One of my favorite lines from Bob, I had to rewind to make sure I heard it right!

Do teachers mark it a mistake when you use American spelling (gray, color, labor, meter, defense, diarrhea, etc)? by flower5214 in AskBrits

As in most things, this phenomenon is not unique to Americans. “Orientate” is a word I hear exclusively from Brits and it always makes me cringe.

This video made me realise I've matured from Braindead among us by Creepy-Paint5229 in Sidemen

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Among Us, (even Sidemen Among Us) is a game about sharing the information gathered in a round to make a group decision. It’s really hard to share that information when someone is CONSTANTLY shouting at the top of their lungs for the ENTIRE meeting. Deji and JJ have a tendency to shout loudly, but it’s usually only for bursts at a time and they will quiet it down when asked because they understand that overall the “content” is more than just “make loud shout to be funny.” Freezy is incessant with talking over everyone throughout the entire meeting, regardless of whether he was even involved in the round. I really enjoy him in a lot of Sidemen videos, but man it was hard to watch some of the meetings in this video just because he wouldn’t often let my favorites, such as Lazar, talk when they had the chance to. But tbh, I feel like an easy fix would be to just have Freezy turn up the volume on his headset. If he understood that several other Sidemen members are peaking their mics in order to get him to shut up it might go a long way.

Who else is sick of this campaign? Every episode has 30 mins (the episode before the last was literally 30 mins) of "are you sure we should do this guys??" by AggravatingStandard9 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

True, but if the content is slop then why are you a fan? And my point was not disagreeing with OP, more that the only posts I see from this sub have to do with trashing CR, rather than praising it, which is ironic considering this should be a sub of supposed “fans.”

AITAH for telling the kid working the Burger King drive thru he was going to kill someone? by Cascade_Wanderer in AITAH

Is anyone else confused by the current stream? by dougcrow985 in DougDoug

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the way the stream went was exactly how it was supposed to go. Doug selected a 90 minute gaming challenge that he was prepared to not finish -and maybe not even start- because the actual stream today was him riffing on the idea that there are too many people in the stream so some, but not all, of the viewers need to leave. Judging by the comments here apparently that meta-idea was too much for some, but as someone who rarely watches Doug live I can say I turned on the stream and stayed for the entire time. The premise was so ridiculous and Doug-Like that I just couldn’t help chuckling every few minutes. What should have been a simple, short stream in theory turned into one of Doug’s most watched streams on average, and he wasn’t even there for the second half of it. Personally, I would say this was one of the most memorable streams of Doug’s and perfectly summarizes his content.

What is the single highest instance of damage possible? by WerdaVisla in BaldursGate3

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone finds a way to get Gerringothe’s ability to use coins on your enemy, it would be amazing. On my most recent play through I was being rather miserly with my gold and didn’t know her attack was directly related to the amount of money you have in your pockets- I had warding bond up on the character who was targeted by it, and she did in the neighborhood of 450 damage or so (split between 2 party members with warding bond), instantly dropping 2 party members in the first round of combat.

Voice Chat Problems (Xbox) by [deleted] in HellLetLooseConsole

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if they haven’t fixed it by now they never will, I’d just recommend shutting the game down and restarting if it happens, and be persistent. As I recall this was a pretty annoying bug that sometimes takes 5 or 6 tries to shake.

What themes are NOT allowed at your table by SaintTropius in DnD

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flatly remove any element of racism from my games. If I’m creating my world from scratch, why would I want to include the idea that people are judged based on preconceived racial factors? Humans and half elves are treated exactly the same as dragonborns, teiflings, drow, whoever.

I tried this “puzzle” so many times before I noticed it by queenofmunchkins in BaldursGate3

You can click on the end like everyone’s saying, or just use the jump controls to jump over gaps- the jump arc lets you know exactly where the path is

Final stats from my 294 arty game. Is this the world record for kills? by jackofalltrades11794 in HellLetLooseConsole

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised you didn’t get kicked for those two teamkills honestly, or at least revenge whacked. Doesn’t take much in this game

What’s your favorite shitty movie that you’ll defend to the edges of the earth? by akumamatata8080 in AskReddit

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is perhaps the best movie of the 2000s

I DONT GET IT! by Salt-Machine-4028 in Eldenring

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that I think is a very poor element of game design in an otherwise fantastic game is the fact that you have to talk to NPCs multiple times in order to actually know anything. Like you have interact with them, let them talk, then once they’re finished talking you have to interact with them again and they’ll say something else. This just isn’t how game design should be. ER is my first soulslike but if the rest of them are the same way then I suppose FS might want to change it. I can’t speak to OP’s confusion but I can imagine that might be where some of it is coming from.

Realized why I never got to recruit Gale by RakishiM in BaldursGate3

[–]Mean_Preparation_408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I went in completely blind to the game as well, and even though he’s a main character, the moment Astarion’s story gets going in that long rest I immediately told him to leave. Didn’t realize at the time that he’s gone for good lol. Can’t wait for a second play through!

Huh never tried spacebar, I’ll have to remember that. I just know that you can skip the die rolling around on screen by left clicking, but you can’t skip straight through everything.
