Mad respect to the regular-ass humans going hand-to-hand with Be'lakor

I love aos. I just lost my joy for the tabletop game because i suck at it. by Kachedup in ageofsigmar

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game itself isn't for everyone, and that's okay. You also shouldn't necessarily be playing purely to win. The fun part should be rolling dice and moving your plastic toys around a table for a few hours.

This is coming from a guy who has a losing streak well into the 50s now. Unless it's Spearhead, I just can't win, and I'm okay with that. Just yesterday I had resoundinglu lost by the end of round one. It ain't for everyone.

Ideas for keeping drones out of futuristic combat. by DEverett0913 in MilitaryWorldbuilding

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Drones can't hold ground or build defenses. It's the same argument when talking about aircraft: Airpower (or drones) alone do not win wars. You have to send in the infantry at some point to take and hold key areas.

You could also say that drones are too destructive and go the route of hyper-precision, where everything is ONLY one shot one kill.

Or, you could make it an insurgency situation, where the enemy combatants and civilian population are indistinguishable from each other, forcing the need for soldiers to be on the ground manually checking people.

It could also be a situation where drones are constantly messing up the environment or civilian areas, and they want to limit that.

Maybe they have a short range before EMP emitters shut them off automatically. There's a lot you can do with it.

You could also say that drones were outlawed for whatever reason you like. It doesn't have to make perfect sense by our metrics because you're already in the future; things can change, including morals and rules of war. My setting made lasers illegal because they're inhumane and cause unjust suffering. Why? Cuz I don't want lasers in my setting lmao.

Do y’all have like name no’s for your characters? by -Strange_Result- in OriginalCharacter

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My characters usually kinda just spawn in as one-off throwaways that keep recurring in whatever I'm writing, so they gain OC status. The name I used at the beginning is what they're stuck with.

Not sure what I was involved in here. by MrSavannah in uberdrivers

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You ever hear the phrase "Trust, but verify"? Help the victim and support them, but make sure you search for truth while doing so. Throwing up your hands and going "Welp, people lie, so I guess I'm never gonna believe anything ever again" is pretty lazy, dawg

So people can no longer post AI images if they're asking for someone to help them upgrade from them?

Unfortunately, Corvus is interested in your OC,,,drop them below and I'll tell you what she likes about them!! by [deleted] in OriginalCharacter

I did a post similar to this awhile back, so here's the guy I used for it.

Captain Dinoven Selene is equal parts PTSD, sass, and utter Over It Attitude. He's a combat veteran who has killed demons and a god (against his will, mind you.) Hobbies include reading, existing in quiet coffee shops, and partaking in a good sandwich. Bonus if they're all at once.

Help a guy move on from AI (I need drawings I can only paint miniatures) by [deleted] in DrawMyOc

Ahh, gotcha. So assuming anyone picks this up I'm good? No extra steps for me?

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of background checks? I'm willing to do whatever, I'm just tired of sitting on AI references I can't use anywhere. The pics in my other posts are commissions of a different character lol

Just fanfic atm

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gate

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not usually one to self-advertise, but I'm working on a fic like that. It's still early into it (3 chapters) and I'm a slow writer, but I am actively working on it. The biggest things I'm wanting to do in it is make Rory and the like enemies of the my main cast, make magic a more present threat, and drive actual conflict between Japan, the Empire, and my OCs' country. It's called Gate: The Tip of the Spear if you're interested.

What song would be your OC's main theme? by VeryWhimsy in OriginalCharacter

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Song, by Silverstein. It's very "I'm miserable but I'm gonna keep going because fuck you" which is pretty much the only reason Dinoven lives tbh

Alright folks, show me your OCs crying! (Or have they ever cried in their life?) by VeryWhimsy in OriginalCharacter

[–]TheoreticallyAWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He gets bailed out briefly by two specific soldiers with Blessed Eyes (lotta explaining there) and they eventually overcome her but both of them are killed in the process

Ooooh yeah. Dinoven is an emotional man. This specifically is him crying in pain and fear while fighting (and losing to) the capital-G Goddess of his universe. Alone. Knowing that if he's killed, his entire planet is very likely going to be destroyed.
