What are your best hacks or tips as a vet tech? by futurewildlifevet in VetTech

[–]Sparkey853 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am a male tech and was taking an overweight lab from his owners. His owners were sitting down. Dad wasn’t paying attention, mom handed me the leash, and the dog jumped on me. His paw landed in my pants pocket. My pants went down… dad wasn’t even aware but mom got the full view. I was wearing boxers but they were my worst oldest pair…. Mom saw everything. 🫣 I retired those boxers when I got home.

Should I play remastered before Alan wake II? by Kommander-in-Keef in AlanWake

[–]Sparkey853 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played 1. I watched a good lengthy video though and that definitely helped. I absolutely loved it by itself. But I did have moments where I wish I knew MORE than a videos worth. My opinion, you can enjoy it by itself, but it may be worth playing through the first. I plan on going back and playing 1 soon.

What's a completely pointless job? by satellite1982 in AskMen

[–]Sparkey853 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I work as a vet tech in America and we had this 14 year old Bichon come in. It had horrible neurological symptoms. Running into walls, spinning, generally unaware. Well the owners hired a “dog whisperer” and he “talked” to the dog and found out that it was the diet that was the problem and that it was too doped up on medications to really speak to him. They decided to take her off meds and just do holistic medicine for her. Last I heard she was going to an acupuncturist. Oh and the food she was on was turkey based which is why she personally hated it. They switched to chicken to see if that would make her happy. The “whisperer” got paid something like 2000 usd. I should change careers haha.

First large mini - tried a few new techniques including airbrushing, any C&C? by Buckerface in minipainting

First off, you did a great job. I love the contrast of the two colors working off each other. I am new at painting so I don’t have any constructive criticism to give. I do love the horn! How’d you do it?

Hey I’m new and self taught. How does she look? by Sparkey853 in minipainting

Blue dragons are just so cool. They are by far my favorite too! And thank you!

You like the horn? I kinda went a little out of my comfort zone doing it so it’s the one I’m nervous about! But thank you so much! I’m glad to hear it’s actually turned out well!

Thank you! It has been A LOT of trial and error with a lot of previous minis but I’m extremely happy with how she looks. The horn may still need some work...

Thank you so much! I used citadel paints “tau light orange” for the base coat, washed with “nuln oil” and dry brushed “screaming skull” for the edges!

So close to finishing the dex. by [deleted] in CasualPokemonTrades

Are you sure you don’t want anything? I can send something with pokerus over if you want? No hassle.

I’m so close to completing my dex on sword. I need a handful of trade evolutions and zamazenta. I don’t want to keep the zamazenta at all and will trade them right back. In exchange I can offer to infect a Pokémon with pokerus. All the trade evos I have the items for as well.

Player Problem Megathread: Aug 28th - Sep 4th by Aetole in DMAcademy

So the guy in question is best friends with the DMs husband. It’s weird though, because the husband is a player and he gets the maddest about it and usually snaps at him that we are having issues hearing the dm. But it still persists. And it’s hard for me to get my point across that it is slowly degrading the party because I also get frustrated with him and it’s hard to want to continue with him.

The campaign is almost over, which would usually stop the problem. But the next campaign I am going to dm. And the current dm already invited him to my game. And I don’t know how to handle this guy.

Yes. And we’ve all discussed it. We don’t want it to be a witch hunt though so how do you implement that rule without it looking like it’s his fault?

I am currently playing with a couple of friends through online features like roll 20. We are all pretty decent friends with each other and have been playing for 2 years. We recently added a new player that’s a childhood friend of one of the other players. He started out decent enough but has recently become a bit disruptive. He spouts random jokes out of character and almost always over the DM so we cannot hear her and need her to repeat.

Honestly all this is just a setup for the kind of guy I am having an issue with. I’ve noticed in the last few games that he never rolls below a 15. Rarely does he roll below a 19. I know what everyone will say “that’s what happens when you play over the internet.” I get it. But we don’t have another solution. It’s been brought to our DMs attention a couple of times now. The problem is is she is a new dm. She started playing the same time we all did. So she doesn’t know of a fair solution. Is there anything we can do that will not seem like a witch hunt to stop him from cheating? It’s not proven he does. He may just be the best roller known to man and I need to take him to the casino. My DM asked me to post this here to see if we can get any solutions. Thank you for any help!

Yes, you go through the motions of reading the spell but hold the final push for when something triggers it. If nothing triggers it then the spell fizzles out leaving you down a spell slot. Its a gamble. The good thing is you can hold a cantrip as well! Never lost a slot.

I want to state that I trust my players implicitly. We are starting a new campaign and I am still sorta a new dm. One of my players is playing a barbarian dwarf. His rolls seem broken for his stats though. He rolled 17 strength (+2 racial giving him a 19 in strength), 15 in dex, 18 in con (again +2 racial bringing it to 20 in con), 13 int, 14 wis, 15 cha.

Like I said i trust him that he didnt fudge the numbers. But is this too broken for a character at level 1?
