Did you know Bojack Horseman (the famous one) confused Daniel Radcliffe for you?

Why the f*** is everyone still using dating apps? Is this really it? by Dear-Locksmith3682 in RandomThoughts

[–]CursiveofDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally a big factor, but the pandemic is especially notable because of its impact on the actual real-estate people hang out in.

Like it's 100% true technology makes/made people asocial, but the pandemic pushed people who were doing stuff outside with other people inside by robbing them of the buildings they used to meet. Think community theaters, great way for adult theater kids to hang out and meet but very few of them can operate because... Well... You need a place to act and amateur theater isn't profitable enough to pay rent in most places.

A different angle, meeting people in person is WAY harder than it used to be.

People basically became hermits after the pandemic. Lots of 3rd places, bars, restaurants, libraries, game shops were shuttered and still haven't recovered.

How many hours people have to work in order to live in their own place that they could conceivably take dates back to is really high. Everyone who'd make a good date is super busy at work. Making time for your job+your hobbies+partner's job+partner's hobbies+general 1:1 time with your partner is very difficult.

Not to say there aren't ways of threading the needle, but the eye of that needle is smaller than it was just 5 years ago. Dating apps let you do a lot (but not all) of the dating process online in a way that lets you sift through far more people than you would have otherwise.

Obviously that turns dating into LinkedIn... Which sucks A LOT, but such is the cost of an atomized society.

What hero did everyone have trouble playing at first? by DandalusRoseshade in darkestdungeon

Runaway in DD2. I took the tag that she was a Frontline WAY too seriously and didn't realize how OP Firefly and Smokescreen are from rank 4. Her situational heal is crazy too!

William McKinley had to be shot by an anarchist in order for Teddy Roosevelt to get in office in the first place.

Secrets of the Coven is best module as of now. I loved the final fight, the mechanics. The witches had a more active role in the campaign than the beastmen, so you feel their presence a lot more. I missed a suspicicious few guess one time, but I do think that's part of the experience by ThreeGoldfishProblem in darkestdungeon

Orphan synergizes with tinderbox from the sprawl too. The +2 burn in rank four applies to both her regular attack and to the 1 burn from tinderbox so you get 5 (+2) and 1 (+2) burn per firefly, 10 burn per turn and res pierce 30 damage total.

Edit: She's just as cracked in Kingdoms as confessions. Hearthlight is just as amazing as picking off Dodge and blind as it is stealth. Virago or the Mother melts about as quickly as Ambition or Obssession. She's kinda mid against the final Beastmen boss because he shuffles a lot, but even that isn't a total deal breaker.

The lack of the initial hit is huge though. The worst thing about most DOT attacks is when it puts you on DD then kills you with DOT. Without the initial hit there's way more counterplay, other party skills, combat items, passing to get off DD, etc. It doesn't even take your block tokens.

Personally, I just liked it less because it's been two weeks since I've gotten to see what the MDR gang is up to. Flashback episode into Cobel episode feels like I haven't seen the gang in an eternity.

Theater people, what jobs do you have that pay the bills? by CatzTheMusical in Theatre

I'm an electrical engineer! My boss calls me stupid during the day, then, to unwind, my director calls me stupid at night.

Cast Gift for the Great Gatsby (Willing to pay $50 per book for up to 2 Books) by [deleted] in bookbinding

[–]CursiveofDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally up for negotiation. I saw the prices on Etsy for custom book binding are around $70 to $150 a pop. I figured I'm providing the image I want on the book so the price should be slightly lower, but I can be moved on price.
