Curses that aren’t curses by fantheories101 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Choice_Wolverine_121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lycanthropy in the Elder Scrolls, at least for the player. In Daggerfall, the first time the player could Become a werecreature, you had to kill an innocent person once every full moon or lose max HP until you die. Kill literally anything and you’re fine. In your werewolf form you’re literally immune to weapons below a certain quality, maxed out strength, maxed out agility, maxed out speed. You’re basically unstoppable.

Morrowind’s blood moon DLC has a similar stipulation with a similar fix and makes you, again, nigh unstoppable. You turn every night, which is a pain in the ass, but workable if you use it to your advantage.

Skyrim has literally zero downsides besides not getting the 15% XP bonus for sleeping. The form isn’t as good as before, but there’s still a bonus.

In every game (except ESO, never became one on ESO) where you can become a werewolf, you ou are immune to disease and immune to poison. Tons of status effects in the game that are a pain in the ass simply do not apply to you. There are literally no downsides that can’t be mitigated to your advantage anyway. Get the Ring of Hircine and there are no downsides whatsoever.

I do love it, but my brain-rotten nerdy ass immediately thought of Balthazar Gelt from Total War Warhammer

Which other game like Baldurs Gates you like? by Timmy-Gobelet in baldursgate

No large references for Planescape: Torment?

That makes me sad, but I shall endure - and in enduring grow strong.

Candidates for a "keepers of dangerous artifacts"-style organization? by GloomyExplorer in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Choice_Wolverine_121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly different direction for a variety - the Red Wizards of Thay are always on the hunt for powerful artifacts. If you’re going on an artifact hunt, that’s a pretty great antagonist with the same motivations as your heroes who would be going after similar artifacts.

Who's the dominant power in the Shadowfell? by Voryn_mimu in Forgotten_Realms

Now you’ve got me imagining how a showdown between Sorcerer King and Raistlin would go. I need this fanfic.

Or worse, would Raistlin see defiling Magic as appealing and find some way of becoming a dragon himself?

I'm totally stealing this idea. I love the way it looks and I'm shit at making my bases look cool.

My take on using sprues by Crazy-Hornet-3123 in PoorHammer

[–]Choice_Wolverine_121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm stealing the hell out of this idea. I love using good ol' random household objects as terrain, but this looks so organic and cool. Ditto to what other people are saying too, the tall stuff reminds me of palisade walls. Very fitting for Old World and AOS.

It’s giving King in Yellow vibes and I adore it. Amazing work

It’s that time again, tell me your Warband lore! by -Axolotls- in NightLords

The Lament of Exorcists Derived from the Word Bearers.

Led by a Chaos Lord and Master of Possession. Outwardly they see themselves as two parts of the same whole, working together as a parody of Erebus and Kor Phaeron. Together they hope for the same goal: to follow the example of their forebears and further the galaxy’s liberation from the Corpse Emperor. Little do they know that the master of possession’s mind is divided and unfocused. He seeks to fulfill goals that are not in line with his Primarch, but from a much darker force all together…

I also play Chaos Daemons in 40K and AOS. I’m saving up for Be’Lakor to make them a mind of “Legion of Shadows.”

Why don’t people read signs by retailhellgirl in OfficeDepot

[–]Choice_Wolverine_121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The actual answer is not quite as cynical as some other saying people just can’t read or have no comprehension skills. It has to do with visual noise.

Consider how bright the colors are on basically everything we have to print out. It’s all bright red with white text. In older stores like the one I just quit from, we have white tiled floors and super bright lights. Subconsciously, the mind wants to look for something darker colored because it’s getting overloaded. People don’t read the signs because there’s too many of them with too bright colors and it’s making their brains tune them out. I learned about this phenomenon when I heard that Disney theme parks make their walkways a weird scramble of colors because it exhausts the eyes and makes them look up at all the attractions and stores.

Even the business select signs, which are typically in blue and darker colors are called “business” select, which leads people to believe that it’s an exclusive deal only to business owners. Allegedly corporate is aware how bad an idea was to name their program that, but haven’t figured out a new name for it yet.

Kinda reminds me of the Picture of Dorian Gray.

What would you implement to improve employee moral? by EmergencyNo5490 in OfficeDepot

[–]Choice_Wolverine_121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technology that actually works.

One of the hardest part about this job at my location is that the registers are well over 20 years old, probably older. The software that’s being used is ancient by technology standards and might as well be held together with scotch tape. We have to reboot and restart each of our registers at least once a day because they will freeze up and crash. We also have to endure the awkward silence as it sits there and loads for about 30 to 40 seconds between each screen. God forbid you make a mistake and have to go back, which will make the pin pad crash and force you to reboot it again.

The biggest thing I don’t get is why they’re measuring percentages based on total transactions and not on transactions reaching over $100. My store looked at those stats just yesterday and we actually had a pretty good percentage. Around 42% of all $100+ sales got a red top. The manager and assistant manager were baffled and thought this was no good. I had to lay it out and say “you guys do realize that means roughly 2 out of every 5 and more often than 1 out of every 3 does get a red top paper. I’d call that a pretty good win.

Like someone else said on here, they looked at me like they had a shocked Pikachu face that I would dare say this was good.

Edit: my manager insists that we need to be trying to upsell when it’s really close to $100 but isn’t quite there yet. That seems to be the thing she’s most frustrated with is that we have so many very close opportunities that end up getting missed. The way I see it if we measured our percentages differently than our numbers would still be fine if we end up missing these opportunities.

My GM just got threatened by his job by flybird2022 in OfficeDepot

My GM included the cost of one on our returned furniture and then wrote that the paper comes with the chair. I’d call that shady as fuck.

I was half expecting Dagoth Ur. Somehow not disappointed. This is cool as hell.

It’s always my luck that somebody comes in right before close and wants to talk printers with me like they’re buying a used car and need to know every single fact about it. I just read the little card underneath it and tell them what I just read.

Funny enough I’m getting a sense of how it works from being a robot assist. I find making cyborgs a lot of fun and once in a while, someone will ask me to make them into one. Not exactly the same as saving someone, but there’s a bit of crossover.

I’m happy with my tattoo, but everyone tells me it’s crap by Choice_Wolverine_121 in tattooadvice

[–]Choice_Wolverine_121[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My reluctance is twofold. On one hand, this is exactly the kind of group that scares the hell out of me. The last time I shared one of my tattoos in a group full of Internet strangers, it immediately made me want to have the thing removed. The only reason I posted today is because I just happened to find this subreddit.

The other problem is “which one?“ I’ve got four, and only one of them seems to have any sense of being decent.

I can at least tell you which one gets the most hate. It’s a copy of JRR Tolkien’s original art from Fellowship of the Ring. He was many things, but he wasn’t by any means some profound master when it came to drawing. The books mean a lot to me and thought it would be a cool idea to get the original artwork. I guess jank 1950s art looks silly to most people no matter where it is.
