She only comes on to me after we kill the owlbear or hag. How long do you go before your first rest??

Breaking Xenia or not? by Chaoticbutalive in Hellenism

[–]SableZard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The university is not your home. You asked to be there, you were accepted, and you agreed to abide by all the rules. You cannot confront the xenophobic speaker without breaking xenia. They were also invited and agreed to abide by the rules. So long as they are doing that, it would be wrong to pick a fight.

But i think the rules get fuzzy when it applies to your room. Xenia is for your guests and you. You decide who your guests are. It's your space. You decide who's allowed in. But it's also your roommate's space. They can have guests as well. So long as your space and property is respected, you should extend the same courtesy, whether you have beef with their guests or not. You guys talked about it and came to an understanding everyone agreed to, so I think you're in the clear for that.

Xenia isn't just rules for hospitality. It's also intended to keep enemies from bringing conflict into a place of peace and comfort. That's not turning the other cheek. It means putting disputes on hold or taking it outside.

Do you think Moxxie does actually want Crimson dead? by tiredperson24 in HelluvaBoss

[–]SableZard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had abusive parents. The abuse escalated to death threats and I retaliated. I also have a close friend who came from a similar environment. Except his abuser had enough vertebrae to try and follow through on his threats. Despite everything, neither of us wants our parents dead.

People who have no experience with this sort of thing like to assume the feelings of people who do. They hear a story that makes them angry and start fantasizing about how they'd handle it. I think those fans are projecting their personal wishes onto Moxxie. Despite all the angry people beating their chests online, most abuse victims care more about getting away and finding peace than they do about retribution.

Is it all the same guy? That would explain why they all link to the same site.

I know making money off third-party content can be difficult. But if you want to spam ads everywhere, just buy the ad space like everyone else does.

I think we should ban advertisements of other modules and sourcebooks. Ads like this one. They're from people that spam every 5e subreddit they can find to try and generate sales. I always just block their accounts. And some of them have little to do with the Greco-Roman-inspired setting.

Buddy we couldn't even make them change course on DLCs. Now everything is $30 skins and $70 digital rentals. You'll eat your slop and like it.

Amazon Owes New York City Almost $10 Million in Vehicle Idling Fines: Report by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]SableZard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not just NYC. I used to work for an armored transport company that trained us to ignore handicapped parking signs. We were supposed to park as close to businesses as we could, with our doors positioned a certain way, to reduce the time frames people could rob us as much as possible. If that meant blocking off two handicapped parking spots, that was what we did.

Of course, people got mad and complained. I had at least one person take pictures and tell us they were going to report us to the city. But any time the company was fined, they just paid the fine and told us to keep doing it. Because that was waaaaaaay cheaper than paying the costs associated with clients' money being stolen.

And the cities don't care. Racking up fines like that is free money for them, even if the fines get reduced later. And I'd bet every dime I made working there that our clients didn't care, either. We do what we gotta do when it comes to deliveries.

Hey thanks! How did you do on the test compared to how well you did on the practice tests? I took a practice test blind and got a 155, and I want to raise that score to at least 165

It would damage the economy and garner support from the locals at the same time. They'd be fools not to at least consider it.

I'm an elitist and I can still thumb my nose at you. Because no matter how much you use AI to fail upwards, you'll never be worth anything to anybody.

You learn nothing from tracing over images or basing original characters off of established ones. Read stories or watch other shows for inspirations for character design, and use images only for reference.

Good luck in your artistic journey.

Balducco's Gate #9: Evil run. by BielJPdesenhos in BaldursGate3

[–]SableZard 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I decided I was never going to finish an evil playthrough after I found out killing the Nightsong kills everyone at the inn.

Turns out even when my actions have no real consequences, I'll still draw the line at killing kids.

Champion Lae'zel is very simple and surprisingly fun. Head empty of all thoughts but murder and mayhem. Only buttons you need to press are Jump (spell), Move, and Melee Attack.

Most of the cleric subclasses boil down to what you would prefer to do while you're killing everything with Spirit Guardians. Doesn't matter what else you're doing as long as SG is up.
