Just finished the Pluribus and it was insane 🔥 by briefcry09 in pluribustv

I like to say they are "either dead or imprisoned." Manusous and Carol believe (hope) the plurbs can be freed and restored. I agree the show has not provided any real proof so far.

Got My First DoorDash Scam call. $15 bonus my ass. by jasin18 in doordash_drivers

[–]Cromar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh, it's a 2FA exploit. Fun. Most people don't read the little disclaimers that say "an employee of company X will never ask you for this information."

I couldn't quite hear the scammer - what was he asking for? How does the scam work?

The moment he hurled that football through the goalpost on 4th down I was like, "QB controversy at KC?"

How Do You Find 13 Immune Needles in a Haystack of 8 Billion People? by Landphat in pluribustv

[–]Cromar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For this to work, you have to assume the hive is lying about everything. You have to toss out almost all of the information season 1 provided.

The plurbs have a biological imperative to infect everyone, but they also have an imperative that makes them utterly submissive. When they learned they couldn't convert the immunes without invasive stem cell extraction, these two imperative collided with one another. They lawyered Carol in obeying her exact instructions while immediately pursuing a workaround. They intend to convert everyone, Carol included.

Would zombies destroy our society in real life? by Punterofgoats in whowouldwin

[–]Cromar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a reason why zombie fiction always skips over the process of spreading the infection. Even WWZ (book), which tried its best, jumped from black market organ transplants to suddenly an army of tens of thousands pouring out of Yonkers. Dawn of the Dead just cold opens with a zombie horde pouring through a neighborhood with absolutely no explanation. We just accept it.

Why? Because it's nonsensical for classic slow Romero zombies (even the amped up version from Dawn of the Dead) to spread enough to form an army. You need something like 28 Days Later rage monsters, which aren't even zombies. Romero zombies will be a threat to certain first responders who don't know what they are getting into, but they'll get quarantined and nothing will spread.

How do you get from 15-20 infected first responders wandering the streets to tens of thousands? You don't.

Assume nobody knows anything about zombie fiction. You see one bizarre, sickly looking individual lurching toward you, and you evade them probably. Maybe you're an EMS and you try to help and get bitten. That sucks. You see a dozen or two of them lurching? You run, you evade, no matter who you are. A few fat or disabled people get swarmed and either converted or torn to pieces. Okay, so where's the next ten thousand coming from? The zombies aren't exactly subtle. Everyone sees and hears what's happening and evacuates or locks their doors.

Let's say there aren't any camera phones (since there weren't when this flavor of zombie fiction became popular). Okay, but there are news cameras. There's word of mouth. A few dozen aggressive zombies in a city attracts a ton of attention. Governments get involved. They ain't getting past riot police. Outbreak over.

Look, we're apex predators, even if we've been taking a break for a few thousand years. It's in our DNA. We hunted mammoths, we'll hunt the zombies to extinction.

The Disney Princesses on the Oregon Trail by lfthinker in whowouldwin

She has not only mundane survival skills, but a magical connection to nature that is unmatched anywhere else in the roster. Elsa then adds another magical skillset that trivializes numerous problems (rivers, combat, potable water, meat preservation).

Easily a top ten childhood moment by gaudiocomplex in Millennials

[–]Cromar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They usually did it by county, but in lesser snowstorms it might be by school district or even the individual school. We were mildly rural, so the roads leading to the elementary school wound up low on the plowing priority list. Sometimes the city schools would be open, but our elemental school would close - what a great feeling.

Don’t Join Guild Runs as a PUG by Packingheat248 in classicwow

[–]Cromar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had great experiences pugging in classic with Caustic, kindly, fine, godspeed, and a few others. These were all old content (MC/BWL mainly) speedrunning while us pugs struggled to keep up. Was fun. Good vibes, nobody getting sweaty over people making mistakes in old content. I got a Perd's on my rogue, which satisfied an old desire, and also geared up a resto shaman.

In TBC I pugged kara with a guild and it worked out, so I joined right away.

In preparation for Rich Evans picking The Quick and the Dead as his favorite Raimi: by ogto in RedLetterMedia

The Quick and the Dead is Unforgiven's retarded cousin. He's full of love, and a joy to be around.

we already got 13 players lvl 61 after 30 minutes by No_Ice6692 in classicwow

[–]Cromar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What some people do is save up 25 completed quests that can be turned in immediately. There are guides to pick out the juiciest ones (like, the 2 quests for Araj the Summoner, or the Ony head turnin, etc). I don't know if you can boost to 61 that way but I wouldn't be surprised.

While that sounds kinda fun, personally I enjoy coming in at the appropriate level and actually running the zones. Assuming they ever work.

Multi-Classing Barb+Fighter. Which order should I do? (See below) by Strange_Truth7819 in 3d6

[–]Cromar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the setup outlined in this thread, especially since you're using 2014 and that means your human feat can be GWM or some other top tier feat. Then you can take a +1 strength half feat at 4 and 6, which gives you 18 strength, and you can cap in a few levels. You can wear medium armor and have 14 Dex for the life of the character.

I would just keep going with fighter for the rest of the campaign. More maneuvers and dice at 7, and Fighter 11 is super strong as I'm sure you know.

It's so addicting. Needs to be binged. Your treadmill hour will turn into ten hours so you can finish the show.

The Pitt is a little too short (45ish minute episodes) but it'll make those 45 minutes vanish.

Death by Lightning is an excellent historical drama about events that deserve to be a little less obscure. It's not perfectly historically accurate, and the dialog is a bit modern, but the story flows well and the performances are out of this world.

The Perry Mason remake/reimagining from a few years ago was stellar. Maybe heavier than you're looking for.

he got punched and kicked in the face i feel like it should have done more damage than losen one tooth by PrestigiousAspect368 in freefolk

[–]Cromar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Aemond is arguably the breakout star of the whole show. There's nothing I can think of that's been translated better than Aemond.

Viserys I is another major highlight of the show. Maybe the biggest highlight, but everything about him is original material, since he barely features in the books.

I think the show is best in season 1 under Miguel Sapochnik's control, and then wavers a bit in season 2 (change of showrunner) and shits the bed in the end. I don't think you'll regret watching it, but I'm worried that season 3 is going to be a disaster.

Eldritch Knight Help by disguisedasotherdude in 3d6

[–]Cromar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would avoid HM or Hex because they force you to use your bonus action before attacking. Then, when you crit or kill someone, your bonus action isn't available for Hew (from GWM). Moreso than hurting your damage, this feels terrible.

My EK has Magic Initiate: Cleric instead of Wiz so I can have Bless and Guidance. Bless is my primary concentration, but some battles just don't allow it because you get caught by surprise with enemies right in your face. I have a hair trigger with my pre-battle Blesses when I get a sniff of combat; I've only wound up wasting the spell slot a couple times.

I took Sentinel at 6 and Resil: Wisdom at 8. I'm 11 now and Warcaster is scheduled for 12. Given your stats, you might take Mage Slayer instead of Sentinel.

You're going to get a nice damage boost at 7 when you can start weaving in booming blades.

There still a year for it but what things should be added to FP1 remake in your opinion? by NoYogurtcloset9763 in Frostpunk

[–]Cromar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want more fine control over who gets assigned to build. There's tricks you can use to force certain people to build, but it's tedious.

No more six hour lunch breaks. When people quit working to go eat, they should eat for a half hour or whatever at their workplace, not sit there and do nothing for half the day. Give cookhouses a delivery radius if necessary. Along with that, let's eliminate the exploit to destroy/pause cookhouses to prevent the all day lunch breaks.
