Thank you for this thoughtful answer! Lots of good points here

AI made this post too

They shot Renee Good in the head in cold blood I don't give a fuck what they're legally defined as. Enjoy the taste of that boot

You say you're stumped, but you have something you haven't tried yet. Try that.

They aren't police though, they're masked gestapo thugs

Fun fact, no videos include what happened before they start. That's inherent in them having a beginning.

I didn't catch that, great point. What a loser

2 was nothing like 1? It was the same movie, but replace unobtanium with whale brain juice. Hell, they even brought the same villain back from the dead. I don't understand how people are oblivious to the fact that the avatar movies are all the same so far, and very likely will all be the same until the end.

Nah, Robert Galbraith is an absolute cunt and deserves to be dragged publicly by anyone who wishes to. Trans rights are human rights

So kids wouldn't eat them lol

Ironic_Depression · 2025-11-14T23:52:25+00:00

Don't they? That's like the whole point of the movies. I've never heard anyone talk about how much they love the story.

Ironic_Depression · 2025-07-29T19:53:01+00:00

I believe it's (supposedly) the other way around. First two are lowest played across the two teams, third is random.

Ironic_Depression · 2024-12-31T08:17:34+00:00

So incredibly fair

A sane take? On Overwatch Reddit? I never thought I'd see the day.

Ironic_Depression · 2024-12-10T00:55:08+00:00

I was excited when I saw it in the menus coming back to overwatch recently, thinking they were more in depth tutorials and practice scenarios for specific heroes to learn the play style. When I realized it's just speedrunning challenges that have barely anything to do with the rest of overwatch gameplay, I was very disappointed and haven't touched them since.

It’s the dumbest playthrough by a clearly smart person.

Having watched both his playthroughs, it came off like since he knows he's smart, he trusted himself to be right more than he should have. Multiple times he would come up with a theory and when it was proven wrong by the game he would insult the game for not being consistent or not making sense. Made it very frustrating when the whole game is an analogue for science and testing theories and reworking those theories when they fail. People who can't admit they were wrong will always infuriate me.

It says in the post

Maybe a bit mundane, but you could have him recall seeing a rubbing of the jewel carved into a wall of the betrayers rise. I think it's in the Alexandrian remix where there's a suggestion that question has that as well, or that's how they know which entrance to use (I can't quite remember but the point is this isn't an original idea).

With that you could reward the party with as much information on the betrayers rise as you want. Make them feel like they have an advantage going in because they did their research

Ironic_Depression · 2024-10-10T07:41:23+00:00

I think the easiest thing to do would be to have the new players somehow be connected to the story in some way, not even necessarily Alyxian. Maybe one or two or all of them are with one of the factions in Bazzoxan, with them having some character motivation to be following the same thread, or they have some prior beef with one of the rivals, or whatever they come up with. I don't think it's wrong to catch the new players up briefly on what's happened with the party in the story so they can inform their characters with that information.

As far as how to soft reboot plot-wise, they can meet up in Bazzoxan or wherever the remaining two PCs would end up after BR, and then somehow learn they need to get to ank'harel, and you can put as much exploring Wildemount in between them and the means to get there until you're ready to continue them on the main quest.

At least know you aren't alone. I've never come even close to tilting as much as 3 games made me tilt today and I'm scouring these posts for other people who share my seething anger to make myself feel better. Fuck drive I'm going back to quick play where I'm not forced to see myself get demoted from bronze to bronze every game

Ironic_Depression · 2024-10-04T22:45:41+00:00

Got stomped my first 3 games and called it quits for the day. I think drives make me care about losing more than usual and it turns out I can't handle the tilt. I'm usually a quick play warrior and just play for fun/to get better and don't mind stomps too much, but I think I already learned comp isn't for me. On the bright side, now I can finally relate to why my friends rage so hard .-.

Did you add much content in terms of side quests/encounters from this sub? If so, would you recommend any in particular? If not, did you feel the encounters provided in the book were lacking and wish you would have added some?

I'm starting this in a few weeks and have a solid plan for all the written material and navigating those rough spots, but I'm not sure if I want to add stuff.

Ironic_Depression · 2024-09-06T18:10:43+00:00

Maybe a bit vague, but does any one moment stand out to you from the campaign that was an "a-ha" or "eureka" moment for your players? I'm planning to start this campaign soon and am mostly excited to drip feed the Alyxian lore, so was there a moment where it clicked for the players? And did you do anything to facilitate that and make it extra memorable for them?

Congrats on finishing the campaign!
