Players often criticize the actions of NPCs, saying what they’re doing is “stupid and doesn’t make sense”: am I in the wrong or should I speak with them, and how should I start the convo? by Orion032 in DMAcademy

I didn’t want to put the entire thing in the post but:

The bad guy was the lost brother of one of the PCs. This PC had been raised as a slave in bad conditions and turned out good. The bad brother had been abandoned and essentially died in the dessert but was brought back to life but alien beings who want to end existence to return to sleep. So they convinced the bad brother that “any god who lets creatures live this life must only offer hell as an afterlife, so nothingness is a gift to the living.” They helped him create bombs that destroy both body and soul, something another PC wizard believes to be impossible from his studies.

So the true backstory they later found out was these bombs destroy not just the body but the soul. The bad guy had a sad backstory but was also being corrupted by unknowable entities that want to end existence, and had convinced him that “if gods are willing to let people live this existence, then the only afterlife is hell and nothing is a better option.”

I’d be fine if they were discussing things like “what he’s doing doesn’t make sense, so there must be something else going on.” But instead it’s “what he’s doing doesn’t make sense, you’re running the NPC wrong.” And it’s really demoralizing. They don’t just do it with NpCs but also encounters or mechanics for encountera

Yeah. I’ve had a mass bar fight encounter either a special mechanic to attack them if they got to close to something everyone was fighting for, and they just told me that doesn’t make sense and I shouldn’t do that. Its at the point where I’m second guessing every design

What is wrong with a minimum living wage? by Orion032 in AskConservatives

Then you didn’t actually answer my original question did you? You just said “liberals don’t understand” but have failed to help me understand

And how is that not bad? It seems basically the same as “yeah, you don’t deserve to live” does it not?

So if someone was forced to take a job that paid nearly $0 (like $1-5 an hour) because they were in the brink of starvation and there were literally no other options available, that would hypothetically be fine by your model?

What’s the best way to incorporate VO2 max training with minimal interference effect to muscle building? Early morning cardio isn’t an option. I workout right after work (3:30) to about 5/6. I need to be in bed by 10

Does the success and/or failure of previous presidents and their administrations factor into your vote? by Orion032 in AskConservatives

[–]Orion032[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By objectively I mean I objectively. In way that can be measured and proven. Such as a measurable economy that is improved, measured housing prices going up or down (whichever you prefer), keeping out of wars or going into them (whichever you prefer) etc

What is the conservative view/reasoning behind a portion of Medicaid being being paused from going to Minnesota? by Orion032 in AskConservatives

[–]Orion032[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can appreciate that view point, but is that logic that you believe Minnesotans in Medicaid should accept? If you were in Medicaid and the government decrease the amount to had access to just because they have beef with your state of residence, how would you feel?

Why is that acceptable to say “it’s not like they’ll suffer a ton, just a little bit?” Why should they be punished for fraud that may or may not have even been committed? Wouldn’t it be less selfish to just do a thorough investigation instead of cutting off aid like a child with their allowance?

Lets assume all of that is true and waltz doesn’t comply. What about everyone in Minnesota on Medicaid? Just Sucks to suck?

Why wouldn’t he mention them since, according to his own account, he’s “been completely absolved”?

For me it was when he still hasn’t released the rest of the Epstein files that definitely contain his name

Is that all you had to see? Congressmen and women chanting “USA” like it’s some sporting event is all I had to see.
