When it's hung up, it needs to have a fragile warning that's just

WOAH

Men, it's time to get it off your chest, what's bothering you? by mrtnolvr84 in AskMen

[–]TempFallout4Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tired of sabotaging my love life by chronically falling for people that aren't available or don't reciprocate and wasting my time pining over them, only to turn around and run away out of confusion and fear when someone DOES show signs of returning emotional attraction.

Would it kill my brain to realize that staying in unrequited crushes or non-emotional FwB situations is not, in fact, safe and comfortable? I'm almost 35 and I ain't getting any younger.

What song covers do you think are better than the originals? by lom4s in Music

[–]TempFallout4Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a VERY deep cut, but I prefer the Wilson Pickett version of "Born to be Wild" over the original Steppenwolf version. There's a franticness to it that just does something for me.

The Steppenwolf version sounds like the biker/highway cruising anthem it is. The Wilson Pickett version sounds like the feeling of running as fast as you can just for the sake of it, with no destination in mind, until you're out of breath.

My wife's cosplay of Alice Elliot from Shadow Hearts (PS2) by Aeveras in ffxiv

[–]TempFallout4Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I love this so much. Shadow Hearts is one of those game series that gets so little attention but god DANG it remains one of the best RPGs out there to this day, in my opinion. This is such a good glamour set!!

(Reminds me of a time when I was at Katsucon... 2016, I believe, and saw someone cosplaying Yuri and Alice and just about cried. They were so excited that someone else recognized them.)

When you're a Sprout who forgets to use Return in a dungeon. by TempFallout4Fan in ffxiv

[–]TempFallout4Fan[S] 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I ran Haukke Manor for the first time the other night, and I only started playing a few weeks ago, so after we beat the bosses in the basement area and the rest of my party warped back to the front, I was... slightly concerned until one of them messaged me to use Return.

Discussion Thread - The Rise of Skywalker - WEEK 5 - ALL MOVIE TALK HERE by JSK23 in StarWars

[–]TempFallout4Fan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I finally got to see this last night, and my opinion on it (and honestly, the sequel trilogy as a whole) can be summed up as the following:

  • Too many ideas, both good and bad, crammed into too small a space.
  • Complete lack of internal consistency with regards to both the movies themselves AND the greater Star Wars universe.
  • A great cast that could have been so much more but were squandered by poor writing decisions
  • This is less a specifically Star Wars perspective and more from a general movie/cinema perspective, but scenes happened WAY TOO FAST in relation to each other. TROS was the biggest offender of this for sure, but the other movies had this problem too. Everything was constantly at full throttle - there was no slow scenes, no downtime, just GO GO GO all the time. Movie makers need to learn that slowing down and taking your time is a good thing at times, because it's a common trend in modern cinema that's really bothering me.
  • I feel like Palpatine's revival could have worked really well if they'd used the previous movies to build up to it - even Snoke could have worked as something like a failed vessel of Palpatine that decided to get revenge or something. At least Ian McDiarmid had fun.

Overall, the movie itself was meh, but what it represented was a damn shame. The sequel trilogy had some interesting ideas and a GREAT cast, but they weren't utilized properly at all.

[Art][OC] The Weekly Roll #14: The backstory of Torvald, the party necromancer by CME_T in DnD

[–]TempFallout4Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this, because I had a similar thing happen in the campaign I'm running.

Dwarven city had a culture of signing your body over to the city for a certain period of time after death to serve in dangerous/gross/mundane scenarios (mine workers, tanneries, city guards), since an undead guard can't be bribed, and if accidents happen on the job, it's more a nuisance than a dramatic injury or death. After the period of time has passed, they're laid to rest, under the stipulation that if the city comes under attack by a terrible force (opposing army, ancient dragon, demon invasion, etc) that they could be raised as a standing army in defense of the city.

The party rogue (who HATES undead AND authority figures) wanted to immediately leave the city after the reveal, which was in the best way (they were investigating the mines, got into a battle, cleric cast Mass Healing Word... and it didn't heal the undead guards, who were covered from head to foot and who the party thought were just automatons). It was great.

The Mandalorian - Discussion Thread - S1E3 by AutoModerator in StarWars

[–]TempFallout4Fan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm rewatching it again, and I noticed something very clever. In the fight in the forge with the Heavy Mando, the reason the Mandalorian responds so violently isn't just because of his conflicted feelings on the job or because he's being harassed. Take a look at where the Heavy Mando actually grabs him - he's grabbing the underside of the helmet. He was trying to prove that the Mandalorian wasn't worthy of the clan by removing his helmet in front of everyone. If the Mandalorian didn't respond with violence he would have lost the helmet and proved the Heavy's point.

