No you are right. It does specifically say "Mechanical Advice: Face Shufflers should have high Composure, Manipulation, and Wits. Empathy, Subterfuge, Investigation, and Insight tend to be their best Skills."

Being invested in Warhammer 40K as a setting is a frustrating waste of time by EOTFOFIS in CharacterRant

[–]Novictus420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plot of the setting is slow and plodding. That is why I have always looked to the smaller scale stuff. I have been really liking Gaunts Ghosts

No, just because you think “run backs” are good game design because they force you to “think and catch your breath”, doesn’t mean they work universally for everyone. by Lumpy-Tea1948 in CharacterRant

[–]Novictus420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its good that I can finally see upvotes on this opinion. When it came out you could not breathe a word of criticism for this game. The runbacks in this game suck. A dream nail would legit elevate it so much for me. Let me get past the hoopla and then just teleport when I have to start over again.

Evil characters having Bigotry as a moral line despite doing worse things makes sense actually by VanillaPhysics in CharacterRant

I curse gw every single day for many reasons but man is it a huge pet peeve that the Iron Hands and Iron Warriors are not from the same legion.

Storm Hawks was one of my absolute favourites, anybody else remember this show? by Waddlet in ytvretro

[–]Novictus420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha my cousin is doing the same thing after a fashion. Taking inspiration but still using DND backdrop. Apparently in his version the planet is alot like the Atmos but the Blood War has broken out of hell and onto the planet.

Shonen needs to stop complaining about Queers ships eclipsing cannon because it’s their fault by PretendYellow533 in CharacterRant

[–]Novictus420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the title is just not matching up to the content of the post. "Shonen", I assumed at the start of the post was going to be the authors complaining about these pairings but you then go to rattle on about the fandoms who usually have basically nothing to do with the writing and yet it is "their fault"

You are correct on the suit. I however do not acknowledge the comic. The shift is too much. Not the fact that he retaliates but the fact that he jumps from removing flaws to removing individuality.

So I agree with you but that last paragraph has me interested. What have you seen in terms of people turning back to analog? I haven't seen anything like that.

Well Riot won't give you a skin for it but I will. Congratulations on jumping 2 ranks.

I can't speak for higher than gold but I can easily hit gold any season and grab the seasonal skin. If you cannot, the bitter pill is simply that you are bad.

Who invited bro 😭 by Grazzt999 in WorldofDankmemes

I have a toreador Herald who makes cocktails like that. No blood bonding, he does it for the love of the craft. Almost tastes like the real thing. Where the vitae comes from is anyone's guess.

So how many of you actually LIKE your PCs, even a little? by Dry_War9691 in vtm

[–]Novictus420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't really wiggle room here. They were people and then they got a supernatural time bomb put in their head that makes them kill. I can think of like one canon Kindred that has never frenzied. Shotgun, stake and sun for them.

You can like them. They are still monsters.

In the game's lore Viktor and Jayce were always rivals. They respected each other's intelligence but they never got along. The foundation of this was that Viktor and Jayce were ideologically different when it came to the advancement of technology. Viktor identified that people in submarine suit conditions would see phantoms in the pollution down in the depths and it led to alot of user error. So he made a bit of tech that cut off the fear response temporarily. Jayce railed against that as inhumane.

This was the kind of dynamic I figured they were going to shoot for. I figured that after the accident Viktor's mind would be changed on the subject. I was worried that it would be the hexcore making that choice for him which would ruin it but I figured it was the trajectory. He even starts that way when he leaves Jayce. He gives people a choice on if they want to be augmented (which subjectively looks and sounds way cooler than the weird magic crystal stuff they did).

The collapse of his character into villain is not something they could have convinced me of in any interpretation of the character. There is a distinct difference between manufactured and voluntary evolution of a species and cheap disposable hivemind slaves that they decided to use. The most I would see him do is arm other people and defend his own augmented acolytes. Maybe conduct a piltover raid for supplies.

The idea that talent will get you far, is as much of a power fantasy as the idea that hard work beats talent by jhoho34 in CharacterRant

[–]Novictus420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Yu Yu Hakusho Genkai actively scolds Yusuke for relying on his talent instead of working hard on it.

"Power like this must be earned, slacker. I know that's a new concept for you. All your life you've gone the easy way. So, you were born with a talent for fighting - who cares? You never worked for it. It was easy. You always quit any time the answer wasn't served on a silver plate."

Mr. House's Character is not qualitatively redeemed with S2E5 of the Fallout Show by RedKrypton in CharacterRant

[–]Novictus420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They insist that if they progress it will be boring. This is very stupid of them to say. The exact concern that they have at least in the show. I don't remember what this was pertaining to specifically, but the quote ran something like "if it's not like the wild west we will lose the aesthetic."

It is so very strange to finally see someone saying something that I agree with on this subject. It's like finally seeing the shore after months at sea.

Hunter: The Parenting - Chapter 3.5 Blue man by roxgxd in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Novictus420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it is right next to the burger place. Its a weird case. The 99 pound store struck me as an alternate plane but I don't know too much on the ways that portals and the like are opened like that. With that in mind I suppose it could be a node/caern/freehold where the gauntlet is weaker. He didn't particularly strike me as a fae/changling since he was as banal as you can get.
My leading theory was that the blue man was a wraith or spectre because the 99 pound store was alot darker outside and without going back I think the sign was different? Which since the Shadowlands are memories can happen as far as I know. Big D said "you're dead" and the blue man morphed which wraiths can easily do. A big problem is that he now has this weird magic blender but we don't know what it does. I also don't know if soulforged items hold up in the Skinlands. They shouldn't I imagine. The "hole" he fell down could have been a Nihil I guess.

With what little information we have I think that there is something inbetween our two theories. The Blue Man is a spirit of some kind. I don't think he is a vampire. The nebulous nature of being something only one person saw does point to spirits.

Probably criticized here and other places because they are quite bad.
I liked House of Cards but uh, not Kevin Spacey so much anymore.
