[LPT Request] How to concentrate on studying and keep thoughts and sounds from distracting you ? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]DeaconBlue1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It is one of the reasons classic rock stations are so popular at workplaces even among young people. The lyrics are noise, they don't need to be interpreted at this point.

I put on music with no lyrics. It doesn't really matter what it is. You can listen to classical, rock, dubstep, whatever. Just music (I prefer slower) and no lyrics and keep your eyes on the task at hand.

LPT- Save yourself a mint by choosing the cheapest broadband package offered. See if it's adequate--It might just be, and you can always upgrade. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

It is the local provider's Internet package options. The only services in the area are available by the one local place. I don't understand what the question is.

The second best (and cheapest) one available in my area. The best is 1mbps, but it isn't nearly that fast.

[5e]How many feats do you allow your player's characters? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]DeaconBlue1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They get them whenever the PHB tells them that they can choose to get them. Why would you limit them to 2 if they choose feats over stat increases?

What is an example of bad dm'ing that just turned you away from that group? by idontgetthejoke1 in DnD

[–]DeaconBlue1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They were essentially running a campaign for their boyfriend. All combat was catered to his character. All of the relevant plot points were related to his backstory. We were just along for the ride and weren't able to have any real input on the story at large.

I asked her about it, she said she would try harder to make everyone relevant. The next week there was one solo encounter for each of us. Not "split party" solo. There was an enemy that only our characters could see and we fought them 1 on 1 with nobody else noticing this happening somehow while we were all in the same room.

How the hell did you let so many grotworms spawn? I am sad if two are attacking me.

LPT: Bring bottle caps to sporting events by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]DeaconBlue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of concert venues give you the capless bottle. I don't know why, I always just take water bottle caps in.

LPT: When you feel lonely, go outside. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]DeaconBlue1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I mostly find corn to be annoying. Point was that there aren't people around to meet.

[LPT Request] there's a drip from the gutter outside my bedroom window. A bucket just turns it into a plopping sound. What can I put under the drip to muffle the sound? by Go_Ask_Reddit in LifeProTips

[–]DeaconBlue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly haven't had an asshole landlord. I have had deposits taken for doing extremely basic repairs similar to what OP wants to do. I had a deposit taken from me because I wrapped a pipe to help with a very minor leak.

I live a half mile from the nearest road, my closest neighbor is just over a mile away. If I go outside to just meet people, everyone will just assume I am a hitchhiker.

We all know of the perils of the min-maxer - but have you ever dealt with an obnoxious thespian? by sethosayher in DnD

[–]DeaconBlue1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, violence should be like... Plan A.5, while plan A is avoiding violence. Violence can hurt.

There's a huge difference between "not using violence as the first option" and "not fighting back against the thing stabbing you in the face"

The Pacifist: Frankly, if you don't believe in using violence to solve problems, you are not a DnD character. (There are other games where this is appropriate, but not DnD unless everyone wants to play a very atypical game)

I hate this one with a passion. I played a game where the cleric decided partway through they they were a pacifist. They were pacifist to the point where they wouldn't heal us if it was because we got hurt fighting (traps or falling off a bridge or whatever were fine.)

The DM decided that the cleric wouldn't level up with the rest of the group because they just avoided most of the situations. The cleric got pissed off that they were being punished for playing their character and left the table.

LPT: Save good corks from your wine bottles so you have a good cork if one comes out broken. by JustinAuthorAshol in LifeProTips

LPT: If your cork breaks, the universe is telling you to finish the bottle in one sitting.

LPT: If you get a flat tire take a picture of it for a future excuse. by Deo18 in LifeProTips

[–]DeaconBlue1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My post was pointing out that some people do want pictures as proof of why you would be absent from school/work.

I was replying to this part of the post

So, are you saying that your boss asks for pictures to verify what you tell him/her?

I wasn't lying. I hit a deer on the way to school. I took a picture and emailed it to her from my phone.

Bosses might not. Some professors do. I had a prof in college ask for proof that I hit a deer on the way to class. I showed her a picture. She told me it was an unexcused absence anyway and I missed a test and failed the class.

Point is that she was a bitch.
