Maybe you should google how to think for yourself, mother fucker

I’m going through a terrible time and am feeling compelled to share my aggressive thoughts 
Meta-gaming is a fucking blight, death to America
Depends on the game. Playing something where a giant portion of game time is taken up by combat (D&D, Pathfinder, Lancer) and being obviously and noticeably worse than every other player just feels bad.
Yeah and it also comes down to your DM and how much of a combat focus they have. Back when I was a GM for shadowrun my players were encouraged to meticulously plan every combat encounter, sometimes so well they didn’t have to fight at all. That’s always fun.
For sure, I’m running a cyberpunk game right now where they’ve cleared most missions without getting caught, and every time they’ve gotten into a firefight has been a disaster ending with someone on death’s door. If anything, the combat-oriented solo (who got killed by a lucky headshot) feels underpowered in that game.
