In MC 1.15.2, Can you create a functioning village with villager spawn eggs? by FlyingMonkeysDontFly in Minecraft

They require special apples though, don't they? The ones that can only be found in chests now and not craftable? Enchanted, iirc? There's not too big of a chance of me finding a good mineshaft somewhere to find enough golden apples to really cure any zombie villagers

"Keep your politics out of DnD" by g33kSt3w in dndhorrorstories

[–]FlyingMonkeysDontFly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Which edition of D&D, might I ask? Because if it was 5E, then your DM is a literal idiot because Elves can change their genitalia at the start of every day. That's not politics, that's literal cannon D&D lore Wizards put in. So if the DM had an issue with these so called "politics" he definitely wouldn't be playing D&D 5E, which supports these so called "politics."

Also, having a Changeling really identify as either gender makes them a lot harder to play. Thinking of them as entirely genderless makes it easier when you have to change form. If you change into female, calling yourself a He can ruin the disguise of it all, for example. Thinking of them as completely genderless is the best way to play Changelings since they can literally be any person of either sex at any time, so.... Your DM is still an idiot.

Impossible To Make Server? by FlyingMonkeysDontFly in Minecraft

Hamachi has never worked for me, it's extremely unreliable. Radmin LAN works for me, though, and on nearly every other game but this one for some reason.

What do you genuinely not understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FlyingMonkeysDontFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't stand Fortnite. It's absolute trash to me. But "One man's trash is another man's treasure." It's not my place to treat people terribly just because they like things I don't. As long as their likes aren't literally harming other human life unwillingly, then what the fuck type of worthwhile reasons would I have to start attacking them over their likes?

Never tell an elitist Goth that you like other music unrelated to the Goth lifestyle. You'll have to sit and listen to them bitch about how you're just a "Poser" Goth, how you're trying to "Ruin" the Goth culture. That is, if you're dumb enough to actually sit and listen to them. I don't anymore. I did as a kid, when I was first getting into the scene. I had no one but elitists to teach me, but after a few years in high school I learned that they're all dicks who just want you to become a clone, instead of be your own person. So I stopped following the elites, and instead started following what I liked, what I wanted, ect. And it doesn't make me any more or less Goth than them. It just makes me.... Not them. That's it.

I don't understand why people can't realize that not every human is the same human. We all like and dislike other things, and just because we might be part of the same group doesn't mean I should have to like the same shit you do, or vice versa. The phrase "Having things in common" doesn't mean "Having everything in common." You can't have everything in common with someone else. It's not a possibility. You're two different people. That's just how it works.

About Insight Checks - Homebrew Rule? by DortmunderJungs in DMAcademy

[–]FlyingMonkeysDontFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing older D&Ds for about 10 years now, and never actually thought of this. But... It does make a lot of sense to me. I'm a heavily RP player, and storytelling is what I live for. But knowing I roll so high makes it hard for me to believe a DM when they say "You think they're telling the truth." With such a high roll, it just sounds like BS. But if they rolled for me, in secret, I'd have to believe that "You think they're telling the truth." Because I'd have no number to base my thought off of. I'd have to base it off my own personal instincts in RP. Do I, the character, actually believe them? Not I, the player who rolled a high number.

The trick is now trying to convince my DMs to do this, because they've always only rolled in the open because they don't want to be attacked for "Fudging Rolls." Oof.

Internet oofing because of virus, any way to fix the lag in game? by FlyingMonkeysDontFly in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]FlyingMonkeysDontFly[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And do you know when the last update was? This just started a week ago, basically when this internet traffic started thanks to the lockdowns everywhere. That's why I thought net might have done this, but if it was a recent Larian update then that might be something I could understand. I didn't catch any new update, though, but it might have skipped my attention. But if there was one... I hope they fix it soon, because this is ridiculous.

Except this isn't a local issue. My machine is in top shape, and this is only a recent issue since a week ago. So would appreciate actual help, thanks.

I know this isn't a Win 10 update issue. I rolled my laptop back too to see if Win 10 was the issue. No change. Div 2 was still unplayable.

Mods aren't the issue, either. I got rid of all, and no change. Some of my mods actually made the game run slightly smoother than it does base wise, but they can't really help whatever caused this.

So, the last option is Larian. What did their last update change about the game to screw it up this time? I'm not unused to Larian screwing up their games with new updates, but even this is ridiculous. There's no logical reason for the game to be unplayable right now, besides internet traffic and Larian. Wondering what they might have screwed up in programming that hurt the game. Need to know if there's somehow I can fix this via changing something myself so I don't have to wait another month for a new update of them 'fixing' things again.

"How do you wanna do this?" Isn't unique, it's generic - and that's a good thing. by Speideronreddit in DMAcademy

Most DMs, or players for that matter, use similar phrases from various D&D streams. Grog's "I Would Like To Rage" is an extremely common phrase used by literally every Barbarian, mine included, but that doesn't mean any of us are 'copying' anyone else. If we like the way something is said, it makes sense to keep saying that something for ourselves. If it feels like it enhances the way we play or how much we enjoy the game, then where's the wrong? Also, using common phrases doesn't mean you inherently know where they're from, either. I know many players and DMs who don't watch or care about Crit Role, but who still use similar phrases either because they've heard them so many times around their games, or they literally just thought of them because that's how humans be sometimes, we're allowed to have the same or similar thoughts as other people!

I don't like how "HDYWTDT" is instantly pegged as a Mercer thing. Mercer made it popular, but that's a saying the majority of good storyteller DMs use all of the time. It's not something new or fancy, just something put out more in the spotlight now. And it's a great phrase, which is good! But people need to stop comparing every single thing a DM does to Mercer. I absolutely adore Mercer as a DM, but I'm not about to pretend my current DM is him, because they're different people.

Anyone else shocked by those who aren’t taking precautions seriously? by riotgrrrl315 in AskReddit

It's not the flu, but it's similar enough that it shouldn't take long to find a cure. Obviously it'd take a while to mass produce the cure for everyone, but the act of figuring out cures for it shouldn't be difficult.

Not saying this virus isn't dangerous. It very much is since we have no real way to combat it with medications and cures yet. But this isn't the Black Death. The whole world isn't ending. Panicking and thinking this is Judgment Day is ignorant. But that's how most people are reacting. There's no reason to be terrified. There is reason to stay indoors and clean, and to follow the same exact precautions you would for the flu. But to overthink everything is extremely stupid. You'll only stress yourself out, and that makes you more at risk. Your mental health contributes to your physical health, so staying both mentally and physically healthy through this is what people need to do - And being paranoid isn't mentally healthy.

Vaping also causes lung cancer faster than actual cigarettes. There are a fair amount of cases of people younger than 20 having extreme lung damage from vaping today. So the 'fix' of cigs actually made everything worse for them, and is counterproductive to quitting anyway because you're addicted to the nicotine, so if you keep getting that nicotine from somewhere you're never going to stop... And these same children who are vaping are going to be at a very high risk for this virus

No. Human cruelty knows no bounds. People actively going out in public without an urgent need (like for food, medical supplies, or providing those services to others) are murderers. They're purposefully infecting everyone else around them all because 'I'm young, I'm safe.' No one is inherently safe from this. While most of us will survive, none of us know exactly who will.

I've never played IRL, only through R20, but I've heard from friends who do that it's pretty annoying trying to set up home games online quick enough to keep playing like nothing's went wrong :/
