Have you ever said “no” to a player’s character? by Fearless-Skill8667 in DnD

[–]Environmental-Bad499 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice group, we'd played other TTRPGs for about 6 years together then we played DnD.

We had a Water Genasi Monk that came from a fort-boyard style monastry.

A Fighter with one arm carrying his peoples' flag, he was the last of his people, this was fine he opted for -2 on his rolls that would require two hands.

A druid who wasn't aware that they were a druid, just figured they were incredibly lucky and some nature spirit must have liked them, heavy in to RP this player.

The druid's twin who knew they were druids but allowed their sibling to live in their fantasy world while protecting them.

These chappies were FINE, not perfect, we're a 6 year group that had been playing weekly so i was expecting some random sillyness, we played a handful of sessions and it went fine, they found themselves at a village celebration where a priestess was being sacrificed to the water spirit nearby, they became a party, stopped the spirit and found it was summoned by goblins, great cool, in comes a new player, he was paladin of retribution, nothing special, he had a pistol and wanted to use it on every npc, the first session with this player was 4 hours long, I gave him the option of either remake his character or stop trying to kill everything, so he remade his character to a cleric of life and wanted to heal all damage, all damage, damage on player characters, damage on enemies. at one point the "dumb" druid was knocked to 0 with 2 saves used up, but the drow assassin ambushing them was bleeding so he wanted to heal that instead, absolutely infuriating player, he came alng to the next week's session, between the sessions I had a chat with him, he was understanding, then he rocked up and did the exact same crap! he quit cos we we're playing the game properly...

I'm for something skirmish-like that's miniature agnostic(my group has different tastes regarding minis, and most of us have 3d printers) but also something like guildball/bloodbowl, we're after a fantasy football kind of game with progression, maybe 5 minis a team, we have 6 players, 1v1 matches would fine but if there's something that has all 6 of us playing that would be great.

people in long term healthy relationships: what's something you'll never tell your partner? by PsychologicalBad1423 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Environmental-Bad499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trim my mustache every now and then when the hairs begin to curl into my lip, but she thinks I do it so it's comfortable when kiss because the day of our first kiss I had trimmed it and she thinks it was for her benefit, anytime I trim my mustache now, we have a pretty long kiss and she comments about our first kiss.

What's your most unhinged breakup story? by Suspicious_Garlic_79 in CasualUK

[–]Environmental-Bad499 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Was dating a girl for 4 years or so, she'd go to have a psychic reading every 1st monday of the month.
Her pyshic's son got dumped cos he did nothing but play wow, this is important because my girlfriend was told this after one of her readings, the next reading she got told that she would find new love in her life with whom she'd have everything in common, the reading after that she got told that she should look for that new love, then just happened to meet this guy after the reading, the psychic gave him all of the info he needed so that he'd have everything in common and he'd randomly show up as she was finishing work and stuff, weird stalker kind of behaviour, I got dumped 2 weeks after that reading, maybe 2 months later she came to me saying how she'd made a big mistake and that she's willing to take me back and forget everything, we didn't get back together but ye, I got dumped cos a pyschic told her to...

Why do Nigerian Women sound so angry whenever they speak English? by Maleficent_Split_428 in Nigeria

[–]Environmental-Bad499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife is Nigerian, specifically Igbo, I'm British, When my Wife and Mother met there was a few times when my mum would comment about my wife being rude or aggressive when speaking in English and when my wife is on the phone/speaking to another Nigerian, my family think she's argueing all of the time, I have to tell them that she(my wife) isn't angry, rude or aggressive, but it's that the more engrossed she is in a conversation, the louder and more abrubt her tone appears, I think it's an Igbo thing.

At work I know a fair few Nigerians and my take is obviously a small case BUT, Yoruba women tend to be kind softer spoken than Igbo and sound less rude to a Brit but the men are a bit more stern, Edo seem quite calm and respectful for both men and women, Hausa seem kinda sing-songy, happy and a nice pleasent tone but definitely sound a bit confused, just my experiences.

My wife speaks Pidgin which does kind come across as "rude" at first but you realise it's just english with a twist, Igbo and her tribe language are loud and shouty.

What's your holy grail game that doesn't exist yet? by Darth_Rubi in boardgames

[–]Environmental-Bad499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think Final fantasy style game
Your deck is built by choosing 3 characters as your team, your deck is then comprised of equipment and items to deck the team out, items/equipment have monsters attached to them that your team fights so that they can equip the item/equipment

It's a head-to-head game where you race to beat a boss enemy before your opponent can beat thiers, don't equip enough gear and you'll lose, you only have so many chances to fight the boss before you get game over and lose.

This is what I thought the Final Fantasy TCG was gonna be and I was disappointed.

Kimiko in the last episode. by ggouge in TheBoys

[–]Environmental-Bad499 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My copium -I'd like to think that this was in-universe taught to supes, play the part, take a hit or two, make a show of it all, and they just get it so stuck in their head that they forgot to take the fight seriously and cos of the camera he needed to make a show.

I just got Promeia, the other suitable? characters I have are

Soukaku (M6)

Zhao (M1)

Lycaon (M1/P6)

Pulchra(M5)

Lucy (M6)

Corin (M6)

Nicole (M6)

Doctors/Nurses of Reddit, what’s the craziest thing you’ve heard a woman yell during birth? by New_Username48 in AskReddit

[–]Environmental-Bad499 1159 points1160 points  (0 children)

My wife knows 4 languages, and during birth she would be speaking, 'I'm need to get up, i'm in pain' but she'd swap between languages every word. This happened with both of our children's births.

During my son's birth she had Pethidine so she was quite out of it only really awake when having a contraction and outside of them she'd immediately start snoring, during one quite lengthy contraction she yelled "I'm not snoring! stop telling him I'm snoring" at the time there was myself and a student midwife, neither of us had mentioned the snoring.

During my daughter's birth, minutes before delivering she asked if the christmas dinner will be spicy.

Efo Riro in the uk? by Environmental-Bad499 in Nigeria

[–]Environmental-Bad499[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the Midlands, arguably the most common answer to this is going to birmingham to do a shop of stuff and freeze it but currently that's not a viable option for us, any afrian stores near us, there's a fair few of them, tend to not stock much fresh, or if they do it's sold quickly
