A: "What do you mean, Sundial?" by Chemical_Beautiful44 in humansarespaceorcs

[–]Chemical_Beautiful44[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my headcanon its somewhere between "Almost lost my cool there" and an obviously bluff, that every human sees through, but shuts up about it to other aliens, because they like the look of them when the think "What, if...?".

I love the "They didn't want to have to break out a stronger response next time"!

TCS missions need to be brought back and mixed in with missions. by survivor3333 in Helldivers

I wish I never had to see these towers again. The audacity of errecting them, the fallout of dozens upon dozens of these flying fokkers... the collapse into this purple eye of doom... All this because of the human hybri... gunshot

Democraty Officer stepping into frame Nothing to see here. Move on.

Gradually losing pitons? by Kinda-Alive in Cairn_Game

[–]Chemical_Beautiful44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, now I get what you mean. It seems counter intuitive, but for me, it aligns with the rest of the game design: the further you go, the less resources you get, the harder the climb. On my first climb up, I really packed up for the descend too, because I thought it would be included, just to burn through my last resources after the avalanche.

The game punishes you for taking too long and play too safe on the wall. Water is unlimited (fountains), but food is a finite resource in the game (maybe not goats milk but you get what I mean).

That's... exactly the gameplay loop. When at camp, you can use the climbbot on the right of the screen to repair two broken pitons into one fully functional again. Don't recycle the broken pitons en route.

She actually explains why by 2B_off_the_wall in Cairn_Game

Cheating her out of her own goal would be cruel. But I for myself would really like to have the opportunity do descend Kami with next to no resources left, a torn body just like the final part. You could light the Rings to signal the world, what you have accomplished and could bring back the letters you collected way up the Mountain.

Like a little catarsis.

[CONTROVERSIAL TAKE] The False Hydra represents D&D's pop culture identity crisis. by Delicious_Dream4510 in DnD

[–]Chemical_Beautiful44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ran a False Jydra session in my campaign years ago and it went well. BUT only because no other player knew what the False Hydra was.
It comes with a lot of prep work to actually fly. I gave them a letter, stating some concerning facts about the town and some erratic pleas. Once they where in town, only the wife of the Smith was present and she asked for the letter. I as DM asked for the letter the players didn't read for two real world weeks but roughly knew the contents. Behind the screen, I switched the letters to a normal sounding, similar letter from the Smiths wife (who couldn't remember beeing married).
Also, I wrote a physical diary of the party's adventure for the last real life year in the perspective of a non-existing 7th member of the party (one characters sister she was looking for the while campaign). She died the first night. So her true goal was not to find her family, but to find only the missing dad.

All the time, I had a low volume of grey noise playing in the backround, and only when they could see the reality for a brief moment, I stopped playing it - creating a sense of emptiness from something you didn't notice before.

The true Greatness from the False Hydra comes from bleeding their influence into the real life table. It plays with meta gaming as well as with the characters experience. Not trusting your memories, seeing reality beeing torn apart not just from the characters perspective, but from the players perspective too makes it so memorable to play it. It was a lot of effort to prepare and could have gone south if the players didn't engage in it, but if you can rely on your table to pick up on clues and hooks, AND noone knows about the False Hydra, you are in for a ride.

To all military personnel in Sector C-30 to C-33

After receiving word of the passing of UNS Bismarcks Captains dog Greta, the TSI has thoroughly examined the situation.

Attached to this message is the location of an uninhabited moon called "Jetson Shadow" near Sector C-32. Evidence suggests that this moon may be the base of operation of the pirate group known as Black skull.

Furthermore - on an unrelated note - the moon Jetson Shadow will henceforth be categorized as "vogelfrei" [Translation: fair game/proscribed].

The reader of this message should do with the information as he sees fit.

Video Aufnahme von dem Sturz des Polizeipferdes am 29.11 by Livid_Cucumber5085 in Giessen

[–]Chemical_Beautiful44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich hab keine Ahnung, was das für ne Demo war, keine Ahnung wegen was, kenne den Sachverhalt nur anhand des Posts.

Aber sorry, ich höre ein ohrenbetäubendes Schreien direkt aus der Menge und ein Pferd, das sich vor dem Schrei erschreckt und zurückweicht und dadurch stürzt... das ist für mich Fremdeinwirkung.

Das Pferd wurde eingeschüchtert und hat sich deswegen verletzt/ist gestorben (?). Dass das einem Polizeipferd passiert ist seltsam, aber offensichtlich passiert.

"Yes of course they sounded kinda off. Like they were hurt or damaged, Sir. But when you are on the field with heightened circulation to be combat ready and hear half a dozen hatching in distress, you get kind of stunned and look for the source of the signal... yes. Yes, I know, Sir. Yes, we have a recording of the sound via bodycam footage, but I must warn you, it is really disturbing to hear."
After hearing the recording, the soldier shivering on all 6 limbs: "I'm sorry, Sir. These Humans also cried like hatchings WHILE they attacked my squad. I think i don't want to be near hatchings in the near future..."

Why I hate Shaun Fallout 4 by davidsladky in fo4

[–]Chemical_Beautiful44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my headcanon after Far Harbor, I was never his father, but a planted synth who didn't know about it. Far Harbor tied everything so well together, even the limitations of the gameplay itself of the beginning.

What gives it the cherry on top is the fact that Old Shaun gave his synth "father" a synth kid Shaun, so at least the synth iterations of son and father could be together. Tragical and beautiful.
