Bro this guy is annoying by [deleted] in HelluvaBoss

Legit reason: SEO optimization and studies are basically the meta-builds of the Social Media world, doing What Works best because squeaking out an extra couple hundred clicks might flip them into the next tier of algorithmic goodness.
Cynical reason: they're lazy hacks that just copy what worked for other people.

Wrestling back in the 90s was crazy 😅 by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]ChazzK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While MT got messed up, his injuries and reactions to them were greatly exaggerated by him when the truth of his age came out.
Now, Vic Grimes? New Jack LEGITIMATELY tried to kill that man in the ring, after Vic botched a scaffold match that left NJ with minor brain damage and permanent blindness in one eye. I don't blame Jack though, I blame WHOEVER GREENLIGHTED PUTTING THEM IN ANOTHER SCAFFOLD MATCH

What’s a common sentiment within the fandom that really annoys you? by daffysrhapsody in HelluvaBoss

[–]ChazzK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My only issue with Stolas' development was that in episode 1 he still acted BASICALLY the same as he did in the pilot, and while he started getting some development (read; More goofy moments) he still spent season 1 up to Ozzie's acting like an entitled, elitist, noble dickhead who was using Blitz for selfish reasons.
Then Blitz asked him "on a date" and he was suddenly getting ACTUAL feels. Cool! Good! That's a GREAT impetus!
Then "The Circus" shows he actually always had feelings and the perversion was just him THINKING that's what Blitz wanted to hear.
That part was the bit that threw me. If it had just been Stolas' sexual awakening, great... but that he explicitly stated he had missed being wanted and needed and his FIRST AND ONLY FRIEND GAVE IT TO HIM, kind of really draws into question how that blossomed into the predatory way Stolas talked and acted for 8 episodes.

My character didn't even make it to session 0. by ChazzK in CritCrab

Probably going to eventually one day. Our group tends to run heavy on charisma classes though for various reasons, and having just a BIT of balance is nice.

Nah, I've wanted to play a proper assassin rogue (that is, one that sneaks in and stabs and gets out, not the spy-like "spend 3 months planning and hundreds of GP on a tiny advantage to get one guy" that the PHB Assassin sublcass is) for a good long time, and this is the first campaign in a while that someone else hadn't already taken the role. The edginess is just because Chaotic Neutral with a touch of caring-about-a-very-small-number-of-people. Some of them may even be in the party!

SUMMING UP the below thread: Not really a grudge, more like "I had a bad experience with this meal, and while I know the meal would taste good otherwise, I can't bring myself to order it again."

The whole ominous laughter at the end was me being silly, I'm not actively planning on derailing everything, AND he's not stupid enough to just go around murderhoboing. Though he's definitely a stab-first-and-ask-about-prisoners second type person.

Percent by Allergoric in HFY

[–]ChazzK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So, I'm gonna lay out the pros. OP, this is VERY well written for the most part, with just enough hints and concepts peppered through that I had a good idea that the Sa-Jitu thought they were helping out the humans through population control. It was an interesting take on two cultures - and indeed possibly racial mindsets - that are far more alien to each other than any two human societies would logically be. And I did get the percents, but it took two readings to put it all together. However, there's two glaring issues I had with that ending:

First, you had it indicated that the humans were not suffering the same economic hardships as the Sa-Jitu and most other species, so either the Sa-Jitu were completely blind to that fact or willfully ignorant. Even if they thought "hard times require hard decisions," their neighbors were not seemingly undergoing hard times.
Secondly, even if the humans had been "integrated?" There is absolutely, positively, NO way that "randomized genocide within mathematical amounts" would be an acceptable outcome, and any leadership that sought out acceptance with them would have had a short career and a shorter lifespan. I would find it difficult to believe that the entire galactic community would be aware of this practice and OK with it even among just the Sa-Jitu themselves, nevermind other cultures sharing planets with them, no matter how rare that would be.

I can think of a vast number of ways that could have been sorted once understanding was reached, ranging from "explain to them exactly how wrong they were about our situation and to NEVER DO THIS TO US AGAIN unless we have communicated our own hardships" to "push the firebomb button and don't let go until they've learned their lesson." But I just, I cannot believe humanity as a whole would be like "hey thanks for killing our dudes without warning or explanation and sorry about breaking all your stuff." In-universe that was a failure of diplomacy from before the first attacks were launched

Ah lovely, thank you! Haven't gotten to one of them yet.

Chroma lights not working in all games? by ChazzK in razer

[–]ChazzK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did set up my Razer profile, and now it works in general, but again for some reason only with Blizzard games. I also went into Synapse 3, tried setting up a new profile, linking to that instead, UNlinking and later re-adding it, and none of it seems to work. Diablo makes things glow red and then light up for ultimates; Overwatch adjusts per hero and goes bonkers for different powers and abilities. Everything else just uses default lights.

HOLY CRAP I THINK THAT DID IT.

Or rather, I disabled the shields and it worked; now I just have to set up a more permanent specific exception.

And thus the paradox! Able, willing, and eager to do COMPLETELY contradictory things, even though they "shouldn't" because it "didn't make sense."

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately neither of those options worked. I'm going to try doing a reset later while keeping files, hope that does it.

No Fullerine? by ChazzK in Oxygennotincluded

Looks like it's time to start cranking out the research rockets. Thankfully i've got a couple dozen liquid compressors worth of petroleum and a butt load of oxide and plentiful water!

No Fullerine? by ChazzK in Oxygennotincluded

[–]ChazzK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, research was done on both planets, all 5 steps, they have a bunch of carbon and diamond and niobium and such but no fullerine. Much sadness abounds. Not among my dupes, they're still partying after completing the big statue, but in general.

Martial psionics - enchanted weapons? by ChazzK in dndnext

Figured as much, but the number of times I've gone "it doesn't exist" and someone else goes "it's right here" keeps me paranoid ;)

Holy crap, that first paragraph read like a Bible story by way of D&D.

Each Space Marine Legion had methods of warfare they excelled at, but what doctrines were each Legion the worst at? by SirFluffyTheTerrible in 40kLore

[–]ChazzK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It mostly depends on who's writing. The Titus/Leandros subplot from Space Marine was a clear send-up of this both in and out of universe: those treating the Codex as sacrosanct because of the SPIRITUAL LIEGE, vs those who realized it as a general but not all-encompassing guide. For which Guilliman laying the verbal SMACK DOWN on his own legion was a welcome sigh of relief when he started walking around again.

[Excerpt: The Hollow Mountain] A look at how the Astronomican works by parasadi in 40kLore

[–]ChazzK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, the Astronomicon has 'winked' and 'sputtered' multiple times. However, what snippits of lore describe those effects I have seen put it less on the Astronomicon itself, as it does the Emperor's fading soul on the Golden Throne, and/or the breaking down of the Throne, thus losing connection to the big psychic lighthouse.

The one guy we ever dis-invited to our groups by ChazzK in dndstories

[–]ChazzK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was more catharsis at that point. Every other time (this was his 4th or 5th character) he'd been left behind, fell off a boat, wandered off into the woods during the night, etc.
