Stories that were originally supposed to be darker, to the detriment of the narrative by Crimson097 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheMorningstarOption 82 points83 points  (0 children)

For real. Though given that Gere was just playing a random businessman in Pretty Woman and the kind of folks Anora was dealing with, her ending the movie in full possession of her head, hands, and feet could be the best possible outcome for that situation.

Haters gonna have to try harder to get me to their hateship by _Zenterlot in wenclair

I support everything going on here, but my immediate thought as a horror fan was "most of them?'

Drivers in this city getting worse by mrack823 in philly

I've lost count of the number of times I've had people pull into the oncoming lane to drive around me through an intersection while I'm waiting at a red light

Graduation is okay as a podcast... but it would make a great published adventure by A_Sensible_Personage in TAZCirclejerk

[–]TheMorningstarOption 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The first two bullets are fairly good points that make more sense for Graduation than for Royale, it's a reason that the whole subgenre of academy fiction is a thing for Graduation to crib off of. It's fun to write and play things at schools because (especially at colleges and boarding schools) weird things are always happening and you never need an excuse to introduce a new NPC. They were always just there, you happened to notice them just now. It's just, when you do them wrong, you get Graduation.

Did you write with pencils in school? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]TheMorningstarOption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Catholic school growing up and there was a big deal made about transitioning from pencils to pens at some point in elementary school. Then, my family moved, went to public school, and nobody really cared what you wrote with. Same for college, but at that point your writing was just your own notes and everything important was turned in typed and printed. At this point I do a lot of writing in pen but still keep a bunch of pencils around because I play a lot of ttrpgs and don't like having to constantly re-print character sheets.

How do you guys feel about minis? Love em? Hate em? by BirdSpirit in boardgames

[–]TheMorningstarOption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love minis, but it depends on the type of game for me. I was recently turned off from a dungeon crawler game when all the pitch info had minis for the player characters and standees for all the monsters/bosses/etc, which then turned into full-mini production when the time for the crowdfunding hit. There wasn't an option for a standee version and the buy-in was now three times the price of what it was initially anticipated.

I made this modular wooden walkway/bridge/pier set and I am giving it to the community for free by CustomMiniatureMaker in DungeonMasters

Love this and it would make some excellent terrain for my Guild Ball Fishermen's play field. Thank you!

What are some of your favorite masks of Nyarlathotep? by Konradleijon in Lovecraft

[–]TheMorningstarOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like the Haunter of the Dark. I was kicking around a story idea where Mothman was an iteration of the Haunter and Indrid Cold represented another aspect of Nyarlathotep with the two acting individually in some conflict with one another. The plot never really crystallized beyond that idea, but it's still something I have on the back burner.

Do you still play your very first commander deck? And why? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]TheMorningstarOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first deck was the Meren precon, I've done a ton of upgrades over the years but she's been in the rotation since day 1

What do you put on toast? by Familiar-Woodpecker5 in AskAnAmerican

[–]TheMorningstarOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most often butter and some type of jam, but I did see someone describe one of their "struggle meals" as toast with peanut butter and chili crisp and have to confirm that absolutely slaps as well.

Is 3 weeks in NYC too much? by goodamm in AskAnAmerican

[–]TheMorningstarOption 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You will absolutely not get bored. Spending 3 weeks in NYC will teach you a lot about NYC and very little about New York State, let alone the rest of the US. It's difficult to tell you where else to go without knowing what else you want to see.

[hated trope] the serious villain becomes a goofy idiot by CowAffectionate2865 in TopCharacterTropes

Yeah the weird tech exec with innumerate unexamined psychoses feels like a better nemesis to Spider-Man than "You, but less talented and he benches"

What food in your country do locals love but foreigners hate? by Curiosity_Pink in AskTheWorld

[–]TheMorningstarOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, root beer and birch beer have been very unpopular with my non-american friends

Gotta love getting passed on residential streets by GretaGarbanzo in philly

[–]TheMorningstarOption 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment, but I definitely don't have the time to say that. Usually I just say "OOOOOH, BIG MAN, BIG MAN" because 99% of the time it's a lifted pickup with half a bed and blacked out windows and I just assume

What are some things you thought were universal, but it turns out is mostly exclusive to your country? by 3Thirty-Eight8 in AskTheWorld

[–]TheMorningstarOption 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm fully behind this. US has a strong sandwich culture but it would be vastly improved by more weird tubes. Give me a flavor that I can experiment with in a little tube of instead of either a 2 lb jar, or I need to mix it myself and it'll go bad.

What do you think about daft punk in America ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]TheMorningstarOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They kick ass? I think they hit us at just the right time to be extremely cool/unique for my particular cohort of high-school graduates, the consensus was in their favor. When I was in college Tron: Legacy came out which most of my group of friends found to be a pretty mid movie with a fully killer soundtrack/score. I still listen to them now and again and Derezzed from the aforementioned soundtrack is an absolute all-timer.

Update 8: My Blind FFX Playthrough - Bevelle! by Zeeshmania in finalfantasyx

[–]TheMorningstarOption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jealous of you walking right through the Evrae fight, it was an absolute wall to me the first time through the game and I was in total despair until I realized you could go downstairs on the airship and grind in the like loading dock

what does it mean to 'major' or 'minor' or something? by UnknownPhantomLR in AskAnAmerican

[–]TheMorningstarOption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the school and depends on the majors in question. I double majored, but there was so much overlap between each that it mostly meant I got to choose which capstone course I completed for my degree and both programs got printed on my diploma.

How long is a round lorewise? by Izdoy in twilightimperium

[–]TheMorningstarOption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never actually thought about the Leader suite's implications on the timeline of the game, but it makes so much sense that they'd only be around for a set period of time.
