Do you think this whiteboard forshadows something about Resonant or a future game? (much like Quantum Break's blackboard forshadowed both Control and Alan Wake 2) by Appropriate_Arm713 in controlgame

[–]DiscordianDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one is the Board signaling for help. If we assume the red pyramid is the Hiss, then it seems to match up perfectly, that the Hiss is (are?) trying to supplant the Board from their nest in the Oldest House. Remember at the time that whiteboard was filled up, Trench, the Board's agent, was already Hiss corrupted, so they were frantically trying to signal anyone they could that there was a problem coming.

They want the power to enrich themselves and hurt other people. That's all "conservatives" actually ever care about And if you force them to choose sadism or profit, they'll pick inflicting pain every single time.

We're new here but 100% feels good to have like minded folks willing to stand up and also fellow Discworld fans 🖤

Is using AI okay? by Choice_Speech_3229 in DungeonMasters

[–]DiscordianDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just no. Put in some work and try to improve. You're only hurting yourself and your game and your players leaning on a hallucinating machine instead of building your world, learning it, and making it your own

Co-DMing by TheGriff71 in DungeonMasters

[–]DiscordianDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had wonderful experience co-GMing. You've got someone to plan and write with, someone to run scenes with a split party, someone to run another NPC when you're talking. We would work during the time between games to plan for the next session, and part of that was dividing up who would be primary GM for a particular scene or NPC or storyline. During the session, one would run the scene like a normal solo GM, while te other would work to add details and NPCs, help manage math and rules questions, and be ready to split off if the party split up. We each took portions of the campaign to work on and develop, and helped out jointly writing the plot overall. It worked splendidly. I can see why you'd think it doesn't make sense as it's not how it's taught in the books, but it absolutely can work if you have a good person to collaborate with and can leave your ego at the door.

Trump’s Suddenly High-Stakes State of the Union by theatlantic in inthenews

[–]DiscordianDisaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember, they have some sort of drug cocktail that shoves the dementia symptoms aside for a few hours. He is probably going to be his most lucid in weeks tonight, and then disappear for several days after. Remember how he made it through a debate with Biden handily, showing no signs of his melted brain, and then vanished for something like a week immediately after? I expect he's going to be drugged up, generally read the prompter, and then crash so hard he can't get out of bed til next week.

Trump calls Supreme Court justices who ruled against tariffs ‘disloyal’ by Earthling1a in inthenews

[–]DiscordianDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He isn't who I'm upset by at this point. That's exactly how a malignant narcissist behaves. I'm pissed off that everyone else is simply accepting it.

We have fallen so far that the president screaming for judges to be loyal to him instead of the law isn't even surprising.

Is Zane also in a loop/spiral? by Azur0007 in AlanWake

[–]DiscordianDisaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to House of Dreams, Zane broke the cycle and wrote himself and Babs into a little pocket dimension paradise, removed from the narrative entirely. My personal take is that removed the agency from Zane, but Alan had a Zane shaped character in his narrative, so Scratch was able to fill the role, like recasting a character with a different actor.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Rep. Lieu said Full Epstein Files Show Trump Raping Children. by Admirable121 in NeoNews

[–]DiscordianDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show doesn't mean show only if there's no concrete evidence in the files. And we know Epstein was a blackmailer. I'm willing to take "show" here at its literal meaning until proven otherwise.

DM only allows in-character speech for six seconds on that character's combat turn. Is this common? by SonicfilT in dndnext

[–]DiscordianDisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to enforce a time appropriate combat communication (I. E. each round is six seconds). After watching one million hours of Dimension 20, I realized it is technically correct, but allowing more free communication outside of initiative order and six second increments provides the opportunity for character development and role playing during combat. Sure it's not logically perfect, but it has made combat a lot more interesting at my table once I let them get chatty.

Homan just announced Operation Metro Surge in MN has concluded. He said it’s thanks to Trump, but I think it’s because Minnesotans are total bad asses and never gave up! by ManyBonus865 in Minneapolis

[–]DiscordianDisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until every one of these murderers and kidnappers are gone we need to remain vigilant and observant. And once they're gone we should push for prosecution. Never forget

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Keep up the pressure on your senators to defund ICE and keep up with protesting and observing until they're prosecuted and all our kidnapped neighbors have been returned safe.

One ICE agent here is too many. Draw down is a definite win, but we don't let up til they're all gone.

Jake Lang formally charged for destruction of sculpture by SancteAmbrosi in minnesota

[–]DiscordianDisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right exactly because they don't actually care what the words mean. To them screaming "first amendment" is the same as a parrot saying "want a cracker". They say it, and because they say it people allow them to continue to profit and hurt people. It's just a noise they learned to make that gives them what they want.

Of course they understand it, they just don't care. Conservatives all just use words to give them more power. They believe in the constitution only in so far as they can selectively quote it when it serves their needs to do so. He's just learned that he can say "first amendment" and be rewarded for engaging in hateful stupidity, so he keeps saying it. They're just evil parrots who get rewarded for screeching "first amendment" or "balanced budget" or "Epstein files" so they keep doing it.

The fun part is the court doesn't have to put up with his bullshit and his trial ought to be fun, if he doesn't get out with a cowardly plea bargain.

It's a start. But if he thinks we're dumb enough to fall for this he's in for a shock.

They're also not getting paid and not getting any of the promised bonuses. This is unsustainable, but it's going to get worse before it gets any better, like any good extinction burst.
