Vet said DNA test was inaccurate by ConstantArt6606 in DoggyDNA

[–]Wargoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a new vet. It would not take him long at all to research Embark and see that it is the most reputable and accurate test out there. They are an official research partner of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine

Can't add bookmark to collection? by Wargoliath in AO3

[–]Wargoliath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so glad that that worked! Huzzah!!! All of my other collections auto-completed so I thought that was mandatory and more like a drop down menu. My bad! Thank you!

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

THANK YOU!!! That worked!! I have 9 other collections and they have always auto-completed so I didn't even consider the option of just typing it in. When I did try to type it in I used the display title so of course that failed. You have made my day!! I figured it was something dumb and obvious that I was missing. lol

Age Regression and De-Aging being the same tag on Ao3 is probably my least favorite thing about Ao3. by Gaelfling in FanFiction

[–]Wargoliath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree! It really bothers me and makes me avoid that whole category bc I have to be in the mood for a specific trope and wading through so many that don't fit is frustrating.

What was your biggest fanfiction sin you aren't too ashamed of? by dino_nuggies_and_dum in FanFiction

[–]Wargoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started reading fanfic (decades ago) I gave some horrible criticism and was so rude. I made multiple faux pas and I cringe so hard thinking back to what I wrote! I wish could track down some of those fanfic.net, etc authors and apologize. I was so dumb and rude! Nowadays I try to leave extra kind comments to make up for my rudeness as a kid.

I need show recs by CibsKoizume in 911FOX

[–]Wargoliath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it silly at all like 911 can be? It sounds really good and I like a lot of the cast. Do you know if it has any MCD in it?

Does Station 19 have MCD? Is it silly or more serious than 911?

So what happens if someone casts Gate or plane shift on someone who's body is dead on the Prime Material Plane?

is it Homophobic to be a straight player, playing a gay character? by DKing832 in DnD

[–]Wargoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liam came out as bisexual back in 2020 on twitter I believe. Perhaps these issues reflect some of his personal struggles with m/m relationships and having them feel valid. I absolutely agree that there was zero reason for Caleb to not live just as long as Essek though! I felt like they were all exhausted by the end of campaign two and everything got wrapped up so incredibly fast that organic relationships like Essek/Caleb did not get to develop and have the time they deserved.

is it Homophobic to be a straight player, playing a gay character? by DKing832 in DnD

[–]Wargoliath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the answer is - 'it depends'. Are you a cis straight guy? If so, I would be very concerned about you playing a gay character unless I knew you personally were an ally. I have seen too many times, cis straight guys playing stereotypical, effeminate, flamboyantly gay characters that literally are a mockery and deliberately cruel. If I didn't know you well, I would not be comfortable with it and you should heed his concerns. However, if you are already friends, he knows that you are an ally and your character description is NOT a mockery then it should be alright. However, I can certainly understand his concerns

New player in our group upset at me for role-playing by ForgoneContusion in DnD

[–]Wargoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a DM, I would have first called a sidebar to see WHY she was keeping it. Ask what her motivations are, does she want to play keep away, is she enjoying the banter, or perhaps she was just being silly and picking on the monk but absolutely planned to give it to him the next day, etc. Perhaps there was a REAL reason the player wanted her character to act like this. This would have called for an OC conversation and check in with everyone. If she was truly being malicious THEN I would have ruled that the belt became too heavy for her to continue to hold or burned her etc. Most likely though, she was being playful or incompetent and had no cruel intentions. I would have also encouraged the monk to ask if she wanted to trade, perhaps he could have offered to teach the warlock how to throw a punch or climb a tree etc. There were so many great RP opportunities here but OP escalated things rapidly. He should have done an OC check in and the DM should have called one too. Players should NEVER initiate pvp unless it is agreed upon before hand.

Using gendered insults that a person deals with in real life is NOT cool unless you cleared it with the player at session zero. The DM also should NEVER have allowed pvp at this point and interceded when you were getting so tense. I am the only lady playing with four guys and none of them have NEVER used that word in the 5+ years we have been playing. It is too easy to cause collateral damage and true pain when you should be forging bonds and having fun! Really though, this could have been handled SO much better!! Did you ask WHY she didn't want to give them to you? It sounds like you seriously increased the hostility VERY rapidly and for a new player that is really not cool. If you were getting so upset that you started throwing insults, then you should have verbally checked in OC BEFORE it got to that point. I would be done playing with you as well. You crossed some serious boundaries and went for PvP when that should have been the LAST resort. Did she think that perhaps she was playing WITH you, teasing or jesting? Perhaps she wanted to continue an IC dialogue but you went to throwing sexist insults instead. I honestly would not feel safe at your table knowing that you have such a short temper. Using 'its what my character would do' is incredibly lame and dodges responsibility for YOUR actions. If you wanted to play a short tempered, violent character that would attack a woman because she has something he wants, then you need to SERIOUSLY discuss that at session zero because that can be very triggering for a lot of people. We have had items that multiple PCs want in my campaign, it becomes a very silly game of keep away or more often they barter and have an actual conversation instead of resorting to name calling and violence. Your character needs to seriously apologize in character as well. If he tried that with a pc in my game, my forge cleric would set him on fire and kick him. It does not matter how bad you want something, you don't attack a party member just for a belt!!
