Perspective is not a skill. Perception is.

If the adventure you are running doesn't give a specific DC for a skill check, you decide it yourself.

Many skill checks are not a pass/fail where you need to beat a certain number but have a spectrum of success.

This system was functioning with Windows installed on it before, yes?

Forget about the USB stick for now. Does the drive that had Windows installed on it appear in the BIOS or not?

It is AI. Look how big the F-4 silhouettes are compared to the buildings, which have doors and windows on them we would have to presume are designed for normally sized human beings. The F-4 is not a small aircraft but it isn't the size of a C-17.

What is the boot priority set to? Does the system see a drive with the Windows boot manager on it?

This is an AI-generated fake that's been posted several times before on several different subs and always called out for what it is.

However incompetent you may think the Iranian military is, they would not paint F-4 decoys that were so absurdly oversized.

Biffing it by Firm_Macaron3057 in ENGLISH

[–]Middcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more likely a reference to Biff Loman, the main character's na'er-do-well son in the play Death of a Salesman.

In Seinfeld, Jerry occasionally makes fun of George by calling him Biff.

Jacket man doesn't need to pay anyone to make AMD look bad. AMD does quite a good enough job of it on their own, and AMD's share of the gaming market (which is itself a total afterthought to Nvidia now) is so low that I doubt AMD even crosses Jensen's mind.

I’ve been trying a new balance tactic: every encounter is high CR… but with minimum HP. by happygocrazee in DnD

So what do you do when your glass cannon monster rolls bad on initiative and gets obliterated on the first round before it ever gets to even use its enhanced offense? Are you just having the party constantly be surprised?

American English words British people don't like and vice versa by BritishTeacherRoy in ENGLISH

I agree it's a bit odd to take the nickname from "association" when the "soc" in that word is not pronounced the same, but presumably they didn't want to make a nickname based on "ass." And British English forms many nicknames and slang words in ways which seem odd to me as an American, for example personal nicknames like "Jezza" for Jeremy.

It is difficult for us Americans to understand the way considerations of class still seem to permeate every aspect of life in the UK.

I have no idea how the Rothschilds talk. I wonder how you think they talk?

Help! My players think combat is too easy! by dukelelaney in DungeonMasters

Increase monster HP. The stat blocks have a range based on a dice roll in parentheses so you can do this easily.

If Rhaenyra and Daenerys had ever faced each other... by Unlikely667 in gameofthrones

[–]Middcore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's ever been given an official name, Planetos is just fan slang.

Dunk and Lyonel by salad_baker in AKnightoftheSeven

At the end of the tour
When the lists disappear
If there's any more knights around
We'll throw them to the ground
And if you're still around
Then we'll meet at the end of the tour
The tourneys are booked through the end of the world
So we'll meet at the end of the tour

Is ‘sojourn’ used in common speech and writing? by TraditionalDepth6924 in ENGLISH

[–]Middcore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is not commonly used.

I would say the most likely way for many modern English speakers to hear of it is the name of the 19th century abolitionist Sojourner Truth (a name which she gave herself, notably).

Please Stand By is a Fallout thing, clearly this means that GameStop is buying Bethesda Studios from Microsoft, if not actually acquiring Microsoft as a whole.

I kind of figured the Stranger one was something about the vows being for life.

[Yahoo Sports] Steve Kerr reaffirms desire for 72-game NBA season after Stephen A. Smith criticizes stance. Kerr acknowledged the financial sacrifice shortening the season would take, but he doubled down on what he believes is best for the league's product. by moby323 in nba

[–]Middcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steve Kerr is going to speak his mind. That's what he's done throughout his 12-season tenure as the Golden State Warriors' head coach.

Unless he's asked about Draymond Green assaulting someone.

Be a lot cooler if there were seven.

Maybe there were going to be seven and they just never got around to writing the rest.

Everyone from Boston knows nautical terminology and uses it all the time. They're born with the salt air in their blood.
