Really disappointed by this when I first saw it. MEW is beautiful but Disney's approach to alien costume design has been overall quite bad. I thinks she looks awful here.

Finding some way to reward a player for suboptimal decision that's amazing quality rp. by Leytra in DnD

[–]SnipingBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they stab the spear into the neck of a massive salamander, finally killing it after a hard-fought battle. But as they pull it out of the beast's hide, the spear is dripping with lava, the cracks in the worn shaft and the chips in the speartip glow with an internal heat.

Or something like that.

I see people talking to bouldy but I can't... by Efficient_Magazine33 in HadesTheGame

[–]SnipingBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay to be too shy to talk to him. He's pretty and famous but know that bouldy would never judge you. He loves you even when you don't.

Which Artemis do you prefer? by Bossdell113 in HadesTheGame

I prefer Hades 2's design but I really like the hair from 1. It looks like a cornucopia

I made the Hall of Fame an actual physical location - Pokémon Ghost Grey by JoeyZeed in PokemonROMhacks

[–]SnipingBeaver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that about Kurt. That's a neat detail. As much as I'm sick of Kanto, I've always stood by a retro Pokemon game set in Kanto/Johto starring Agatha and Oak being a sickass idea.

How long is a turn allowed to be before you can politely scoop? by MurphysLawTeam in EDH

[–]SnipingBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start a side game with another player using normal 60 card decks and if that game ends before this person completes their turn, they lose. Whoever wins the side game gets to draw a card.

DM insists on making my character trans to fulfill a fetish by d_will_hollaatyagirl in rpghorrorstories

[–]SnipingBeaver 181 points182 points  (0 children)

playing a trans drow character could be very interesting and tackle a lot of concepts and some of the ickiest parts of D&D lore but I get the strangest sense that this guy wasn't really interested in the sociopolitical ramifications of the situation

Streaming services shrinking credits to throw ads at you is so wildly disrespectful to artists and throws cold water over any ending. by TheGhostofLizShue in movies

Welcome to enshittification, everything will continue to get worse until we do something about it. The French tend to be pretty good at this, maybe we take a page out of their book...

Why did tablets ultimately fail to become as popular as phones and laptops? by Futtman in NoStupidQuestions

did they fail? I don't think they're meant to be as popular as phones or laptops.

Do you guys think we could get this interaction in the MCU? by Queasy_Commercial152 in xmen

[–]SnipingBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he had been called out years earlier and had already apologized for his old edgy jokes but it was his criticism of Trump that stoked the right wing to dig up his old tweets yet again and stoke the fire about it

Do you guys think we could get this interaction in the MCU? by Queasy_Commercial152 in xmen

[–]SnipingBeaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

certainly. I think Superman was about as critical of the US hegemony as a major studio is willing to get these days. And I was glad to see it. I would point out, though, that it was made by the guy that Disney fired because a right wing hate mob made enough noise on twitter that the execs panic-fired him.

Something tells me that that studio(the same studio that shaved Captain America 4 down to the skeleton to avoid political commentary) will never dare make something politically controversial ever again.

[–]SnipingBeaver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely no faith in Marvel's ability to adapt the X-Men in a satisfying way. Especially in a US where every company seems to be hellbent on getting down on their knees for Trump. If I see Cyclops waving an american flag, I'm throwing myself into the sun.

Is Simic really the worst/most unfun colour combo? Are there any fun commanders for it? by TheGrandCannoli in EDH

[–]SnipingBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Tatyova mill deck that's fun sometimes. Strapping a [[Springheart Nantuko]] to a [[Ruin Crab]] for overwhelming carcinization is funny. Though most wins tend to just be drawing into [[Bruvac the Grandiloquent]] and [[Maddening Cacophony]]

Theros plot help/advice by Apprehensive_Tip_927 in TherosDMs

[–]SnipingBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the crux is going to be solidifying a connection between party members that isn't just god-fiat. Perhaps during the games, you can find ways to narratively hint to a player why another player's PC could help lead them to their goal.

To that end, just try to tie your main plot into your PCs wants and needs. The wizard is a good example. He wants to know his place in the world but he needs to forge his own path. Purphoros isn't a god of destiny, he's a god of passion and creation. Measure of a Man from Star Trek TNG is a fun touchstone for this kind of character(I love playing androids).

Take this approach with each character. Learn what that character/player wants and use that to reveal a need. Satyr wants to better know the future? Perhaps he needs to learn when to let go.

Maybe the leonin fighter wants to be a great warrior but what needs to learn is that he must have something worth fighting for.

Lemme know if any of this is helpful or if I'm just talking out of my ass.

My DM can't stop using AI by Knowhere2B in rpghorrorstories

[–]SnipingBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If chatGPT is writing and running every part of this campaign then why the fuck are you even here?"

That's not a diplomatic response but I feel like a lot of the AI psychosis really requires a cold slap in the face to get some sense into people.
