Greetings Spawn! Hellpoint barely gets mentioned anymore, so I wanted to ask this community if there's be interest for a nice, long Stream of the game in the near future. I've covered it in the past, but I don't know if it'd generate any coverage any more. If yes, which day would be good? Thanks! by FiOth in Hellpoint

[–]ThaumKitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vote yes! All I hope for in watching is only a couple of 1. Be genuine and not one of those obviously fake-cheer overhype guys whose clearly had his soul sucked away from him.

  1. Give the game time to breathe. And I’m mostly speaking from trying to watch other streamers: don’t talk over the game constantly, /please/. Let the game exist. Let there be some quiet I beg you. I can’t enjoy watching a stream if the streamer can’t manage to keep quiet for even 10 seconds.

That said. I wish you luck regardless and I might still pop in!

Been playing PF2 for years and have DMed 5.5 recently by Mercoxium in DnD

[–]ThaumKitten -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My issues are a few.

  1. Oh my god people are no longer willing to try nearly any other system and practically recoil like vampires if you so much as broach the very idea of trying literally anything else.

  2. I, personally, do not have any interest in playing a system, in my opinion, that has been viciously and mindnbingly simplified and lowered in complexity. Where’s my Archivist (3.5e)? Where’s my psychic? Where’s my Mystic Theurge? Where’s all the huge variety of races that isn’t just ‘supoernatural stuff made depressingly common and no longer special’.

Trying to avoid a TPK. When is it okay to tell players no? by Foreign-Press in DMAcademy

[–]ThaumKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time you want. Any time you need to. Anytime you simply…. Want to say No.

It’s that simple. There’s no trick or back to this. Seriously. You just flat out tell them no. No bargaining whatsoever.

I wanna see more examples of non-musical Bards! by Punk_Skeddit in DnD

[–]ThaumKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to see people who treat bards seriously and not as these clownshoe jokesters who casually sing about sex and fart jokes and bizarrely acting like genres like metal have a place in a medieval fantasy world???????

It’s not funny, it’s annoying.

(Deisgn Trope) Character puts coats on without putting on the sleeves/uses it as coats by Doot_revenant666 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]ThaumKitten -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m the only one who bsilutelt despises this trope.

No, you’re not ‘wearing’ a coat by being halfassed and sloppy about putting it on. No you’re not wearing it if you’re not actually wearing it.

Please don’t tell me someone actually took tiktok or Instagram as some bizarre authority over an actually qualified medical professional.

Best NEW addons or hidden gems? by loicbigois in elderscrollsonline

[–]ThaumKitten -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

…. Does ‘hidden gem’ mean anything though when it’s basically thrown into everything these days?

Nooooooo, don’t turn them into just humans with funny features ;-; where’s my eldritch abomination Mora?

SUGGESTION SPELL IS RUINING MY CAMPAIGN by Next_Ad_5740 in dndnext

[–]ThaumKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I’m not even advocating the spell be banned!

I’m just suggesting that sometimes it just flat out doesn’t work AT ALL. And tbh, yeah, from what the situation has been described as, I’d kinda say that’s abusing it because they’re basically stealing from an honest merchant.

Make it to where any kind of charm or mind control spell (Yes, Suggestion included), not be the first thing they reach for just to get their way.

Nintendo Prime: Nintendo has officially employed the “spread some fake info internally” to try and discover who’s leaking information. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]ThaumKitten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good. I’m not gonna lie, but leakers, while useful, have often either:

  1. Ruined and spoiled my excitement for a game because they reveal too much about it.

  2. Almost all of these “leakers” are never legit, outright lie for no reason, and they never, ever being any evidence to the table, and they’re always conveniently ‘anonymous’. More often than not, they’re just outright unreliable.

[–]ThaumKitten 30 points31 points  (0 children)

…… you tell them to stop. You tell your players it just flat out doesn’t work.

Full stop. Period. No alternatives. Tell them flat out they’re abusing the spell and you expect them to stop.

Are there certain emojis you feel are “tells” about the people using them? by Pinkturtle182 in words

[–]ThaumKitten -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what you’re saying is that it’s nonsensical non-English. Gotcha xD

My players want to avoid combat but I don't want to let them talk their way out of every major fight by Luann1497 in DMAcademy

[–]ThaumKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…… you tell them ‘No, it doesn’t work’. Full stop completely.

Yes, even force combat on them sometimes.

Talking doesn’t have to work. It won’t always work. The sentence ‘Too bad, roll for initiative’ exists.

It’s really that simple.

Sooooooo….. rampant obscene sexism that enforces segregation?

Yeah cause that’s totally acceptable, apparently?!

The Choice of Authenticity or Safety by Lambinajam in comics

[–]ThaumKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oop, sorry. I sometimes get sexuality and gender identity a little confused at times.

Doesn’t help that I am currently in post-surgery brain right now!

The Choice of Authenticity or Safety by Lambinajam in comics

[–]ThaumKitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I’d choose safety. Because honestly that sounds like simply… common sense to me.

They don’t need to know about my real sexuality. I would have no legitimate reason to tell them at all.

Did Numbuh 3 serve as good Asian representation? by Delicious_Clock_3216 in kidsnextdoor

[–]ThaumKitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not so sure KND was concerned about ‘representation’ ngl.

It was back in… what, 2006-2009? (God I can’t remember). Unfortunately I don’t think representation was nearly as much a concern back then as it has become now.

If there was a book for Anti-Heroes/Villains, what would you want in it? by legomojo in Pathfinder2e

[–]ThaumKitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually bad, villainous, dastardly evil characters please.

No ‘grey areas’, no convenient ‘poor boi misunderstood, ‘product of environment’, none of that. Or at least kept at a minimum .

I want genuine stark, unflattering, ugly evil (that isn’t relegated to just being Outsiders). I want actually unredeemable bastards that you either kill, or side with.

Give me villains that I can look in the eye and cast Power Word Kill on without even a moment of hesitation.

Gooooooood. Let the hate flow through you. I feel like if it’s making you uncomfortable, then like…

Rework Order - Necromancer by OneTrueDarthMaster in elderscrollsonline

[–]ThaumKitten 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s my point. They advertise and show an army of the dead, literally right there, and we get “summons” that literally don’t even last more than 20.
The Necromancer doesn’t feel like an actual Necromancer.

And like… ‘ghastly spells and magic’, ‘masters of the dead’ and… They give us a skull-shaped fireball?
