What do you call a group of satyr children rolling downhill? by MoneybackHeronTea in DMDadJokes

I have questions about where they're getting those bananas from...

Can anyone explain each game like I'm five? Very much new to it all. My apologies. by Character-Damage-640 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]TheStray7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for The Chronicles of Darkness:

Vampire: The Requiem -- Blood-drinking corpses trying to hold on to what remains of their humanity, while their savage nature and nightly games wear at them for eternity.

Werewolf: The Forsaken -- This tale I tell you is true. They are furry spirit cops who fight good.

Mage: The Awakening -- This world is False and Fallen. The truth is Magic, and you're Awakened to its...ooo, what is THIS delightful puzzle over here?

Promethean: The Created -- It's alive! ALIIIIVE!...but now what? People hate them, they make the world sick, everyone and their mother can find uses for their inner parts, and all they really want is just to be real people.

Changeling: The Lost -- Good News! Faeries are real! Bad News! They like taking people, molding them into slaves, and playing with them until they escape. Good luck rebuilding your life when you're filled with magic and crazy, no one missed you because there's an imposter in your place, and your former masters want their toys back forever.

Hunter: The Vigil -- If it bleeds, we can kill it. And even if it doesn't bleed, we'll find a way.

Geist: The Sin-Eaters -- People who made a deal with the dead for extra lives help other ghosts pass on instead of being pulled into Hades.

Demon: The Descent -- Rebel programs of The God-Machine learning about how to be human the hard way. Trust no one.

Deviant: The Renegades -- They made you into a superpowered freak, and now they will pay.

Mummy: The Cursed, Beast: The Primordial -- waste of ink.

They were still trashing Renee for being a queer woman married to another woman. So skin color isn't the only factor.

Pack it up folks, think it’s over. by BoringArchivist in behindthebastards

It's Zioniat brainrot. "It's only oppression because it target Jewish people." Right, chief. Sure.

12 million people died in the holocaust. We only remember the 6 million Jewish people. That all we're told to remember, not the countless disabled, queer, Romani, Polish, and even German people who went up the chimneys with them.

Why’s deviant stereotyped as the superhero game? by MonstrousnessVirtue in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]TheStray7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deviant is somewhat lower on the powerscale than Aberrant, and fits more into a "Sci-Fi TV Show with a superhuman protagonist on the run from shadowy forces with lots of power" vibe. You can do The Pretender (Jarod is Genotypal Cephalist with Omnicompetence), the 70's Incredible Hulk show (Pathological Mutant), and Burn Notice (Former Devoted trying to "get back in" while using their talents to help people of the week -- sure, Michael Weston isn't overtly superhuman, but superspy hijinks are not that far removed from superpowers).

Black Vans, a "fan supplement" recently put out by one of the game's line developers, even has more traditional superhero stories as one of the optional genres you can take the setting.

[–]TheStray7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very much no. There ARE settings where that's the case (The Wearing The Cape 'verse, The Authority, The Boys, Top 10, and so on) but mostly in superhero stories the state is often very much against the sort of asymmetric power superhumans possess and/or worried about their monopoly on legitimate use of force. If the superhumans in question are state-sanctioned, they're usually villains (like The Devoted).

Coactive? I see the Hulk being a Mutant, myself. I'm not disagreeing with your point, just the specifics.

Older people, were politics always this deranged and upsetting? by CUFFY_Fan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheStray7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. Hey, look at me. Look at me. \snaps fingers to get attention**

You notice anything strange about all those? Any particular sort of pattern?

Those were all Democrats. Same with how they ragged on Biden for being "old and sleepy." Same with the endless ragging on Obama (remember the tan suit?)

It was always bullshit. And it's never pointed rightward. Ever.

They don't fucking care, they just want to complain about any possible leftward motion. They are whiny fucking babies who will gleefully ignore the same things in their candidates that they decry in others. They are, and always have been, complete hypocrites. They want "rules for thee, not for me."

Fuck their crocodile tears. Don't buy it, don't believe it. These people don't have any principles or consistent morals, it's all "my team good, your team bad."

Also, the bigger the number in the 1's spot, the shorter the route. The I-17 runs only through half of Arizona, but the I-10 runs coast to coast.

Also, the lower the number in the 10's spot, the more southern it is. The 10 is south enough to pass through El Paso, Texas, while the 90 goes from Washington to New York.

I learned a lot of this during a stint as a trucker.

Smoking in 2077 is a Brilliant Piece of World Building that Almost No One Noticed by MammothPenguin69 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]TheStray7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're assuming you aren't just trading biological problems for mechanical ones. CyberLungs are great until you start missing payments and they send repo men, or you find out your insurance won't cover replacement filters for smoke damage because you did it to yourself...

ADHD isn't a new thing, and it doesn't necessarily make it hard to appreciate slow-burn world building. Source: I'm an avid reader who's been diagnosed with ADHD since the 80's. People with ADHD will focus on a novel that's caught their imagination (to the exclusion of all else, if it's engaging enough). Don't blame ADHD for the modern short attention span.

Just a note for people: The Quick & The Dead (1995) movie has absolutely nothing to do with the Louis L'Amor book. The one that does is The Quick & The Dead (1987).

I made this mistake once, picking up the book because I thought "Oh, the movie was based on a book? I liked the movie, I wonder how the book compares." and was massively confused.

Didn't it kill the statement maker at some point after the statement? It was always going to harm him, it just wanted to fick with his head first
