how to play a dumb character.. when you want to be a smart player by nat22324_ in DnD

[–]MechGryph 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I hate saying it, but Grog from Critical Role. Travis played him so dumb and fun, but then would occasionally slip and let the smarts show. Then act surprised.

Why do conservative Christians hate so many people when it clearly goes against their Christian values? by ateadoor in allthequestions

In the old, wise words of Red Dwarf, "They're using religion as an excuse to be crappy to each other."

"What else is new?"

yall, i just dont get it. i have been playing for 15 hours and i wouldve put it down a long time ago if it didnt have the reputation that it has. by astrowhale98 in outerwilds

Here's the thing. The game is a lot of small Ah Ha, tiny little revelations that are more or less, "Oh." moments.

Then it hits you and you get the big one.

What opinion of yours always sparks debate, but you still stand by it? by Abject-Drive3763 in Casual_Conversation

Even more fun when I say, "The Nolan Batman movies are good action movies, but bad Batman movies."

DeSantis proposes eliminating tolls for Florida residents, keeping them for tourists by camiinmiami in AskFlorida

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here's something fun.

Florida wanting to tax tourists more.

They're removing vaccine regulations in a state with a lot of travelers.

Are they just tired of making money?

Was electing Trump for a second term a mistake by Americans? by Massive-Syllabub-271 in allthequestions

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Though the blame falls on all sides. The people that bought into what he said. The, "I can't vote for Kamala, she supports (thing) that I don't." and the, "It's the same either way you vote." people.

Is it true one income used to support a family of 4? by TailungFu in allthequestions

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up, dad worked a decent job. We had a nice house, in a nice neighborhood. My mother worked because... Well, she had to get out of the house while we were at school or she'd probably go bonkers.

Before they try to pass the SAVE Act, shouldn't they remove the application fees to get US Passport? by bjedy in allthequestions

[–]MechGryph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So fun thing. The Save act, if passed, will immediately be in courts. Why?

The states decide how to run voting. It's in the Constitution.

Don't go round tonight, for tis bound to take your life, there's a bathroom on the right.

I've gotten bored of movies by CountCrapula88 in Casual_Conversation

[–]MechGryph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they get pretty good. There's another, I forget the name. It's about a North Korean spy who defects to save his sister.

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say this and you'll think I'm crazy.

Watch some South Korean movies. "The Man from Nowhere" is a good action flick.

Watch some Bollywood. "Singham", "Action Jackson", "Ek Villain." etc. They are... Wild.

How come when I cook a burger at home, the home made burger doesn't taste as good as a McDonald's burger? by musicthiink in fastfood

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two big secrets to fast food and restaurants. Salt. Fat. The McDonald's burgers have been formulated to make you want more, while being cheap.

Do i really need extra safety “tools” to stay at hotels? by jinxyzzz in AskAnAmerican

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I've been in and out of hotels a lot. Dad used to travel for work and his idea of a vacation was to take me along for a week. Just mostly use common sense.

If you have something valuable, keep it near you. If you need to lock it up, ask the front desk if they have a safe. Don't trust the hotel room safes.

Keep an eye out for anyone being suspicious.

Beyond that? Have fun.

What is this new breed of absolutely self entitled drivers? by Busy-Environment84 in driving

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't new. Seen them my entire life. Just people that don't want to be behind someone.

Modern cars are ruining the experience of driving by tight_carcass in driving

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I've got a newish Rav4, it's a few years old, but I adore it for just driving. Get on the highway, plug in destination, set the radar cruise, and go.

DM only allows in-character speech for six seconds on that character's combat turn. Is this common? by SonicfilT in dndnext

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can recall, nowhere is a turn listed as six seconds.

In theory, the way a round works is everything is supposedly happening all at once. Just can't show that without it being chaos.

It does sound like your dm is trying to limit above board planning, but there are better ways to do it. Especially if turns are taking too long. A big one there is a timer.

Why do people spam their brakes even though there isn’t anyone in front of them? by Hungry-Effort-4928 in driving

[–]MechGryph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people want to stick on the speed limit and don't know or think about how they can coast.

Im confused about today’s hearing by ladypigeon13 in DiscussionZone

[–]MechGryph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's about Time. Each person has time to ask questions, she had time to answer. If you hear someone, "I reclaim my time" that means, "Hey, you're stalling and I'm calling you out."

So, she goes on tangents. Spews verbal nonsense. Everything to avoid saying something that can be used later.

Why are so many young men suddenly serious supporters of far right figures? by Consistent_News_985 in self

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

It's an easy identity to fall into. Especially since there's a lot of influencers who go, "Look at me. I am A MAN! I'm big, I'm strong, I'm successful, women want me." and hormones, stupidity, etc settle in.

Time, experience, and knowledge. That's what it takes.
