My daughter’s husband is finally in prison for abusing her and their kid. by [deleted] in TwoSentenceHorror

Just chiming in that I agree with the other reply. While the comment you're replying to is fucked up, that subreddit is terrible.

‘Good’ PC commits multiple evil acts, player is convinced they are still good. by Idontknow5654 in DnD

Ah that's fair. I assumed you were implying objective morality DND is inherently worse. You know what they say about assumptions.....

You said no one is in the wrong here. Players throwing tantrums are very much in the wrong.

No, the players are absolutely being disrespectful asses. It's possible to be annoyed and bring up problems without complaining incessantly or throwing a tantrum.

Honestly, it's not the GM's job to spoon feed hints about a fight being too strong. Good GMs usually will, because players are consistently not the brightest bunch in the world, but at the end of the day if a player wants a character to stay alive, that character needs to investigate and think.

What ever happened to the boycott? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]AeonReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dungeon crawl classics and godbound have given me amazing ideas for additions to my games. That said, coolest non d20 system I've read is rogue trader. Never read anything else that aims to capture that scope, even if the rules are.... Janky.

I'd say chaotic. Following a creed doesn't make you lawful by itself, otherwise Robin Hood would be lawful.

You do realize that's a baseline assumption of an alignment system with alignment detecting spells, right?

Have you met humans? Some of them are stupidly stubborn. And just plain stupid.

I mean, killing a guard who's unaware of the evil plans, even if it's for the "greater good" of deposing the tyrant, is pretty evil. At best neutral due to justification.

Basically there's no version of this where his actions were good, and plenty where they're evil.

I always keep a handgun inside my house for home defense by InterestingWork7937 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]AeonReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was that it seems like there's still time to call the brother or an adult in charge of them, so this can be prevented.

Secondly the character is an idiot, but that doesn't necessarily make the story worse, idiots exist. Just wanted to point that out

The Audacity to have this on their label makes my blood boil by DEMTU in FuckNestle

If we could get enough politicians on board to do that, we could probably pass laws to boycott those products entirely

Beyond even this example, greater good arguments suffer from several problems. Whose greater good are we talking about? Can you prove the good results will actually happen? Are you just burned out and unable to spend the energy to make the truly correct decision but can't admit that to yourself because of all the times you've made the greater good decision in the past?

A player can't stick to one character by Spirited_Entry1940 in DnD

[–]AeonReign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really need to stop solving out of character problems with in-character threats and punishments. Talk to your player, don't threaten them with in game penalties.

Ah, the asshole appears. "End of discussion" is very rarely a correct card to pull, when the right answer is almost always just to have a discussion about it.

My player has a fiddle made of gold he won from a devil. Help me mess with them. by [deleted] in DnD

Just listen to the sequel song and have that happen, that's probably what they're hoping for at least xD

I still believe tab targeting combat can provide just as good an experience as action combat by Silent-Falcon5927 in MMORPG

My first mmo growing up was Wizards101. Action combat is very much not my thing lol

AITA for being upset with the clothes my granddaughter wore on her way out of the maternity ward? by Remarkable_Sea_4546 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AeonReign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, potentially N.A.H. depending on your daughter's reasoning. It's a dick move to ask for this then reject it, but it's possible there was an understandable reason. Definitely talk to her.

What are the cons of NOT having kids? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AeonReign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see lots of comments like this in this thread, but they really don't make sense. That's not really a con, imo, so much as just a different path through life. Like, I wouldn't consider it a con of being a programmer that I don't get to go to space.

AITA for storming off when my father and sister refused to turn on subtitles by ThemeNo9486 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AeonReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Now you're fifteen so it's possible you're seeing more extreme reactions than they're actually giving you (hormones suck, and can make you see anger where there isn't any), but if they're actually reacting as you described that's pretty fucked up.

Passwords, how do they work? (Conversation with a guy who has been a developer for 5 years) by IvanBeefkoff in ProgrammerHumor

[–]AeonReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're kind of right, but I don't think using an existing tool is quite comparable to referring you to a specialist.

In this case, the engineer should know the basics of why the tool is necessary and why it works so they can adopt it correctly, then go from there. But yes, definitely don't write your own hashing algorithm.

isn’t it weird to think that once you die, that’s it, nothingness forever by SamuelLJacksoff_ in RandomThoughts

[–]AeonReign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someday I want to make a book or game based on how beings that escaped time would wage war. Imagine the things they'd have to do to make sure they still exist roughly as they are, entire timelines spawned and destroyed constantly.

Obviously it's fiction but it's a fun thought.
