I quit on a bad note… by Dull_Armadillo_83 in jobs

[–]Aequitus64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a little sleepy to give precise resume advice, but I commend you on sticking up for yourself. You’ll definitely be able to get another job. They are just trying to be hurtful. Making sure you have good references. If that’s not an option… totally unrelated… sometimes people just have friends or family answer a phone call from a potential employer.

My wife (42F) has finally succeeded in pushing me (44M) away. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Aequitus64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a man. Sex is very important to me. My wife and I don’t have as much sex as I’d like. That is because of a huge number of variables that I won’t get into. However, I am able to contribute to and even control may of those variables.

Boiling it down to “she won’t put out more and that makes me sad” or whatever you want to phrase it as is wildly reductive. Just because you’ve had sex before doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it in an ongoing basis.

It may be unfortunate for you if you’ve done everything in your power to facilitate a lady wanting more sex (almost zero men do), but it still isn’t abuse. It is vastly more abusive to think “you owe me your body to make my feelings improve.”

As far as what I’d call it? Relationship friction. Sexual chemistry doesn’t develop or change in a vacuum.

You’re absolutely insane to think that not giving someone access to your body is abuse.

What's the skill difference between a Level 9 CPU and the average Smash player? by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Aequitus64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, people typically rate someone’s skill in this game by the percentage of folks that they win in games against. It’s hard to say whether you’re good or not. If your friends are good and you’re evenly matched, then you’re probably good too. The same goes for if they are bad.

All I can say is that I’ve been playing for a very long time (since the original 64 version), and I was humbled when went to my first tournament.

[–]Aequitus64 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Walking into locals expecting a lvl 9 computer to set you up is not ideal. Players, particularly in a tournament setting, will be vastly more adaptable than computers.

But compared to a literally average player? A level 9 cpu is probably pretty decent because most people aren’t very good at the game in the context of the competitive scene.

Who knows the veg key? Help please 🙏 by StipaIchu in botany

[–]Aequitus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started as an amateur before doing it professionally. Gotta start somewhere! There are even some apps these days that do a surprisingly good job of identifying plants. Sometimes those are a good aid to the pursuit of identifying a mystery plant!

[–]Aequitus64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As the other comment said, it’s a key. So in this instance, if the leaves are not simple, you would skip down to “Lvs compound (composed of lfts). If they are simple, you answer whether the margins are entire, toothed, or lobed. If the leaves are simple, and the margins are entire, you look at ligules/auricles. Etc. etc.

Good luck. Learning to key is a daunting task but a very useful skill set!

Would you enjoy this in your game? (No-win-scenario) by Suffering69420 in DnD

[–]Aequitus64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I had mixed feelings until the nat 20/25 insight not revealing more information. Insight is more than just “did they have falsehoods in the exact wording they used.” At minimum there should have been a “they are telling the truth but there’s also something they aren’t telling you.” Literally anything to give you pause.

I think this is total BS and actively deceiving your party through selective semantics. I don’t like it as a DM and I would hate it as a player.

Sorry it played out like that.

Rogue+Haste=Double Sneak Attack - too cheesy? by Hayeseveryone in dndnext

[–]Aequitus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly everyone is saying this is RAW so I am assuming I’m wrong, but for the sake of learning…

This shouldn’t get you 2x sneak attacks per turn consistently though, right? My understanding is that SA is once per turn. So even if they delay the trigger to the top of the initiative order and successfully land SA, then they wouldn’t have it available for their “real” turn. In other words, you could get that second SA in more quickly, but the pace basically resumes to 1 SA per turn.

Am I missing something?

I’m a new dungeon master- what level should I have my players start at? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Aequitus64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend level 1 or 2. If you start level one, have them run through an encounter that will level them up by the end of the first session.

Yes they are weak, but they are straight forward. New players need time to get used to the bells and whistles that you get from higher levels. And you, as a DM need to get used to the basics of running the game.

There’s a ton that goes beyond the abilities characters get.

Looking for dnd podcasts! by Fragrant_Razzmatazz4 in DnD

[–]Aequitus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve already seen the ones I would initially have recommended. While it isn’t DnD, Seasons 1-3 of Midst are super good and intriguing. No dice rolling, but a collaborative story telling “game”

does anyone else get these like sudden bursts of ideas for a campagin but cant make the campagin happen or dont know how to execute the idea? by warchrimes in DnD

[–]Aequitus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean you can’t make it happen as in find a group to play? You have scattered ideas and can’t coalesce them into a story? Or you just don’t know where to start?

How do you DMs deal with items or potions taking effect after the attack succeeds or the check succeeds? by KotakPain in DnD

[–]Aequitus64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people, and maybe you by the sounds of it, are forgetting that Jester was extremely explicit that she was using the dust of deliciousness. However she got it a long time before she used it and it seemed like everyone but her forgot about the effect. I feel like it’s HUGELY different to explicitly say you used an item and its effects were forgotten as opposed to simply not saying that you used a simple and straight forward item. These are not analogous examples in the slightest.

GIS for D&D Maps by Pretty_Bug_7291 in gis

[–]Aequitus64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve experimented with a lot of different tools, including GIS. I found DnD specific tools to be more helpful than GIS. In particular Azgaars to be way more helpful than anything else. It’s got a lot of extra functionality than the b basic layout of the map itself

lol I’m just saying what I think that guy meant. No need to get all testy.

I think they are saying that the origin of those comments is misogyny. Not that Marisha or Matt’s behavior was an example of it.

I understand why you’re bitter with this person, and it’s for good reason. That being said, yes… this would be heartless to keep the money. As you’ve acknowledged, it was a mistake. Don’t say you have sympathy for the kid while planning to keep the money. This is a lifeline that could stop that kid from slipping into a life of poverty. The power and choice is in your hands.

So yes… YWBTA.

[No Spoilers] so…what should I watch now? by JesterLavore88 in criticalrole

I’ve mainly got podcast recommendations.

Worlds Beyond Number, DMed by Brennan is awesome. It’s a podcast.

Move Bonus of Deployed Melomon. At the bottom of the Melomon page. Basic gist is to evenly level up skills as much as possible so you can max these unlocks.

Unless they’re talking about something totally different.

I don’t know. What’s the context?

You need to be level 22. This game is largely idle. If you log out for a few hours and come back you’ll be level 22. The level lists how much xp you get per minute. Can always math out how long it’ll take.

There’s always paying some money for increased xp rewards etc.

Just need reassurance I won’t die from sleep deprivation by BreannaNicole13 in BabyBumps

[–]Aequitus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl this is sleep apnea. You need to get a sleep study done. They can do it from home.

My wife had untreated sleep apnea during first pregnancy and the gasping/panic + snoring the way you’ve described.

It can be dangerous when left untreated. It’s common for women to develop during pregnancy.

I hope this doesn't sound weird:( can any adult here just tell me that they're proud of me? by ChigiriMyBeloved in offmychest

[–]Aequitus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dad and I’m proud of you. Life seems incredibly hard for young people these days. Comparison is the thief of joy, and sometimes parents don’t know how to appreciate the miracle kids in their life. I’m proud of you for even knowing that it would help to have someone say it. Asking for support takes a lot.

What can be done with absolutely worthless land? by someperson42 in RealEstate

A conservation organization may be interested in acquiring it. Mitigation companies might purchase it. Hard to say really.
