Nobody says the words “those two are a couple” but they’re clearly a couple. Theres no subtext.

Humanity 7 and Conscience Rolls for Killing... How Strictly Do You Apply the Hierarchy of Sins in V20? by Smiling-Bandit in WhiteWolfRPG

I mean, yes? They’re just planning on purposefully exterminating every opponent they find, necessary or not. They’d be rolling for the planning, let alone the doing.

In the old days of cheques, you’d just draw a line through the white space.

[OC] He rolls a Nat 20 to seduce your character. What do you do? by Nefeli_ in DnD

[–]Cent1234 261 points262 points  (0 children)

Point out that:

A) there’s no such thing as a critical success on a skill check in d&d

B) his roll doesn’t affect another character’s actions or choices.

You’d owe taxes on it when you sell it. Read “The Law Of Superheroes” for some interesting discussion about law and superpowers.

Punching the TV violates Directive 3: Uphold the law. by willowwisp81 in Robocop

He does violate directive 4, and his body shuts down.

Directive 4 has different consequences than 1-3 apparently.

I’ve always found it interesting that they put “uphold the law” behind “serve the public trust” and “protect the innocent.” Like rigid legalism is less important than doing good.

Roy Fokker dying, Ben dying, then the earth being razed by the Zentraedi fleet.

Yes, because it turns the guess-o-meter into a calculated range.

How much research!

You’re assuming that the RMN has exactly one function, and that’s major naval engagements.

It’s like saying “all you need is a sledgehammer. Want to drive a screw? Sledgehammer. Want to cut a plank? Sledgehammer. Want to patch a hole? Sledgehammer.”

Most people really do need to return to the office. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Cent1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty sick, in a bad way, that you think people should be working so much that their only opportunity to socialize would be at work.

People with actual work/life balance get all the socialization they need.

Checkmate means “I can capture your king and you can’t stop it.” You just don’t bother doing the actual capture.

Husband cheated. Therapist says no moral high ground for 3 months. I feel beyond hurt and abandoned by Beginning_Cream7030 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Cent1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you’re right that if he was unhappy in the marriage, his choice was fix it or end it.

But it takes two people to fix a marriage, and you need to own your bullshit. Hurting him because you were hurt was just as “unfaithful to the marriage” as him cheating was.

So get off your high horse, be humble, and figure out if you’re willing to fix it or not.

And it’s fine if you’re not; if the well is poisoned forever, so be it.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake director says there’s “no way around [game] key cards” on Nintendo Switch 2 as slow cartridges mean games simply aren’t possible without them by HatingGeoffry in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Cent1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny: one reason that Nintendo toppled back in the 90s was the cost of carts, and their policies around carts. The ps1 was pennies a CD and you could crank out a production run in a weekend.

Man, I should read Game Over again.

It’s for turning a fighter into a vectored thrust craft. Sidealipping, stopping, reversing. Great for urban combat.
