On the one hand, games should enable you to tell the story you want to tell. If you're fighting against the games rules and contents to make your story work, changing a rule, or even the system you're using, is the right call.
On the other hand, we've all seen stories where the established rules of the world break for a moment to let the protagonist win a fight they'd obviously lose. It's always a low point in the story, unless the story is just bad. The audience starts to feel like there are no stakes because physics will just bend to help the hero win.
If the rules of the system already in use would kill a character, then maybe the story is one where that character dies. It's not the one you planned, but it's the one that's happening.

I recently got on a plane that insisted I download an app to use as my boarding pass, rather than just give me a boarding pass. It was a transfer, and the second flight used a boarding pass. Significantly easier. But I guess the app lets them gather data on me or something.
With a name like that, I will be upset with anything that doesn't include the word "ahyuck!"
It's a rule of thumb, not a rule of law. It's generally accurate in broad strokes, but not guaranteed at a fine level. Generally, it leads to an imbalance of experiences, but some people have more experiences than their age would suggest or are just fine being seen as a trophy spouse, or any number of reasons it doesn't fit.
Actually, if you look inside those plans, you will only find a hasty scrawl of "sexy goblins?"
I have literally never seen anyone else's genitals in the toilets. It's not just easy to avoid, it's difficult to make happen. Either you're in the worst designed toilet ever, or you're actively trying to look at people's junk. Eyes forward, soldier.
Women have a minister to support women's issues in the government. Men get to walk the streets of major cities at night without fear, and get respect and good pay in their careers. As a man, I feel like I'm getting the better end of the stick, even without ministerial support.
Women have been systematically pushed down for thousands of years, and now they have systems to help bring them back up. It's like being upset someone else gets crutches, because you'd like support too. I mean, sure, wear comfortable shoes, but you don't need support as much as they do. I look forward to the day nobody need crutches.
I'm not having any issues seeing stuff on my end. That said, it's a pretty new instance with only 10 posts on the entire site, so you might be seeing empty communities because the communities are actually empty.
I figured you'd get stuck on that.
Our grandfather?
Predict the future, I guess. I just looked at the onion website, so I'm pretty sure I know the news headlines for the next week.
"I know. But I would much prefer if I didn't have to change the rules. Unfortunately, I do, because they stink."
Warner Bros didn't want to make the Hobbit. They wanted to make another Lord of the Rings movie, and had to use the Hobbit for it. The Hobbit is very much NOT a Lord of the Rings story, despite the shared setting. Square book, round movie.
Also, they knew there wasn't enough content, but Warner Bros had to split the profits of the first movie five ways. They didn't have to do that for the second movie, and then they added a third to squeeze out even more.
