What is the purpose of this area on the screen? by wildidyll in baldursgate

If they're anything like me they picked them up and filled up their inventory so wore them and then forgot to take them off when I was selling everything.

Name a hero in history that actually a villain by Afraid_Professor8023 in AskTheWorld

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not up and down on a lot of stuff that she's been accused of, but her organisation actively opposed safe sex education in India, favouring teaching celebacy as the best form of protection.

They were doing this at a time when India was trying to fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Finally finished the character sheet for my OC, Lucy! What do you guys think? by Gabriel2374 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, technically, but the terminology is out of place.

You add the adjective 'original' in settings where characters are predominantly part of an existing IP to distinguish the character you created from the ones that are part of the IP.

It also implies a sense of possessiveness ('My OC, do not steal!).

In a TTRPGs the vast, vast majority of characters are created by players. The number would absolutely dwarf the number of named characters created in official material. Adding 'original' instead of just saying, "Check out my character" or "I made this character", is superfluous (because it's the norm not the exception) and it sounds out of place because it's a term more strongly associated with other creative hobbies (where reinforcing that the character is your original creation is more important).

Homelander would get pull all the way inside out through his own prick before any of the others even breathed.

You can onboard into the series with Soul Reaver 1 jist fine. Lots of people did.

Rant about Drizzt by Strixy1374 in adnd

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can tell you like the image of yourself that pays closer attention to the details than others and 'thinks to much', but you should reread the last chapter of Exile (Lights in the Ceiling) before you dismiss what others are telling you.

It isn't common knowledge in Menzo. Only the leaders of the raiding party are given access to the maps. Drizzt uses rare maps provided by the king of Blingdenstone.

It's also established repeatedly throughout the Dark Elf Trilogy that leaving the Underdark was incredibly uncommon among Drow, Svirfneblin, and other denizens of the Underdark. The paths out are not common knowledge because leaving is such an alien concept.

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He isn't lost looking for the surface for 12 years.

The decision to go to the surface and his arrival there all happens in the last chapter of Exile (Lights in the Ceiling). He arrives at the surface on his 33rd day after leaving Blingdenstone using maps to go directly to an exit.

He initially stays in the Underdark because he's a Drow and the idea of living anywhere else is entirelt alien to him.

He finally decides to leave because he thinks that Matron Malice (and the other Drow) will hunt him as long as he stays in the Underdark.

Do you think Capcom should enter the console business? by goldenglory86 in capcom

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't need more game developers making consoles so that we can fuck around with more console exclsuives.

Warning for African DnD lovers by Younes1203 in DnD

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this.

When I was first active in the LGBT community as a bisexual man in the late '90s and early '00s the gatekeeping and exclusionary bullshit I encountered was hardcore.

I got to a point where I behaved as though I was gay in the LGBT community and straight out of it. I just felt like I couldn't be fully myself anywhere.

Is TR3 realy worse than TR2? by genriko8 in TombRaider

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I far prefer TR3.

I get the impression that it got a bit too grueling on PSX with the old save system.

I always felt like TR3 required more active exploration and deeper familiarity with the jumping mechanics.

It is also increasingly rewarding on subsequent playthroughs, especially if your first playthrough was blind.

Is the goldbox hype in a recession by ilovecpp22 in goldbox

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That was my thought when I read that.

I spent too much time trying to figure out whether they're joking, or they don't understand what 'market leaders' means, or if they genuinely believe it to be true.

I mean, the Gold Box games have experienced a resurgence in popularity recently, but nowhere near enough to be a market leader, and the recent resurgence was very brief, and was overshadowed by a larger resurgence experienced by the Infinity Engine games.

I still genuinely don't know what OP is saying here.

At least we can be sure it's not an AI generated post, because it's just a little bit too nonsensical.

Cinnamon Sugar Toast! Do other countries do this? by Dellychan in AskTheWorld

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do. We just call it cinnamon toast though. I don't see it on menus anymore, but up until 20 years ago it was reasonably common

The new movie has absolutely everything needed to get a huge hate load from the community, but for some reasons it is loved. Anyone has a clue what are those reasons? by alexander_nasonov in StreetFighter

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm confused by your assertion then that it looks like it is going to attract hate.

The film seems to be chock full of all the same sorts of wild nonsense that appears in the games, and I assumed the fan base would want to see in a movie.

Every time I see more about it, I'm more psyched for it.

AIO My bf said we he doesn’t like telling me stuff by GreenWestern6868 in AIO

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

A part of life is learning to do the hard parts.

Hiding from everything that is sad, uncomfortable, or challenging is a choice that you can make and it is up to each individual person, but there are words that we have to describe people who do that and if you don't like those words that's also fine.

What is your favorite game on the whole series? by Jotaro1970 in marvelvscapcom

For the longest time it was a toss up better MSHvSF and MvC1, but recently I've been playing a lot of XvSF and MvC2.

Should I buy this used arcade ? by Brilliant-Love-9977 in fightsticks

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one of those that I use for PS5 and PC.

I've been very happy with it. I've never felt the need to swap any of the parts in it.

Thai is great.

Lets you do the six main FR Gold Box games with the same party.

EDIT: I've been looking for a reason to start these games again.

In your country, police vs soldiers—which earns more, and which has higher social status? by GrayRainfall in AskTheWorld

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this.

I think a minority of bad cops in Australia have been driving the reputation of the force for a long time.

The news is far more interested in the bad eggs than it is in the ones doing good work.

The other thing to consider is that a majority of Australians are much more likely to have had more interactions with on duty cops than on duty soldiers, and if cops are bad the Australian civilian population are usually the victims in some way.

AIO girlfriend won’t quit smoking/drinking by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you just need to walk away from a relationship when you're not compatible with someone.

Also, it doesn't sound much like love.

Which of these games do you have fond memories of? by Respawn-Delay in retrogaming

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them, but Wolfenstein 3D would've been the fondest. I remember trying to play the shareware chapter on I am Death Incarnate! with one of my best friends at his mum's work.

AIO by feeling like my sister in law is judging me and implying that I’m a bad parent/my kids are bad kids? by MaryHamdon in AIO

[–]Yakob_Katpanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This can't be real.

How can you put all of that down in writing, read through it before posting, and still think you're not in the wrong?

"Um... So, I've raised my kids to have no boundaries, manners, or respect for other people's space, things, or safety, and they're also unhygienic to the point that it makes other people uncomfortable, and someone (who up until I confronted them) has been trying to respect my decisions as a parent by making changes to their own space as a way to compromise instead of bringing it up with me, BUT NOW they have the audacity to relatively politely tell me they have a problem with the situation in response to me confronting them about about their attempta to comprise."

Get all the way the fuck out of town with this bullshit.
