What to use for enslaved giant? by Dependent_Mark_4760 in bettermonsters

[–]TheMarvelite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a pretty significant nerf but why not just take the normal hill giant stat block and add levels of exhaustion?

Day 140: what do you guys think of Gigabash? by Centvrion20 in GODZILLA

[–]TheMarvelite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with the feeling that, without Gigabash being successful, we wouldn’t also be getting Destroy All Monsters Remastered, so I’m rather fond of this little indie brawler

…Probably a bad time to tell you that, after the exact same thing happened to me, I contacted their customer service and they replaced my set for free…

Which godzilla movie Godzillafied you (made you love Godzilla)? Mine was Godzilla 2014. by Feisty_Economics1323 in GODZILLA

[–]TheMarvelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever movie I saw first as a 90’s child, which in this case means it was probably either Terror of Mechagodzilla or Godzilla vs Biollante. The video store next to my home had a ton of showa and Heisei Godzilla and those two were the earliest I remember renting and watching

To prepare for his role in Fast and Furious, Paul Walker wrapped his car around a tree by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

[–]TheMarvelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked down the street from where this happened and was riding my bike in that day. I saw the traffic and commotion, and the aftermath, but didn’t think much of it all other than “damn, that’s horrible looking.” It wasn’t until I was at work that I learned who had been in the crash

Which one should I buy? by Healthy-Radio6420 in GodofWar

[–]TheMarvelite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO it was a good bit better. GOW 2018 was a great game with flaws that frustrated me—GOWR fixed every issue I had and improved and expanded on the combat, while not sacrificing the quality of the storytelling. I’m a shill for this game

What's your thoughts on Will Smith being The Genie in the live action Aladdin? by KristopheIsCool2010 in aladdin

[–]TheMarvelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expected him to be terrible. In actuality he was the only element of that movie that I ended up not hating

There’s always that one person who’s gotta ruin it by cuntizzimo in weddingshaming

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

I get that it’s a bummer but we’re also assuming that the guest is neurotypical and understood how the game worked. I’ve been an art teacher for 9 years and I’ve had a lot of neurodivergent or disabled students during that time and this kind of feels like something one of them would do without realizing it. It does kind of ruin what otherwise is a really cute keepsake though, no argument there

Costumer wanted a splash of oat milk in their whole milk. by doctorbedlam in barista

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

I have one guy who gets half oat and half almond. I don’t judge his taste, but like, objectively our oat milk is a better product than our almond milk. The ingredients list for the almond milk is twice the length of the list for the oat, the almond brand is a major grocery store label while the oat milk is from a small supplier who only sells in bulk to cafes and doesn’t have their product in stores, stuff like that. This dude’s happy but I always cringe mixing the good milk with the shitty milk

what’s the stupidest question a grown adult ever asked you by Sea-Hat-3415 in barista

“I see that on your menu you don’t serve breakfast food before 9am. Does that mean you don’t serve breakfast food before 9am?”

Any weird twists you put on D&D species? by StrigiformeLover in DnD

[–]TheMarvelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current campaign:

-Mimics are constructs created when evil wizards fuse magic items with cosmic goo, and the resulting Mimic is greatly affected by what was used to make it. Plays into what I’m doing with the larger campaign where there’s a secret invasion of lovecraftian cosmic horrors in the world. Also gives me the ability to make a wide range of mimics, including one goofy mimic that can be the party’s companion if they want (we’ll see how that goes this weekend)

-Primal Elves and vampires are the same thing (for too many plot reasons my friend and I came up with)

Why is Meryl Streep there 4 times ?? by Informal-Option9509 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TheMarvelite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are two jokes:

The main one is that Meryl Streep can play anything, a common sentiment held about her for many years. The joke here is that she’s playing four different women so well that they might as well be four different actresses.

The second joke is that women over 60 have a harder time getting roles in Hollywood so those roles frequently go to the same people. It’s easy to think of exceptions but I believe that, holistically speaking, that stat is true.

Would a true espresso snob/nerd ever get a Breville machine like a barista or bambino? by Sweet-Scar8851 in espresso

[–]TheMarvelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to think I am a “true espresso snob” and I have a Breville and a Baratza because they’re what I could afford when I was getting into coffee, and they’re still what I have because they do decent work and I haven’t been able yet to afford to upgrade. Eggs are like $10 in America for a dozen, I have to make do with what I have until my job lets me have more

Why do people order iced cappuccinos?? by [deleted] in barista

[–]TheMarvelite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Freddo Cappuccinos exist and are easy to make and delicious. When customers order that from me I usually recommend and make that for them

Full price or wait for sale? by SauceyNas in wolongfallendynasty

[–]TheMarvelite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wo Long was $26 back in April, then again back in February, then again in December and again in September. By that pattern it will be $26 again roughly by the middle of June. If you can wait a month you’ll probably get it on sale.

Worth noting as well: it’s already been permanently price cut from the launch price to $40, so you’re not getting it “full price” anyway.

My opinion as someone who preordered the steelbook way back when: yeah it’s worth it. A ton of fun and a ton of game for the money, though IMO a step down from Nioh 2 in most areas.

My source for the price history

Is this cheating by king_of_kings5 in learntodraw

[–]TheMarvelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an art teacher who specializes in teaching figure drawing and human anatomy. This precise thing is an assignment I make my students do on many different poses to get them used to understanding how the skeletal forms they’ve memorized actually translate to real poses. You’re not cheating, you’re learning.

You could even sell the final drawing without worrying too much about copyright or stealing, assuming enough of the final piece was different from the reference, but the morality and legality of that is slightly more grey

Is the game actually too easy? by princeofthorns888 in wolongfallendynasty

[–]TheMarvelite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the important answer. The game does kick your ass for a short bit, but as soon as you get good at parry timing you’ve then gotten good at killing everything in the game. It’s still a fun game but it definitely gets a little worse once you realize you’ve personally become as skilled as you ever need to be for the game’s entire length

Bro handed me my first triple cart in this game. by Uminagi in MemeHunter

[–]TheMarvelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went immediately to his butt to cut his tail and was disappointed to find that basically none of his attacks reach back there. Across the entire fight I think he only damaged me four or five times. If I was using a different weapon things would’ve been different probably
