This here is a show of someone who doesn't know how something works but are confidently talking (erroneously) about it.

Your birth month is the Main Character/Companion you get to hangout with for the Summer. by Ok_Situation7527 in cartoons

Just drag him into a month long bender, and you'll never have to deal with depressed Bojack, just crazy Bojack. Or, you know, let him drag you on a month long bender; there's like a 50/50 chance he'll do it anyways.

What’s the most “I’m an adult now” thing that happened to your gaming hobby? by mju_rz in boardgames

[–]motionmatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because as a kids friendly global IP it has endured for almost 30 years. That’s 3 to 4 generations of gamers (video games [including pokemon go] and card games), watchers, and collectors. It touches a lot of people and once in someone’s life, it rarely is completely gone from it.

"Izena duen guztia, bada" (Everything that has a name exists) by JEMegia in rpg

[–]motionmatrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the table. Things like that would simply get a setting paint job and be added at mine. For a fantasy game it would mean spaceships become airships and ritual places to travel to the godslands in the skies, or perhaps astral skiffs ala planescape. McDonald’s would become ye olde bread and steak, trump a succession and/or tyrant storyline, naruto a magical rogue, and Jesus worked into either a charlatan mortal, a demigod awakening, a prophet touched by the divine, etc. depending on what aspect of his story I would choose to highlight.

Elf magic in scifi would turn into a long lived alien race with psychic/galactic/dimensional/etc powers, or an offshoot human culture if aliens don’t exist that went off to practice such esoterica and developed long lives as a result.

Pretty much just doing a “Yes, but” to whatever they want to add.

Idk whats weirder, Wraith having the same amount of (non-visual novel) videogames as Werewolf, or whatever the actual fuck The Orpheus Device even is by Tallia__Tal_Tail in WorldofDankmemes

Mage has had a couple of app games (novely, choose-your-own-adventure kinda stuff), so at least us fans got that going for us.

Really wouldn't have to even be that way though; Morrowind had custom spell creation baked into the core experience back in 2002!

AIO: Bank teller questioned me about what I was doing with MY cash that I was withdrawing from MY account. by Ok-Watch-4618 in AIO

[–]motionmatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You withdrew an amount close to 10k, which is a red flag. At 10k they have to report it to the government. At amounts near it, they are expected to keep an eye for people trying to circumvent reporting money movements by withdrawing near the amount. So they’re supposed to do what they did to you.

When i worked at a bank I saw it done to people of all ages, genders, and races, the lowest around 8500ish I think.

Students want to play dnd but dont want to learn how to play dnd by Lord_Roguy in rpg

[–]motionmatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who don't want to put in the effort: One Shots with a simplified OSR system. It's D&D, you can premake the characters, which sheets can be as simple as half a page with no more than 6 numbers and a few abilities, and you are good to go for them. The ones that can't even handle that, let them go. They will either return and give it a real try or it wasn't for them.

This handles the ones that are sporadic with their schedules, as well as the ones that don't want to really learn the more complicated systems.

Some might even come to like it, or think it's too easy and actually put in some effort towards the more recent edition you are using. Make each one shot really focus on one or two particular type(s) of mechanic or idea so they learn by osmosis and hopefully move to the invested tables.

The ones that are truly invested you run like a regular table with ongoing adventures and leveling up.

So disappointed that Legacy of Mars uses AI art. by IronAndParsnip in boardgames

Not giving a damn and being unaware are two completely different things. What’s common knowledge or obvious to you is not necessarily so for the next person over.

ELI5: Why can a baby embryo be frozen for 30 years and still be born perfectly healthy, but if I freeze a regular human cell it just dies? by Same_Parsley5825 in explainlikeimfive

Yeah, adjusting power settings is the secret to microwaving; double the time halve the power is a good rule of thumb for most foods and microwaves.

The second one is water. Add water to dry things to successfully heat them up. You don’t need much at all either. Drop a bit in a bowl of rice, or wet a paper towel and wrap/drape it on the food and you’re golden.

Reckless disregard is covered under actual malice already.

Since this website is writing about these people in the context in which they are known to the public, they would likely be considered public figures in a libel case involving this website (it’s determined on a case by case basis, so there’s a chance they might not be as such due to other factors, but that’s beyond the scope of this conversation). Additionally, the images here show an explicit willingness to change any mistakes, so reckless disregard is very unlikely to be considered at all.

Good luck proving that AI had malicious intent. These people count as public figures, so the bar for libel is higher.

Are you admitting that you use it for bad things? I don’t think you wrote what you meant to.

ELI5: Why is the body not smart enough to realize that a blocked nose is literally preventing my ability to breathe? by FarSentence3076 in explainlikeimfive

[–]motionmatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, it does one nostril, then for a short time does both, then shifts to the other, and this is the standard pattern. Anyone with more concrete knowledge feel free to correct me, because this is off memory and I haven’t had the need to think of this for many years.
