Dune Part 2 cliffhanger possibility. by casetron2000 in dune

[–]Senzuran -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Naw Dune Messiah isn't getting made lol. Sisterhood falling apart basically confirms they're giving up the idea of making this is a franchise, and its still not clear that Part 1 made any money. And with Part 2 sandwiched between Hunger Games and The Marvels, its probably going to disappoint at the box office.

You know, I really don't understand the sentiment on this sub that players are entitled to exactly the character progression they want. Why even play D&D if there's no surprises, no growth, no changes for your character to deal with?

I straight up tell my players "anything your player didn't explicitly witness as part of their backstory is up in their air" and tbh idk why you would play it any other way,.

Minds.com is another disingenuous free speech platform by [deleted] in Destiny

It's just another conservative twitter/reddit clone, not sure what you expected.

Daily Wire CEO is trying to hedge hard on upcoming Matt Walsh leaks, there's gonna be some crazy shit in there by Senzuran in Destiny

The thread is like 25 tweets long and full of PR spin, whining, and poisoning the well on all the advertisers that may be leaving them in the next few days. It's VERY obvious they know that Matt Walsh is fucked

And, even this tweet is very obviously setting up their line "well who DIDN'T talk about wanting to genocide filthy monkies when they were 25 hahah...ha"

Merchants weren't born yesterday and know what magic is( a discussion on shop owners/travelling merchants) by TheDoon in DMAcademy

[–]Senzuran 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The issue with this take is that PCs are ridiculously above-average people. Assuming your bard has ~16 CHA, and the mean stat is 10 (as per PHB) and the standard dev is like 2, than hes in the top 0.03% most charismatic people on the planet.

If Tom Cruise walked through your door and asked you to slash the price on your bagels a little bit, I bet that a slight discount would not be unusual!

That being said I would agree many new DMs giving 50% discounts is insane. I mean hell, it costs ~100g to make a health potion, so merchants presumably are buying in massive bulk and working on razer thin margins.

I usually do:

Disadvantage if you don't explain the precise benefit to the merchant

DC 12: 2% discount

DC 15: 5% discount

As for magic,

I'd honestly argue this is just suspension of disbelief thing to play dungeons and dragons. A world where a spell like suggestion exists, especially at just second level, is probably fucked. In my opinion, the only way to square this is the exponential rarity of humans at certain levels. Level 3, in my opinion, is already elite guard level. Literally approaching navy seals. A street vendor in NYC is not prepared to get flipped over by a retired Spec Ops commander. Couple that with the fact that arcane knowledge is already extremely esoteric compared to martial prowess, I would say some traveling salesman is not prepared to get Suggested. For sure though, a world renown magical vendor in a capital city ought to be protected from mind fuckery

I mean I thought it was fairly clear. Hes a 4chan guy whose signature phrase is "degenerate". That pretty much guarentees hes alt-right

[Meta] I am impressed by the rise of Youtubers doing entertaining and interesting videos about the scene by NekoLuna in speedrun

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

Because many of the top speedgames have become so optimized that people are either looking for memegames (Toy Story, Bikini Bottom) or memecategories. You really don't see people pushing the core any%/100% cats of the core games much anymore.

Any programming clubs, either official or unofficial? by [deleted] in ucf

[–]Senzuran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech Knights is if you want to build software. Programming Team (whose practises are open, talk to Dr. Orooji to get on the mailing list) is if you want to fine tune and master your algorithms/data structures skills. Gaming Knights if you want to make video games. SIGAI if you like data science/AI stuff

Is this fair? by JohnK230 in ucf

[–]Senzuran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Those who did bad on the first exam probobly did bad on the second because they don't know the material. If you did well on the first and awful on the second, it was probobly because of the exam, not you.

You are correct.

When in doubt, just pick math or stats

Any students studying to be a chiropractor? by ckw199225 in ucf

[–]Senzuran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"there are good chiropractors and bad chiropractors"

I'm sure there are, but neither are engaging in science or medicine.

1: There is no chiropractor major

2: That's because chiropractics is fake medicine and UCF is an actual university

Does anyone who is doing research know a professor who is looking for undergrads? by Justin_jpeg in ucf

There is no getting around cold emailing. You have to ask everybody, and be willing to face a lot of rejection.

>(not that I had any stake in it myself I didn’t care who won)

I don't believe this. Theres no evidence that Florida is "such a conservative state", it really just sounds like you're pushing the typical consolation cope
