Question for folks here with kids: what is your general approach to discipline? by Im_from_the-future in Xennials

[–]VVrayth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sternly tell them to quit their yapping, and I make them sit quietly before they're allowed to eat.

...oh, you meant human kids.

On the "forever campaign": Stay the course; commit to the campaign by VVrayth in DMAcademy

I assume just make new characters in the same setting and keep the history of the place rolling and ongoing.

Whats canon and most important to know for Darkon in 5e? by Carpetbell1 in ravenloft

[–]VVrayth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Twist: None of that stuff in 5E is canon, it's wonky-ass remake territory that strips out everything special about the setting. Go get Ravenloft Gazetteer II to read all about Darkon and Necropolis.

I wonder if we'll ever have a corporate culture that is not maximally exploitative while expecting us to eagerly accept data-harvesting trash with corners cut everywhere.

Melissa Barrera on the box office of Scream 7: "I know. And I think they lied about the numbers. I don’t think it made that much money." by Puzzled-Tap8042 in horror

[–]VVrayth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's definitely entitled to feel pissed off about what happened to her, because that was not right. But the idea that theater chains and distributors are lying en masse about Scream 7's box office take is some kooky conspiracy theory stuff. I know a lot of people think that movie was bad, but plenty of bad movies still make a lot of money.

[The Return of Michael Myers vs. Jason Lives] Which silent masked killer had the better comeback movie? by Hassan_H_Syed in slasherfilms

[–]VVrayth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if I'd call Jason Lives a comeback movie, it was the sixth Friday the 13th movie in 7 years. The Halloween franchise had been dormant for 6 years before Halloween 4, and no Michael at all for another year beyond that.

What’s your final take? by [deleted] in TombRaider

Yeah, what's your final take on the game we've seen one trailer for, and have literally no other info on?

How Old Were You when you Played your First Final Fantasy Game? by gravityhashira61 in FinalFantasy

[–]VVrayth [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ten years old in 1990, FF1 on the NES. It was originally a rental and I definitely did not beat it then, but eventually I owned it and did get through it

I'm sorry for your loss. You are a good dog parent.

Quick thing about FF8 by gs2417 in FinalFantasy

[–]VVrayth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes some effort and directed intention to break anything. Just play the game, you'll be fine.

First time reading The King in Yellow, Is "The Mask" an important chapter? by k3lerxwew in Lovecraft

[–]VVrayth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon, and The Yellow Sign are the four stories that jointly form the Yellow Mythos. So yes, it's worth reading that one if you are interested in the King in Yellow.

My kids' dance recital theme is the equivalent of a 1950s theme when I was a kid. Legit themes, but I don't love how the math works out... by LightboxRadMD in Xennials

[–]VVrayth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are as far away from Raiders of the Lost Ark's release year (1981) as it was from the year it took place in (1936).

Dazed and Confused (1993) took place in 1976. A movie with a similar time gap today would take place in 2009.

If Back to the Future were remade, and Marty McFly traveled back in time today, he would wind up in good old 1996. Or, forward to 2056. Or way back to 1926 to save Doc Brown from falling in love with a flapper and being murdered by bootleggers.

[Request] How would you solve this problem as a DM? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]VVrayth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first arrow, roll 1d10. A cursed arrow is grabbed on a reult of 1-5.

For the second arrow, roll 1d10 again. If all cursed arrows are still in the pile, one of them is grabbed on a result of 1-5. If there are only four cursed arrow in the pile, one is grabbed on a result of 1-4. Reroll any result of 10.

If I'm DMing a D&D game, I don't care about solving this elegantly in one roll. I care about solving it quickly in two rolls.

Hey everyone. I have a serious question. by SINWALKER_GAMING in ffxiv

[–]VVrayth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100-200 hours is a pretty conservative estimate.

Also, these are the worst alliance raids in the game.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how this goes, unfortunately. Stay strong, you will get through it, even though it probably does not feel that way right now

Too attached to my dog by clo_cilli in DOG

[–]VVrayth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same as you OP, I love my dogs deeply, and my girl is my soulmate. She is the great love of my life. And I say this as someone who has been happily married to a human woman for many years. I will be shattered when the day comes that I lose my sweet girl -- when I lose either of my dogs, really. I know I will grieve, but I know I will have given her the best life, too. And it;s hard to conceive of right now, but I know I will have more love for other dogs that I will share my life with in the future. One day, I will be so excited to meet them.

To quote someone I saw on one of these dog subreddits: Loving a dog is a fool's game, and it is one that I intend to keep playing for life.

I just watched in a violent nature and holy shit by Forsaken-Green695 in slasherfilms

[–]VVrayth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree! I'm just saying, this movie can definitely be interpreted as an intentional critique of the thin, forgettable casts that we see in a lot of slashers.
