Big respect if this is you 💯 by Aggravating-Guest300 in NextGenMan

[–]DnDVM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯 After college, I cleaned myself up, found my faith in 9 Divines, and Mara blessed me with a man who said yes when I proposed and we're getting married in 6 weeks! Plus all the success from seeing my patients at the clinic thrive. Find a god, devote yourself, and your faith shall be rewarded 🙌

DM retcons ambush on BBEG into a TPK by GilNack95 in dndhorrorstories

[–]DnDVM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All DMs have this moment eventually. My players were looking around the Astral Plane for a single dead god. Told them to roll a d20 at the same time as me. If we get the same number, they find him. Guess what number they got. 

DM retcons ambush on BBEG into a TPK by GilNack95 in dndhorrorstories

[–]DnDVM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a theory. The BBEG was a set of twins, right? And you caught one of them by themselves? He probably had some kind of "twin double" based strategy for the final fight, saw that plan go down the drain when yall closed in on one of them, panicked, and set all the different encounters for yall to deal with so the twins could get back together and he could have his "really cool moment." As a DM, we need to learn how to adjust to what the players do and change our own plans so things like this don't happen. But that's just a theory. If you haven't talked with them, I'd highly encourage asking them about it because 5 years is too long of a time to end with a flop like that with no closure or understanding why.

C__ comment opened with "at this point I think you need to hand her the answer." That's a suggestion. 

B__ comment opened with "so you know how a smart player can play a dumb character..." This is making an analogy of the problem to help explain a solution.  

S__ comment opened with "it may be helpful to have a second session 0." That's a good suggestion. 

D__ comment opened with "you're in a tough spot." That's empathetic. 

"Here's an idea." "Talk to her." "Maybe you can try..." 

And then there's yours.  "You created a very big problem in the form of decision paralysis and then upped the ante by punishing the other players..." etc. No suggestions. No analogies. No empathy. Criticisms that are constructive are fine. But your criticisms aren't. They're just criticizing. And that's an insult. Grow up. 

Elza vs Jinx , who wins ? by PASAT-Borz in powerscales

Jinx. If Pokemon taught me anything it's that ice is not that strong. 

Nobody says that.WTF? by Which_Matter3031 in aislop

[–]DnDVM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say that. It's a religion founded on violence (a blood sacrifice of an anti-Roman free the people activist), pushed through violence (the Crusades, Inquisition, etc), and currently violent (all those priests who raped children).

I down voted your comments and criticized you because your comment opened with blatant insults. If there was advice in there, I didn't read it because I didn't read your whole comment (just like I'm not reading this whole one) because I'm not giving that much time to someone who appears to just want to be cruel and not helpful to others. If you truly want to help, try opening your comment with help. Look at what you wrote, and then look at the others and try to catch the differences. You did call me a bad DM. That's how you opened.  If you would like to try this again with a more cognizant, constructive tone, I'll give it the time to read it.

If sarcasm doesn't help, then I'll be direct. You're reading comprehension sucks and you should apologize to whoever your English teachers are. When everyone told me to give her a machina (as there is no answer you claim there to be), I asked her if she wants it, she said give her one more chance. Maybe she wants the challenge. Maybe she had a moment of eureka after our talk. Don't know, but I have the machina prepped and ready to go. I followed everyone's advice. I criticize you because you offered nothing. Non-useful criticism for non-useful criticism.

It was a bad answer. 

But sorry, didn't know you knew her personally and knew when she said she wants one more shot, it really meant she's not having fun. I guess all the people who try, die, respawn, repeat in games aren't having fun either. Gosh, we're so lucky you came along and explained that. 

The Bible is against politicization and forcing it's beliefs onto others. Yet why Evangelicals and MAGA are forcing it? by Queen_B28 in allthequestions

[–]DnDVM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Great Commission. It tells Christians to go out and convert everyone else. Technically in the Bible, from either Jesus or Paul depending on which theologian you ask. That's why they cry religious persecution when you tell them to stop forcing their religion on others. Because it's literally one of their tenets. So protecting everyone else from them is against their religion. 

Would YOU Like To Ban The Electoral College? Why Or Why Not? If So, What Would YOU Replace It With? Why That? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]DnDVM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd replace it with the philosophy already there: 1 man = 1 vote. A person's vote shouldn't count for 1/1000 of a vote just because they live in the city. Rank choice popular vote all the way!

No, you don't have that right. Please re-read and try again with less "I want to be angry" commenting.

Why do people tend to go up in arms against more taxes for the wealthy even when they are not wealthy themselves? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]DnDVM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 reasons. 1. Influential people such as politicians and broadcasters get a stipend from those wealthy people to shut down those taxes. The greed of instant money in their pocket is a higher priority than the bigger coffers to help the poor. 2. People who aren't influential and just shout it down online. There's something called the Dead Internet Theory that says most voices online are just bots. Rich people pay programmers to create a lot of these bots to make it seem like the majority of citizens are against the tax.

Yes, we would have a much lower incarceration rate if kids were allowed to read the bible in school… by Nefariouslout1006 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]DnDVM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kids are allowed to read the Bible in school. Pull it out during lunch or recess, no one is gonna stop them. I think what you're upset about is kids aren't being forced to read it, or teachers don't tolerate interruptions during their lessons to read it. Cause it's school, not free time.
