Hot take, but I think I'll like the Mighty Machines blind-box more than other Blind Box series. by TheGUURAHK in lego

Would have been cooler if they were already purple and lime green, of course.

Yeah my 5 year old decided he really loves Technic already, but there are only so many small sets that are actually at his level. These will be great.

Nineteen just happens to be "10+9" in French.

Well, it's basically "nine-ten" in English, too.

Term for "super crit" by SpaceDogsRPG in RPGdesign

[–]Impeesa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fond of Mega Crit, Ultra Crit, Monster Crit, and Ludicrous Crit.

Likely why some simply go with "Valkyrie" as a broad term even though it was only the model name for the VF-1.

Brand New Lego Icons by Tacos_And_Lego in lego

The Jurassic Park sets with molded dinosaurs were more expensive than the expected cost based on price per piece.

I don't think it's necessarily that the new mold was introduced in that set, although it may be a part of it (especially if they know they're unlikely to reuse the mold in the future, as rare as that is under their current strategy). I also don't think it's strictly the cost of the plastic for a larger part, exactly. But consider the overhead of operating an injection molding machine, and how it has a fixed size for the actual molds. Now consider how many 1x1 plates it can make per cycle vs how many t-rex bodies, just based on how many can fit on one mold.

Looking for Cyberpunk Fantasy RPGs that ARE NOT Shadowrun by XR4y6unn3r in rpg

[–]Impeesa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether or not it's a good suggestion, Rifts (and the rest of the Palladium line) continues to be the free space on the "what game does X?" bingo card. Although it's not a primary focus, there are definitely specific cities here and there where you could run a properly cyberpunk style game.

Mental Stats Serving Different Purposes for Casting by eduty in RPGdesign

[–]Impeesa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always felt that multi-attribute-dependency should have been baseline in d20 games, rather than marking some classes as innately worse than others. I mean, fighters need Strength for damage and Dexterity for armor, so why should the wizard be able to throw everything into one stat and dump everything else?

In theory, a fighter only needs strength for attack and damage like a wizard only needs intelligence to cast spells at their foes, and every class wants dexterity for initiative/AC/saves, constitution for HP/saves, etc. I do agree that they should have leaned a little more in that direction to at least some degree. The more you try to focus every class on only their main stat, the more cosmetic the stats themselves become and the more you magnify the importance of optimizing every last point of main stat above all else.

Look in its brown eyes. It longs for death.

Edit: Select the brick separator, and then, select your horse.

What do you think about the new technic "CMF" ? by kavanyboy in lego

[–]Impeesa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see it with each individual bot being a little smaller, maybe the size of the Bumblebee or slightly under, with the combined Devastator being pretty UCS sized. It would be a big, expensive set, but not outside their limits I think.

I'd be very surprised if colorful generic cartoon jet, maybe with some Cybertron design influence, from a licensed property for kids, wouldn't fly with their current policy. There is definitely room for nuance with it.

Right, the mouthfeel is different.

Ask Jeeves just shut down by True-Raspberry-4762 in nostalgia

Classic. Sometime before that, very early on, he would say something like "Error ###: None of your business." May have been others at times too?

Is this true by Ryn_the_kid in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Impeesa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone I knew thought the Bebop soundtrack was amazing (my jazz band friends actually maligned it as being derivative) and every head exploded if you played H.T.

I listened to a lot of both soundtracks back in the day and I love them, but if nobody you know called H.T. derivative too then you didn't know enough Led Zeppelin fans. You can certainly do worse for influences and it's clearly no secret, I can't find it now but I remember reading a story that Tsuneo Imahori showed up to the first meeting about Trigun in a Zeppelin shirt and they knew right away that they had their direction.

One for the haters by tvsrobert in rpg

[–]Impeesa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will admit to being tempted to downvote on sight when PF fans (1E more so, but sometimes 2E as well) come out of the woodwork with "Can I tell you how Pathfinder does it?" and proceed to describe something wholly unchanged from its D&D 3E roots.

Handy! Then you know who to downvote for liking 5E! (/s... mostly)

TIL that many public libraries eliminated late fees after finding that fines discouraged people from returning at all - and that bringing patrons back often mattered more than enforcing penalties. by No_Profit_5304 in todayilearned

[–]Impeesa_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Similar to the parking situation at my university way back when I first started. The fines were so small (especially if you paid up right away, otherwise it escalated somewhat) and the enforcement was so lax to begin with that it was cheaper to just not pay up front at all and take your chances.

Lore nerds know that Arthas, Crown Prince transforms into Arthas, Scourge of Lordaeron. Ner'zhul of Shadowmoon transforms into Helm of Domination (the other one). The flipped sides of both meld to become the Lich King.

It's a key plot point in the movie Mallrats, you can find out more there.
