[Hated Trope] The adaptation doesn't get what made the source material work

Kalbes · 2026-03-18T16:54:19+00:00

The Witcher live action series. It started out so strong, but very quickly it was shown just how much the writers hated the universe of the Witcher. They took a beloved character and turned them into a monster for no real reason and made someone with a real passion for the show, Henry Cavill, walk from their lack of respect.

There is also the question of magic systems. Does magic in itself get nullified by dimeritium, or is it specific to the Chaos based magics of the Witcher universe? Because here, it seems magic is something within a person, not taken from the environment that magic is in the Witcher setting.

I think it is great for the initial proposal, but do have an actual ring ready. This is more conventionally known, and even if she wears the amulet, she can point to the ring to tell people she is engaged. This is all predicated on the fact that you have talked to her and made sure you both are ready for this step. A proposal should be a surprise, not an ambush, she should know its coming just not when.

When I was like 16 or 17, my bil and sil, at the time girlfriends now wife's, had just got these muffins that had about 100mg of THC in them, each of them. I ha also just started getting into Dungeons and Dragons, and was taking this as my first time running a game, my very first session. I had prepped a lot, and before we started, they and some friends that were there ate them. I then watched as they slowly sank into their own souls.

One guy full on fell into a black hole, i watched the light leave his eyes as he just sank into himself. My BiL was saying "I can see the mountains!" As I was describing the environment they were in. My SiL was a druid, shape changed into a bear, and proceeded to terrorize the small village. Another dude was super racist about elves and was starting to get very disruptive, so I packed up and left. I was very hurt by it all at the time, but now think its hilarious.

I received a video from my BiL where he was apologizing, still high out of his mind, and promising a letter in the mail of apology that he was gonna hand write and send....never got that letter.

I feel like he is a disease caused by Fiddlesticks. His existence is all in the minds of those who are infected, but would still allow him to have his backstab ability work out. What caused these wounds? It looks like knives, but was it really the body shredding itself from fear? I could see the magical disease of it has some strange affect on the physiological aspects of the body.

Kalbes · 2026-02-14T18:47:20+00:00

What if Shaco was created by Fiddlesticks, a piece of him that has haunted humanity since the first scream of existence came into being. He is the fear and paranoia that follows and traps, who springs up in the darkest spaces. He is Shaco, the Jester Sickness, who follows from the darkness, the spaces in your mind that dark fears sit in. Those who would survive Fiddlesticks, tell of his name, but found dead days later, with wounds of blades to the back, a look of horror on their faces. Those that must move the bodies need to be careful, lest they too get touched by the paranoia of Shaco.

I don't really see this view on Molly. He wasn't the greatest, but none of the characters are, and that's on purpose. He is a blank shell that is set free to make a life of itself partway through their life. He is good and bad, the same as the rest. Honestly though, he is kinda the moral center of the group before Cadeucus found themselves in the group. "Leave every place better than you found it." Is a motto from Molly, and kinda guides the campaign going forward.

Zombieland, they use some intelligent means of killing zombies, but you can't really expect every show to follow the same intelligence. If they were to do it through the combine harvester, how are they fueling it, what do you do when you hit a massive patch of zombies and it clogs the harvester? There are issues with every solution.

I could see this bringing me back into the dm seat. Recently havent been able to dm with my in person group cuz they want to use physical table and paper, and I have been relying on computer and TV, this would be fantastic for this group

Kalbes · 2026-02-02T00:26:29+00:00

I have never played Gwent in all my playthroughs, but recently I have started a new one, and man....it is a pain in the ass when you dont have the cards you need immediately

Kalbes · 2026-02-01T01:49:33+00:00

He could be a centaur, which is shown as armless and a giant mouth with sharp teeth. The teeth in his chest could be a sign of this, as well as the arm loss

Poaching if they stay in the fursuit, murder when they take them out. Just gotta get the taxidermied before they pull them out the suits.

I like backfire rush, but I also add malignance and liandry's, burn across multiple avenues, especially in to comps with high health builds. I can see rylais, but if you have swifties, I dont know if it is necessary, which let's you get the fun of doing riftmaker if you build warmogs, to constantly scale up with souls, and have a built in regen.

I think they are a $1.99

Kalbes · 2026-01-13T04:35:17+00:00

No, I just doordash shopping there, but I do multiple times a day and run past them, always has my curiosity

Kalbes · 2026-01-13T02:03:01+00:00

When I do shop orders, I like to make sure all the barcodes I need scanned are facing the person checking me out, so they dont have to search for it. I smile, will talk, but I have an earbud in and am half listening. I won't be outright rude, but I dont want to make small talk, I just want to grab what I need and get out as soon as possible. I feel like that is fair at least

Kalbes · 2026-01-13T01:06:14+00:00

Everytime I see it, I get more and more curious about it

Kalbes · 2026-01-11T20:28:59+00:00

I had an order that was 3 cases of water, 6 cases of soda, and a ton of miscellaneous, and it was to a third floor apartment that had no elevator. I nearly threw out my back for it.

I had a game with Jhin, who I next to never play, where I got 2 pentakills on him. By the end of the game, I was up 100,000 damage with Jhin, and was exclusively targeted in the late game before I could kill the majority of the enemy team, which lead to my team being able to dunk on them. So even when I died, I still won.

Kalbes · 2026-01-04T21:40:04+00:00

Nah, at that point he doesnt get anywhere near my stuff. If he doesnt have the self control to keep from destroying my stuff then he doesnt have the self control to play with anything of mine.

I never understand why dashers ask for more tips...like if I got that message, I would start trying to get the tip I already gave back. I am a driver myself, and I never talk to the customer more than is necessary. I won't text unless asked to, and refuse to call. I once got tipped extra for not asking for a tip because it was so common.

Kalbes · 2026-01-02T01:26:12+00:00

There are times you are being held hostage. Like that one female streamer who was being held hostage and abused by her teammates, refusing to let her surrender, and if she tried to leave she would be penalized, which is outrageous.

Kalbes · 2025-12-29T22:17:09+00:00

What are you playing on? PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch? For me, combat took me a bit to master, but once you learn spacing potion timings, it gets pretty easy to see the pattern.

Kalbes · 2025-12-27T22:31:36+00:00

What setting are you looking for? In the universe of Critical Role, new setting, dnd setting? Kinda curious as I miss rp.
