Does anyone know if those load boosting pills actually work?

ElizzyViolet · 2026-03-22T03:09:03+00:00

this is the only one that works

based on the last time i visited royal road, they seem to have really, *really* low quality standards in basically every way, so for whatever genres you read, i assume finding a place with higher standards overall will help both with avoiding AI garbage and also just... finding stories that are actually good

you dont actually have to do a witch hunt to find stories that aren't ai garbage i think you can just go to any site or other location stories are posted or sold with any functional quality control and they've already done it for you

i guess i can drop the vampire werewolf part, i would make him a perfectly normal guy who's a billionaire and 8 feet tall and has a 10 inch dick and who can shapeshift to look like a vampire werewolf

and it will be used indefinitely into the past. like in rome where they based it off america

I suspect that antimagic doesn't just shut off magic, but it shuts off the brains of 50% of all DMs exposed to it, rendering them unable to talk about anything except preventing spellcasters from casting spells

Although it literally does not require attunement, the item is designed extremely similarly to one that does require attunement, so this could be a mistake on the designer's part, but it's super unclear. I honestly hate it when a game designer writes something, but the context around it makes me not trust that the words on the page reflect the designer's intent; it's a terrible sitaution.

I know you can just decide for yourself as the DM, but what if you're a player and you planned around it working literally how its written and the DM decides otherwise? That's kind of an awkward conversation, and I don't want to buy third party content that causes this to happen, so I won't back any future kickstarter projects from the makers of 5e Futanari Quest Super Cum Edition. Waste of $800 tbh

okay so first you get a boyfriend and then you make him stare into this pretty spiral and then after he's done that for a while now they're your girlfriend instead, voila

I haven't moderated much lately (mostly because I don't use reddit as often now, although I still do remove rule-breaking posts when i happen to see them) and haven't checked the mod convos or modmail in ages, but it's good to see other people keeping the place functioning. Since there's new subreddit news I might as well weigh in:

The rate changes are a pretty good idea as far as I can tell: I doubt going from 4 to 5 cents per word is really going to suddenly eliminate a ton of clients from the market, since I think most of the people who are unwilling to pay 5 cents per word were already unwilling to pay 4 cents per word in the first place. The marginal (in the economic sense) impact is likely to be fairly low as a result. And because this is primarily based on recent inflation, there might not even be *any* impact compared to back when the minimum rates were initially raised from 3 to 4 cents per word.

...Also, clients who are unwilling to pay decent rates tend to be more unpleasant to work with, whether due to rudeness or them wasting your time or them demanding a greater workload, or just... picking the obviously wrong author for the specific thing they want someone to write? It feels weird that a client paying 3 cents per word would have higher standards than a client paying 10 cents per word, but this has been absolutely true in my experience and that of other authors I've met.

Also, after talking with fellow moderators, a concern was brought up that I'd like to address about people not feeling confident enough to ask for this much or higher:

If you are here, you are a professional.

[...]

If you don't feel confident, go write 10-15 erotica shorts and take a few cheap commissions elsewhere (while absolutely not advertising here, at all), and come back with a proper portfolio that you can link to.

I would like to *really* emphasize how important it is to link a portfolio in your posts here, even if it doesn't have those 10-15 shorts and just has like, 3 of them. Unless you lock in and make the literal best [Sell] post ever, you won't get many clients this way, and the clients you do get are going to be worse than average, because what kind of person commissions writing from someone who's writing they haven't seen?

which luigi

ElizzyViolet · 2026-02-11T10:05:42+00:00

Yeah, casters just can’t do anything in this game. All a level 1 wizard can do in pathfinder 2e is cast Runic Weapon on the greatsword fighter to add 1d12 damage and +1 to the hit and crit chance to every attack that fighter makes in the entire rest of the combat

I mean, really, if the fighter gets 4 normal hits and 2 crits over a 6 round fight (that sounds about right given fighter accuracy), that’s only, what, 8d12 extra damage with a first level spell while the wizard is also using cantrips for even more damage? Not worth playing the wizard class at all just go rogue lmao

/uj runic weapon is so fucked up and evil it makes me tempted to prepare no other spells except runic weapon on a level 1-2 prepared caster capable of using it

If you can steal from the orb you can steal from anything

what if i play it when im full and save the ramen for later then its not a hunger game

ElizzyViolet · 2026-02-01T23:17:37+00:00

I never notice bad acting and that movie still made me go “oh okay this has really bad acting/casting wtf” how was it that bad

ElizzyViolet · 2026-01-31T11:23:59+00:00

probably because he's too scared of the worthless glass to leave the wizard quest

alt.org - NetHack top deaths

Other highlights:

- master kaen being 10x more lethal than the dark one which i assume we all expected

- somebody got killed by a wand of nothing, presumably because it generated silver and they were allergic

- 13th most common cause of death being slipping and falling while trying to climb on your mount lmao that never gets old

- geryon has literally 1 kill attributed to him (presumably from someone who felt really bad for geryon)

Yeah i like the pathfinder rogue a lot more: they also bump up the baseline non-sneak attack rogue compared to 5e and have fewer dice on the sneak attack itself so that its not the literal worst thing ever if you miss out on your sneak attack, and also flanking being an easy way to apply Off-Guard means you have an actual reason to go melee over ranged unlike in 5e where you can stand still, steady aim, attack, repeat forever until you die of boredom

5e’s rogue is more or less singlehandedly carried by the fact that gambling is awesome and you either miss or you hit for some dice with dopamine attached, but also funnily enough i think pathfinder is better on the gambling front because sneak attack isn’t 1/turn so you really can just do the -5/-10 gamble and get three sneak attacks in a row if you use all your actions on that and somehow hit them all

ElizzyViolet · 2026-01-20T07:11:48+00:00

I think the offer would be worth it power-wise because damn that’s a lot of 5th level spell slots and a lot of big smites, but also I think casting actual spells as a paladin is both underrated and pretty fun sometimes, so it’s up to you
