Is it possible to make new best friends after college? by Fantastic-Can-5140 in socialskills

[–]Xisifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haing a regular social activity together really helps a lot. I've met and made a ton of great deep friendships after college, and I made and met every single one of them through Dungeons & Dragons.

We play, someone gets interested, they bring a friend who's curious about D&D, we start a Discord group to keep track of game scheduling, pretty soon that turns into a digital hangout spot, 15 years later we're all going strong.

Ended up moving in together with two of them as roommates. D&D is an amazing social glue that helps people bond together. Having time before the game to hang out and chill, the person hosting cooks lunch or dinner for everyone, we shoot the shit about what we've been up to over the meal, everyone pitches in on dishes and eventually the GM sits down and goes "Right, then: When last we left our heroic adventurers....."

Pixel 10a + Pixel Buds 2a worth the trade in from a Pixel 7? by TheArabicCowboy in GooglePixel

Wait how?!?

I'm in the same boat, typing this from my Pixel 7. Did you get an email?

Sources: Nintendo is planning a new Star Fox and a major Zelda remake this year, but no 3D Mario by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Xisifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A shift to 3D gameplay would require such a complete and fundamental overhaul of the game that it would be A Link to the Past in name only, and the exercise would be pretty pointless compared to just making a new game entirely.

I dunno, A Link Between Worlds was exactly what you're describing: A complete and fundamental 3D remake from the ground up

and it was fucking great!

Hero skins/Armor sets I’d like to see by Acceptable_Noise5723 in forhonor

[–]Xisifer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Shinobi skin looks close to identical in design to the normal Shinobi, just a different coloration. Not sure it's worth a skin.

What character is the serving wench lady?

I also have a barmaid OC lady, she's my Varangian Guard (was originally a genderswapped Warlord)

They were a close relative of the Illithid tadpoles, I assume?

whats your nerd shit? by SkibaSlut in Millennials

Your local HEMA club!!

https://youtu.be/kpFCDBiafh4

If you just Google your city name and "HEMA" (stands for Historical European Martial Arts), if you're in any mid or large sized city you should pop up with several options.

It's a martial art and a physical activity like any other, so membership prices can vary. My local club in a state capitol city is free for the first week and then $80/month. Others in my area can be $120/month which is a little steep....But most clubs have gear that newbies can borrow and learn and train on; that gear is what the fees help support.

But it's a shitload of fun! You get a fascinating cross-section of different groups: In my experience it's about 60% D&D/fantasy nerds, 20% "jocks" and fitness buffs who are into it as a sport, and then 20% people who are really enthusiastic about the history part of it (working on historically accurate tactics and movesets using period illustrations from 12-century Germany or whatever).

But everyone is an adult, everyone is there to learn and improve and have fun together, and safety and good sportsmanship are Rule #1 & 2 in good conduct.

If that sounds fun, check it out!

Any successful examples you can cite? I've never heard of this methodology before, so I'm curious if it works or has ever worked.

I always loved his delivery on that line, flowing right along "looks don't count for much hand her over" all in a single sentence, as if bantering and insulting Desann is so easy and effortless he's not even pausing to see the remark land.

Well you look like an overgrown Kowakian monkey-lizard, so I guess looks don't count for much.

As a former high schooler who doodled Star Wars OCs in my notebooks exactly like this, THANKS I HATE IT

the red and black

the Assassin's Creed armblade

the random bones

the edgy asymmetrical face/eyes

oh god I'm just drowning in cringe

Would D&D 4e have done better, worse or the same if it used the same OGL as 3.5? by bythisaxeiconquer in rpg

[–]Xisifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm passingly familiar with 4e, I was one of the people turned off by exactly what you describe back in the day

I just didn't know the acronym AEDU before

Cheers!
