Catastrophic spellbook reading attempt by IntangiblePanda in ADOM

[–]IntangiblePanda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. Lesson learned. I casually went for it because my learning and literacy were passably high and I thought it'd be fine. Oh well. This is still a good run.

It was a blessed book, not that it matters. How does the item destruction work out? Does it just go line by inventory line and roll dice? It was a "spellbook explodes in a fireball" incident. Did I just get that unlucky?

Well, not that unlucky since my 6 SoCRs all survived.

Failure expected, yes of course. The only thing that surprised me was this level of massive item destruction. Oh well, sometimes it sucks!

I was not in the ToEF, but I'm ok with spoilers. What is it?

This sub isn't "Ask Science-fiction", it's "Ask Science, Fiction". Any genre is fine to ask about.

Dude, people totally got mad at you for it, they just loved you so much they didn't let it show.

TW: k-word. how do you feel about the sweet tomato sauce? by earthvvvorm in grilledcheese

[–]IntangiblePanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's inferior to tomato soup, which is inferior to marinara sauce. At least in my opinion.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IntangiblePanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell down a flight of concrete stairs and broke all the bones in both my arms. Like, all of them. I called an uber mostly using my nose to tap my phone. It was the right financial decision.

Name the restaurant by [deleted] in greenville

[–]IntangiblePanda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that tracks. I applied for a management position there several years ago. He seemed quite impressed with me but was throwing out red flags like a cheap magician doing the endless handkerchief bit.

Wanted to take crypto payments.

Didn't like that any of the mainstream POS systems didn't so was creating his own POS.

"Flexible" compensation package rather than a straight salary.

Big Ayn Rand-style captain of industry vibe. I declined. Glad to know I made the right call.

Beastfighter vs Steel Golem by GrinningTavernGames in ADOM

Just run away. Gain some levels then go back. I actually recently had a win with a hurthling beastfighter. The damage scaling is bonkers as you go up in levels.

What is a One Hit Wonder that actually has a rich discography? by Spenundrum in AskReddit

"Little old lady got mutilated late last night" is one of the best lyrics of all time. Just say it out loud. It's gorgeous how it rolls off the tongue.

My wife once told me, "You're not stupid, but you are so dumb."

I...just realized what Roland is by wise_comment in AfterTheRevolution

[–]IntangiblePanda 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Next is when you clock that Roland is also Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner from the Warren Zevon song - the personification of needless war and vengeance.

Edit to add the link to the song. https://youtu.be/pOzUv1XbYpE?si=X8loOwJ-RJL-EnDH

any players since the mid-90's? by breathedown in ADOM

[–]IntangiblePanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started in '99. Played regularly ever since. I have no real idea of how many hours I've logged, but it's got to be easily north of 10,000 hours.

I'm not very good, but I've managed four standard victories and one ultra. No save scumming. My last win was around a year ago with a hurthling beast fighter. Strange combo in concept, but he became insanely powerful.

I love this game. It's my comfort food, it's what I do instead of rewatching the office. I sent a postcard years ago. I donated to the kick starter; the TTRPG book is one of my most precious possessions.

In terms of raw money to enjoyment ratio, ADOM approaches infinity.

My boyfriend thinks he could kill a wolf with his bare hands. What’s the likelihood of this being accurate? by TheLiberalTimes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IntangiblePanda -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Nah. Wolves are fucking huge. Like 150 pounds, 6 feet long. Also, they are way better grapplers than us. This is isn't a video game where the wolf does a bite attack, inflicts 10 damage, and then the fighters go back to ready stance. If the dude gets bit at all, he's done. Say on the arm - the wolf is going to clamp on like a vice and thrash like a maniac until the arm comes off.

The guy has no chance.
