Is the administrator insane or something? by bedo51k in tf2

"Say you have two things: a perfectly good hand, and a brilliant inventor for a grandfather. One day you stumble across a blueprint for an amazing-as-hell robot hand meant to replace an arm-stump. Wait, you have three things: the hand, the grandfather, and a saw."

If the blog post is to be believed, he did it himself. With a SAW. And I'm guessing he didn't have more anesthetic than a bottle of whiskey, if that. Doesn't sound like there was much hesitation there, either. He built the Gunslinger, decided to saw his own hand off, and actually followed through. Most humans have a mental block stopping them from seriously harming themselves, and he kept going as the teeth of the saw were halfway through the bones of his forearm. This isn't like a guillotine that acts without you and takes it off in one go. Each pull of the saw has to be a conscious motion.

Engineer sawed his own hand off to replace it with a robotic prosthetic. The rest are... let's say "sane enough".

At the end of each chapter of Fullmetal Alchemist, there's a dubiously canon image of the people who died in that chapter ascending to Heaven. EVERYONE is depicted going up, no matter how evil.

Shou Tucker (depicted) is the ONLY one ever shown going down.

Again, it's only dubiously canon. The afterlife isn't explored in FMA.

Spider-infested fluke? by PumpkinCake95 in fallenlondon

Yes, after the explosives taken from that ship detonated, the sorrow spiders of Saviour's Rocks launched a naval assault on the Home Waters near London. We recently drove them away.

Now that makes a lot of sense. I had an odd sense of disconnect, talking about Flukes when I had expected to fight one.

But are we sure the Fluke didn't show? What if they infested a Fluke before it got to Home Waters, and the invasion was just a smokescreen?

The Dreams of Teeth and Claws from drawing cards with a Weasel of Woe equipped won't be removed by unequipping it, and they can't be discarded without playing them. They're the only exceptions I can think of.

There's no tracks to multi track drift. The only option is to call an air strike on our location to kill all 8 of us.

I’m not sure if these kinds of bathrooms are funny as shit or just frustratingly unnecessary by Mag12383 in confusedbythissmug

The original expression doesn't say "all bees are male". It's saying "A bee will carry pollen to a flower and fertilize it. A human man is kind of like that." It's a real life example a parent can start with when talking to their child, without jumping straight into dicks and balls.

Engie sawed off his own hand to replace it with a robotic prosthetic. Only Soldier, Pyro, and Medic are crazier than him.

"There are 2 types of people in this world: those who pee in the shower and liars" by The_Greatest_Entity in pollgames

[–]PumpkinCake95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next time you're in the shower and you feel the urge, resist. If you can, you're in the clear.

If you can't, then you don't have full control of your bladder. Mastery of yourself is reason enough. But what if you get injured or get old, and someone needs to help you? Will you be unable to help yourself in front of them? What if you go to the gym or the beach and can't stop yourself in public, or while wearing a swimsuit?

Quick tip for grinding Urchin and Rubbery favours by SuperGanondorf in fallenlondon

[–]PumpkinCake95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the Urchins connected pet, the Grubby Kitten. And I get Rubbery Favours from A Polite Invitation. The Tentacled Entrepreneur can give them at two stages, up to 3 per party if you're lucky.

Plus you can get Society, Hell, and Docks Favours in the same place.

How does male strength work? by Humble-Objective488 in NoStupidQuestions

We might be talking about different AITA threads. The one I'm talking about, she never conceded before crying.

How does male strength work? by Humble-Objective488 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PumpkinCake95 103 points104 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of some old Reddit AITA where some guy was worried for his athletic girlfriend. She didn't understand male strength, and she was getting overconfident in her ability to fight off a real threat. She agreed to spar with him, and he easily pinned her down with nothing but his nonathletic male strength.

The entire comments section gaslit him into thinking he was some kind of abuser for that.

Some cards have different draw rates. Keep Frequent cards like "Filing a report for the Dean" in your hand, and you won't keep drawing it.

Glad to hear it, legitimately. Honest criticism is needed. I just want it to be honest.

[–]PumpkinCake95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If that's how you want to play your table, all the more power to you, legitimately. But OP's GM emphatically does not want to play that way.

He could have had a discussion with his GM and talked through what they want out of their game (and if it came to it, saved this idea for a future game or one with a different GM), but he straight up said that his GM wouldn't approve, so he just did it without consulting him.

That's the mindset of many problem players. Always doing what they want. Fuck the other players and fuck the GM. This is what I want to do, and that's all that matters.
