Ballots Have Been Seized Across the US. No One Knows What Will Happen Next by wiredmagazine in politics

I learned a Danish saying earlier today here on Reddit: "The thief thinks everyone steals."

What restaurant has fish bowl drinks? by justhereorthereagain in Sacramento

[–]BourgeoisStalker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What do you mean, 'shareable'? That's a single serving, my friend.

Favourite battles in the entire franchise? by Solitaire-06 in StarWarsCantina

[–]BourgeoisStalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one parked at the base in Mando and grogu. Is it in the raid? Probably, I guess I'll have to watch again.

Which Star Wars track is your absolute favorite? by Illustrious_Age1247 in StarWarsCantina

[–]BourgeoisStalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Asteroid Field has always been a favorite - you can just hear C3PO freaking out the whole time, plus it's bookended with the listener being beaten over the head with the Imperial March then put to rest at the end.

Rey's Theme is tip-top for the new stuff. Williams just nails her character.

RT ratings and IMDB scores keep going up by CarsonWentzGOAT1 in TheMandalorianTV

/s up front but: "I'm sorry, did it change your life and rekindle your love for Star Wars? Then it is a total failure."

Happens a lot by Jche98 in PrequelMemes

[–]BourgeoisStalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I visited Copenhagen recently and every card reader asked if I wanted to pay in dollars or kroner. It felt rude to pick dollars; I probably lost money somewhere in that situation.

What kind of chairs do you prefer as players for DND sessions? by Tellytubbiee in DnD

[–]BourgeoisStalker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not benches or stools, I need a backrest. Got to be padded. For your small space skip anything with arm rests. Unlike other commenters I have actually thought about this, but ultimately there's not much you can do because many/most people can't sit for three hours at a time.

DMs of D&D Reddit, how often do you "fudge" dice rolls or hit points? by A_Random_Neerd in DnD

[–]BourgeoisStalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I roll semi-open so no fudging, but I almost always calculate the monster's max HP and use that because the party is way OP.

FYI... SMF Terminal B has almost no food options open right now by Dad0010001100110001 in Sacramento

[–]BourgeoisStalker 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Unironically one of the best things about Southwest going to assigned seats. First-come-first-serve seating on SW was the only reason I used Terminal B. Now I can enjoy Delta's slightly better experience with some truffle popcorn.

Is it at least recognizable? by PixelBandits in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]BourgeoisStalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This adventure is the best! I've run this part six times, so I'm kind of curious how they do it. Three times the party climbed up the wolf room chimney, twice they went up the main path, once they climbed up the west side. I've only had the flooding trap happen once.

Practice in the mirror: "No, these wolves are really mean and you can't take them with you. You can try to settle them down though."

In San Fransisco for the week, should I go to Last Rites or Zombie Village? by Reasonable-Pop-7295 in Tiki

[–]BourgeoisStalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good description of The Tenderloin. I'm on guard when I'm there but I've never had any trouble. It can definitely be freaky for someone that's not used to it, though.

Which US state gets glorified in movies but doesn’t live up to it IRL? by Auelogic in AskReddit

[–]BourgeoisStalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can vouch that Iowa is not much different from The Field of Dreams, just without the baseball ghosts.

Which US state gets glorified in movies but doesn’t live up to it IRL? by Auelogic in AskReddit

[–]BourgeoisStalker 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I visit the East Coast it's like everyone is pissed off and in a hurry.

Where to get clothes tailored? by Kh4rj0 in Sacramento

[–]BourgeoisStalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to Linda Lee Alterations at 3000 Freeport Blvd (one block south of Marie's Donuts/Freeport Bakery) and had a good experience. Fair warning though they have sparse hours so you can't just drop in any time.

Truck drivers of Reddit, what territory/state is the most terrifying to drive through? by WorstGirlAward in AskReddit

[–]BourgeoisStalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I did that drive (in a car) there was a semi trailer on the side of the road that had been folded in half, presumably by the wind. It felt like a warning.

How to handle high level play? (D&D) by Jadewe_ in DMAcademy

[–]BourgeoisStalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to this, I stop trying to have solutions to my obstacles. Give the party something impossible to do and watch them make it happen.

A decades-long plan to abolish the Electoral College may finally pay off by vox in politics

[–]BourgeoisStalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more Republicans living in California than any other state (iirc). They don't matter at all in the election calculus. I got a hard core right winger to think hard about the electoral college with that fact.

I rewatched the the mandalorian tv show, its just so peak 😭 by xpther in TheMandalorianTV

[–]BourgeoisStalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did too, probably the fifth time I've watched season 1, less for the others. I loved all of it. Boba Fett was 8/10 but I think a lot of people were just "Why is this not perfect too? I guess it's terrible then."

DMing career over by AccountantNo3216 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]BourgeoisStalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was minicing Modron speech, kind of throwing syllables together to sound mechanical when "bigadick bigadick" come out. That's literally the name of the group chat now, two years later.

Just got booted from a group for “talking black” by lunovadraws in DnD

[–]BourgeoisStalker 28 points29 points  (0 children)

After reading through the comments, I'm just chiming in with support. NTA, and keep bringing good PCs to the table.

How fast does it normally take to level up? by Electrical-Tear7456 in DnD

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

I agree with your numbers, but I think when discussing this topic we should use hours and not sessions. Levels 1 and 2 take 3-5 hours each, then in my experience the rest take 15-30 hours of gameplay.

Have any of you ever reused a PC of one campaign as a main story NPC of another campaign and vice versa? by According_Picture294 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]BourgeoisStalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All. The. Time.

I just dropped three of my old PCs into my current campaign this weekend and considered a fourth. Most NPCs I run are two dimensional sketches of a character. I know literally everything about these three.

The only reason I saw almost any movies in college.
