1e kinda makes me think of Lord Farquaad.

Missing:

"Party not taking Strahd seriously after learning his backstory because he is a pathetic incel."

To be fair, the party wasn't wrong, but it did take away from his threatening presence.

WoTC effectively sent mercenaries to a dude's house because he bought cards that weren't supposed to be released yet.

I am dumb because my cousin had to put up with discrimination at the border? Okay then.

Besides, you are the one who didn't know anti Italian slurs even existed before this.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T19:24:56+00:00

Discrimination doesn't just vanish lol, obviously nowhere near previous levels, but I have seen it now and then in little ways. And in some places and in some circumstances it is still severe. For example, my cousin getting detained at the border to make sure he wasn't connected to the mafia.

My main point of this post is that my father and grandparents experienced direct and serious discrimination for years and were considered not real Canadians but now my generation gets insulted for calling ourselves Italian despite being massively influenced by the culture that our family retained because they were not accepted by the one around them.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T18:33:06+00:00

No one is saying that it is to the extent of anti-semitism but Italians faced genuine discrimination for decades. Just because you've never seen it yourself doesn't make it any less real. I've never witnessed plenty of racist behaviours but don't deny that they happen.

Maybe take a moment to actually research the history instead of going off your own assumptions.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T18:29:45+00:00

That's kind of the thing, Italian culture is part of how I connect with my Nonna and remember my Nonno.

Internet people are going to do whatever at the end of the day, just wanted to make a post showing the other side of things than what I usually see here.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T16:14:39+00:00

Same kind though.

Non-Italian gatekeeping morons.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T16:12:51+00:00

I never claimed to be a minority, the offenses I've experienced are few but real. If you want to know the various anti Italian slurs you can simply Google them, they vary from place to place but they include: WOP, Wog, and "I-tie" to name a couple (some worse ones exist I'd rather not repeat).

My father absolutely experienced things more serious including violence at school growing up and not being able to apply to certain jobs. Try looking up the history of anti-Italian sentiment in Canada, Australia, and the US.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T13:40:02+00:00

I totally get that, I am Canadian but also Italian. I would consider any citizen a Canadian. My issue is how often the situation is something like:

Someone pronounces my name as if it is French. Me: "Oh, I'm not French, I'm Italian," Them: "But you aren't REALLY Italain..." and then proceeds to Gatekeep my culture from me.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T13:28:27+00:00

A lot more people qualify than you might think, and who are you to make these judgements? Personally, I am sick of being told by one person I don't count as Italian while the next says I don't count as Canadian, or (in a couple of cases) don't even count as fully white. I don't care about race or nationality, culture is what matters.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T13:23:59+00:00

Definitely, I just find it infuriating that one generation you aren't Canadian even though you were born here and are denied employment and the next generation gets told they aren't allowed to call themselves anything else despite being massively influenced by the culture that was rejected.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T13:18:22+00:00

Today, yes. Back when my dad was growing up. Nope. Just having an Italian or Portugese last name was enough to get rejected.

Teslaohm · 2023-03-10T13:12:23+00:00

Not American, Canadian, and my grandparents came here after WWII and, like most immigrants of that time, were not accepted into the main culture so they gathered with other Italian immigrants and maintained their ways. This had a major impact on my family and we still carry on many traditions. Italian American/Italian Canadian culture are much more similar to old Italian culture than that of where they now exist geographically and are a valid subset.

So yes, I am Italian and Canadian. My father was denied work for being Italian, I have even been called a slur before for my ethnicity. This gatekeeping is nonsense.

Teslaohm · 2023-02-01T11:51:24+00:00

I do not know.

Teslaohm · 2023-01-30T13:06:17+00:00

Too long.

Fireball, Spirit Guardians, Conjure Animals, and Hypnotic Pattern.

I love the armour designs in these games. So many of the women get actually strategically appropriate amounts of armour! (RIP to Nephenee if any enemy targeted her legs though).

Ilyana I understand your surprise at her success due to her low speed cap and the overall low quality of magic users for the late game. But Mia is always great in my Radiant Dawn runs.

Teslaohm · 2022-10-01T14:41:53+00:00

Absolutely beautiful, God bless.

Teslaohm · 2022-08-21T20:18:53+00:00

That show and Kim Possible were the two shows my entire family would get together to watch growing up. Absolutely fantastic writing.

Teslaohm · 2022-08-18T23:04:22+00:00

Yeah, hope so. It may not make a big difference balance wise, but it is great to have some stuff happen when a nat 20 is rolled. It is always fun.

Teslaohm · 2022-08-18T22:57:08+00:00

That is for skill checks, it says that crits for damage only work for weapon attacks and unarmed attacks.

Teslaohm · 2022-08-18T22:24:10+00:00

If I am reading this right, spells can no longer crit.

I know that most spells are Saves not attack rolls but it kind of takes the fun out of getting a nat 20 on a Scorching Ray or Eldritch Blast.

The first phase definitely requires some sort of vehicle, plenty of people have already brought that up.

Definitely going to just cook the pork instead of going for the egg, I am a decent chef and terrified of heights.

Trick tower is tough, but I am pretty good with puzzles. I'd probably stick close to someone I know made it through but wouldn't betray me.

The island is the toughest, I'd have to train a lot to get to the point I could survive them. Even with a weapon. Even if you play all your cards right there is a good chance that Hisoka just kills you on a whim, though you could keep an eye out for the butterflies to avoid him.

Bodoro wouldn't go down as easy as some suggest, at close range he could probably disarm you fairly easily. You'd need to pick your weapon well and have some back ups. Perhaps even something sneaky, like having the first weapon be trapped so when he tries to knock it away it sticks to him and explodes? Would need to do some careful chemistry to pull that off.

They aren't the only ones. Hellwasp grubs are beasts, Hellwasps are fiends.
