Hot Take: 5e is too bloated with unnecessary rules and should be simplified (ttrpg.network)

I recommend this video to look more into OSR philosophy regarding the rules: https://www.youtube.com/live/bCxZ3TivVUM?si=aZ-y2U_AVjn9a6Ua

Are you one of the players who wants to "just talk out" social conflicts? That's a totally valid way to play but I hate it. Or at least I hate it when the game has stats for like charisma and intelligence. I cannot be 20 charisma in real life do not try to make me.

No. I use different ways to resolve social conflicts based on what the situation is. Sometimes that's rolling dice, sometimes it's talking in character and sometimes it's in-between stuff. Stop trying to shove me into some stereotype. Are you going to stereotype me as a Hackmaster gm? A Keeper? An ultraviolet? A storyteller?

I don't expect pf2 players to understand my point of view, especially non-gamemasters.
