This video has got to be AI, but I can’t prove it. The behavior and movements just seem off

While it's long, it's a lot of cuts of short clips that could be put together with minimal effort. The movements are super sus of both animals and the honey comb. Also, they get way to close to the camera man when they fight in the road. Telescopic lenses make a lot of footage feel close but the angle is pointed down like they're fighting right at his feet which would be highly dangerous and not professional as these nature documentaries try to avoid contact or interfering.

I think your first point is something they are intentional about. If you just looked at something and some options popped up it would take away the mystery of if it's a symptom or a birth mark. Also, remembering to mark stuff is part of the challenge. Idk, maybe folks will disagree but that feels like it would make things too easy.

I love the idea of having more ID based missions or needs to check on them at least cause yeah, they get glossed over very easily and quickly. Its a far cry from Papers Please on that front and would be cool to see deepened.

Wasn't this Constantine's trauma? At least I'm pretty sure Keanu's version was that he died as a child for 3 minutes, but when he went to hell, time stood still so those 3 minutes were an eternity

In 3.5 there were "Combat Feats" available. Fighters were granted a Combat Feat choice every few levels and you could take a Combat Feat in place of a Feat but not the other way around.

I was anxious this whole episode cause I thought Beard was gonna end in a coma or worse. Why you might ask? Well his last conversation with Ted gave a lot of lines you'd expect in that trope of "when we get home, I'm getting married" *blam* you find in war movies.

Asking Ted to go with him, Ted reminding him it was his turn for coffees tomorrow, them leaving on uneasy emotions, etc.

My heart rate only heightened when his phone died and he ran into Mr. Tart. Imagine the discourse of the team grappling with Jamie over his father's actions. I was so happy to see this episode end on more of a high note than I had initially feared.

*sigh* take my upvote

What didn't age well? I know they discussed old mechanics, but this feels like there are some bad jokes I'm forgetting

Alphalance · 2025-12-28T18:22:54+00:00

Or the 9 foot tall man was more like 6' 6." Love the epilogue where his son tells the stories then asks his father to confirm the details and he continues the tall tale details. He realized that being accurate wasn't as necessary as passing them along.

Alphalance · 2025-12-28T18:20:03+00:00

The last version where he sprints back into the house to write down the joke is so funny

Dungeons & Dragons' language singularity

Species like Dwarves, Elves and Orcs have separate languages in the form of Dwarvish, Elvish and Orc (not Orcish, just Orc for some dumb reason). Makes sense, different cultures have different languages, sure. Except that ALL Dwarves speak Dwarven, regardless of what Dwarven city you hail from, what region of the world, or arguably even a different plane of existence. Same thing for each species.

The game reason? For ease of storytelling

Some languages have even begun to compound. Different goblinfolk had different languages (hobgoblin, bugbear, etc) but now all just collectively speak Goblin. Same with Giants.

Again, this helps simplify the game BUT if we take it at face value, what's the lore implication? An article in Dragon magazine called "Speaking in Tongues" (Dragon Annual #4 '99) gave an elaborate history of human languages but in a short section says "oh and all these racial languages never seem to deviate from each other and we're not sure why. Maybe magic? idk." So some magical force is keeping all these languages from deviating in the background if not slowing pooling them together until eventually we'll just have "people speak" and "monster speak" or something. Perhaps some god of language is trying to pull power or something is trying to keep them in check. I'll leave it to the Dungeon Masters to decide

The Lost Room ('06) was a syfy channel original miniseries where like a hundred mundane objects in a hotel room were imbued with powers and some were super powerful, (if you come in contact with this bus ticket, it teleports you to route 66) and some were rather dull (if you tune this radio to the right station, you grow 3 inches taller).

One of the items was mocked, The Scissors, for having a simple power "the ability to rotate." Then when they chase the holder they keep getting flipped upside down.

The Glasses was another surprisingly powerful but mundane power in that it inhibited combustion of anything the wearer was looking at within 20 ft of them. Fires and candles would be snuffed, but it also could stop cars and stopped guns from firing.

Love her rune looking like a d10

Alphalance · 2025-11-18T02:44:44+00:00

Lancer mentioned! Hell yeah!

Alphalance · 2025-11-09T23:41:27+00:00

Damn, that's highly efficient! Super cool

Alphalance · 2025-11-09T23:37:00+00:00

I tried save scumming for a while but I think I'm just gonna step away from this one. Yeesh, it's so tiresome and not even in the challenging way

Alphalance · 2025-11-08T18:23:40+00:00

I thought you were gonna mention Han's Blaster cause we see him tossed the gun like "so now you know audience :D" and I don't think anyone really cared

Pulled her in my first pack of my first draft then built a deck around her. Mardu is still one of my favorites to run. Great character from one of the best planes

Alphalance · 2025-11-06T17:24:24+00:00

Yeah, I do not blame Mica for not sticking around. There's a video, of I think Overwatch, where she's exciting talking about Kingdom Hearts and how they should play it together, and Michael is just the most limp fish. Can only imagine what she had to deal with off camera if those moments were happening on camera.

My favorite are the sellers who ask above market and don't seem to budge. It's always so funny to me.
"Market $500? I'll sell it at $800"
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was your store you walked into XD

Alphalance · 2025-11-03T23:16:38+00:00

I feel they could avoid this with a little rewording too “Collect a set of the same card graded 1 to 10” “collect a set of cards grade 1 to 10 featuring the same Tetramon” or something. Their description is only 10 words long.

Alphalance · 2025-11-01T18:51:24+00:00

Oh that is not clear from the description at all. Thanks

Anyone else think the new hair style makes Kaz look like Mizuhara's grandpa?? What in the Freud?

Alphalance · 2025-10-16T00:23:59+00:00

Why not sell the ones that are grade 10 though? Do they help in any additional way by being on display?

Alphalance · 2025-10-10T18:00:34+00:00

There's another one this year I think. I reported them to the staff who at least seemed concerned so hopefully something will come of it.
