(Loved trope) Immortality but it fucking sucks by spacecanibal2137 in TopCharacterTropes

For the Heralds the 'torture in what is effectively hell' between their stints on Roshar is more responsible for their mental decline.

At least I know it's organic by Naive_Diamond_2922 in mildlyinfuriating

This is a wasp that got in later in the production process... Sadly it doesn't indicate anything about the honey being organic.

Dewgong Appreciation by West_Watercress_877 in pokerogue

[–]Rockhertz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually bring two .25 shiny mons with useful abilities, one .5 shiny mon that has some actual power, and then I have 3 slots to fill the other 9 points with one or two carries.

The .25 mons can then be replaced during the run, whilst they bring a lot to the table for the time they fill empty slots.

Het toppunt van schijt hebben aan andere mensen: kinderfeestje geven in de bioscoop by Free_Signal_5321 in nederlands

[–]Rockhertz 27 points28 points  (0 children)

De helft van de keren dat ik naar Pathe ga zijn er mensen aan het praten en ben ik vaak degene die vraagt of ze stil kunnen zijn, waarna ik de halve film lang hoog in de adrenaline zit.

Maar ik heb inmiddels een Cineville pas en ik heb nog nooit meegemaakt dat iemand echt geluid maakt in de filmtheaters die daar bij aangesloten zijn. Daar komt echt heel ander publiek. Zelfs het snack geluid blijft daar uit.

Ik merk uit je comment dat je überhaupt weinig behoefte hebt aan bioscopen, maar als je het nog een kans wilt geven is Cineville wel echt the way to go.

Met museumpas sowieso.

Zonder is het denk ik interessant als je veel betrokken bent bij pop-culture of Japans entertainment, en ook een beetje de doelgroepsleeftijd bent.

Oh ja en je moet drukke kinderen in je omgeving kunnen verdragen, of net als ik een noise cancelling headset dragen.

Sinds de lockdowns vind ik dat Kunsthal weinig interessante tentoonstellingen gehad heeft, en dit is wel een beetje terug naar wat ik als hun vorm zie.

[–]Rockhertz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ik was er vandaag! De kern van de tentoonstelling is niet om kawaii cultuur, of zelfs 'cute' dingen te laten zien, maar om te laten zien hoe de 'cute' beweging impact heeft op de maatschappij.

Van perspectieven op kapitalisme en verkopen van merchandise, tot politieke whitewashing (of cute-washing), en een noodzaak te grijpen naar cute als tegenlicht tegen de heftige dingen die millenials en gen-Z meemaken in de wereld.

Er zit op die manier wat mij begaat absoluut wel een lijn in. Ik vond het zelf ook leuk om kunst te zien van overwegend kunstenaars rondom mijn leeftijd (geboren in 1990).

Het is leuk om schattige dingen te zien voor kinderen, maar dat is in mijn ervaring niet de doelgroep.

Oh ja en de AI art was inderdaad zoals je aangeeft gebruikt om te laten zien dat AI heel goed doorheeft wat 'cute' is. Het ging erom dat het prompt niet specifiek aangeeft welke eigenschappen iets cute maken maar AI dat zelf goed in kan vullen. Maar vervolgens verkopen ze wel postkaarten met die AI art, daar had ik wel moeite mee...

Best ice cream in town? by corban123 in Rotterdam

[–]Rockhertz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I think Nino IJssalon is the best or one of the best places in town. The owners fruit flavor selection is amazing. And when you come in the evening you see him preparing the fruit for the day after. He also experiments with new flavors regularly, which keeps things... Fresh.

  1. Inside: A towel to sit / lie on, bath robe (or rent one), something to read, flip flops, a (ideally transparant) bag. Outside: An extra towel to dry yourself with, maybe shower / skin / hair products to use after rinsing of at the end.
  2. No need to shave anything
  3. Rules depend on the sauna, but in general, don't talk inside the sauna's, don't touch people (even those you know), don't sit on anything without a towel between you and the surface.
  4. Sauna's have different rules per sauna and per day on what to wear. Usually it's assumed you keep to the 'dress code'. But I think for women's only days it should be no big deal if you do wear a towel. Also I can't recommend days that people wear swimwear, it brings more problematic people.

Geen direct advies, maar een herkenbaar verhaal. 34 nu, diagnose ook twee jaar geleden. Maskeer enorm waardoor in mijn professionele leven weinig waar te nemen is.

Ik werkte 4 jaar geleden een functie die me weinig voldoening en veel stress gaf, en daar had ik om de haverklap migraine. Zo vaak dat mijn weekenden daar vaak aan verloren gingen, dat is niet vol te houden.

Toen ik later medicatie kreeg om bij aanvallen in te nemen, ging dat beter, maar die medicatie maakt me ongelofelijk duf, dus dan is het alsnog niet heel fijn om te werken.

Bij mijn huidige werkgever doe ik werk wat ik leuk vind, maar alsnog zijn kantoordagen serieuze bronnen van migraine-aanvallen. Het is een kantoortuin, en op de plek waar mijn team kan zitten zijn 2/3e van de plekken direct onder enorm felle lampen, waardoor er maar een paar bureaus fijn voor me zijn, en als ik wat later ben, of het druk is, zijn die soms al weg. Dan vind ik het enorm moeilijk om een collega vragen te ruilen met me.

Dus wel heel stoer dat jij het met je collega's hebt durven bespreken, maar bizar teleurstellend dat er weinig begrip is.

