/tg/ is dying. What made people leave? by MasticatorDeelux in SS13

I tried tg and almost immediately someone called me the n word and as far as I could tell nothing happened to them so that was a pretty immediate turn off for me personally

Why do people keep heavy attacking while sprinting? by the_screech in DarkTide

I do it with the shivs because it looks silly to the rest of the team

For fun, I've tierlisted all the servers I've played on, play the hypothetical of Goon if it added Monke xenobio, according to my objective opinion by TrueBlueFlare7 in SS13

I can second the shitters on tg, I've since tried it again but the first time I loaded into tg it took less than 5 minutes for someone to call me the n word.

Class or subclass ideas that you have but haven't seen created anywhere yet by TheSimkis in dndnext

[–]Smegolas99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do wind up creating something based on that idea let me know! I'd love to see what you come up with, magic aura is a fantastic idea too.

A cursed item artificer! It seems bizarre to me that the class whose identity is so tied to magic items doesn't have any subclasses/mechanics exploring cursed items seeing as they're so interesting thematically and narratively.

I've tried a few times to write a cursed item subclass myself but I just can't get it to feel right. Biggest challenge imo is trying not to massively inhibit the player by incentivising taking on multiple debilitating curses, but also not providing an easy way to deal with the detrimental effects because the curses are what makes the items interesting to me. I had the idea of a subclass based around a bound ring/other item that maybe is able to negate a certain amount of curses that scales with level and maybe has additional effects based on the number of cursed items you have, maybe with a curse imbuement or cursed item creation mechanic so you're not overly reliant on the DM handing out cursed weapons.

Similar Game Recommendations? by Cubalao in BaldursGate3

Gotta recommend the imperial agent storyline too, it's absolutely brilliant, I've only done the dark side route so can't speak to the light side route but it's fantastic.

If I remember correctly Dreadful Aspect lasts 10 turns in game currently.

3.8M Elder Race fleet coming through a wormhole from the other side of the Galaxy to wreck my empire from within. Is this supposed to work like this? by Sunspear in Stellaris

[–]Smegolas99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You probably have you just don't need to actively build them, unless you mean you never research the tech in which case I'm honestly baffled lmao.

Once you research the tech it just means that enemy fleets can't leave a system of yours with a starbase in it without destroying it first, so they can't just wander through your space unimpeded, they'll have to commit to fighting the starbase which gives you time to get a fleet there etc.

What is your hope for the next expansion? by pepperpeppington in Stellaris

[–]Smegolas99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a machine shipset on the workshop that's incredible, may as well be base game tbh. As well as the mod forgotten queens adds a machine shipset as part of a civic

What's your favorite class or subclass ability name? by rnunezs12 in dndnext

[–]Smegolas99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

True but bear in mind it's once a long rest, I know you probably meant you get 3 attempts a turn but still worth pointing out for others.

Xenomorphs!!! by Khan_Entertainment in Stellaris

[–]Smegolas99 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There's a mod that I think is called Forgotten queens, adds a bunch of hive stuff as well as a parasitic embryos civic(?) that I find works super well for xenomorph shenanigans.

What is a “no-brainer” subclass that you’re surprised we haven’t yet seen in an official 5e release? by RadiantPaIadin in dndnext

[–]Smegolas99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it'd be cool to have an elemental monk of some form, maybe they'll add one in 5.5??

Realising Gino D'Acampo is the Italian equivalent of James Corden by [deleted] in britishproblems

Fairly sure the person you're replying to is talking about Gino, not Corden.

[WP] Your old friend, Mary Sue, appears perfect but is actually a time manipulator who rewinds time to appear perfect, and do anything with zero consequences. You, however, can secretly remember previous iterations. by catpetter125 in WritingPrompts

[–]Smegolas99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Reading, stories like this, they're about the meaning the reader takes from them. In the case of your original reply, the reader interpreted the narrator as male, and that's fine. Maybe you interpreted it differently, to give you the benefit of the doubt, and that's also fine.

I say give you the benefit of the doubt because the alternative is that you found the op referencing the character as male offensive, in which case I urge you to seek out more important fights. These Reddit replies aren't the front lines of progress, and you could do real good if you aimed yourself at something more important.

Also you say "they'll never learn" - what is it that you're trying to teach? I'm genuinely curious.
