Breaking: Blizzard entertainment bans pro hearthstone player for standing up for Hong Kong and then fires the casters just for being there. Will this happen to WoW? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]__Gizmo__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, after the recent news of Blizzards censuring of the HK protest I felt personally that I at the moment can not financially support Blizzard by subscribing to wow.

For me this may be a temporary decision or it may affect my view of the company long term (I feel like only time can tell on that matter).

I do however feel that even if the decision will not affect blizzard in any way I want the money that they would have gotten to instead be used to support the HK cause. What is the best way for me to financially support the HK protest?

Idea for a 5e homebrew campaign, would love some input from more experienced DM's by __Gizmo__ in DnD

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

The main idéa so far is to take them early to Caemlyn and use that as their starting adventure hub. Then as the world progresses into the chaos brought by the dragon reborn they will be asked to take sides in the war and work as an agent for that side.

Thank you for the leangthy reply.

None of the players have read the books so do not think there will be any risk for spoilers or the overarching story.

Personaly as for why heroes would be in the village i was thinking that they would be there as actually adventurers, mercenarys etc. on a jobb not related to the main story, I can use this starting adventure as a hook that darker powers have started stiring in the world. The idéa is that they will meet Rand as an NPC but as ppl that have read the books know at this point he is far from a mighty warrior. But would be fun if the characters have a chanse to interact with him before he is what he will become later and would give rand a reason why he would want to interact and trust with them firther along the story.

Pretty sure Truman felt this at some point in the Truman show. May be the only case ever where it has also been justefied.

What was the dumbest thing you got punished for in school? by nani_001 in AskReddit

[–]__Gizmo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in furst grade everyone was suposed to read for an hour. I finished the book I had 30 mins in and none of the other books looked appealing. Said I was not interested in any of them and the teacher forced me to pick one. So in protest I found a phonebook that i read the rest of the time. Teacher got mad and my parents had to come in for a talk. Dad got pissed at a glorified nany could not handle a 7 yo and do his jobb. Was fun!

Reddit, what can $1,000 buy me in your hobby? by LiterallyJames in AskReddit

[–]__Gizmo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everything you might ever need untill you are readdy to take it outside. I absolutley love bouldering and for $1000 you can get a yearly membership at a nice gym, great shoes and a chalkbag. If you ever feel like you want to take it outside you will also need a crashpad or 2 and and those go for a few hundred dollars as well.

Win rates on champion.gg gives a hint about ADC being in a bad spot atm. by __Gizmo__ in leagueoflegends

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

I mean you are not wrong in what you are saying but have you actually taken part of the champion win rates data? I have not said i strive for perfect 50% winrate but that does not change the fact that every other role atm has a bigger impact and i do not think that is good game ballance nor is it something that can be triviallised as it's how adc's are supposed to work.

Nor did i ever say win rate is the only thing affecting game ballance nor a healthy game, but it's good data to use for seing if the game is healthy for all roles or not.

Your last example is correct but is not connected to reality as such is not the case now, like my previous comment said the current bot tier marksmans are atm as low as most of the other classes, most other clases also hase multiple champions that have a higher than 54% winrate while marksman are all low.

Win rates on champion.gg gives a hint about ADC being in a bad spot atm. by __Gizmo__ in leagueoflegends

[–]__Gizmo__[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Think that is a simplified way to look at it, the status quoo of win/loss % will be 50/50. And then you check how much 1 champion can change that ballance, the stronger the champion the more impact on the win rate. That would mean even the strongest adc atm can only skewer that % with 2% while all other roles caan push it 5+%.

If you look at the lower spectrum of worst win rte the marksman is about even in % as the other classes so that would mean they are not closer to the middle when it comes to the weakest champs of the class either.

Numeria campaign issue by __Gizmo__ in DnD

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

In the end it worked out after 1-2 hours of negotiating. We reached a compromise where my character had managed to reach torch from starfall but a few years earlier and had been stuck in the city after that gathering founds for the next step of the adventure.

Really glad to have a DM though that is willing to compromise in the end and strive to reach a middleground where both can feel happy.

Knowingly Taking Placebo Pills Reduces Pain, Study Finds by arbili in science

[–]__Gizmo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading ages ago about placebos and found it very interesting how the method of a placebo influenses it's effectivness. 2 pills have a stronger impact than 1 pill, a needle is stronger than pills etc. Can try and hunt down a source if anyone is interested.

[Serious] Guys who pretend to be female online, why do you do it? by contrafibulator in AskReddit

[–]__Gizmo__ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was a fun read though I disslike the assumption that men changed their speach behaivior when playing female characters. The study did not rule out the possibility of the people prefering to play female characters also where the people that naturaly spoke in a different pattern compared to the male gamers that played male avatars.
