I would apologize for the repost spam but I currently have nothing to do in this Pathfinder game because Paizo's dogshit rules mean that I'm trapped in a permanent loop of losing turns because I get downed, get pushed in front of the thing that killed me, get healed, get hit again before I can take a turn because most combats don't have only a single enemy, skip my turn cuz it's pushed forwards to the next turn, fucking repeat

I genuinely think I hate PF2 at this point, they started with the germ of some good ideas but every time anything is changed or we run up against any edge cases it gets revealed their designers have no fucking idea what they're doing

Mood. I started out in TTRPGs playing pathfinder with my friends who played all the time. One of them ran a game in a different system once and I never played pathfinder again. My dislike for pathfinder is single handedly the reason I now play and run so many different systems as often as I can.

This is weird for me because I actually do like PF1, which comes from being just a refined version of D&D 3.5 (which I quite enjoy because it's what I started with, despite its many, many problems) but I've been deeply unimpressed with the second edition ever since the word go, and that's only gotten worse over time.

Which is hilarious because I did not get into Pathfinder 1e until almost a decade after its inception, because I didn't get dragged into the whole 4e cluster that brought it into being (and I actually think D&D 4e had much better ideas for fixing D&D's problems than anything that came later)

Anyway Paizo's current trajectory is taking away everything that I liked about 1e, stapling on bits of D&D5 but worse, and then committing an editing massacre trying to make things 'legally distinct' but mostly just giving everything worse names.

I only played 2e a little bit and that was kind of the experience I had with it also, though I did appreciate that it felt simplified since it didn't have the years and years of content bloat, which isn't really the system doing anything but being new.

Most of my pathfinder experiences at a certain point for me came from liking my friends more then I don't like pathfinder. Though I will admit that now-a-days I am very biased as a Non Pathfinder enjoyer. Since I realized after a lot of experimenting with TTRPGs that d20 Battle sims were really not for me in general. So my dislike of pathfinder 100% come from a place of preferring systems the incentivize narrative exploration and character engagement rather then combat numbers and point allocation.
