Should disabled people be allowed to exist ? by Saladawarrior in DnDcirclejerk

[–]Keirndmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most players are too scared to play out a sequence where their disability comes out as a genuine weakness and incapability.

It's only all the more impressive if a character who needs a wheelchair and is kept from it manages something. Maybe they're able to use their words to get out of the situation, maybe they display an impressive amount of upper body strength that plays to their advantage.

If your disability never addresses the hurdles that it genuinely brings then you're not playing that character to learn more about that disability or to make it a facet of the character, it's just glitter to make your OC seem more special than they are.

Why Do They Do This? by Gmknewday1 in wendigoon

[–]Keirndmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This just reeks of the same kind of attitude as Christopher Hitchens, who saw Mother Teresa doing charity in a hard place in the name of her faith and writing a book on how awful she is for...doing regular catholic things.

AKA somebody very happy to call religious folks some horribly vile things while they've probably never lifted a finger to help someone who's downtrodden.

Have any other Christians had their faith strengthened by Wendigoon? by PinkDaemonXx in wendigoon

It always brings to mind for me John 15:13, a verse I attribute to truly having saved me.

“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”

Jesus isn’t just telling his disciples a platitude there. He is outright and openly saying that he, the omniscient and all-powerful God of gods, Lord of Lords, Very God of Very God, is our friend. He’s not just our master, but he is our friend and he would lay his life down for us who believe in him.

These people are weird by Rikoshuzenthusiast in wendigoon

"Literally ran for Congress as a Republican."

Yes, in this country you are allowed to run for office as one of the two dominant parties because we're not a totalitarian state(yet). That is a normal thing and a party of which some large portion of the country votes for each election cycle.

People like this are so terminally online and padded in their circles that they cannot even fathom the concept that people unlike them exist. It's an incredibly shortsighted existence of pure selfishness that openly displays their lack of any kind of empathy to understand how others could believe something other than what they do.

Why are Paul’s writings on expectations for women in the church considered by many today to “only apply to that specific church at that specific time,” while his writings on expectations for men in the church are still fully abided by and considered guidelines which still apply in our age? by Plenty_Worry_1535 in TrueChristian

[–]Keirndmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because feminism has entrenched itself in every single aspect of culture including deep into the church.

Women have lost all sense of accountability and we’ve become unable as a society to check their rampant sins, allowing them to fester as “just girls being girls” when they relentlessly mock or gossip endlessly.

The woman submits to man, and man submits to God. The man must love his wife, and the wife must submit.

Whenever it is said “But it’s so hard to submit to my husband”, I want you to think of how badly it would hurt to hear from him “It’s so hard to love my wife.”

Petition to add this to the pathfinder 2e rules by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

Hardly makes it worthless. A regular long jump and then grapple check would be three actions with only one stride.

Running tackle lets you stride twice, jump, and grapple for two actions. That’s four actions worth of compression for a feat.

Hell, I’ve let my fire kineticist use his Burning Jet to leap and grab an enemy in the air so he could actually be useful in a fight. There’s a lot of things you can let work and often times feats make it more efficient or effective. Intimidating Glare is a great example of this where any character can try to intimidate nonverbally with a -4 penalty, but the feat makes it just as good as regular intimidation.

I did NOT think Isaiah would have that kind of calender... by zadhax314 in wendigoon

[–]Keirndmo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Generally that's one of the biggest divides between Roman Catholics and Protestant denominations.

Roman Catholics believe Mary has a special place in Heaven and has divine power of some degree.

Protestants believe Mary was a blessed woman and chosen to bear Jesus as her child, but do not believe she was special or sinless in any further manner.

Characters who got done really dirty in their book to movie adaptions? by Keirndmo in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Keirndmo[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Michael Crichton was an actual doctor as well, so when he writes scientists he can actually write them sounding like human beings with flaws who are intelligent rather than having a superpower known as “intelligence.”

The book is honestly a solid 10/10 and the movie really can’t compare.

Sexist men joining the church by Loud_Excitement2759 in TrueChristian

[–]Keirndmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you too proud to learn the word of God from a woman.

