I’d guess it’s a translation issue from Finnish?
That’s what I thought. A better translator might have said “vulnerabilities.”
It does sound kinda D&D.
Not exactly sure where this story belongs, but anyone in the market for a lovely south Boston condo with history should check out this new real estate listing.
No word on whether the freezer conveys.
Ah man, that’s just cold.
I had to take all of these special weaknesses to afford my talents.
The wallpaper alone is a crime.
Oh. So “special weaknesses” equals “dump stat”?
Yeah, I’ve always imagined that dump stat is what you check against when your character is trying to poop.
“Yes, I rolled a crit shit!!!”
I putting this here on the hunch that we’ll find out there’s more to this story than that he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and died of MSRA a few days later.
I won’t say you’re wrong, but the last place I would want to be with pneumonia is a hospital, even with the best of intentions on the part of everyone there.
Viva La Dirt League covered that important game mechanic:
LOL, of course they did. 
A really tight-knit Konspiracy would have infected the whistleblower with a deadly germ before he filed his complaint and gave a deposition.
Yeah, when struggling to breathe with fluid-filled lungs, you want to be at home consuming chicken soup and using Vicks Vapo-Rub, rather than those nasty hospitals with their IV antibiotics, supplemental oxygen and other useless stuff.
That’s because the bastards will never give you any Ivermectin.
For what it’s worth, the death rate for pneumonia in some hospitals is around 20% (or was, pre-Covid). Anecdotally, my father went into the hospital with a heart issue, got pneumonia while he was there, and was sent to hospice to die. Pneumonia, not the heart issue, was on the death certificate. According to one health care worker there, this seems to be a fairly common outcome for older people who enter hospitals for other conditions. Only one data point, just one that affected me personally. No-one but me will suffer for it, if I choose to act on it at some time in the future.
One of my gf’s aunties was in her nineties and in declining health. She moved into an assisted living type home “to die”.
While there she contracted COVID and recovered, but then died a peaceful death.
Her death certificate lists breast cancer as the cause of death. She had breast cancer/mastectomy/chemo 45 years prior. WTF??
The problem with hospitals is that you’re likely to catch pneumonia there.
Once you already have it, that ceases to be the concern.
Did I wander onto Twitter by mistake?
Two possibilities:
-
The death certificate is wrong (they do sometimes have errors)
-
If treatment for breast cancer had some side effect that eventually lead to her death (some treatments can damage the heart or lungs, for example) then arguably that would be reason to list it as a cause of death.
