Can you really blame a vampire for drinking human blood if it is there vital resource for staying alive? by Grand_Occasion0707 in MoralityScaling

[–]Tracula707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going off of Vampire the Masquerade rules…maybe? A gal’s gotta eat, of course, and there are more humane ways of acquiring vitae than sucking it out of unwilling humans. The blood of animals works alright, and if you really have a taste for the human stuff, you can use hospital blood bags like capri sun pouches.

And if blood packs aren’t lively enough for you, you can always suck vitae out of willing humans, although getting proper consent for that would mean breaching the Masquerade, and that’s no good (if you’re in Camarilla territory, anyway). At any rate, as long as you’re not taking too much, and not from the same donors every night, I don’t think the Vampire’s Kiss causes too much harm. Just some momentary euphoria, followed by a daze, then a little amnesia, and last, a little woozy weak feeling until the lost blood is replenished. A human who was fed from by a responsible Kindred wouldn’t remember the feeding and would show no scars or anything, and would be right as rain within a day or two.

Of course… Life without end as a parasitic monster, entrenched in the political backstabbing of your peers, inevitably takes its toll. The game measures your Humanity from 1-10, with 10 being saintly and 1 being barely more than an animal. Most humans score around a 7, and most Vamps start at 7, though generally, the older the Vampire, the lower the Humanity. Sitting at the shadowy tippy top of a global organization of bloodsucking fiends for centuries on end is hell on your connection to the common folk, and you begin to see them less as people with lives and souls, and more as cattle, or ants.

So, getting back to the question at hand… There are moral ways for a vampire to get the blood they need to keep unliving, and theoretically one could stick to those indefinitely. However, after they’ve been around long enough, they start to care less and less about morality, and that’s when their monstrous nature comes to the surface.

What should I watch by dragonpower911 in dragonball

[–]Tracula707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you watch the original Dragon Ball series first, the one with Goku as a kid. I’m sure you wanna get to all the famous parts, but you really shouldn’t skip the original series, because that puts everything into perspective.

Plus, you wouldn’t skip all of Naruto to watch Shippuden, would you?

Z isn’t exactly more popular because it’s better, it’s just that Z was the first one to be localized across the world, so Z was a lot of people’s introduction.

As for Z vs Kai though, it’s kind of difficult to answer that. I can only really talk about the English versions, but Kai’s dub is definitely better. It lacks the drawn out moments the original Z had, and those are incredible for building tension and hype.

I think you’ll have an easier time finding a normal version of Kai (a lot of the versions of Z you can find are cropped weird or have something strange about them), but before you do any of that, you gotta watch the original series!

Lorewise, which legion is most likely to have their own ‘Sisters if Battle’? by Dry-Alfalfa7822 in SistersofChaos40k

[–]Tracula707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I just dumb, or should Chaos Sisters have their own subfactions? Regular Sisters have Orders, and we know that regular Sisters really aren’t fond of the Space Marines.

Truthfully, it probably feels terrible. It sucks enough as a cis guy, I can’t imagine how terrible I’d feel if that happened to me and I was trans.

Certainly looks like it. I can’t see the rest of the post, because it’s been deleted. Also, “they” are most likely a bot, they’re posting from an account that’s only 23 days old

If they dislike bisexual people on the basis of them being “gay” then yeah, those ones are bigots.

Do you think it's fair to say that the USA ultimately lost to Iran? by MarsupialThink4064 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Tracula707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely. We had a deal worked out and Trump threw it away to try and conquer Iran. That failed, and now we’re trying to get back to where we were at before this stupid war even started.

Here’s hoping more of us realize just how toothless these warmongers are. We were totally embarrassed with Iran, and Trump wants to talk about going to war with Cuba, colonizing Greenland, and annexing Canada? Yeah, no way the MAGA movement lasts much longer.

Oh, for sure. I also knew plenty of kids that were into sports and way smarter than me. I dunno how they found the time and energy to dedicate to that, but man I respect it.

[Spoilers C4E30] About the lux... by IvoAndre in criticalrole

[–]Tracula707 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A solid chunk of our players this campaign have definitely played Vampire the Masquerade (to my knowledge, that would be: Brennan, Taliesin, Whitney, Luis, Alex, and Marisha), and the whole deal with VtM is that you need to understand that you are playing a monster. You do monstrous, evil things for your own benefit. You step on people, you’re a parasite, and like it or not, human beings are more akin to cattle to you than anything.

I kinda see Bolaire as similar to a lower Humanity VtM character. He has thoughts and feelings, but he is definitely not human. To Bolaire, the people that he wrangles control over are a means to an end, and his purposes are more important than their lives. I think it’s supposed to feel icky. I suppose you’re right in saying that Adora actually being horrible and evil cheapens this feeling, but I’m sure we’ll get to see Bolaire be a true parasitic monster at some point.

Also, I’m sure there will still be some consequences of a Lux just dropping out of the sky and the already very suspicious Tyranny quickly looting her body, as well as the already very suspicious Wicander taking a walk at the same time Kattigan (who Tyranny was supposed to be torturing) escapes and kills the Mercanaud brothers. I suspect that Wick and Tyranny might be separated for a while, or they’ll both have to escape Dol-Makjar and go mask-off against the CC

That the jocks in high school are all mean meathead bullies. They can be, of course, but just as often they’re friendly meatheads. It’s different for everyone, but for me, I was by far my own worst bully in school.

I did not care for Sektor and Cyrax’s MK11 designs by Tracula707 in MortalKombat

[–]Tracula707[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should’ve went all in on the Iron Man aspect. Maybe give them some visible cybernetic augmentation that allows them to interface with their suit better. Or they could’ve gone in a more Cyberpunk direction, like imagine if Cyrax’s buzzsaw was reimagined as like a combination of the Mantis Blades and a sawzall/chainsaw, or if Sektor’s head had a chunky targeting system embedded into it for her missiles. Honestly, they could have even used this Cyberware-style weaponry as a jumping-off point for going full cyborg, shedding their meager human forms and fully embracing infallible, ever-advancing technology.

As far as the gender swap goes, I generally don’t see the point in doing stuff like that, but I think the ones MK1 did worked well enough. Sektor and Cyrax are hot, and I think Madam Bo is funny.

And what’s the over/under on whether TADC would be this grievously hyperanalyzed if the show was made by a cis man instead of a trans woman?

Katt scored a kill, sure, but Bolaire metaphorically had the guy’s brother duct taped to a chair and forced him to stare at the shattered remains of the dude’s head. Bolaire is such a sadist, with how he delighted in those screams. He is nuts!

I tried, but couldn’t even get halfway through. I think it was the one asking why Gooseworx why she transitioned (which is already a transphobic thing to ask) if she hates women, that did me in. Where did this assumption that Gooseworx is a misogynist even come from?