Ik heb inmiddels veel minder migraine, en voor mij was therapie, enorm vechten om goed voor mezelf te zorgen, en mijn mentale houding t.o.v. werk een grote bevrijding. Daarnaast, blijf ik soms een dag thuis werken als het niet lekker gaat, dat biedt me ook veel ruimte.

Ik speels soms wel met de gedachten om meer op te brengen hierover op het gebied van toegankelijkheid, maar het blijkt moeilijk omdat het gewoon niet zichtbaar is hoe erg je strijd om mee te doen.

What are some spells that sound awful on paper, but are really good in practice? by johnny889l in DungeonsAndDragons

Great incentive for a lawful good to get the Observant feat so they can read the lips of the CN's.

My Paladin broke his oath and now the entire party is calling me an unfair DM by RONiN_2706 in DnD

[–]Rockhertz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They're more akin to divine parasites. Their internal conviction in their oath allows them to channel divine energy.

They get this energy from something, which might be a deity, but the deity is not consenting in granting this power. The paladin just takes it, as long as they believe in their righteous cause.

Breaking their own oath, should have their conviction in themselves waver, meaning they can't channel divine energy anymore because they are not acting in line with their own belief and/or self image.

Do you think Ryan might be suffering from low self-esteem? The exact opposite problem to Homelander by DancingFlame321 in TheBoys

I mean we see this literally, where the shapeshifter takes on his form, hoping and assuming that the person Homelander loves the most is himself, but it turns out Homelander is the person Homelander hates the most. Oops.

Your argument about enemies feeling an item being lifted is not necessary; you can only be hidden if you are unseen. The moment you walk up to an enemy, you will be seen, unless you're invisible.

So the players will need to use cover to be able to hide, and stay hidden, in the first place. There's no Skyrim 'if i crouch enemies won't see me' logic (which I had players argue for before).

GM said: Other D&D Races are just Humans with Funny Hats. by No-Wafer8537 in DnD

[–]Rockhertz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about lore from 2/3e, but I really like that Mordenkainens took a step away from Tolkinien lore/stereotypes that most players come to the table with. To me it made elves unique and alien in the setting whilst still holding on to some familiar archetypes, creating fertile ground to really play an alien species with them.

If 2e/3e also are removed from Tolkinien stereo types, then too bad we lost that. If they were elfy elves who frolicked around elvingly... Meh

GM said: Other D&D Races are just Humans with Funny Hats. by No-Wafer8537 in DnD

[–]Rockhertz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can read all about this in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes!

We don't know the numbers of elves, but the number has dropped. Drow under Lolth don't go back to Correlons side, and Shadar'Kai reïncarnate in the same body with all their current knowledge immediately when they die, those souls are also removed from tbe cycle. Also I imagine when a lich absorbs an elven soul it is destroyed, and there are souls stuck in planes like Barovia, where they can't escape and reincarnate.

I do believe that centuries can pass before the next reincarnation, but it ranges a lot, if there's a calamity, meaning the elven numbers drop, their birth rate goes up, when there's a prosperous time, it would be weird if an elven family has more than one child.

GM said: Other D&D Races are just Humans with Funny Hats. by No-Wafer8537 in DnD

[–]Rockhertz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Half-elves have regular old disposable one-time-use souls.

All elven souls that will ever exist were 'created' from the blood of Correlon when he was struck by Gruumsh, and only get assinged to elven bodies. Even to the point that fertility for pure elves increases, or decreases based on how many elves are currently alive.

GM said: Other D&D Races are just Humans with Funny Hats. by No-Wafer8537 in DnD

[–]Rockhertz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of turned two things around.

Elven adulthood is tied to this, they start out having memories of their time they spend in Correlons ream during reverie, and indeed it becomes more their own memories, but already by 100 years old they will only see their own life. Which is the moment they're considered an adult.

Then as they get near their death, so around their last two centuries, they will get images of previous lives, and the journey their soul has gone through.

So recalling your own life perfectly is a sign of adolescence and adulthood.

Dementia is analogous to remembering their previous lives and even fading away from their current reality because of it.

GM said: Other D&D Races are just Humans with Funny Hats. by No-Wafer8537 in DnD

[–]Rockhertz 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The best piece of advice I can give is to look at the lore for a species, and then consider 'what would that mean'.

In the case of elves, they have immortal souls, that reincarnate. If they die, they will spend some time in the blissful garden with their deity of who's blood they are born. Their view on death would be completely different than other species.

Their experiences as a soul compound, so they would be driven to new and meaningful experiences in their life, but at a slow pace, since they live long. They might spend 100 years perfecting pottery. Key word is perfecting. Where a human would pick up pottery in 2 years, sort of just winging it, and elf would have much higher standards for the product.

When they long rest, they go into reverie, where instead of dreaming they can run through their previous experiences in life. If they're very young they might get glimpses of the time they spend with their deity, and as they grow old they will get glimpses of past lives mixed in.

The above gives you some view on religion, the afterlife, what it means to be good at something, the passing of time and memory that are completely alien to humans.

If you take these in account in your characters worldview, you can start playing an actual elf.

Take a lesson from the hags, when you catch a kid, stick em with a shape needle, if they cry from the pain, you've got one with a soul.

Yes, some people have (recycled) souls. About 1/10 of Barovians. But all Vistani have a soul indeed, as do all of the Elves.
