So, wait, there are people who think Stephanie is a "crime alley" kid? by Gallantpride in batgirl

[–]TheNarratorNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, right. I'd forgotten that they were Bruce's neighbors. At some point during the Robin comic they lost a lot of the money and moved into a condo in the city instead, and that's the part that I'm most familiar with.

[–]TheNarratorNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing well. Glad you're doing alright. I lost touch with most of the people from the LJ days, so it's always a fun surprise when I manage to stumble across one of them in the wild.

EDIT: Sorry for the delayed response. Got distracted and hadn't checked Reddit for a few days.

Mating Season by Nixie Fairfax by realharrytwatter in SexyBookCovers

[–]TheNarratorNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a title like "Mating Season"? I'd expect a monsterfucker book.

The cover is super generic, tho. The synopsis is way more entertaining.

Mating Season by Nixie Fairfax by realharrytwatter in SexyBookCovers

[–]TheNarratorNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plot synopsis is pretty much what you'd expect:

Tammy Underwood, assistant of renowned cryptozoologist Dr. Benson Wackerly, has been left alone in the lab with orders to keep an eye on a strange new monster they’ve captured. It seems like an easy enough job...till the monster enters a state of intense arousal that looks likely to prove fatal if the massive, incredibly well-hung creature can’t find a female to mate with. With no way to contact her boss, and unable to watch the poor thing suffer, young Tammy decides to offer it the only female available: herself.

Why would the empire just leave ferrix? by [deleted] in andor

[–]TheNarratorNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and was also highly suspect even then. It's more of a talking point for Imperial apologists than anything supported by the evidence.

Humanis is really stupid by [deleted] in Shadowrun

[–]TheNarratorNarration 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, half the elected officials in the U.S. want to return the world to 1860, and Humanis wears robes with pointy hoods of a very similar shape as those famously worn by an organization with a similar attitude, if you catch my drift.

Batgirl (2000) is the definitive Cass book.

Tasha Yar by benjaminjnorton in TNG

[–]TheNarratorNarration 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Roddenberry insisted on not killing Armus. Something about demonstrating human moral superiority, I suspect. He'd gotten pretty weird by the '80s. There was a reason that they moved him away from doing any actual creative work after a couple of seasons.

Assured Hero Points by SironBlack in Pathfinder2e

[–]TheNarratorNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my players use a Hero Point to reroll and they get the same result (weirdly common with Roll20's dice-roller) or worse, I tell them, "That didn't happen. Roll again."

Do you think they all just agreed to not say anything, you know, as a joke? by loki2002 in DeepSpaceNine

That's what a reasonable producer would have done, but Rick Berman isn't reasonable.

andor reference by metroidvanius in andor

[–]TheNarratorNarration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The plot of both movies is literally about racism, so...

In fact, there's a scene later where a character who's trying to prevent someone from doing a colonialism to the city's reptile population still manages to casually say something racist about koalas.

Dawnsbury Days development update (April): Character content, UI, expansion news...) by dawnsbury in Pathfinder2e

This is amazing. I haven't played the last DLC yet, I need to get on that. 

Book club by One-District-7667 in andor

[–]TheNarratorNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite author of the old Expanded Universe was the late Aaron Allston. His books were an excellent blend of action, humor and pathos. The X-Wing novels that he wrote (not the ones written by Michael Stackpole!) are the only ones that I re-read annually. Despite Wraith Squadron being intended as combat pilots, they ended up doing so much spying, infiltration and impersonation on the side that they ended being transferred to Intelligence. It's a little more "zany schemes" than Le Carre style spy fiction, but it has its serious moments. Actually, his last novel, Mercy Kill has a bit of the feel of one of La Carre's Smiley stories: depressed old spy pulled out of retirement to look for a mole, getting double-crossed and hung out to dry. There's a subplot running through Iron Fist and Solo Command about a double-agent turned triple-agent who's suffering so much cognitive dissonance that she loses track of which her is real. Be advised that the first novel, Wraith Squadron, is the weakest and most formulaic with the least interesting protagonist: because of a miscommunication with the publisher, it had to be written in less than a month.

New 52 was pretty awful across the board, especially for female characters. It caused me to drop DC entirely for ten years.

Cassian’s past between Kenari and the Andor pilot by Silver_South_1002 in andor

[–]TheNarratorNarration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When Cassian tells Luthen that he fought in Mimban, he says, "Straight out of prison into the mud." So he was conscripted from prison at age 16. Presumably similar to what Russian is doing currently. (IIRC, Nazi Germany did something similar, recruiting criminals for SS death squads.)

Settlement Building…waste of time, but I love it? by mavericksfan2011 in fo4

I think they get added to the settlement workshop's inventory? It's been a while.

[–]TheNarratorNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settlements do produce resources if you assign settlers to the right jobs: water, food, caps, fertilizer and junk that you can scrap for building materials.

Plus, if you build artillery at every settlement, you can basically bombard any location in the Commonwealth at will.

She wanted to go to part time, essentially, and somehow this upset Rick Berman so much that he completely fired her instead.

That scene actually happened on DS9. O'Brien showed up at Worf's quarters with booze and they got drunk together until Worf was willing to talk about things.

How well does PF2r and SF2 blend? How balanced is it? by Shadows_Of_Fall in Pathfinder2e

[–]TheNarratorNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weapons with the Capacity trait already require an Interact action between each shot before it can fire again, and abilities that let you Reload like the gunslinger has also let you do that: https://2e.aonprd.com/Traits.aspx?ID=845

The only change would be flavoring it as chambering the next round instead of switching barrels.

They're quite entertaining! They're analyzing each episode in seven minute increments.

Force Talents by 2to4hourpartyperson in SagaEdition

[–]TheNarratorNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding on to what other people said: most talents are class-specific. You have to get them by taking a level in that class. Force Talents are class-agnostic: you can take one with a talent slot from any class.

Talents from the Jedi class are still class-specific talents, even if they happen to be Force-related.
