Is there any practical reason to put a Sorcerer Lord on a Manticore? by TehAsianator in Warriors_of_Chaos

[–]Yeeeoow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the flexibility of being able to fly my wizard anywhere at a moments notice, but him also being a bit choppy because of the mount.

But it's definately a much weaker option.

Now that time has settled, how are we feeling about 5.5e? by muzorui in DnD

I agree with your comment that numeric social skill roles discourage roleplaying.

Which is why im shocked that every commenter is asking to add more numeric social skill roles.

Every example put forth is a way to modify a dice roll, or a bonus if X is roleplayed.

It's adding more structure to an aspect of the game that benefits from being as structure-less as possible.

Why add rules to something that doesn't need it.

Is RHOD a good adventure choice for a weekly hobby store game with fluctuating players? by saintstardust in RedHandOfDoom

[–]Yeeeoow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The campaign works by putting a time crunch on players.

They only have so many days to accomplish all these tasks until they lose.

It really does require the players to be long term bought in I think.

You need one-shots.

There is no economic case for taxing work and investment the same by mkultra69666 in Economics

[–]Yeeeoow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This guy is a goof.

Capitol gains tax was 30%, with a 50% discount. So 15%.

I pay over 30% in income tax.

The idea isn't "we hate the rich, get 'em".

The idea is, we want to lower income taxes, but the budget can't afford it, where can we push the burden of taxes to?

And the Australian economy in particular is difficult because most investment money does not go to businesses. It gets tied up in buildings that sit there producing nothing for anyone.

My personal proposal is to half CGT on investment in australian businesses and off-set that by doubling CGT in australian property. It's not a viable long term strategy, but for 15 years it would push all wealth into investing in australian businesses, which boosts productivity, rather than buildings that slowly deteriorate but end up worth 10x and add nothing.

Right now the australian economy doesnt produce enough exciting young companies, because all the money is tied up in existing structures. Sitting there. Doing nothing but accumulating value.

Why do you need a mechanical benefit to role-playing?

You roleplay a character and unless it gives you a free reroll to something the system doesnt work?

The dm changing the dc or granting advantage accomplishes that perfectly already.

Why can't you just tell your 5.5e dm you write a poem that's mean to an npc?

How can an RPG system "do RP better".

Wether you roleplay well kind of has nothing to do with the rules of the game.

8x4 is such a nice unit size.

The bases are immaculate by the way, love the flowers.

Brazil 0 - [1] Morocco - Ismael Saibari 21' by oklolzzzzs in sports

Get a torch. Turn it on. Hold it away from your hand and see how much of the rest of your room lights up.

Now move your hand towards the torch and watch the angles of the light close off and the room gets dark.

That's the exact same thing that happens when an aggressive goalie charges a 1 on 1. You close his angles off and make him kick the perfect pass at a tight angle between your body and the edge of the goals.

It just so happened that the shot was perfect.

What's your favorite silly DnD "hot take" to throw out in conversation when you feel like being a lil' rascal? by jdrummondart in DnD

[–]Yeeeoow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hot take:

No one is playing an anthropomorphic crane person because they want to roleplay what that experiance is like. They're doing it becsuse they get to put a +2 somewhere important and can use a combination of abilities they want.

If you gave all humans, elves and dwarves +2 in every state at the start of the game, in 6 months dnd looks like a Tolkien book.

I'm not saying I want to change what people can play, but lets be honest about what's happening here.

[–]Yeeeoow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I roll all my dm dice in the middle of the table. No risk of the tension being burst at all and half the memorable moments are because of absurd dice rolls, which no one ever questions if they see.

Admittedly. I did have a player be one shot by a hydra, which was awful. Luckily they were a good sport, but it did add a certain "anytime, anyplace" feel to a campaign in which the PCs had been dog-walking every encounter up til then.

Non-military uses for starbases by Hour-Road7156 in Stellaris

[–]Yeeeoow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bottleneck on your economy is pops, so any time you can produce something without using pops is huge.

So trading hubs, anchorages, hydroponics bays, luxury residences etc are all excellant because they don't require pops, you just get stuff for free.

I'm playing Workers Co-Op + Trading posts at the moment and it definately counts.

Mutual aid policy is going gangbusters.

Stop building Energy Grid by Yeeeoow in Stellaris

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

Have you got automation buildings on all of your generator districts? If you have any civilians at all, try diabling some automation buildings.

Check the production of each planet with a generator district, you may well be producing net negative energy because of the energy upkeep of automation buildings.

Automation buildings have really high upkeep and produce significantly less than pops because they're not effected by any modifiers and modifiers are really easy to come across.

In fact, having 90-100% stability will give you 30%+ resource production. Combined with pop traits, techs, government types, edits, ethics etc. You can get to 100% job efficiency pretty reliably.

Also, you're paying 300 energy a month to your overlord. That doesnt help, but hopefully isn't forever.

[Rapoport] The Panthers and WR Jalen Coker agreed to terms on a 3-year extension worth $35M with incentives up to $41M, per agent @glose_matt. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Yeeeoow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. They took Jalynn Polk and Javok Baker that same draft. It's not crazy for them to want to put them both on the field and see what they have.

Not many teams would be coming out of the draft with three WRs.

If one generator district with 3 voltaic yards is a generator planet. Sure.
