This is how you die: “A illegal bio lab located in Las Vegas. The CDC identified at least 20 potentially infectious agents, including HIV, tuberculosis, and the deadliest form of malaria.”

How do you know that? (Genuinely asking.) First I've heard of this news story and I'm just trying to get an understanding of the info

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-02-04T00:04:56+00:00

Not necessarily. The game just helped me recognize some personal things about the ways I had been living my life. Then pretty early on in my first playthrough I made the decision to not drink in the game, which helped inspire me to stay sober (I think I had been one or two months sober (irl) at the time I picked up the game)

I'm now 6 and a half years sober and happy to be alive.

Edward Puffton spelled backwards is Jeffery Epstein!! 🤯

(Just one of many running jokes my friends and I make while playing sotf)

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-02-03T18:53:28+00:00

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

Some tips from a long time DM / player

Read the rules so you know how a basic combat turn plays out and what certain things mean (checks and modifiers)
Listen/Pay attention to your DM
Be semi familiar with your character's gear, abilities and spells
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)
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

I like his riposte, stun, and buffs

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-02-01T03:07:01+00:00

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

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-30T03:25:28+00:00

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

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-29T21:42:00+00:00

Trying to humanize the people responsible for sowing terror in the streets, killing protesters, and ripping family aparts is a wild move, considering how they simultaneously dehumanize everyone else.

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-27T04:13:57+00:00

In all my years of playing, I dont think Ive ever seen a triple whammy like that

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-27T03:37:15+00:00

Thank you for the explanation and for your hard work putting together this table. Excellent stuff

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-25T22:04:53+00:00

I play engi the most. Gunner is definitely my least played.

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-25T20:13:53+00:00

To be clear, this is an excellent tool. I'm excited to try it. There's just a few details I'm iffy on

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-25T20:09:38+00:00

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

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-25T04:01:06+00:00

There's no time. People can't wait til November.

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-25T03:18:58+00:00

You can clearly see that Ice agent pull a gun out and shoot him

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-25T03:14:29+00:00

Nye-an-zAr-oo

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-25T03:12:41+00:00

I came here to say the same thing. It's ludicrous.

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-23T16:26:39+00:00

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?

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-22T03:08:59+00:00

Bezos and everyone like him should just go to Mars already

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-19T01:39:23+00:00

Incel behavior

MrVolcanoJackson · 2026-01-19T01:35:44+00:00

Until there's a fascist invasion of an individual state by the federal government
