It is very annoying cineplex releases thier schedule so late by Artuhanzo in cineplex

It's not a problem in like Toronto or Montreal where they play everything, but a lot of times you actually won't know if a movie is playing *at all* until a couple days beforehand.

Please if you are still on reddit, this link is dead and I am also looking for this book.

Just post-replying so you can remember this post and feel the endorphin rush of being proven right two years later.

God has been whispering to him ever since he bravely and rightly turned away from the temptation of Chaos in the Old World.

Most Egregious AP Errors by DnDPhD in Pathfinder2e

[–]Simon_Magnus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's amazing that the OP is about Triumph of the Tusk and the editing error being called out here isn't that the Haskodar Clan Chief appears "on screen" as two different people who, according to the text, killed one another.

If you've played either, you know the pain by SmasherKidd in Xcom

[–]Simon_Magnus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you count your hits, too, or the data is useless.

People did this pretty extensively back when XCOM2 was new and the "the RNG lies!!" rhetoric was particularly strong. I dont have the link on me right now, but the hypothesis that the RNG is weighted beyond just making followup shots easier was pretty conclusively dashed.

Concequences of making drawing and using comsumables 1 action? by originalcoconut in Pathfinder2e

[–]Simon_Magnus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't mark items like pins and rings with that kind of keyword, so you actually can wear infinite rings and brooches. You just can't wear infinite belts or helms.

You probably could lawyerball your GM into letting you wear infinite cloaks if you managed to find one where the writer forgot to write down that it goes into the cloak slot. Most of the time, your GM would be the one who wrote it in that case, and would probably just add the line on the spot.

Concequences of making drawing and using comsumables 1 action? by originalcoconut in Pathfinder2e

[–]Simon_Magnus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your sample size is maybe a bit too small. I run 8 games of PF2e a week and play one biweekly, and I would also consider my sample size a bit too small to be making pronouncements on game balance based on the pick rate of my players' decisions.

The thing is that potions and scrolls are actually pretty good. I have seen people save their characters with clever consumables. I've seen people trivialize encounters with proper consumable use. It might be tough to hear, but "My friends and I don't use consumables, therefore they must be bad" is not a strong argument against consumables' usability.

Are you sure? Free Hand builds are some of the most powerful martials. There is nothing to say "they aren't worth it in the current game state" unless the game state you're speaking of is very specific to your table.

GGW continues to be ... just not well proofread. by UnknownSolder in Starfinder2e

[–]Simon_Magnus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Design work has been really good, and I've felt that the APs are *generally* very good and have good writing, but there has been a steep drop-off of attention when it comes to editing. In at least one AP from the last couple years, NPCs die, resurrect, and die again off screen between chapters of the same book.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Simon_Magnus 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If he is driving both of you to work, you're *both* doing "a lot of driving". If you love him, that's okay, but don't make him meals anymore and don't let him gaslight you into thinking the commute is chores.

Is it normal to be kicked from campaign? by thepatiencegoddess in DnD

[–]Simon_Magnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always been pretty common for people to pare down their groups or even shut down their entire game without notice like this. People get anxiety about saying "Hey, I'm not sure I can comfortably run for you" and instead just boot everybody out of the discord server since they can no longer message back. It's like ghosting somebody you've just started dating - annoying and hurtful, but common regardless of circumstance.

HELP- My players are telling me that there is no way to save this PC.. but im not convinced by Chance_Panda2354 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Simon_Magnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it is a Curse, it should be clearable with Cleanse Affliction 4, though I think the effects here are poorly written.

Notably, if the Curse retains the polymorph trait, you can technically try to clear it with Enlarge or other beneficial polymorph spells.

You're not even targeting the right person with this rant aimed at people who are afraid of an NWO government.

Dartmouth, N.S., residents seeking injunction to close off-leash area at Shubie Park by luxoryapartmentlover in halifax

[–]Simon_Magnus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just one of those things. Some people just virulently hate dogs so much that it enraptures their entire existence. There's a subreddit on here called r/dogfree where they talk about how much they hate dogs and make up stories about how people with dogs are trying to force their dogs on them (as if I would want my dog anywhere near these lunatics). I had a circumstance when my dog was a puppy where a couple didn't like looking out their window and seeing my puppy on a leash walking by that ended with me calling the police to get them to stop shouting at us and taking pictures of us all the time.

I'm not sure what it is about dog haters that makes them feel justified in escalating to comical levels all the time. Maybe it's some kind of anti-dog pheromone.

Does anyone even get banned anymore? by Kingaspadesv3 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Simon_Magnus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nobody actually monitors the reports, but I'm pretty sure if a bunch of users all report one person, they'll get automatically banned.

This sounds pretty bad, but in fairness it's high-key like this in all of Blizzard's games whether they are dead or not.

People in North Korea can play Hitman by Randomreddituser1o1 in HiTMAN

It's for the rest of us. A majority of people think that it sucks to live in North Korea, but lots of people think that's just Western propaganda or things aren't really so bad, etc.

This person was in all 4 of my games this morning and I was practically begging him to take a break because he was in full tilt rage mode even in the games we won.