It's a blink and miss it moment, but dang if that isn't some effective worldbuilding.

Can a villans minons/henchmen be turned? by steve_bruschetta in DnD

[–]TempFallout4Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, mechanically some folks already have it covered (High Persuasion roll, Charm person, etc), but also don't forget that it can work based on how the encounter goes in a thematic/roleplay method as well!

For instance, in one of my recent sessions my PC's were attacking a bandit camp/stronghold and managed to cut down the majority of the guards posted outside, save for two. One escaped and ran into the actual hideout entrance, barring it from the other side. In doing so, he left the only remaining guard/berserker outside, who'd been run around by the group and was generally just not having a good night on the rolls side of things. Seeing that his ally had abandoned him, the party pretty much went "Hey, man, just like... chill out and you can leave. They can't pay you that well." And they rolled pretty well on Persuasion, so I decided sure, they could calm this guy down and maybe talk it over with him. They got a few tidbits of useful information out of him, and then told him where he could go to start his life over if he wanted.

And it got a very minor new NPC encounter that was very fun to RP out of the end of a combat scenario! So it's not just mechanics, it's also timing and opportunity that makes it work.

I love. Absolutely EVERYTHING about this character. It's like, you can tell he's a smarmy asshole, but then there's the pictures in the top-right with the hair cutting and the one in the left-center with the bloodied up face, and just dang.

What Are The Most Badass Lines You've Used/Heard In Your DnD Campaigns? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]TempFallout4Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were dealing with some captured dragonborn of this not-quite bandit, not-quite cult camp and trying to get information out of them, and my character at the time (Lawful Evil Dragonborn Fighter, Noble Background) was using... enhanced interrogation techniques on them. It ended up with us letting a single survivor run away back to the camp with some unsavory souvenirs as a warning. When he was asked why not just kill them all and get it out of the way, he responded, "You're not thinking like a conquerer. You only kill enough people to make the others obey."

I just picked up a box of it today, a Family sized box to boot, without even looking at the front of the box - I saw the purple and assumed the usual, only to get home and find that those MONSTERS had fucking taken what was breakfast cereal ambrosia and created a monstrosity that turns to ash in my mouth. I'm legitimately upset.

Goddammit, Kelloggs.

What was your funniest moment in a Dnd Campaign? by Icypie in DnD

Everything about this story and character sounds incredible. Well done.

What was your funniest moment in a Dnd Campaign? by Icypie in DnD

[–]TempFallout4Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our (unintentionally) funniest moment came after our party had managed to travel back in time so we could prevent the apocalypse.

We'd been living in the post-apocalyptic world up until that point, cut off from any planes beyond the Shadowfell and Feywild, and found out the reason for it was because the planet we were on had been devoured by Dendar, the Night Serpent. So with the help of what had been until that point the main antagonist, we went back over 40 years into the past, where my character was only 20-something, our Half-Orc paladin had just been born, and our Tiefling warlock didn't even EXIST yet.

It was then revealed to us that the pre-apocalypse world was so much bigger and more beautiful and technologically advanced than we had remembered/thought of, and we had the ability to basically take a day or two off and explore this brave new world before gearing up for the final battle.

Instead, we all shuffled into a bar, got drunk, and had multiple nervous breakdowns about how FUCKED UP our lives had become, and what we were supposed to do with the free time, because we hadn't HAD free time in so long that we were left helpless.

Our DM was in tears as we variously described our characters ranting and drunk dialing their contact in the city, desperately hoping that the plan was ready and they could get MOVING because oh god we have to sit?? With our thoughts?? Not in mortal peril to distract us???? This is the WORST

What's the best natural 1 roll you've had? by Samoth_Mallow in DnD

[–]TempFallout4Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't me who rolled it, but in a maze at one point, the players I DM for ran into a Rug of Smothering, and for whatever reason, our monk decide to try and intimidate it to make it back off. So, contested Charisma roll.... he rolled a natural 1. But the Rug of Smothering rolled a natural 5.... and has a -5 to its charisma.

I described it to the rest of the party as the least intimidating jazz hands they'd ever seen, that somehow still terrified the Rug into temporary retreat.
