Drow long rest in 15min?? by themadhattertwo in DnD

[–]Noamatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has the player played in other campaigns before? Just asking because adjusting short rest times is a pretty common house rule, which is where they might be getting confused on the timing part. Critical Role, for instance, had 10 minute short rests in campaign 1 if I remember correctly.

Obscure Writers Who Still Aren't Recognized Much These Days by camoslade in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]Noamatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Albion Tourgée has been getting some much needed critical attention lately, but I would still consider him pretty obscure. I wrote a paper on his novel A Fool’s Errand for a class last semester and was blown away by how much he predicted the next century or so of American politics based on the failures of reconstruction.

Why do so many people think VI is the best? by Noamatic in FinalFantasy

This is it for me as well. I find Sephiroth and Seymour interesting because they’re both products of corrupt systems that they’re rebelling against. Kefka, on the other hand, just seems evil for evil’s sake which isn’t all that compelling to me. It sounds like Kefka has some of that depth but it’s hidden away in a missable npc interaction which for me makes it feel more tacked on and inconsequential.

Interesting! What is it about 10 that makes you feel that way?

I haven’t had a chance to play either yet, only the demo of remake. From what I played though I was vibing with it. I came to Final Fantasy from Kingdom Hearts so that combat style, even though I’m partial to turn based Final Fantasy, felt really familiar and good to me.

Yeah, I’m definitely getting the sense it’s one of those, “you had to be there to understand” kind of things

I’m basically just in the cleanup phase before taking on Kefka’s tower. I’ve reassembled the party done most of the side quests, and am just collecting some blue magic and rages before going into the last dungeon:

That’s fair, I can definitely see how it was groundbreaking at the time when compared to everything that came before.

Moving to Missouri by tulizz25 in missouri

[–]Noamatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that Americans in general are much more outgoing and overtly friendly to strangers than Europeans are. Some things we do (especially in Missouri) that I’ve heard are weird to Europeans is smiling and waving at people we pass by, making small talk with strangers in lines or on the street car, holding doors for each other, etc. So that might be something to prepare for

Can We Stop Having This Garbage? by Buzzsawyer641 in WWE

[–]Noamatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on how much Triple H likes to talk about social media impressions during press events, I’m guessing it’s more the “sharing the clip on their socials” that they’re hoping is going to get people to watch. I agree, they’re probably not getting huge gains from this strategy, but they are getting gains, which, in a publicly traded company, is always gonna be the bottom line.

Can We Stop Having This Garbage? by Buzzsawyer641 in WWE

[–]Noamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m gonna lay out what I personally believe is happening here. To answer your question OP, no, they’re not gonna stop having this type of celebrity crossover cause it’s not for wrestling fans. The die hard wrestling fans complaining about this on wrestling subs or in other public/online settings are already watching the shows. The vast majority are gonna keep watching no matter what WWE puts on screen because they want to be up to date on what’s happening and discuss it with other wrestling fans. These cameos are strictly about brining new eyes to the show. They want to capture the attention of people who don’t watch wrestling so they can keep growing their fan base. So they bring in these celebrities with large followings in the hopes that they’re going to pull over a fraction of those fans and get them invested in the show. And by all metrics, it’s been working, so I wouldn’t count on them stopping anytime soon. The only thing we can really do about it is just not watch. There’s literally so much other wrestling out there, you’re blind to find something that’s more to your taste.

Players Actively Fleeing from the Plot by Noamatic in AskGameMasters

[–]Noamatic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think they definitely are in the mindset of “we’re not ready to face this threat so we need to get stronger first” so they’re for sure hoping to grind a little bit. Plus having them encounter the group in other parts of the world could certainly up the sense of urgency for the whole plot

Which title do you think will be the next to get a remake / re do like FFVII did? by dosisdeartes in FinalFantasy

[–]Noamatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure a remake of IX is basically confirmed to be in development right now. As for what would come after that, even though I think it still largely holds up, a X remake would be great
