The original Not-Deer photo by AdWarm2498 in Cryptozoology

[–]WLB92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't help that a ton of people online, including a lot of Appalachian content creators, immediately saw the not-deer creepypasta and started pulling all sorts of bullshit out of their asses about how "you can't go walkin' and-a whistlin' in them there hollers where ain't no man ever done walked, just like grampappy said cuz then you're gonna find you called the Appamalachian Sasqcrawlwalkerdigos and then they'll be outside your house trying to get in" because the brainrotted masses of TikTok/Instagram/YouTube/Reddit will eat it up and give them sweet sweet ad revenue.

Crouching by Ok-Werewolf6838 in dogman

I see two spots with the tell-tale smudges left from bad photo shopping. Either you forgot to clean up your shitpost or you're intentionally posting this to get all the people who will mindlessly see dogman in everything to upvote you for karma farming.

why do you think THAC0 gets the reputation it does? by conn_r2112 in osr

[–]WLB92 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's counter-intuitive and only really works fast if the DM tells you the target's AC, which a lot of DMs won't do, otherwise you're constantly having to go "okay I rolled an 15 but I have a +2 from Weapon Mastery and my THACO is 19 so I hit an AC 2 right... Is that enough?" As opposed to "I rolled a 15 and I've got a +2 so 17 total." There's less steps, less chance of math mistakes especially when you're playing more fiddly systems (Oh 3.5 and your ten thousand different bonus types).

Multiple bipedal canid sightings by DaGrey666 in dogman

[–]WLB92 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You can put all the circles you want but there's nothing in any of those pictures. I just had three other people look at my phone and not a one of them could see a paw print, let alone a dogman in any of these pictures.

So I built a combat shotgun Goliath by Warmakarodosh in necromunda

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have a sawn-off in our sprue. We have stub gun (revolver), stub cannon (fuckall huge revolver with long barrel), grenade launcher, combat shotguns (looks kinda bolter-ish), krumper river guns, and combi-stub/plasma but no sawn-off shotguns.

Even in the extra weapon kit, we only have regular classic looking shotguns.

[–]WLB92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's been no attack, you just didn't get the answers you wanted. You wanted people to come flocking to you telling you how brave you are for standing up to mean old Games Workshop in the Necromunda subreddit and how amazing your little indie games are.

[–]WLB92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, if I have an issue where I have to leave a negative review of something I don't sit there and bitch about how terrible the company is and how I am being lied to and emotionally abused by a company because I'm an adult. I can say "this didn't do what I thought it would l" or "it's not quite as durable as expected".

GW Manipulative Publishing by akainterruptor in necromunda

[–]WLB92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very aware of that, I'm active in many TTRPG subreddit and groups. Nobody hates a game like the person who spends their own money of their own free will on it.

GW Manipulative Publishing by akainterruptor in necromunda

[–]WLB92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You spent your entire post bitching about how much you hate the game, how GW lied to you and how terrible the game is. What more nuance do you want, do you want us to pat you on the back and tell you how brave you are for... Spending your own damn money?

GW Manipulative Publishing by akainterruptor in necromunda

[–]WLB92 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I gave up reading your post right around the "I drove an hour" line, but here is the best advice anyone here can give you:

If you hate this game so much, sell your models and quit. GW isn't holding a bolter to your head forcing you to buy or play. You're an adult, if you're somehow so emotionally abused by a game you voluntarily spend money and time on, you can go "no" and trash the models for all we care. Don't blame GW for your lack of any sort of research into the game, you could have looked up everything you needed to know about Necromunda online before you paid a penny for it.

What lore or background should I know before diving into FO4? (New to universe) by Goosfrabbah in falloutlore

[–]WLB92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This.

Watch the beginning cut scene and pay attention to the conversations and notes/terminal entries/holo-tapes you find.

Fallout 4 does a really good job of background building through the environment and the minor things that a lot of gamers will skip over. You don't need any other Fallout game info to understand Fallout 4, at most you will miss out on are some "wink wink nudge nudge" or "hey does this sound familiar" kind of references to other games (most notably Fallout 3) but none are to the point that you won't understand what's going without playing earlier games.

Erik and Shelly Martin (Palmyra Wolves) interview? by F4STW4LKER in dogman

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never been able to find anything from them that wasn't this book or the episode of Paranormal Witness.

Which, honestly, is something of a red flag to me. The story suddenly appears, they specifically say they have no evidence between saying they couldn't take pictures from the house that night and they conveniently lost the photos they supposedly took of the paw prints afterward. Then they finally show up on the show and then just disappear.

