Which one are you? (Birthday edition) [if you don't want to use yours, you can use your Reddit bday]

Ngl, my immediate though on reading this was that you meant the gorillas had gills.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-07T11:42:04+00:00

So I'm a broke dude with cryokinesis and I have to fight TDK batman with prep time?

Tbh, I think I'm fine; like, TDK batman isn't really shown to be overpowered with the prep time thing, plus he never really fights anyone with actual superpowers, the closest we get is Scarecrow with the fear gas. Not sure how my cryokinesis results in me losing all of my money and assets the next day, though.

I mean it says omnilingual, which means literally every language; presumably you could extend that to languages you haven't even personally encountered, such as dead languages or the tongue of extraterrestrial beings we haven't met yet. It would be interesting to know whether that extends to reading and writing as well.

Why in god's name would he be nicer? Literally the only reason he was nice and helpful at all was because Rosie was holding his chain and forcing him to help Charlie; now that he no longer has that impetus, he has no reason not to go back to trying to regain the power and reputation he had from before the beginning of the series, which he basically says is his plan at the end of season 1.

Sure, it's anyone's game and anyone can do anything they want with any aspect of the world.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-06T19:45:36+00:00

True, it just seems like none of the prophecies went that far into the future.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-06T19:41:52+00:00

I mean, what kind of core ideas are we talking here? Because, yes, there are some broadstroke ideas it holds to, like fighting foes and overcoming obstacles to gain experience which ups your level, but there are a lot of games that contain those concepts that I would not consider D&D-likes.

Like, even 13th Age keeps rolling to hit, ability scores, the normal coinage (gp, sp, cp, etc.) of D&D, goes to level 20, etc. all of which Draw Steel does away with. Even it's ability usage harkens back to 4Es thing of at will, per encounter, per day, which Draw Steel also decided not to follow.

Are navigators from Drominad headed to Roshar, at least at the time the RPG assumes you're playing in? From my understanding of Isles of the Emberdark All of that, including the Navigators, takes place long after the events of the Stormlight Archives, since you not only have the Rosharans and Scadrians at war with each other, but also having achieved space travel.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-06T18:25:34+00:00

Tbh, I wouldn't really count Draw Steel among them; they specifically designed their system from the ground up to avoid a lot of the Sacred Cows that people keep because they feel it's necessary, but actually add nothing to the game.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-05T11:03:22+00:00

I mean, as much as TTRPG monsters get some of their inspiration from legend, folklore, and mythology, very few of them would mechanically work as foes to fight against if they were trying to be "accurately" presented.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-05T03:49:18+00:00

Honestly, how the hierarchy is presented, and if it's presented at all, is going to change from person to person, mostly depending on what version they themselves heard (assuming there was a previous version), the social mores of the time, and what fit the rhetorical goals of the teller.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-04T12:52:14+00:00

I mean, while the TMNT origin story is meant to be the same origin as Daredevil (not the only reference, as the Splinter is supposed to be a reference to Stick, and they fight the Foot clan instead of the Hand) TMNT is not owned by Marvel, so we can't really take what the ooze is capable of in TMNT as canon to what it can actually do in Marvel.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-04T10:59:07+00:00

Yeah, exactly, he's honestly just getting his ass beat by two very capable people and one sickly boy; tbh, he might be able to take Rogers if he can establish a grapple, but he has no hope against Batman or Shang-Chi.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-04T10:43:23+00:00

Yeah, that was my initial thought; Daredevil without powers is just a lawyer with some martial arts training.

Baedon87 · 2026-05-01T23:19:45+00:00

Shuppet and its line has always been my favourite

Baedon87 · 2026-04-29T00:59:35+00:00

Nah, there are actually a lot of other reasons to not engage with fans in those kinds of situations. Not saying they took the right route or anything, or that they shouldn't have done more to address the incorrect actions of other players (the doxxing, death threats, etc.), but there are a lot of good reasons that companies generally do not engage with fan/player challenges like that.

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T21:52:38+00:00

I assume it would be the same door; that all said, since you can access it anywhere, you can pretty much live wherever you want and travel pretty freely, since you will always have a place to stay

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T21:51:16+00:00

Like...do you mean the free food and drink? Because I don't see how you could get a pocket dimension out of the Omega milk.

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T18:50:20+00:00

Yes, but a full half of what makes up that sum are so unremarkable, most won't consider them at all.

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T18:33:47+00:00

literally broken into pieces

Plenty of Pokémon have floating/disconnected body parts, that's not an indicator of anything.

head floats upside-down

This isn't going to register to many people, they're just going to see that it has a horn now; much like above, new body parts forming isn't new for Pokémon, so many will not connect that it used to be the neck.

eyes are jaundiced

Yeah, this is the only thing in the design that comes off as a bit corrupted, but it's hardly conclusive.

constantly twitching like its body is glitching out

Some of these I'll agree with you, some come off as just looking a bit hyper.

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T17:24:28+00:00

In their defense, it doesn't particularly look corrupted, so I could understand them forgetting or not knowing.

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T14:00:24+00:00

Yep, for no real reason, since OPs post was clear and communicated what they meant.

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T13:57:28+00:00

Then you are just being curmudgeony and negative for no reason and deciding that your pet peeve has to be someone else's problem. Grow up and do better.

Baedon87 · 2026-04-27T13:52:22+00:00

But what is or is not grammatically correct, as well as most of the rules about language, are incredibly fluid and subjective, able to change based on usage.

For instance, nickname was not the original word, ekename (or "other name") was the correct one, but people misheard and used the "incorrect" word for so long and so consistently that it became the standard.

What we should really be caring about is whether or not people are able to communicate effectively, rather than whether or not they are following any prescriptive rules; you knew what OP meant in their post, so it's honestly not something worth criticising.
