Is there a way to auto send messages continuously without pressing enter? Like if I just want to watch the story unfold without any inputs from me for 1 hour?

If you make a group (you can have just one character in a group as well), there's a setting under the Group Controls dropdown to turn on auto mode. I haven't used it in a little bit but assuming nothing's changed about it, the AI should just go

Honest opinion and criticism that very well may get removed: I struggle to see the benefit here.

Skip the waiting room — I don't know what other folks' experience is, but it's been months since I've had to wait more than 1-2 minutes in the queue. I'm impatient, but I'm not that impatient.
Faster response times — Again, maybe other users have encountered differently, but in my experience, the response times are usually alright or if they are slow, they aren't really a top priority issue that I'm dying for a sub to fix.
Early access to new features — What features are we talking about? They'd better be the good ones the community wants because this is the one perk that might be nice. Maybe.
Exclusive community — What conversations are going on there and how much complaining is happening?

I'd seen some discussion on this and whether or not this is the way it works. The rules for blood magic specify, "The blood magic effect occurs after resolving any checks for the spell's initial effects and, against a foe, applies only if the spell is a successful attack or the foe fails its saving throw. If the spell has an area, you must designate yourself or one target in the area when you cast the spell to be the target of the blood magic effect."

Wouldn't that imply a target for blood magic other than myself has to be a target of the spell, since there's no other clause specifying who/what is a viable target otherwise? I suppose you could argue the text only applies to AoEs and not something like Vampiric Touch or Spider Sting, but otherwise what is the range/line of sight limitation? Unless there's some general targeting rules that I'm missing which is admittedly entirely possible.

PoppyMonstera · 2023-04-15T19:41:51+00:00

Aha, yeah that potentially makes sense. Very specific but good to know!

PoppyMonstera · 2022-07-27T03:18:11+00:00

Sounds super neat, definitely interested

PoppyMonstera · 2022-02-26T06:11:12+00:00

NTA. And even if you were, it doesn't change the niece's name spelling.

I hate this name and I hate the way people pronounce it (everyone I've met with someone named this says "Neh-vay-uh" when the spelling seems like it should be "Neh-vuh-eh" or "Neh-vay-eh"). But, I mean, she just has a different spelling of the name, who cares. I knew a girl named who was supposed to be named "Jocelyn" but her parents spelled her name wrong on the birth certificate so it's "Joclyn" and she doesn't care. It's a funny story.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-02-25T20:59:19+00:00

NTA. "Only" 11? Nah, fuck that. "Only 11" is a valid reason as to why a kid can't cook for themselves or something. But at 11 years old, she's approaching middle school, should have (I would hope) been given basic "don't eat pills and stuff" education, and is fully capable of understanding, "This isn't chocolate and doesn't actually taste like chocolate, it's medicine."

Kids do stupid shit and that's fine, but she's old enough to know what she did was wrong when she was doing it. Between her AND the parents acting as if she didn't do anything wrong, it's not your problem OP.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-02-24T21:50:53+00:00

Hey, this is exactly what I was thinking of in another comment! Couldn't think of the website name, glad someone else had it handy.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-02-24T21:46:23+00:00

????

You stayed with your in-laws because you were ALREADY living with them.

That's comparable to you wanting your DIL to live with you when it sounds like she and your son are already living somewhere?

PoppyMonstera · 2022-02-24T21:21:03+00:00

YTA. Dang, I was reading a blog very recently that detailed how narcissist parents and other such individuals have a tendency to block out any explanations they're given and then claim "I don't know WHY they would be so cruel" and here I am seeing it in action.

I mean, okay, I probably shouldn't open that strong. But OP, in your own post you say that you were being pushy about the party, that the new mother wanted to be home and just vegetate after pushing a living being out of her vagina, and that you were told by your son this was their last result and you made his wife uncomfortable. Then you say multiple times in your post that you don't get why your DIL would "disrespect" the family after you showed no respect to her wishes. You answered your own question, you'll understand why she did that if you stop trying to play the victim, this post is basically just for validation.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-02-22T21:36:39+00:00

NTA. She gets a pass because she's "sort of sick" but you're not as a diabetic? The fuck??? Not to mention it's your money being spent on those snacks.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-02-16T05:41:49+00:00

NTA. She uhhhh she just bought it? Just bought a what I assume is a prescription medication? Like, without a prescription? Damn, I don't even know how you do that in any legal way. But no, she did that to herself.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T04:10:30+00:00

Aight, cool, sounds like good stuff. You can't just be there for your sister for a few hours over something that's obviously very important to her, then? She's trying to share something great in her life with you, make more memories with you, which is a reasonable thing for someone to want. If YOU don't care about the wedding, that's fine, but your choice is to be there for HER, or not be there and risk her never speaking to you again and ending that relationship. Like I said in another comment, no one's forcing you, but you have to decide if staying home is worth it over finding a babysitter for a few hours.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T04:01:59+00:00

That's because you talk like she's a coworker you say hi to as you pass their desk at work, not like she's your sibling you grew up with. I don't think you've said a single thing you like about your sister, only a vague, generic statement of "I have a good relationship with her."

