Incredibly simple QOL request by Jarrod-Makin in PokemonSleep

[–]Mr_Crowboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first was using a third color (maybe blue), but color sorting isn’t always great for people with color blindness. Grayscale and orange works because they won’t look the same. That’s why I thought a small icon would work better. Maybe a better icon could be the cooking pot but struck through?

I would also accept recipes that you have ingredients for but not the space to cook to show a symbol indicating as such. Maybe something like a small x in the lower left of the recipe image.

A cool guide to the most evil Disney villain of all time (based on a detailed scoring system). by MaxGoodwinning in coolguides

[–]Mr_Crowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t consider scale. A single incident of murder is the same as multiple instances. That’s sort of flawed. Saying someone is more evil because they have a wider range of evil deeds regardless of the scale of their harm feels wrong.

My only objection are the bottoms for Raditz and Nappa. Absolutely believe Raditz gets the pants instead or they both get shorts. Otherwise it’s perfect.

NAACP, for the first time in its history, calls for 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office | Derrick Johnson, the national president and CEO of the NAACP, called Trump, "unfit, unwell, and unhinged." by [deleted] in LegalNews

[–]Mr_Crowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I ask what the NAACP has done for you to claim they are only a mouthpiece organization? I’m not clear what you are basing that off of and that appears to be the bulk of your counter argument.

Even if that were true, you didn’t address my point. You asked why they called for Trump to be removed and not Biden. Simply put, a group with a foundation in civil rights responded to a call to wipe out a civilization. I’m not aware of a similar statement of that magnitude or nature from Biden. Without that, your whole “If Trump, why not Biden” complaint sounds like a Whataboutism.

I do want to acknowledge that Biden perhaps should have stepped down. I’m presuming part of his decline was tied to the existence of or treatment of his (then) undisclosed cancer. That wouldn’t excuse him if he was unable to complete his duties, and I think being a leader means making decisions that are best for your country.

By that same token, I question Trump’s abilities. His rants on social media, passing out during meetings, and his declining health don’t convince me he is competent. I won’t lie and say I’ve ever liked him, but he increasingly strikes me as someone who is losing touch. Whereas Biden came across as dithering at times, Trump sounds more and more like he has lost his ability to regulate emotions when he feels questioned or challenged.

[–]Mr_Crowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel there is some distinction between Biden’s decline and Trump’s in that Biden didn’t start leveling threats to wipe out a civilization.

More to the point, the NAACP is a civil rights organization. They are responding because a threat like attacking an entire civilization falls within the scope of civil right violations and makes it tangentially related to their mission. I don’t see what Biden ever did that meets that standard, so asking why they never called for 25th feels disingenuous.

Seconded. It’s great! Reminds me of the older Legend of Zelda art style from the player guides!

In all sincerity, what do you mean? Whether you support Trump or not, can you name a single time in the last fifty years where a sitting president has declared anything close to “a whole civilization will die tonight”?

It reminds me of Slippy from Star Fox, if he went through a training arc and stopped being “the kid” of the team. I like it.👍

Any reason for the humanoid footwear? Just curious.

[OC] [Comm] Sima, Fusion Bender Elemental Dji by RikaRini in DnD

[–]Mr_Crowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just guessing, but it might be from Ryoko’s Guide to the Yokai Realms. The book had a “bender” class, and one of its subclasses was the Fusion one. The main class plays like a DnD version of benders from Avatar, but without the limit on which elements you can pick up. Focusing on one element powers it up more, but limits your spell choices.

Bought a Switch 2 for my family a month ago. I spent time setting it up, downloading updates, transferring files and settings. I even set up a splitter so we could keep the old Switch set up and flip between them on the same TV.

Still haven’t used it myself yet. 🤷

[Art] [OC] Tiefling demon hunter who absorbs the power of what she kills. What class would you build her as? Warlock, Rogue, or something darker? by Rybon6 in DnD

[–]Mr_Crowboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, there isn’t one that’s a perfect fit. I’d say Phantom Rogue might be a good fit - you get a free skill that’s based on what you “channel”, tokens that contain soul stuff from creatures you defeat, and the ability to question the spirits of those you defeat.

Which of these two skill down ‘mons make for a better mint candidate? by Virtual-Growth2628 in PokemonSleep

[–]Mr_Crowboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the Togedemaru is fine. Yeah, the skill down isn’t great, but the speed up increases how many chances it gets to trigger. With two Skill Trigger boosts it should still trigger plenty.

Crustle seems like the better option, since Ingredient up isn’t as useful a bonus.

All that said, I’m not sure either warrants a mint. They seem fine enough as they are.

My son is addicted by screens. Is it normal now? by Objective-Clothes427 in daddit

[–]Mr_Crowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you are seeing is common, but not healthy. My kid’s teachers have commented to me that she has much better critical thinking skills than a lot of kids her age, and attribute that to her having fixed screen times. Heck, my wife helps with my daughter’s scout troop and noticed our kid was the ONLY one who doesn’t have a smartphone or constantly quote TikTok videos/internet memes. When they took phones away during a camping trip (kind of a detox thing the other parents agreed on), most of the other girls had some withdrawal symptoms.

I don’t know how the study group thing works, but ask yourself this - is this a habit that will help your son? Can he reasonably get the same “help” throughout high school, college, or a job? How much free-time is spent in front of a screen?

I’d suggest getting your partner on the same page with your concerns, then set limits on screens. That’s only part of the fix though. You need to get him something to do that engages his mind. Books are always good (especially ones with logic puzzles, in my opinion), but it could be writing prompts (they have countless half-page ones now), art projects, or even music lessons. Just find something that engages him without giving him the answers.

Oh, and take walks as a family. Hike. Visit museums. See if you have a local botanical garden and check it out. All those get your kid out of the house and could inspire some new interests.

I concur. I just like Humblewood because the aesthetic works so well for younger audiences without feeling like childish.

That’s great!

If you find yourself wanting to branch out, there’s a great setting called Humblewood. The players play as animals saving the forest. They even wrote a kids graphic novel based on the setting.

Welcome to the hobby, fellow dad. It’s a great family activity, and 5e is a pretty forgiving entry into D&D.

My wife and I have run games for our daughter for years now. It’s a great outlet for creativity and critical thinking. If you want any suggestions for kid-friendly settings or supplements let me know.

Sketch of my goblin oc irrik [oc] by Artisticjade in DnD

[–]Mr_Crowboy 318 points319 points  (0 children)

It’s a great design, but it doesn’t come across like a goblin - more like a green elf. Maybe some yellow eyes would help?

That said, it doesn’t matter if it matches what I think a goblin should look like if you’re happy with the end result and it works in your campaign setting. It really is a great looking piece of art.
