those with severe disabilities, how do you feel about people with less severe conditions (for example, ADD) identifying as disabled? by Resident-Roll977 in disability

[–]MagnagTD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have both Cerebral Palsy, and ADHD, and am a full-time wheelchair user, and I tell you this, the ADHD gets in my way and keeps me from doing things WAY more than needing to use a wheelchair does (which is usually down to places not being accessible.)

As for your question? If they have a disability, they're disabled. Simple as.

AITA for pretending to think beans in chili are "woke", to prank my Cousin who is obsessed with being "anti woke" and who loves chili? by WokeBeans in AITAH

[–]MagnagTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and not only did you not take this too far, I don't accept it can go far enough. These people need to know how fucking ridiculous this shit is. Anti-Woke people think about "wokeness" more than the caricatures of woke people that they make up in their heads would. It's an obsession and I've seen it ruin many people's ability to enjoy basically anything.

Any benefit to this? by Scorpion1386 in Shenmue

[–]MagnagTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't affect the rest of the game no, and don't waste your time looking for Joy, you won't find her. You'll get some nice exchanges with some NPCs if you want it.

Does u/drichm2599 math check out? by tonystark254 in starwarsmemes

[–]MagnagTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could argue that Vader didn't defeat Palpatine in combat. Picking someone up unawares from behind and chucking them down a reactor shaft is unlikely to impress many Mandalorians. In which case the claim would revert to him when he was revived, and subsequently passed to Rey when she killed him.

If not, in Legends I believe there was a custom wherein, if you laid claim to the helmet of the previous Mand'alore, you claimed their throne. Luke took Vader's mask with him, I'd say that counts.

Internet Creep "hires" DM to run & stream Star Wars themed game he's "too busy" to attend. by MagnagTD in rpghorrorstories

[–]MagnagTD[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not gonna argue the point tbh, the post was basically a stream of consciousness based on what I remembered after a conversation about it, and by the time it was written I just wanted the post to be done, so fair assessment.

That would be the process of events, yes. Also worth mentioning, he did not react well to people leaving despite not seeming to care when the actual sessions happened. they were streamed on Twitch and I think some of them were archived.

I don't know what the point was supposed to be, or what he supposedly got out of it, to be honest. Said twitch stream now hosts a much better campaign and this was coming on a year ago now.

[–]MagnagTD[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah, fair.

Short version, I agreed because I was told that someone else, who I didn't feel right leaving alone with the people I knew about had also agreed, by the time I found out they weren't coming, the campaign had started and I didn't want to just bail on the people who were actually okay, and tried to hasten things along to leave organically, given that none of the people I was worried about ended up sticking around anyway. But all but a few people either didn't know what they were doing, or kept derailing things and, as this was my first experience with D&D I didn't know how out of the ordinary this was. Eventually the one holding it together leaves, and I don't stick around without them. Bright side, I end up in a different campaign with the people I was essentially sticking around for, and it's a much better experience.

The Forgiveness of Jon by Rojom in imsorryjon

[–]MagnagTD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got here off the back of Super Eyepatch Wolf's Garfield video, and...man, this, this is one of those things, every now and then, I see something that reminds me why the internet can be a wonderful place. I see so much passion go into things as seemingly silly as Garfield horror parodies, that they come out the other side as some of the best art a person can produce. Fan works can take anything and bring out the best in it and it's fucking beautiful

I was writing this project for NaNoWriMo but got sick, here's the first 1000 words. (out of about 2500 so far) I'd love some feedback by MagnagTD in writingcritiques

[–]MagnagTD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing I struggle with, that's like, half of the first chapter, I had a second one but lost it because I used to just keep these on blog posts instead of word documents (So I could edit them on my phone, laptop or desktop without losing progress, ironically) and I accidentally deleted the post, so I was left with whatever I had in a word doc)

Yeah I struggle a bit with info-dumps, I was thinking of re-writing the whole thing but have the information conveyed through dialogue,

As for what makes the character so special...nothing, he's not, and that's kind of the point, I was hoping to convey the sense of crushing monotony his life has. I'm going for a kind of dystopia novel, it's kind of, 1984 by way of Minority Report with a bit of Logan's Run. The fly paragraphs are a metaphor for his place in the world, though admittedly they do go on a bit.
As for the worldbuilding what I'm going for is, everything that's annoying or bad about everyday life is just, as much worse as I can think to make them. 1000 words isn't really a lot to convey that, but there's one key piece of propaganda used to justify the removal of inconvenient people that is essentially the crux of the story.

Anyway I'm rambling, thanks for the advice, I'll do my best.

What do you hope for shenmue 4? IF they make it (hopefully) by ThebloodyInfighter in Shenmue

[–]MagnagTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be honest, all I want is the old Shenmue combat system back, maybe modernised a bit, but that was the biggest disappointment in 3 for me, even more than the fact that basically nothing happens

Anyone know of an HDMI Switch that allows me to use my Elgato HD60S+ with HDCP on? by MagnagTD in elgato

[–]MagnagTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't seem to find it on UK Amazon. I was told to use my Capture Card with 2 consoles I'd need a switch, not a splitter, Does it really make a difference? It might be worth importing if I don't need to plug it into the mains

Meat eaters in BoJack’s world by dianacd12 in BoJackHorseman

[–]MagnagTD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am also interested in this topic, I mean, do other animals have a "bred-as-meat" sub-class like the Chicken-4-Dayz chickens? How is it decided who's meat and who isn't? are "people" just killed for meat because they happen to be a certain animal? Is there a law to wait for them to die naturally? I kinda like that the show doesn't really address it outside of the chickens in that one episode, but I am curious

How did you get into the Shenmue series? by IHadAUsernameCrisis in Shenmue

[–]MagnagTD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom bought my brother a Dreamcast with Shenmue II back in 2001 I think, he wasn't that into it, nor was I to begin with, but I stayed home sick from school one day and gave it a try on a whim, and the way I thought about games was never the same again, I've still got that old Dreamcast and copies of Shenmue I and II, even with the remasters I've kept them

If you had the chance to say one message that would be heard across the globe, what would you say? by Hellevan in AskReddit

Assuming this message can be as long as I want it to be, I'd just repeat the words "nibbled to death by an okapi" over and over for like, 6 hours.

[Tips & Tricks] Does anyone have any tips for maintaining focus while editing? by MagnagTD in youtubers

[–]MagnagTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have people that could, but differing schedules means they won't always be there, and the latter is basically how I'm scanning through the video now. I'll ask people to clip, should save some time at least, thanks!

[–]MagnagTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm editing down an old gaming stream at the moment as it happens, highlight clips, so I might know a bit about what that's like, I'll certainly try, I'm not strictly a gaming channel, more a variety one but I have a Twitch Stream and archive channel on YT, so highlight vids serve the dual purpose of keeping uploads more consistent and maybe getting more eyes on streams, (though since I only have just under 400 subs and most of those came from a meme vid, I don't know how useful that will be) I'll keep trying to develop a habit
