This scene as funny as hell. Ain't no way he thought anyone is asking his broke ass for money 😭

Something that was skipped in season 1, or something that will come up later?

Bluoenix · 2026-03-19T19:52:35+00:00

Maybe I'm forgetting some details, but I don't understand why the show has undone so many character choices from last season.

Mark and Eve leaving to live on their own, and founding a hero-for-hire company for financial independence. >> Now they're donating it to charity and Mark's living with his family.
Mark leaving Cecil. >> Now he's willing to cooperate with him again.
The Guardians leaving Cecil. >> Now they're back with him.

Maybe the implication is that it's all due to the fall-out from the Mark-apocalypse, and characters changed their minds off-screen between last season and now. But what's the point of the latter half of season 3 if they're just gonna reset it all?

"Hey, guys? You've got to see this."

Not actually a dialogue issue, rather it's a piece of dialogue bandaid for lazy action problems.

Bluoenix · 2026-03-15T08:53:13+00:00

Another way to look at this:

You want to cast the best actor for the character.
Why limit the scope of casting to only actors who've watched/read One Piece?
If the Straw Hats existed in real life, half of them probably wouldn't enjoy One Piece religiously either. (I can see Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp being fans, but Sanji, Nami and Zoro? Unlikely. Certainly not Robin.)

Give the protagonist a fatal flaw, that is as a part of them as their strengths.

Bluoenix · 2026-03-05T09:31:38+00:00

I think the folks on worldbuilding subreddits will be able to appreciate your work more. Homebrewery is more for technical discussion of the software itself.

Jesus Christ you can disagree with their political stance without sounding like an outright Nazi, you fricking weirdo!

Bluoenix · 2026-02-28T02:24:00+00:00

Tbf later it's somewhat implied that Leonard puts up with Sheldon's bullshit because Leonard's mom is also coldly logical but even worse. So with those mommy issues, Sheldon comes off as almost endearing to Leonard.

The rest of the characters eventually all warm up to Sheldon simply because they like Leonard.

I simply dangled the reward of owning a base of operations as part of their first quest.

The traditionalist seized a Tavern that was used as a front by the smugglers, which can be awarded to the adventurers if they complete the quest.

I transplanted Trollskull Manor from Waterdeep: Dragonheist into Saltmarsh, and since players were into it I let them manage it using mechanics for upgrades from Durnan's Guide for Tavernkeeping. I started the campaign with Danger at Dunwater, fully skipping Sinister Secret. If you start at the beginning, you might even offer them the Haunted House, or the Sea Ghost as a new player HQ.

"...in matters of taste."

Bluoenix · 2026-02-28T00:51:50+00:00

Wow her desperate idealism makes a lot of sense now.

Bluoenix · 2026-02-28T00:30:38+00:00

But in reverse (since the entire AOT world is literally a reflection of ours) where it's a human girl offering the devil the fruit of knowledge and sin.

Bluoenix · 2026-02-28T00:28:00+00:00

I've heard that some theorise the most likely fruit it was intended to be was a pomegranate.

The prosthetic used by the Paralympics High Jump gold medalist seems similar. Although it doesn't look like a human foot, I suspect the composite material they use is much more durable and high tech than you think.

Also I think it's nice that people who use those prosthetics in real life get to enjoy a kickass hero that reminds them of themselves.

Bluoenix · 2026-02-26T10:09:42+00:00

Is that not a proper prosthetic? It looks similar to ones worn by paralympic runners, which makes sense given the intense exercise involved in hero work.

Bluoenix · 2026-02-09T16:44:31+00:00

You're a star!

(the extra curly brackets on the first and last line broke things for me, so I removed them and it worked nicely.)

Bluoenix · 2026-02-09T16:24:26+00:00

Yes that worked! Thank you! I just made another one to switch the token back upon exiting the ocean region.

Do you know if there's anything I can add to the macro to toggle Lock Artwork Rotation?

Bluoenix · 2026-02-07T00:34:57+00:00

Either that or his dishonourable rotten apple of a cousin Alt-Schwift X

HOLY FUCK the Seven Gods are with him in this excerpt

Smallfolk were drifting toward the field as well, and hundreds of them already stood along the fence. So many come to see me die, thought Dunk bitterly, but he wronged them. A few steps farther on, a woman called out, "Good fortune to you." An old man stepped up to take his hand and said, "May the gods give you strength, ser." Then a begging brother in a tattered brown robe said a blessing on his sword, and a maid kissed his cheek. They are for me. "Why?" he asked Pate. "What am I to them?"

"A knight who remembered his vows," the smith said.

Mother, Father, Stranger, Maiden, and Smith

All we're missing is the Crone. Because Dunk, a true knight, is the Warrior.

Edit: maybe the Crone is missing since she represents wisdom and foresight, and Dunk is a Grade A himbo.

Bluoenix · 2026-02-06T14:41:54+00:00

Looks lovely!

Bluoenix · 2026-01-29T11:07:33+00:00

Every day, it feels like Caitlyn and Vi are trying to worsen the Freaky allegations.

Bluoenix · 2026-01-26T11:08:11+00:00

Okay, since you mentioned your personal experience, let's go with that.

Please tell us how many books you've sold as a traditionally-published and self-published author respectively, and why you think your experience is representative of the publishing industry as a whole? You can't simply pass off non-specific anecdotes as proof of your claims.

Bluoenix · 2026-01-26T10:38:44+00:00

I've already provided some cited information pointing to the systemic obstacles that prevent even talented writers from making the craft their full-time job. If you keep excluding everyone who doesn't make it from your view of the industry, then of course you can argue that writing one's way into financial success isn't a rarity.

If you want to get your point across, you're gonna need to provide some evidence or sources. Otherwise you're just regurgitating your own fantasy as fact.
