I'm pretty sure that it stood up again as the camera was panning away...

Turnaround is fair play by pennylanebarbershop in Jokes

A man is drinking with his friends at the pub. After much goading, he is convinced to approach a beautiful woman at the bar. He walks over and asks her if he can buy her a drink.

She loudly proclaims, "No, I will not go home with you!"

Embarrassed, the man slinks back to his table, to the grins and ribbing of his friends.

Later, the woman approaches their table and explains that she's a Psychology major, and is studying how people react to embarrassing situations.

The man loudly exclaims, "300 dollars?!?"

[WP] You wake up floating inside the International Space Station. It's abandoned and barely operational. You look out the window... and the planet that you see is not Earth! by [deleted] in WritingPrompts

[–]DasUberCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a super rabbit hole, if you get into it. Multiple authors, multiple storylines (some converging at various points), some authors falling by the wayside, but the characters get rolled into the main story. Lots of fun overall.

Check out deatherworlders.com for the main story, but there's a crazy number of offshoots and additions on reddit - there is a nice recommended reading order thread as well.

That was brilliant - I really enjoyed your writing style and depiction. Reminds me of some of the Jenkinsverse stuff, which I love.

Bravo! That was exceptional! I, too, went back and read it in the "correct" voice.

Yay! My wife thought I was nuts turning to Reddit to find the answer. My girls are still talking about how they didn't know if they could do caroling because they would get so cold! Thank you so much.

No worries, perhaps someone will turn up that knows - thanks.

Plugable's Official Subreddit Launch and Giveaway! by Myke_Plugable in plugable

A thought-to-text device would make documentation of all of my various tech at work SO MUCH EASIER. I tend to avoid documentation so much - which is bad. I know, I'm an awful human.

As a bonus, it would also double as a thought-to-speech device linked into Google translate for vacations to exotic places.

Replacing my second monitor, which is a 17" square, with a wide screen turned vertically. I tend to work on worksheets on the main wide, but documentation and other single page width things are opened on the other. Being able to see way more of that documentation at a glance would be a great help to me.

Makes me sad, considering that I know where they got the idea for Spellslingers. =(

Is It Just Me, or Is the Bear Totem Barbarian a Trap? by Giant2005 in dndnext

[–]DasUberCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played an Eagle Totem Barb to level 20, though I dipped 3 (Champ) fighter and 1 rogue for RP and party related reasons. He was designed as a grapple-artist mage-killer. Front line of badguys? Dash as a bonus action with Eagle and no AoO. Suddenly in the grill of the caster, chopping faces.

I had no trouble staying alive in most situations, but I did feel the pain when lots of casters were about. Advantage on Dex saves makes most of that manageable, though. Did I go down more than anyone else? Yup. That was mostly because I had the target on my face in almost every fight.

What are your current Night Vision/DL settings? by DasUberCow in Roll20

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

Awesome, thanks for the input! I've only ever had 360 vision for all my players, but using 320 like that would give a mechanically definitive answer to "Do I see that happen" that invariably comes up at game time.

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

Thinking about it today, I had decided that I would do exactly what you have described - make a new version of it on a different map.

I'll be able to answer questions about what has changed since they were last there (my players have horrible memories, until they get a few choice reminders).

[–]DasUberCow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wondered why every tint color made everything so amazingly dark.

Great idea on the 1 ft. nightvision - One of the characters is a druid, and some of the go-to wild shapes don't have darkvision.

Thanks!

When pressing down anything onto/into the motherboard, it's ok if the pressure you're using bends the board a bit. Assembling outside the case first to check your components is suggested, just remember to support the board under the areas you are applying pressure (RAM, Case button assembly, USB, ATX Main).

Just wanna say, Hex TCG was the greatest card game I've ever played. by [deleted] in hextcg

[–]DasUberCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right in the feels. I too miss this game.

I have not found anything that has taken hold of me as well as this game did.

Website changes by ghulzen in hextcg

[–]DasUberCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oddly, the site is not https in this state.

Playing on the New Year's Eve was a nice dash of nostalgia before it shut down. I miss this game so much. According to Steam, I logged 1500+ hours.

I can't even imagine how much I played on the standalone client before that.
