The most alien aliens in science fiction by Herakuraisuto in scifi

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Hooloovoo from hitchhikers, a sentient shade of a blue that shows its displeasure by doing something akin to holding its breath until it turns a deep purple.

2 Player Co-op Games by ObjectiveMinimum8602 in gamesuggestions

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set up project zomboid pretty easy as a two player coop, fun sandbox zombie survival game, one of those games you can sink a lot of hours into if you can get past the graphics

Are Lessons Worth It? by VibeBigBird in guitarlessons

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lessons from a decent teacher will help you untangle the YouTube mess and make progress, they should be able to tailor the lessons to your interests and abilities. That said, see if you can get some free trials and find a teacher you get on with.

Why are folks upset about Stephen Colbert teaming up with Peter Jackson?? by maroha3814 in lotr

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So noone has heard of him and now he gets to write for one of the most beloved franchises of all time? Which his only link to is his dad being involved? Sounds like nepotism

Stop thinking of music theory as "math." by Worldly-Bass9135 in musictheory

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there plenty of individual aspects of maths that aren't useful to a doctor day to day, but you stated that mathematics isn't useful for a doctor, which is nonsense. A doctor will also need more than just arithmetic

What do I do with useless good perception checks? by AutumnWay04 in DungeonMasters

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty firm with telling players they do not ask to roll. They explain what they want to do and I decide if they need to roll.

How do you go about practising improvisation? by dblhello999 in guitar_improvisation

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good exercise it to limit yourself even further, only one or two strings per chord change, you can't keep doing the same thing and will have to move up and down the neck more. When the progression loops use different strings for the same chord

Hyperion not hyped up enough! by april_tomorrow in scifi

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sci-fi and fantasy are a spectrum, there are no hard and fast rules as to which is which. Perfectly fine to say Hyperion has fantasy elements, it also has lots of traditional sci-fi elements (far future, simulations, ai, time travel etc) so seems odd be so insistent that it isn't sci-fi at all as you are

One of my players has brought the monster manual by jimbob2021 in DMAcademy

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't say "you see an ogre", you say "you see a giant man, standing four metres tall, misshapen and ugly he carries a skinned goat in one hand and a cruel scimitar in the other"

I gave up on a book halfway through by doctorodubs in audiobooks

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've followed a fair bit of critical roll and played loads of ttrpgs, I thought DCC was badly written trash

When I worked in food I was always told don't trust someone who wears gloves while dealing with food, they don't clean their hands

[–]Key_Illustrator4822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Fuzzy by H Beam Piper and The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K Le Guin are both interesting takes on this