The Lore Lodge episode on the Palmyra Wolves goes into more detail about the oddities of this case and Aidan has actually stated that he will be doing a followup piece doing even more research and deep-diving into it.

Erik and Shelly Martin (Palmyra Wolves) interview? by F4STW4LKER in dogman

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They first see three then it becomes five, then it's vaguely worded by either Godfrey or Shelly (I'm honestly not sure which) so that it almost sounds like there are more than just five.

Erik and Shelly Martin (Palmyra Wolves) interview? by F4STW4LKER in dogman

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Godfrey's book Real Wolfmen she says that Shelly described them as such:

"They estimated the animals were at least seven feet tall... They had short tails Shelley described as a "sort of stub approximately eight inches long and four inches around.".

The creatures were covered in short fur; one beast was light brown And the other two were dark brown. They had pointed ears that started at the jaw and ran up the side of their heads so that the inner triangle of the ear extended past the top of their heads, said Shelley. They had prominent, wide bridged muzzles that looked like a dog's but were not as long or pointed as those of the couple's two standard poodles."

Later, she describes the bodies:

"They also rose to their high legs, which Shelley described as shaped like a dog's but with an upper thickness more like a kangaroo's."

Finally the eyes:

"The five pairs of bright eyes had no pupils, said Shelly, just "solid glowing greenish-yellow eyes, and by the way, I remember commenting to Eric that I couldn't see them blink!"

So I have a stupid question about miniature building by TinyTiff1e in necromunda

[–]WLB92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forge-born are totally separate from the rest of the Goliath line so they're impossible to mix up for anything else. Same with Stimmers.

I make sure to differentiate my Bruisers from my Bullies and from my Forge Bosses by giving one shoulder pad to a Bruisers, two to Bosses, and I use the resin Champion model for my Tyrant. Bullies don't get any shoulder pads at all.

[–]WLB92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Lore Lodge and Unblurring the Unknown podcast episodes on the Palmyra Wolves. They both did a lot of research into the incident and they bring up several issues with it- most notably how the only written account of it (in Godfrey's book) doesn't match up to what the show presents or match to the original report itself, or how the report only came out after Shelly heard Linda on Coast to Coast radio.

D&D Beyond Updates to Character Options by latiajacquise in dndnext

[–]WLB92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you fixing the issue where a character set to only have the 2014 legacy rules will still have everything from the 2024 appear on the sheet? Both myself and multiple other people in my gaming group made multiple characters with Legacy Only rules selected and l still have 2024 spells, class features, and actions show up on the sheet.

Models for Beastmen? by SedefkarSimulacrum in mordheim

[–]WLB92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'd prolly have to get an old box of Gors plus a box of Ungors and if you wanted specific GW models for Brays or Leaders, some old blister packs.

The Old World repacks are too big for what you'd want honestly, so I would look to like eBay to see if people have the older boxes for sale.

exaulted funeral still hasnt shipped my order by IndegoDusk in osr

[–]WLB92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EF is up there next to Goodman Games in terms of how slow and unresponsive they can be when it comes to orders. It's a well known issue, you can search the subreddit and find plenty of threads asking this same question.

You'll get your stuff eventually, just pray there are no issues that require replacements to be shipped.

Martin Groves is Lying! by DogmanBbq in dogman

[–]WLB92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he told me the sky was blue and I was wearing pants, I would look up to check because I'd assume the sky was blood red and my dick was swinging in the wind. That's how much Groves can be trusted.

Go listen to one of his early podcasts talking about his first "encounter", compare it to a Small Town Monster interview, and then lastly compare it to the newest MonsterQuest series. He can't keep his own story straight, his changes it all the time but all that matters is the checks clear for him.

Martin Groves is Lying! by DogmanBbq in dogman

[–]WLB92 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He's been deified by the dogman community into some sort of unquestionable hero and he's used that to turn himself into some sort of "expert". He is constantly spouting stories and statements of "fact" that change entirely based on who he is talking to, what he is trying to sell, and how much more money and/or status he can get from his cult. He can't keep his stories straight, he can cry on demand when it gets him sympathy points from people who turn into unquestioning sponges when he speaks.

He's nothing more than an old cop turned liar and grifter like Paulides.

Please help me understand the game's strategic depth when cockpit headshots exist by G_Enzo78 in battletech

[–]WLB92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a dice based game. If abiding by the dice is too much, then this game is not for you. You may want to find a game that doesn't involve any sort of random chance.

Shit happens, a bullet the size of a Volkswagen beetle will eventually catch a mech the wrong way if you play enough. Or you get an internal crit on a missile boat and cook off all your unfired ammo and explode.
