy yourself and want to end it all? I wish you a quick and painless end.

You only have one short life, you owe it to yourself to squeeze what enjoyment you can out of it.

>>52312019
There is no point in being intellectually honest. Most people aren't, like religious people as you said yourself.

>>52308957
But can you? Can you really?

>>52313598
Sure! It's easy to make the world a better place with a pile of dead bodies in your wake - LIKE A TRUE PALADIN!

>>52310281
It was Lot, not Abraham
>The abridged story of Sodom and Gomorrah:
God tells Abraham that Sodom and Gomorrah (which the latter had previously helped liberate) are horribly sinful, so he is going to nuke them. Abraham (who's nephew, Lot, currently lives in Sodom) asks him to spare the city if 50 righteous people are found in them. God says he would, if it were the case, and so the patriarch proceeds to haggle the number down to 10. God humors him, and sends two angels disguised as men to Sodom. They encounter Lot, and being a righteous person who thus considers hospitality to be sacred, he tells them that they can crash at his place. The rest of the city finds out, and all the men, who have no concept of hospitality, decide that they want to rape the travelers. So they surround Lot's house and demand that he send them out so that they can gang rape them. Lot doesn't want to betray his promise of hospitality to his visitors, and realizes that the sodomites won't leave unless they get to fuck someone, so (picking what he regards as a lesser evil) he offers them his daughters instead. When they refuse and try to break into the house, the angels reveal themselves and blind the sodomite men. Since Lot and family (numbering less than 10) are the only inhabitants of either city that aren't assholes, they have Lot gather his family to leave so that God can nuke Sodom and Gomorrah. They're told not to look back while God is raining fire on them, but his wife does anyway, and turns to salt.

Later, in the mountains, Lot's two daughters become convinced that the three of them are the last people in existence, and that it is their responsibility to rebuild the species. So they proceed to get their father drunk, and fuck him in his sleep over the next two days.

How would a water demon protect people from storms? Wouldn't a Sky Demon or a Wind Demon fit better since they could actually divert clouds and shit?

>>52314566

Swim them to safety when their boats get rekted!

>>52314805
But that isn't protection, that's damage control. If it was protecting them, they wouldn't get rekted in the first place.

>>52314566
Cloud are made of water, man.

>>52311929
What's delusional about it? I recognize that we're all just chemical reactions and electrical synapses, that life and the universe has no objective purpose and are we're all here by pure chance. So what? More power to me and to you to decide it's and our purpose for our selves. You like saving lives as a doctor, reveling in the shear fact that you exist, or maybe just playing pretend in the internet? Boom, there's your purpose, what ever it is that makes you happy or that you deem a worthy goal. Why would you need anymore meaning than what ever it is you want it to be?
I know me and any effect I could ever have on the universe will be gone as if it had never happened in a century or two. Big woop, so will everyone else given time. Why should my footprint span the universe and last eternity to be meaningfull? Isn't that just a little (ie: extremely) arrogant? What use will such a thing have after my death? None, save to those who knew me.

It could always scare the storm spirits away or talk to them and ask them to wait before making landfall.

/tg/ is a shell of its former self. new OC is rare, and old popular OC is derided. Our golden era probably will never be repeated. The EPA is probably kill. I don't know how to phrase a sentence in my lab report. Zelda's face in the OP of that other thread. I suspect that I've made ~10% or more of the posts in this thread, but I don't see any (you)s in this post >>52281062 anymore, meaning that there really has been less than 91 posters in this thread; where is everyone who has posted in these threads in previous years? I'm procrastinating on my lab report.

Just a reminder.

Oh, gee, some professor in Lousiana said "muh entitlement," huh? Whoop-de-freaking-doo. Narcissism is caused by overcompensating for low self esteem and a deep-rooted self loathing.

Wow, I'm watching this and there's a lot of unsubstantiated bullshit in this thing, and to cap it all off, an offhanded endorsement of Tony "snake oil" Robbins as an alternative.
Jeez, that was awful.

I'm quietly having a small crisis lately because I've been pretty stressed out, but don't know how to get rid of it. Being stressed and unhappy are pretty routine for me, and usually there's a bunch of things I can do to relieve it, but lately, none of it has seemed to work.

Yo, righteous bump. I deeply respect Fred Rogers for sharing Christian morality the way it's meant to be shared, in love, without malice or judgment. We're all fucked up and we're all in the same boat, so let's be kind to each other.
