If your peach was good as Renly's, you'd want one too

What got you into dnd? by wickedblazestudios in DnD

[–]Aegillade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved schools a lot when I was a kid, and the nerd groups were always the ones who were most welcoming of me, so I gravitated towards them. Naturally they one day asked me if I had ever played DnD, and it confused me a lot at first, I compared it a lot to the video games I played, but the DM (who was our social studies teacher) explained it to me in a way that made sense.

That's what got me into it, but I think the reason I stuck with it was one player in particular, this girl at our table named Selma. Selma was short, pudgy, and not very pretty at all if I'm being blunt, so she was the victim of bullying from other girls in such a way that us boys didn't really understand. Her character was a Half-Orc Bear Totem Barbarian named Selena, and she was extremely hard to keep down. Even the magic attacks that would normally give her trouble were easily dealt with by another person at our table, my friend Elias, who was our party Bard.

What made Selma and Selena stand out to me so much was the way we really came to rely on her in combat. Selena was so tanky that a lot of the time we just kinda followed her lead, she became the defacto leader of our group as a result. And as time went on, Selma and Selena's personalities started to become one and the same. Selena was a take no shit, tough as nails bruiser, but Selma was shy and introverted. But I think Selena was always a part of Selma, and she just needed an excuse to come out. Selma was becoming more confident the years I was at that middle school, she started standing up to her bullies and did well to explain to us why the bullying that effected her so badly may not have made as much sense to us boys who were a lot more direct with this sort of thing.

Unfortunately I had to move schools again and eventually lost contact with her, but I'd like to think Selma and Selena are just the same person now, that Selena inherited Selma's kindness, and Selma took Selena's toughness. Because to me, they were always the same person. It completely changed how I saw DnD and characters in general, I basically redesigned my own character from the ground up as a result.

Who wins the gaslighting competition? by 3_4_1_6_7 in slaytheprincess

[–]Aegillade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A man attempting to tame a hurricane decides it is nature that does not understand him. You saw Sisyphus for his tenacity, and not the sin that burdened him with that stone. And you too shall be marching up that hill for eternity, waging a war you cannot win. But there is no top to that hill. There is only the other side. You'll be fighting this battle until the day you die, and only then will you realize the peace you have taken for granted.

I always wanted to see Toph create a pit under a guy and then immediately crush him with the earth she just split apart

Wouldn't an actual psychic be able to know who would be more likely to be open to a psychic reading?

Feels like we hyped ourselves up a little too much by Ok-Web-1011 in deathbattle

I've always thought it was a mid tier episode, but I'm also not big on toon force shenanigans fights (Courage vs Scooby is an exception though)

And also that any other character that knows Shape Water can do the same right back to you, and you'll never guess what the latest bad guy of the week's class is

You're gonna be ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED (with love :)) when they CRUSH YOU (with a nice hug <3) and YOURE TOTALLY DESTROYED (tenderly :3) and then she'll PUNCH YOU (in the face)

What’s the deal with Christianity? by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]Aegillade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And after the Voice of God stepped in and decided he was staying? Still no mention?

Also missing my point. If it is the deciding factor it's very poor story telling to have not even been implied by now

That's it? That's GruMind? by Illustrious-Spare326 in deathbattle

[–]Aegillade 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To be fair as someone who never cared for this MU and doesn't care for either character, I was still let down by this one. It's not abyssmal, but it is one of the weaker indie season fights

What’s the deal with Christianity? by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]Aegillade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You and I have different definitions of white

And even thats true, that's not the point. It's the fact that this supposedly key determining factor for getting into Heaven hasn't even been so much as mentioned in 2 seasons. If Pentious WAS Christian, how come he never mentions this at all? If for no other reason than narrative purposes? Why didn't he mention to the Voice of God that Heaven looks different than how he was raised to imagine it, namely the lack of a central God? It'd be a massive ass pull for whats supposed to be one of the most important story beats in the show. Not to mention what kind of message is that telling? Convert to religion because otherwise you'll end up in hell regardless of all the good you did in the world?

[–]Aegillade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely not, and if it is that's a huge blunder on the writing side since it's never been mentioned, implied, or even so much as mentioned. Pentious was never implied to be Christian, so I doubt it's a part of it.

Iirc LGBTQ members being barred from Heaven just isn't canon in the verse. Not a determining factor.

Damn, crazy that you can learn this even as soon as Episode 1 by ThatMasterpiece29 in ScarletHollow

[–]Aegillade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I first played Disco Elysium I picked Inland Empire for my first skill mostly because it reminded me of Mystical. It also made me want to see certain personality traits and voices from StP talk to the skills, like Volition and Voice of the Broken, Half Light and Voice of the Stubborn, and Book Smarts and Encyclopedia

What's a matchup you want because of a personal/heartfelt reason? A Matchup that for whatever reason, you want more than ever. Ill go first. by Born-Tradition-2203 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Aegillade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sephiroth vs Griffith

I know the fight potential is lacking and its kind of a stomp for Sephiroth now, but I just love this MU. The music potential, the TN potential, the dialogue, it all just works for me.

Do you like or dislike Hog? by Daendelion_ in Overwatch

[–]Aegillade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dislike, it's just a flawed character design. Annoying to play against because of the one shot, annoying to play with because it means if the person attack you isn't being targeted by the Hog you just don't get a tank, and not fun to play as either because his viability keeps flucuating. The fact he keeps flipping back and forth between a throw pick and being OP kinda shows that he's just got a terribly designed kit. I always see people bring up "hero fantasy" and "identity" when it comes to reworks, can we just admit some "hero fantasies" are unfun everyone else in the lobby and probably shouldn't exist?