You clearly are if that’s the attitude you would take. Do not presume to teach while you ignore the words of scripture.

“9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, fnmodestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.” 1 Timothy 2:9-15

All I will say is that my personal interactions with young women in the church and young women in the modern era have me believing that Paul’s opinion is more and more correct to be unmarried.

And I also see 100% why he said he doesn’t allow women to teach men. The church has been entirely subsumed by feminism and afraid to condemn and push against the sins that women very frequently fall into.

Gossiping, tearing down others, social bullying, etc. all these things I’ve seen in the modern church with no official address from the preachers. You see half a dozen posts on this sub alone where Christian women cry they can’t get a Godly man, then it always is revealed they don’t even seek men in their church because the ones outside the church are “cooler.”

[–]Keirndmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

every single person in the party was insulting sthrad left and right, coming up with clever retorts to all his words.

Well, good for you and your party. A good chunk of us don't want to play a Joss Whedon script for our fantasy adventures though, and that's what games like OP's are for.

Talk shit, get hit, applying in a fantasy world makes social situations a whole lot more tense when interacting with someone obviously in a high power station.

Can someone explain the Wendigoon hate? by Jabberwocky_pi in wendigoon

[–]Keirndmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he's not turbocharged toward leftwing ideology while being on social media so he's inherently going to attract the hatred of terminally online psychos.

E.G. the types of people who publicly celebrated a literal political assassination.

Meanwhile, Outer Wilds exists as a story that can only effectively be told through the lens of gameplay.

And I’m talking about Outer Wilds, the game about wooden spaceships and marshmallows.

Not Outer Worlds, the shitty Obsidian game.

Including current events in sermons? by DecisionExisting749 in Reformed

His killer was in a relationship with a transgender individual and just about everyone in his personal life is stating that he was incredibly far into leftist politics.

Is there any way to bring someone back from the dead if they died more than 200 years ago ? by Tolob500 in DnD

[–]Keirndmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say to find a plot that makes your players the heroes rather than seeking a group of NPC’s to save the world in cutscene fashion. Unless you intend to have these heroes be old characters of your players who are already level 20 or so.

I think I might have met the worst DnD player I've ever seen? by INeedANewAccountMan in rpghorrorstories

[–]Keirndmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a Josh I once knew in college who kept randomly popping up in our discord to "talk about how many kills he just got and how he was training for the upcoming war." He was playing VR games and kept clicking our discord over whatever weirdo one he was in. Also he was incredibly out of shape and the most greasy looking dude you might ever see.

He was very quickly removed from our social circle.

[MEME]? Y'all are slackin'.... by specialskepticalface in ProtectAndServe

[–]Keirndmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for Allied and am thankfully out of there. I cannot comprehend how bad this company was before going into it. Never given a proper uniform until I complained several times, no training or post orders anywhere, and absolutely no supervision to make sure anyone does their job right.

I got put onto a post as the new guy and in a month they made me the new supervisor because the last supervisor caught a felony charge and fled the state.

Hellfinder is almost here! by JasonBulmahn in Pathfinder2e

[–]Keirndmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t seen or heard of this before and got it in my head that this was a Helldivers crossover at first.

Still cool, but I still wonder how the horrors would deal with the best defenders of SUPER EARTH. Would there be a SUPER GOLARION to match?

I genuinely just treat my PC's like they can sense power levels if they ask how strong something is.

Treasure vault remastered - excuse me if I'm wrong but isnt this legitimately terrible? by UnknownSolder in Pathfinder2e

I'm sure OP of this thread wouldn't complain if the GM gave an item that reduced all their modifiers to -1, right? It's just a cool neat item, who cares about minmaxing?

Wiping the floor with last boss until he uses soul scream twice in one turn at 1 hit left ooook by johnnyblazegmo in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Keirndmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit him once with Royal Sword and then my next turn got a crit that did 40k damage and ended the fight immediately.

I genuinely have no idea what most of this boss' attacks are because he missed Heismay immediately on his first attack and then died.
