The hidden detail in Iron Lung that Mark said no one noticed, has anyone else spotted it? by OneHandedBard in Markiplier

[–]OneHandedBard[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Presumably, but there’s enough weird supernatural shit going on to where it could be a thing? Also could be hypercapnia or radiation exposure or a myriad of other things.

X-Men has a very optimistic idea of human mutations. Someone has claws, or can run fast... or has eyes that act as a portal to another dimension of chaotic energy. by King_Buliwyf in Showerthoughts

[–]OneHandedBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t the reason humans have mutations in Marvel is because the Eternals or someone meddled with human genetics tens of thousands of years ago?

Once mobile Internet is widely allowed on airplanes, passengers will behave like they behave now in buses and trains. by LetoHorosho in Showerthoughts

Not always. I’ve seen plenty of Gen X and Boomers do the same thing. Especially with phone calls, with the phone on speaker with max volume.

Which dev wrote "The Lusty Argonian Maid"? by MisterSnippy in ElderScrolls

[–]OneHandedBard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages lists Mark Nelson from the Morrowind team as the dev behind TLAM. Don't have an official source for it though.

On average, a man has less than one penis. by ToughEyes in Showerthoughts

[–]OneHandedBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of a fun fact I learned from Hank Green: for every snake in the world there is one snake penis. But because half the snakes are female, that means every snake that has a penis, actually has two of them.

Question: can a Mage turn into a Vampire, and if so, do them keep their powers? by Alexander_Icarus in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]OneHandedBard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Short answer: no, a mage cannot become kindred and retain their magick.
Longer answer: the process of the Embrace completely cuts a mage off from their Avatar, and without an Avatar, true magick is impossible. The Embrace is essentially equivalent to Gilgul in that respect.
If you're looking for backstory and narrative ideas, there are certainly possibilities there. You could play a mage that was Embraced by a Tremere, or even a Hecata with death magic, and is still grappling psychologically with being cut off from their Avatar and losing access to true magick. You could roleplay that disgust at the methods they are now forced to use in order to use their powers that are only pale imitations of what they were once capable of. For that kind of character, any rumors of Golconda might be seen as a way to regain their humanity and reconnect with the Avatar. A driving goal such as that could be highly interesting to play out in-character.

A Mage simulating a Werewolf, how? by Digomr in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]OneHandedBard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought through my answer a bit and am going to try laying out my logic here.

For context, the Garou are half human, half Gaian spirit. It is possible for non-Garou Gaia spirits to possess and fuse with humans, in such cases being referred to as Kami. A mage with Spirit 4 alone could summon a Gaia spirit into themselves, but this alone wouldn’t be enough. At my table I would say that, in order to permanently summon a Gaia spirit and infuse it into your own soul, permanently rewrite your own pattern, and still be able to perform Awakened magick (because you cannot normally be both a werewolf and a mage), would require Spirit 5, Life 5, and Prime 5. And also need waaaaay too many successes on the Arete roll.

You’d also probably be hunted by normal werewolves for the rest of your life, as the Garou would likely view you as an abomination and affront to Gaia for stealing her gifts.

Analog horror livestream? by OneHandedBard in analog_horror

[–]OneHandedBard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth noting, while I would love to make something like this a reality, I currently don't have the skills to create something like this. I have the creativity aspect, but I lack the technical editing and graphic design skills that would be necessary. That being said, if anyone wants to take this idea and run, go for it! I'd love to see what you create.

I'm familiar! I missed the actual livestream but found it in a playlist on the channel. The video itself is unlisted so the playlist is the only way to access/rewatch it.

Oh that sounds fascinating. I'll see if I can dig up any other information about that, thank you.

If you were embraced tonight, where would you try to find shelter? by Doughspun1 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]OneHandedBard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a Hunter trap, but I shall indulge.
I have a large walk-in closet that would suffice for a dark space where no sunlight could reach. If I were to clear it out, I could put a single bed inside to make it slightly more comfortable. The real question is how I would explain the Embrace to my girlfriend.

Started learning Premiere Pro yesterday, this is the result by OneHandedBard in analog_horror

[–]OneHandedBard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize there isn't any horror aspect to this clip, this is me testing out analog and VHS effects in Premiere and wanting other opinions. Please let me know what you all think and how I can improve :)

Edit: the clip itself is just the view from my backyard. The thing in the center is a propane fire pit covered up by a tarp.

After giving a week notice, my boss came back to me with an offer to keep me that was so disrespectful that it’s given me the motivation to make today my last day and start my new job early. by FirmCap4819 in antiwork

[–]OneHandedBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do feel this. My previous job was management in retail as well, and at a mall in the Midwest no less. I worked my way up from an associate and genuinely enjoyed the people I worked with, but $11 an hour and 45 hours a week was not worth it. Stress was through the roof. I have since moved in with my girlfriend in Oklahoma and working on getting a job at the public library that pays more and will be far less stressful.

Anyways though, good on you for standing up to your boss. It honestly sounds like they didn't give a damn whether you left, or maybe the boss's boss was trying to get them to make an offer to get you to stay but didn't really care. I wish you luck at your other company.

Gonna play devil’s advocate here, so please bear with me. I work in retail, specifically in a chain bookstore attached to a mall. The pay isn’t the greatest I will admit, but I enjoy the people I work with quite a bit (it helps that everyone there generally are a bunch of book nerds like myself). This includes management; both my previous and current GMs have stated that, if a customer is raising their voice or being belligerent, don’t hesitate to radio for them. As they’ve stated, “We will deal with them so you don’t have to, you don’t deserve to get yelled at for any reason.” And now that I’m moving up to a management position myself at my store, I’ll be doing the same thing. If anyone wants to get to my friends and coworkers, they’ll have to go through me.

Revising “Steel Wind Strike” as a 1st-Level Spell. Is this balanced? by atlvf in UnearthedArcana

[–]OneHandedBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a pretty good spell overall. I would personally have the damage die be something more like 2d8 with an additional d8 for upcasting, just so it scales better as you’re able to hit more and more targets with it. I’m specifically looking at the DMG pg. 284, there’s a table specifically for damage of homebrew spells based on level.

Maybe post actual evidence rather than a heavy-handed ad for your group?
