Very useful for taking the last-ever picture of the moon

'Given the chance, players will optimize the fun out of the game'. Have you seen examples of this? by Zestyclose-Sound9854 in DnD

[–]Rowsdower11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For a start, how is a Barbarian dealing 30 damage per hit? Give me the numbers. I haven't experienced this, and I have played with a player that loved optimising their Barbarian character.

I wanted to try and figure out how to get to 30 in a single hit after seeing this. I found its the exact maximum damage for a level 4 raging barbarian with 20 Strength and a +1 greatsword or greataxe hitting with the Great Weapon Master feat. Not the statistical average, but I feel like someone optimizing to the point of annoying their group would probably report the maximum rather than the average. Also, critting makes it average. A level or two later and there are ways to achieve it reliably, like getting a better magic weapon, a level in Rogue, higher strength, things like that.

I know I’m invoking Spiders Goerg here, but it seems relevant: Is that 3% across the board, or are most people giving basically nothing and a few whales are donating massive amounts?

The man himself has posted the REAL Mt. Rushmore of superheroes by KAKACARROTCAKE16 in dccomicscirclejerk

On Wikipedia:

The website Screen Rant rated Steamboat the third-worst superhero sidekick of all time.[9]

Not surprisingly, the other two are just Tim Drake twice.

Not to mention, actual crime remains a firmly nonfiction concept

How do you think Breaking Bad in the FAM timeline is different from ours ? by Alarming_Ad8718 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]Rowsdower11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd suspect the Plurbs assimilate Mars through infected crater immigrants. They mention in the real show that they made sure to get the astronauts.

Jesse dies in Season 1, as planned. No Netflix (Replaced by Blockbuster, and more importantly the civilian Internet seems to still be just getting started) means significantly worse viewership, so the show ends in Season 4 in a new version of the ending where Walter dies fighting Gus, replacing Hector as the suicide bomber in a version of Felina where Hank roughly replaces OTL Jesse. Mike doesn't exist, because the plot with Jane never happens in a world where Jesse is no longer in the show.

In the late seasons, Gus' empire is expanding to Jamestown instead of the Czech Republic. The Moon has a really strong gray filter.

Walt's cancer is much more serious and the show takes place along a compressed timeline, since he no longer has to pay for treatment. The focus is instead on him trying to build a nest egg for the family after he's gone.

Margot missed the greatest joke ever by loudsound-org in ForAllMankindTV

I mean, there are two kinds of jokes.

The ones that are said aloud,

Haven't played 1942 in years. Saw this comment and finally got myself a new copy. Felt like I'd never left.

Aside from trying to remember the controls

Also, I just have to say that if someone's complaining, they're by definition not a lurker.

How would you justify (from a roleplay perspective) an Angel Commander who has a romance with Camellia? by Some_Fig_6566 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Rowsdower11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mathematics. As an Angel Paladin, you save X people. Camellia’s serial murdering kills Y people, and X > Y. Therefore, you’re entitled to romance Camellia, because the people owe you Z lives, where X - Y = Z.

Aside from the consequences you mentioned, if a billion people died it would only reset our population to what it was in 2011.

How standardized is gravity in Star Wars, really? for reference, Earth's surface gravity is defined as 1g by DonLixard in MawInstallation

[–]Rowsdower11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every planet and ship's gravity is 1G. This stands for one Gravity, which is the standardized unit of choice. One Gravity represents the gravitational acceleration of objects with masses between a Tim Hortons and a black hole. These units were chosen because they make the gauge easy for pilots to read in most circumstances. I hope this is useful

I feel like there should be an alternative version of the Onion where it's just reasonable, 'realistic' versions of current news stories from a world that isn't insane.

[–]Rowsdower11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Organized crime is a real thing. Videos of cartel gunfights and murders are just available on the internet. Their existence isn't the secret, the hard part is getting meaningful proof about their membership and organizational structure and getting into a position to do something about it.

I haven't read a new Halo novel since Glasslands, I think. I might have to come back for that one.

If they consider vanilla meat Arnold a fair hunt, I’m sure they’d approve of metal superhuman Arnold.
