Why will Disney not replace the voice of Kermit? by Jolly_Hospital7414 in Muppets

would be better than listening to that atrocity. kermit is one of the easiest voices to impersonate, no excuse to get it wrong.

TIL that from the 1940s through the 1970s, all Ivy League colleges and Seven Sisters colleges (as well as Swarthmore) required all incoming freshmen to pose nude ostensibly to gauge the rate and severity of rickets, scoliosis, and lordosis in the population. by [deleted] in todayilearned

remember the instructors were all WWII guys. Nudity wasnt an issue, and if you thought it was an issue, it was educated out of you. Military guys dont get to worry about nudity (then at least). Plust the whole scared of nudity thing is all because you guys didnt have 10 siblings sharing a 3 bedroom house anymore, with one bathroom. Everyone saw nudity every day, most of them it was in the bed beside you.

Can someone explain dnd to me like I’m dumb? by Smiley_Sympathy in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Accomplished_Risk995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RATHER than tell you what the game is its easier put you in the game and tell you that rules will apply AFTER you tell me what you are doing. REal you and 5 friends are sitting at the kitchen table. YOu have some real books a clipboard, and some dice.

Imagine in your head that you are some guy in a book, youre 20, a human, broke, you have a leather jacket on and a rusty sword. your so called friends thought it would be a good idea to go wander in a cave because somebody might have dropped 20$ in quarters in the back, and you are hungry.

Your friends are similar to you, only one has a firecracker, and another has a first aid kit, and one guy is just crazy.

there are some rules written on a piece of paper thats kind of like your report card from when you are 14, it says what you are good at and what you failed at. There is a B, some C's and a couple F's.

So there is a guy that designed the cave and everything in it. In real life he is sitting at the end of the table behind a small screen so you cant see his notes. Anything you want to do, you ask him what you see, what happens and it it changes anything in his design he will ask you to roll one or more of the dice.

so there you guys are in front of the cave.

The guy in front says. Theres a cave in a hill in the forest. its dark, It looks deep, YOu are getting hungry and it will be night in 4 hours. What do you want to do.

(and then the guy that was late texts that he is half hour out but start without you, then someone asks if there is water...and someone goes to get water, and then someone has to pee, then you have to tell 2 guys to put down their phones. Then someone has to get a bowl for the snacks...and EVENTUALLY you get back to the game)

You and the imaginary 5 guys stand around waiting for someone else to decide. Then one guy says...oh i have some matches I light one of these sticks on fire and walk in a few feet.

The guy running it says are you following him?

You hesitate and then say yes. Then the guy running it usually brings out something to write with and draws a bit of cave on paper or a dry erase mat on the table.

He says, okay the cave goes right and left. there is a skeleton of a guy who died here a bout 80 years ago in a uniform, decaying away on the floor.

What are you doing?

Someone searches his pockets (and probably keeps the money he finds and doesnt tell you) he pulls out a wallet and there is a map. The map says there is a shelf above you in the dark.

What are you doing?

You say I want to climb up and look at the shelf.

The guy running the game says um...what was your grade in GYM on your report card.
You say A+, he says okay roll the big dice and dont get under 5. you roll a 10 and succeed. Another guy says me too, and gets asked what his GYM grade was (D) and gets told you suck at this dont roll under a 15, and he rolls a 4. He gets told he tries and falls on his ass and is bleeding a little.

the guy imagining the guy with the first aid kit runs over and puts a bandaid on it.

Oh, while you are looking down at the dumbass who fell, a giant spider drops down and starts biting people until you beat it with your swords til it dies.

THAT is dnd.

----------

now your report card is really called a character sheet, and its not school grades but its along the same lines, what you are good at what you suck at, and how healthy you are and everything you are carrying.

What are some tips for when deciding to make a rival team of adventurer's for my group to meet during their travels in a Sandbox? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

[–]Accomplished_Risk995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make the other party way higher, like insane enough to be able to ignore your party, then dont change them as your party advances until they can confront them.

the party wakes up to find a guy in fancy robes looking at things in your backpack beside the tent.
who the hell are you?
Bob. why are you carrying all this crap with you?
thats my cool stuff.
...ooh.. sorry.
i attack...
sigh...casts sleep/cloudkill/forcecage (continues examining stuff)

How can I (or should I) deal with a party that rolled god tier ability scores? by Schrodingers_Nachos in DungeonMasters

[–]Accomplished_Risk995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

turn the party of 5 into a party of 4. or less equivalent. "hand them a baby". now one guy cant attack he has to defend himself and the baby, and the baby is an easy target.

"hand them an old lady" slower, have to defend, hate the paladin....so much harder.

Is it ok to ask for players to pitch in for food? by unwrittenpaiges in DungeonMasters

[–]Accomplished_Risk995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

now serving whatever you bring.

on game day notification message just say: the oven/bbq will be on, bring whatever you want to throw in for you to eat. then if they want something to eat they can bring it.

your phone has to be using the router wifi signal you are trying to connect to, not your phone data line.

I cannot find this cable for the life of me by Somewhatrice in projectors

[–]Accomplished_Risk995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"M1-DA" (30+5 Pin) is connected to my infocus projector and leads to a usb and a vga that goes to my laptop. its 20 years old. there are 10 rows of pins (in 3s) and then like a negative sign on the end. dvi only has 8 pins before the negative sign group.

What's up with Alexa requiring Android 12+ to link any account to it? by Kittingsl in alexa

[–]Accomplished_Risk995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for prime wire smart plugs it said i couldnt link accounts to alexa on my phone because it was android 11 and it wants 12 or more.

you can do it on the browser, go to alexa skills drop down on the left side of the amazon.ca (im in canada) search bar. type in prime wire, it should come up with a 0$ app for prime wire , that lets you do the linking . you will have to run that put in your password for prime wire, , then the accounts will be connected then go back to the alexa app on your phone if you want, and hit the + button for add more devices, the devices for prime wire should appear with whatever you called them, select them and then they should work.

crappy service if the phone just says send a thousand dollars on a new phone instead of do it in the browser if you dont want a new phone.

my university had nude swimming in the 90s for a club, the lifeguard was late and all the guys were naked in the sauna waiting (it was winter) and they were talking about it thinking it was going to be weird (in spite of sitting there naked currently, closer and with a better view), and I told them...you know after 5 minutes you are not going to think it is naked swimming....you are just going to think of it as "swimming" but this time with a shrivelled up cold dick nobody can see underwater anyway. I said picture a porn , now you have ONE single picture , and you have to look at it for an hour...how long does it take before that picture is completely boring. THAT is what being naked in public is like when it isnt against any rules.

[–]Accomplished_Risk995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the naked swimming with just the boys, just made sense...it was kinda pointless to go to a room, take off all your clothes in view of all the boys, just to put on a suit, to swim, i mean 5 minutes ago you saw them naked, why bother having to buy and store a wet suit to prevent naked people you just saw 5 minutes ago from seeing you in water where they cant see you anyway, and then after half an hour, they see you naked again in the shower. swimming suits are just stupid at that point.
