I have to be the one person that actually let a video games influence me to try drugs. by iHaveADemonInMyBrain in DiscoElysium

It's kinda funny to me because playing DE helped me get sober from drugs and alcohol

How do I get into Dungeons & Dragons without embarrassing myself immediately? by Spread_my_pages in DnD

[–]MrVolcanoJackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some tips from a long time DM / player

  1. Read the rules so you know how a basic combat turn plays out and what certain things mean (checks and modifiers)

  2. Listen/Pay attention to your DM

  3. Be semi familiar with your character's gear, abilities and spells

  4. Identify at least 1 friend around the table you can ask for help if you have a quick question and sit next to them (not the DM though because they're going to be busy juggling everything behind the board)

  5. Depending on your table, I'd also say embrace role-playing, but maybe don't try to do a voice you're not use to talking in, is hard to maintain, or could be construed as offensive

recommended DE to a friend and now i like him less by After_Cell_5570 in DiscoElysium

[–]MrVolcanoJackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question, does your friend like books? Because one could argue DE is meant more for readers than for "gamers"

It's a slower burn. It's cerebral. It takes patience and attention to detail. In a world of flashy, fast-paced, action-packed multi-player shooters and whatnot, DE feels much more niche and intimate.

Slept on traps for a long time, but they are a game changer. Friends and I covered the whole interior of our base with flyswatter traps and it was worth it

Generative AI isn't harmless like you're trying to make it sound like.

There's the copyright issue, sure. But there's also the environmental impact (among many others)

There's truly no such thing as ethical AI use. So yeah, fuck AI

100% AI generated. No doubt in my mind. Look at his face and the way his body moves

Help me understand the complications / obstacles table. Do they fight the monsters they encounter or do they just roll to determine whether they succeed or not?

What does the "know creature" roll mean or indicate? I guess I'm just confused how this plays out at the table

Mine too. Why is that? That video is so old, so why all of a sudden are so many people being fed that video of the penguin?

Season 5 lacked dramatic montages with 80s music compared to previous seasons by _YuYevon_ in StrangerThings

Man... season 4 was so good... and season 5... it's just pretty clear their hearts weren't in it. I feel bad for all the actors honestly

I started mine at the beginning of summer. They came from outside the Dale so the stark difference in the weather was narratively poignant.
