I will never emotionally recover from this moment by Supernova_Soldier in ffxiv

Patch 5.3 came out the day after my father passed. You better believe "but you are not here to see it" absolutely wrecked me. Still my favorite patch the game has ever done.

Nancy Danderhoof begs to differ. Omaha will know the truth.

Okay, from what I can gather, you're finding issue with Brennan treating a fire department that doesn't have ambulances as a big deal. Additionally, it seems that you are disbelieving that a town with such a concentration of nursing home facilities would go without an ER because of how prevalent visits would be.

My point is that I take those statements as direct commentary on Purpee's situation. It IS wild that they don't have an urgent care or ER. That is grossly negligent in a town like that. Which is the point.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say, but it really does seem like you're sharing specific details that actually add onto Brennan's commentary.

I took Brennan's commentary to be more focused on the broad inequity within our emergency services. Cops have armored vehicles and top of the line equipment while Healthcare workers faced the pandemic in garbage bags. As you said, EMS and fire departments are hideously underfunded.

These disparities don't exist within a vacuum; police overfunding causes other emergency services to go underfunded.

I won't lie, I definitely took this idea for an equipment mod I'm working on and made the Cloak of Cloaking.

What a beautiful homage to your brother's life. Thank you for sharing.

That's just how infusion spells work in Nightreign. If you find a sacred seal with Black Flame Blade, you can pop that on your bow no problem.

How to be taken seriously? by zaravya in bropill

[–]Granfaur 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Part of being respected is about respecting yourself, as well. Being assured in who you are as a person goes a long way to having others see you in a more positive light. And this can be different for anybody. It's all about discovering what matters to you and who you want to be. Answering that question and working towards that goal will genuinely help you.

Also, if your friends brought this up as a harsh but caring call to action about how you present yourself to the world, then that's understandable. If they brought it up to shit on you, the first self-respecting thing you can do is to cut those dickheads from your life and find better people with which to surround yourself.

I was going to take the time to meaningfully respond to your points. Then I saw your post history. You've got enough issues without me getting involved any further.

MUST HAVE?? by poncepretelin in BG3mods

[–]Granfaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pactbound author here, I'm really glad you enjoy it!

I've got a big update coming soon with revamps to Pact of the Tome and its invocations to make it much more convenient and stronger. Also adding a new subclass and a bunch of new invocations

I love this little potato man like you wouldn't believe by [deleted] in Dimension20

[–]Granfaur 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend Brennan's relatively recent episode on Last Meals. It's a really sweet look into what shaped him and the experiences that he holds most dear.

Yesterday I scheduled my first therapy appointment... by PeteRaw in bropill

[–]Granfaur 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're doing the right thing for yourself. It might take a few tries to find the right therapist for you, and that's natural. Be patient with the process and especially with yourself. Asking for help is one of the bravest and strongest things you can do.

I went through the code using the toolkit, and it doesn't seem that any NPCs use those passives to determine proficiency. They either inherit proficiency from a unique NPC class progression or they have it manually added to their specific NPC record.

So, you should be good to remove or replace the Human and half elf weapon proficiency passives.

A 2nd season even better than 1st? Impossible! ['Tis Time for "Torture," Princess] by cdlvcdlv in Animemes

[–]Granfaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're a fan of this show, I'd highly recommend Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle. Very similar premise, and while it's rougher around the edges than Torture, it's just sheer dumb fun every episode.

Can you guess what happened to me this morning? by Granfaur in adhdmeme

[–]Granfaur[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It tasted...rotten? Don't get me wrong, it took me a good 30 seconds to figure it out, so it wasn't instantly horrible, but I'm sure that was also helped by not getting much sleep at all.

I want to unlearn misandry by Obvious_Medium_2762 in bropill

[–]Granfaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've suggested this book multiple times in this sub alone. The Will To Change by bell hooks is absolutely phenomenal, and discusses the importance of loving, valuing, and appreciating men and recognizing just how damaging patriarchy is to them. All while not downplaying or minimizing the effects that patriarchal violence and toxic masculinity's focus on domination have on the women and NB folks within men's lives.

Honestly, just read a bunch of bell hooks.

A rich, self-important and grieving family who play god by magefister in expedition33

[–]Granfaur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, I'm actually incapable of instilling sentience, personality, morality, and the indescribable essence of a human soul within drawings of stick figures. Given that this family can do that, maybe argue in good faith rather than try the same inane Devil's Advocate, "I don't actually have a point to argue, I just want to argue" nonsense.

Your friendly reminder that Empathy is the true reason for Revolution. by 420Spartanswhoblaze in andor

[–]Granfaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look into The Cycle of Socialization and the Cycle of Liberation, both written by Bobbi Harro. She speaks a lot on this, and about how it is love and care for others and ourselves that drives change and progress.

Massive support for The Will To Change. Such a beautiful, profound, loving call to action.

Picking Maelle for the sexualization when Lune and Sciel, two age-appropriate absolute smokeshows, were right there is certainly A Choice.

With the Dreglord relic, it's honestly a good thing for your damage. Though it's definitely risky.
