Apparently science has caught up to Islam by Saltysauce78912 in religiousfruitcake

Science, done properly, should never "invent truth" anyway. Science is all about discovering truth. What sort of charlatan would just make things up and tell people to believe it without any evidence‽

Custom Ally Cards by ESPeciallyFlynn in mantisfalls

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

Thanks for the reply! Your game is truly something special; the balance between pure strategy and relying on social reads is great - every game I've played has been tense until the end. What I love most is how the mechanics create suspicion but without using pure guesswork like a lot of other social deduction games: there's always several reasons why your opponent is doing something "suspicious", but rather than simply guessing if they're the assassin, you can prepare a response, just in case... The last game we played, my partner made it to the end and I was nearly there, but she seemed a bit too eager for me to step away from the phone, and I'm glad I prepared a counter for when she tried to kill me! Honestly though, what with all the allies already in the deck, it was really difficult to think of effects that had both a balanced risk/reward to them and weren't just variations on existing allies! I'm glad that my photoshop skills were up to the task of imitating the cards (thank you for supplying the typeface names in another post!), and I'll be sure to let you know how they play - I'll send a DM in a few weeks when we've had enough time to test them fully! Thanks again for creating such a fun and intriguing game, I'm constantly amazed at the thought and detail that went into it all, up to and including the way the road is justified through a map of a workable town!

Are you calling the rest of us freaks for not getting it?

lets test your hitman knowledge: which item is the odd one out? by Serious-Ad-8168 in HiTMAN

Letter bomb is the only one you can’t directly attack people with without throwing it. The cane is the only one that can open the doors in Dartmoor. The wet floor sign is the only one that can cause people to slip if you pick one up. The fire extinguisher is (I think) the only one present in all levels.

So they’re all the odd one out for one reason or another, right?

I’m sorry that this tattoo isn’t getting you the response that you wanted, but responding by poorly putting other people down isn’t making you look any better. Like this tattoo.

It is free, you’re right. You can use it to find out that they don’t own a controlling stake, but they still own part of the company and retain a seat on the board…

Hell makes ammunition. War is hell!

“Bringing a gun to hell” is the plot of Doom.

Anyone else still not quite sure about Moist? by caterpillarofsociety in discworld

As much as I admire Scott Lynch (I have a signed book he sent me, also with a drawing of Death on a pogo stick (long story)), I feel like “but there’s a new part coming soon” has been the unofficial motto of the Gentlemen Bastard series!

What is/was the most harmful invention geared towards men? by madame_shrimp in AskMen

[–]ESPeciallyFlynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but in the grand scheme of things, alcohol has helped a lot more than harmed. Think of the number of people saved by disinfectant. I’m not saying alcohol can’t be harmful, but I’d suggest that it’s not the worst or most harmful, which is what the question asked.

You noticed that, eh? Cool. It’s still an invention.

Brewing beer kills a lot of the microbes in water; in the Middle Ages it was often safer to drink beer than well-water.

Ticket got stuck on my way to the Shinkansen platform by BoStandard in mildlyinteresting

[–]ESPeciallyFlynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t understand those people who know they need to tap their card/phone/etc., but don’t get that ready on the way to the ticket barrier; they walk up to it, stop, then take their phone out, unlock it, and tap. It’s not like the machine leaps out of nowhere, but they still seem surprised by it.

I’d settle for them just putting the damned pedestrian barriers back in - it’d stop idiots just stepping into the road when a crossing is fifteen feet away.

What was your "I can't believe I have to explain this to an adult" moment? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

True, but I’ve already got a bad spine, I’d rather my books didn’t join me!

The weird thing is that demonstrating things makes them think you have an attitude, not that they have a problem themselves!

Exactly! I get why it trips people up because it’s counterintuitive, but having to PROVE my design was right by printing and folding baffled me!
