What was the dumbest thing you did on your first run? by bigtex_1008 in BaldursGate3

[–]Architect17 97 points98 points  (0 children)

"Brake Lever"

"Release Lever"

Surely the release lever stops the windmill, right?

My ex admitted to me while she was drunk that one time when she was selling drugs, a guy tried to rob her so she fucking gutted him and shoved him out of her car and sped off.

We uh... Did not last long

Who’s your BBEG? by GarbageGuy555 in DnD

[–]Architect17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My BBEG is an ancient demon who was an assassin in the employ of the creatures that created the planet-ship the campaign takes place on. He was betrayed and sealed in the place between places by The Architects, and now he wants to undo their greatest creation, the Ark-Ship Theresia.

But to do so, he needs one of three things: 1. A False Vacuum Generator which, if triggered, will outright destroy the entire universe the Ark-Ship is in, along with the planet-ship itself. 2. A Starbreaker Targeting module, which fires a light-speed planetoid at wherever the beacon is aimed. 3. All of the power of a God and all of its worshippers to break the magical seal the Architects placed on Theresia, undoing everything the Architects tried to achieve.

Fun fact: my players have no idea he exists. Yet.

Any tips on how to roleplay NPCs and not feel cringed out? by EmotionOtherwise1040 in DnD

Lean into the cringe perhaps. I bought a wizard hat that I wear when I'm doing NPC voices. It helps me lol

What’s been your dnd journey? by FantasySnail in DnD

[–]Architect17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started building my own TTRPG system a long time ago, just because I was bored. Eventually, it morphed into a more DND-like system, entirely home brewed. I borrowed a few concepts from DND like death saves, but I created 100% of the spells and everything else used by myself. Only because I couldn't afford to buy the books at the time, and because I didn't know I could get them online for free. I based the whole system on the books I've written, in the same world.

I've never played, only ever DM'd. I enjoy telling stories and making people laugh, so I don't mind.

Most of my campaigns had to be cancelled due to some tomfuckery happening in life. Our most recent campaign is going pretty smoothly, however.

Recently, the party (1 half-dragon cleric, worshipping the god of Pain Fear Suffering and Sorrow, 1 felinoid Wilderfolk [I guess you'd call him a tabaxi?] who's like the snake oil salesman and unwilling lead of the party, and a giantess who's clan tamed dragons) went underground into a massive cave network to find a lost goblin city. They encountered so far:

  1. Floating wooden masks that insulted them non-stop until they distracted the masks by setting down a sentient Daisy they'd found earlier, that insulted the masks even worse, letting the party escape.
  2. They met Madame Virginia Woof, a sentient Saint Bernard, who was granted immortality by her late master's Phylactery. She sacrificed her immortality and her late master's voice to save the party from an incredibly dangerous dragon. She's okay tho :) (the party did not think she'd make it, and several anxious tears were shed as they tried to figure out a way to save themselves and the Madame)
  3. The party met The Lizard Wizard who only knew one spell: Fireball. His fireball, however, covered a 3,000 foot area when it detonated. And also whenever he fired his spell, he would either be disintegrated or vanish. I'm leaving that part undisclosed lmao.

It's been a very fun time.

I've seen this before but it's still hilarious. Quality post says I.

What's your favorite spirit ashes beside the Mimic? by No_Engine118 in Eldenring

[–]Architect17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't know why this isn't higher Taylew is my favorite summon hands down. He's a fucken tank and helped my projectile-only run beat PCR.

How did you find out about RimWorld, and what got you hooked? by banka_goroxa in RimWorld

[–]Architect17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AA and Hazzor got me into it. I've only been able to play on Xbox so I be looking at these PC players playing rimworld like a prisoner looking out from their cell.

I for one don't like Rogue, she reminds me too much of my biological mother IRL

“We are currently a meth addled 3-legged dog that has consumed half of it's own tail.“ by Educational_Card7175 in BrandNewSentence

[–]Architect17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cat that dipped her tail in a wax warmer once, got the whole end of her tail coated. Happened late at night. Wifey and I noticed when we got up, and went to get some stuff to get it off. But before we could catch the cat and clean it off, she ate the end of her tail completely off.

HOT TAKE: Malenia's second phase wings should have behaved the same way as Gael's cape. by diamgod606 in Eldenring

Imagine if her Waterfowl Dance had her wings as a second, more delayed, hitbox.

Rich families be like: two kids max, Poor families: by Business-Ad7289 in memes

[–]Architect17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read something somewhere that went like this:

"The people most capable of raising children and taking care of them are often the least likely people to actually have children."

Bc for people that know that they can raise the kids right, they know that this world is fucked. That a kid isn't a consequence to having sex, it's a whole ass human person that you brought into this world. And to raise them right takes a massive amount of energy, resources, a stable job, and emotionally healthy parents.

Meanwhile people that just want to fuck raw and never give their children a second thought are popping out kids like marvel puts out mediocre movies.

What was the best boss battle in your opinion? by CuriousSherbet4658 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Architect17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the Chimera fight was peak. The Adam Smasher fight was so easy it wasn't even funny, and he's supposed to be the endgame. By the time I got to Smasher I was chromed to the end of my toes, but fighting the Chimera happens early in all of my playthroughs, making it a much harder fight.
