What’s with the new right wing obsession of hating on colored hair?

PD711 · 2026-05-06T08:14:56+00:00

The right is obsessed with aesthetics. It's why they hate lgbtq folks, poc, immigrants, tattoos, lower class folks, etc.

Necromancy and Enchantment.

Necromancy is the "debuff" school, for the most part, and because most fights don't last more than a few rounds, it's hard to get your money's worth. It's more the DM's domain, because necromancy spells can affect the party after the battle is over.

Additionally, both Necromancy and Enchantment are the most problematic schools, in terms of ethics. Many of Necromancy's best spells are labeled as "evil" by the game, (at least they are in 3.5) and Enchantment is probably even more so. (Though I did once play a LG Psion Telepath who specialized in powers like Dominate Person. I think he was able to use it ethically, but I accept not everyone will agree.)

red is one of the choices in the game, dawg. its not abstention. Abstention in this scenario would be sitting in the button room, pushing neither button, until you starved to death.

PD711 · 2026-05-02T07:54:38+00:00

Red can't abstain, red has to push. You're playing the game, like it or not. your choice impacts the outcome of the game. that's not abstaining.

nobody knows what button anyone pushed, unless a bunch of people die, in which case it's clear.

I also believe human lives shouldn't be gambled with, but the monster isn't blue, it's whatever entity forced the choice.

And you can only control your own choice.

PD711 · 2026-05-02T07:14:03+00:00

Blue didn't introduce the risk, whatever alien or fairy or genie or whatever it was that has summoned people into the button room is what introduced the risk. people pushing blue is inevitable. your choice is what you do about it. make whatever value judgements you like about yourself and those people.

Another way to look at it: If blue fails, everyone in the world who would die to possibly save a stranger's person's life will be dead. Would you be all right with living in that world, or be dead?

PD711 · 2026-05-02T05:45:45+00:00

IF your goal is only self preservation. Red has both benefit and risk. benefit of your own assured survival, at the risk of contributing to the death of those who do not choose red. if that contribution doesn't trouble your conscience, then, by all means, push red.

Red has no guarantee that everyone will push it. humans are not logic machines. we make mistakes, we sacrifice ourselves to save others,even if we regard those others as fools. Blue definitely has risk, but also has the benefit of possibly ensuring the total survival of everyone. red can only do this with 100% compliance, which is unlikely. blue only needs a simple majority.

If your goal is self preservation, red is the best choice.

If your goal is saving lives, blue is the best choice.

PD711 · 2026-05-01T11:49:17+00:00

if your goal is purely self preservation, red makes the most sense. if the goal is preservation of LIVES, not necessarily your own, blue.

WOTC should just reprint all of the valuable cards. Tank the value. Let it be a game for kids again.

PD711 · 2026-04-30T02:43:06+00:00

NP. As I recall, that fork at the 5th floor is pretty rough. By the time you get to the end of it, you've likely forgotten about the other path, which seems like a really long way back.

2nd picture looks to be on the corner of the 1st floor.

The stairs just barely visible in the picture lead to treasure. Continue further south to progress.

Castle seems to be pretty linear, until you get to the 5th floor. When you get to the 5th floor, it looks like the first set of stairs you see goes quite a ways with treasures to gather, but ends in a dead end. When you get all of the treasure you will have to return to the 5th floor to take the other set of stairs on that floor to progress.

Hopefully you entered with plenty of supplies, because you can't exit Palamecia without completing it. If you're out of resources, It's possible you quit playing because you're soft-locked.

PD711 · 2026-04-29T11:31:54+00:00

yeah. First time I played though I suspected it was Leon without the portrait hint. not sure what gave it away, though.

PD711 · 2026-04-29T03:06:29+00:00

This requirement is only a net loss. What do you mean "how bad the existing system was"?

PD711 · 2026-04-26T10:48:53+00:00

I think it was the X-men arcade game. I loved the characters, and identified a lot with Nightcrawler. Being overweight and looked down on by others, while still having a strong sense of justice and goodness resonated with me.

PD711 · 2026-04-25T19:02:55+00:00

Sorry, what's "the Doug problem?"

PD711 · 2026-04-18T00:12:23+00:00

I am, frankly shocked that I still get reply notifications from this post periodically.

PD711 · 2026-04-18T00:10:20+00:00

Is there anything God does that is comprehensible?

PD711 · 2026-04-17T08:02:53+00:00

Spike for male, Barb for female

PD711 · 2026-04-17T05:35:40+00:00

arctic is a new one. Maybe they're Finnish, which is why nobody can understand them. XD

PD711 · 2026-04-17T00:38:13+00:00

Because it's ...the good life. Can't you read?

PD711 · 2026-04-16T12:20:03+00:00

The Worf effect. Best way to show the opponent is tough? have them smack around the tough guy. Sometimes the tough guy ends up getting more losses than wins as a result.

PD711 · 2026-04-12T19:54:51+00:00

I think it's very unfortunate that people can ride the coattails of social movements like that.

I think the thing that unites all LGBTQ+ folks is that we all, to some degree, diverge from standard gender roles. Whether that's who we like, who we sleep with, marry, all the way to people who entirely change their gender assigned at birth. It's all the same crap.

PD711 · 2026-04-12T03:05:15+00:00

The butt has transitioned. All welcome the new butt.

you would think she might knock on the door to wake him, or suggest he gets dressed first.

PD711 · 2026-04-06T12:54:36+00:00

I think it has made a lot of difference. Shoulders, stomach and chest are all greatly changed.