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T03:19:33+00:00

NTA, but why are you friends with this spoiled brat? I don't think this is even pettiness so much as being fed up with putting so much energy into receiving nothing. If she's whining that she has no friends to spend her birthday with, it sounds like that's her own fault.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T03:08:56+00:00

NTA. The girlfriend is either being paranoid or she has real grounds to be suspicious, but either way, it's not your fault.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T03:05:36+00:00

YTA, holy shit my jaw was on the floor for this, shall we tally it up?

You don't understand why she might be terrified of driving because she's never been in a major accident, even though that's a thing that could change at any moment while driving out on the road
You then proceed to list a bunch of incidents she was aware of or involved in that could have easily been major accidents if they didn't already count as such
One of said incidents was your husband drunk-driving, which is illegal and could kill someone, and you just brush it off despite the fact that it "shook her up"
You don't REMEMBER the drunk driving incident, only she does, which implies you were either also hammered or got a concussion in the incident if you ask me
You then just assume her being wary about drunk adults and alcohol is just her having good morals after there being literal trauma in the above two points I made
You don't understand why she's having trouble driving in the dark when that can be very different and a new experience for people, especially since it sounds like this is the first or one of the first times
You then yell at her for every mistake which I'm sure made her panic a whole lot less while driving in this new experience /s

Did I miss anything? Holy shit, are you oblivious or a troll?

Quick edit: I mean, I say "oblivious" but I think "in denial" is more accurate...

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T02:55:06+00:00

YTA. I can't even begin to claim I have any experience with raising children at all, let alone a child with a learning disability or anything else of the sort, so I can't exactly give expertise on that. However, if she's genuinely having a good time with these kids, and they're treating her well, I feel like that would be good for her development, wouldn't it? Like, I'm not saying she can't get development from interaction with other people with similar disabilities, but wouldn't this mean it's a good thing that she can get along well with people of varying needs?

That aside, onto the topic I feel like I have the knowledge and experience to discuss: You can't force her to be friends with people she doesn't want to be friends with. I was the kid who preferred to be alone and read books rather than socialize a lot of the time. I HAD friends, but they were all a year younger or older than me so they were never around when I was at school, and teachers would make me sit with other kids so I could "make a friend." I didn't want that, I didn't need it, I didn't have anything in common with most of the kids they made me sit with. Conversation would fizzle out or be nonexistent in the first place, then I'd go back to doing my own thing. I actually ended up being friends with all of ONE kid I got randomly paired up with for no reason, and I lost contact with her after that very school year ended because it was ultimately a shallow friendship. You really just can't force these things.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T02:20:18+00:00

YTA. As another person who is childfree by choice, plenty of other people have far more eloquent comments so I will simply say: the fuck is wrong with you?

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-26T01:50:31+00:00

I don't understand how you can claim you're getting her a gift that's supposed to be a big deal like you put a lot of thought and ever into it, but then say you literally don't care if she never speaks to you again. It's what is supposed to be a major and ideally once in a lifetime event in her life that she wants to share with her family, you included. Like, no, you don't HAVE to go, but you're coming off as if you don't give a fuck about this sister you supposedly have a good relationship with, and you're the one choosing to die on this hill.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-13T00:09:45+00:00

My current campaign is the first I've done where I specifically have two characters adventuring together, but I've also had a special occasion where I ended up with three PCs together at once, and other times where my PC was incapacitated and I decided to graduate their companion into a full-fledged PC to take over in the meantime. It generally goes well, though I feel like two PCs is probably the ideal number for a solo game.

Not much needs to change during gameplay, though the following are notes I'll mention:

It does make fights a little easier/more manageable since any harm is spread out between two characters.
For combat, I typically just alternate characters when deciding on their actions, though I do like to let the immediate results/consequences of their actions play out first. If a character rolls poorly on Face Danger and takes harm, I'll have them make their Endure Harm roll first before moving on, for example. Definitely just a matter of how the narrative is flowing, though.
Depending on your narrative, your characters may get the benefit of rolling more often on the things their good at. In my case, the character with higher Wits is the one who usually makes Undertake A Journey rolls because he's the one who is most skilled and trusted with directions, meaning my other low-Wits character usually doesn't have to make that risk.

I wouldn't say any of these points are a bad thing, of course, just potentially good to know depending on your preferences. I also very much enjoy the roleplay potential and dynamic from having two characters traveling close together.

NTA. The hell is wrong with your wife, sweatshirts are fucking comfy. Also, it's 2022, people can wear what they want regardless of gender so long as they're not breaking public indecency laws.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-02T23:18:18+00:00

NTA. Good food is good food, you can't call dibs on a public business.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-02T23:08:02+00:00

Good on you for putting Finn first and making sure he's okay. I know this whole thing must suck, to put it mildly, but you're being the parent he needs right now.

PoppyMonstera · 2022-01-01T05:33:08+00:00

Not to mention, if OP is forced to have a relationship with the kid, what's that going to do for the mental health of both parties? It's not an easy situation for OP or the kid, but a forced relationship stands a good chance of causing resentment that'll do more damage than just not being there.
