A stupid argument I was having about how DND isn't the best tool for many stories that aren't about combat + resource management. I know people can have fun with anything but it bugs me when people are like "I do a political intrigue game about secret modern vampires in DND 5e" the same way it might bother some of you if someone was like "I put in my screws with a hammer" or "I add up the numbers in my spreadsheet by hand and type them into the totals row one at a time" or "I don't use copy-paste I just retype everything"

Like, it doesn't matter but it bugs me a little.

But I was getting down voted into oblivion so I gave up after someone begrudgingly admitted that yes different games have different focuses.

I wonder if you use a series of controlled taps you can get a screw to screw in with a hammer.
