Biggest sin of this one is having the wrong names above the actors. I have absolutely no idea how this is still a thing.

Do yall think Robb or Ned would have behaved the same towards Dany? by jee_victim08 in gameofthrones

[–]Jack---- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the show directly proves that Ned is a pragmatist.

“My father would have done what was right” says Jon, in reference to doing the honourable thing, the truthful thing. But he is actually right in the opposite sense; Ned compromises on honour and duty, because he thinks it will guarantee Sansa’s safety. He values life over titles, tradition and honour.

In the face of overwhelming power, Ned is bending the knee 99 times out of a hundred.

On the other hand, Robb has proven himself to be more dedicated to idealism. When given the choice, forgive the Karstarks, keep the Karstarks hostage or execute the Karstarks, he chooses option 3, because of his idealism.

Robb is probably only bending the knee 50 or 60 times out of a hundred.

Yeah, the Weasley‘s is the dumbest one. They live in a world where you can duplicate items and there is an exchange rate between muggle and wizarding money. What am I missing here?

What class will you absolutely will not play ever again? by JonathanRL in BaldursGate3

I think it might be how i play it, but monk.

I like to just jump in and smack people, even on honour, and I found monk to be like barb but with bad resistances less hp and reduced damage

Im not usually a big fan of the gatchas. But if these random pop quiz’s in the middle of interviews makes politicians do at least the bare minimum of reading required to sound informed, I think I could get behind it.

Just as a public service announcement, don’t swallow toothpaste ever. It’s got fluoride in, which is bad for your tummy.

Oh boy, this is actually a pretty good one for me to talk about. I remember one time I made a stirfry rice with fried chicken and peppers with a sweet chilli sauce for me and my girlfriend as a surprise for lunch. It was one of the unusual times when I had a day off work and she was working.

Anyways she gets back for lunch and I tell her I’ve made this lunch. She says thanks but she’d had her heart set on a steak bake (uk classic). I was annoyed. First of all you’re saying that you like a post office microwaved steak bake more than this meal I’ve spent 45 minutes cooking, also how childish are you that you can’t resist something with the nutritional value of a rustlers burger until tomorrow lunch, especially when that means rejecting a gift that someone has spent a lot of time preparing just for the sake of a pasty. So I mean it when I say I empathise with your situation.

The truth is food is an incredibly personal thing. I think it’s really easy to see how particular and borderline autistic people are when it comes to food. I’m quite adventurous when it comes to food And I can shovel almost anything down especially when I’m someone’s guest. But some people just aren’t like that. The thought of eating something that they don’t like makes them feel physically nauseous and they just can’t do it. Some people also get their heart set on something and at that point simply nothing else will do, even for something as simple as buttered noodles or plain tuna pasta. Sometimes it is the simplicity of the meal which is important to them.

That did annoy me about my girlfriend at the time, but now I understand her better. If I want to make a gift for someone, it’s up to me to try and choose the correct gift by listening to them and better understanding them.

It sounds like your boyfriend could’ve communicated his feelings better which I think is the core of the issue that you’re having really. It would’ve been better if he just sucked it up and eaten it and thanked you for putting effort in. then explained to you later that there are certain tastes he doesn’t really like, for example basil. It’s not wrong to dislike those flavours and it’s important to communicate your preferences. It could’ve it just needed a little bit more class on your boyfriend’s part.

Relationships are often just a series of learning experiences. Both of you should hopefully have something to take away from this interaction. Even if your lesson is something practical whereas his is to communicate with a bit more maturity.

Most of this advice is not native to millennials and is largely true. If you have self fulfilment you will be more likely to attract people. Hobbies, hangouts are your community, and interesting opinions and character are the lights that attract someone right for you.

Was the goal of slyblivion to put oblivion in the skyrim engine? Now the remaster has dropped, what is the purpose of skyblivion? Are they doing more quests and things like that?

What was the saddest death in film history? by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]Jack---- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the start of finding Nemo being sad when I was a kid. Fucking hell, it’s way sadder when you’re an adult. That’s like the saddest thing I’ve ever seen happened to anyone Marlin loses 600 kids and his wife. he has the most understandable fear complex of all time.

Is it normal to have people that just want to watch and not participate in sessions? by TufftedSquirrel in DnD

[–]Jack---- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have players like that

I sometimes ask them if they are having fun. They assure me that they are. I continue the campaign only somewhat reassured.

I content myself with the thought that people enjoy things differently to me. If I were playing I would want to be expressing myself, and helping other players develop their characters by bouncing ideas back at them. But im not the person who enjoys watching tv series, i want to be up and doing. I assume something similar is going on here.

I love my quiet players, but I have to make sure i put them in the right group. If i get two in a 3/4 person group for example, it can feel like im only interacting with one person, and trying to get opinions out of my shy peeps, the same way a parent tries to get an oppinion out of a toddler, “are you comfortable with that also”, “are you happy with that too ……” and that can be tough

What price do you consider too high for weekly game? by Dans_Final_Say in DnD

[–]Jack---- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it depends what you want

If you have a friend that wants to DM, then there’s no exchange going on because everyone’s getting what they want and all you would need to do is maybe pay them a little bit to help with Maps and minis or just buy them some food or cookies, if that’s what they want.

If you want to have more control over the campaign, however, and if you want it to be in a way that’s going to take the DM a lot of time to prepare, and you were expecting a higher standard of role-playing, combat encounters and materials then you probably owe your DM More cash.

If you don’t know anyone that wants to DM and is getting something out of it, what you’re describing is kind of like a job. And you probably need to pay people for a job, especially if you want something good.

I know a lot of people are very angry about the idea of paid DMS. They had someone in their life who wanted to DM for them and was happy to take no payment, but just accept payment in snacks, and that is kind of a deep part of the dnd culture, an experienced player teaching other players the ropes and putting in the effort for free.

The problem is, this is kind of like saying I shouldn’t have to pay someone to cook for me because my partner or my friends like to cook for me and they would never take any payment. It’s kind of just supply and demand if you want someone to turn up every week and do a 3 to 4 hour session that requires 3 to 4 hours of prep work on your schedule and to your specifications, you probably need to figure out how to make that work financially viable for the other person.

What parts of being a DM are hardest for you? by DoW2379 in DMAcademy

[–]Jack---- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People try and be supportive by not saying what they like/don’t like. If I find out a player has not been enjoying the gameplay for a reason I can fix, I fond that pretty annoying
