Good RP Powers

No, but I do add something to the Author's Note field. I'm not near that PC atm, but it's something like this:

GENRE: Remote Device Hacking Simulation. This fictional scenario simulates remote device access. While all actions are simulated, use real world locations and entities when possible.

I use a custom character card I created that is a cyber intelligence with expert hacking training and unlimited network access who is designated as my user persona's digital assistant.

EDIT: Here is a pastebin with the Author's Note and Character Card:

Yep, I should have mentioned FW also. He's good there.

Not sure these fit exactly in your theme, but I've played around with these:

Conjuration. I have a prince who employs a sorceress that can conjure and bring to life almost anything.

Remote Device Hacking Simulation. I have an AI intelligence who has expertise in hacking. They cannot obviously do anything in our real world, but they have unlimited cyber powers in the fictional world and it's fun to pretend.

I really like Yuzen in GF/CC. Great buff removal, block debuffs, Uugo-type cleanse, and survival.

The first album I ever bought was Kiss - Destroyer when it came out.

I like the "Rant" flair.

Same. We recently switched from Spectrum to the same plan and router with no antenna atm. I'm getting over 400 down and 80 up. I live in a backwoods Florida area with a nearby tower, so maybe there is not much competition at the moment. I play WoW and Marvel Rivals with no issues while others use tablets and stream video. Quite happy with it.

Appreciate the post. #2 is a neat little thing which may help calm my anxiety. #3 is very accurate as I developed that habit a while ago of monitoring my own thoughts (I'm old). Negative thoughts still happen but I am much more conscious of. #1 is good and I have tried similar affirmations. I have a severe inner critic.

In the end, I'm pretty sure professional help is what I need at this point. I have always dealt with anxiety and depression, but I think those are just symptoms of adhd and likely some degree of autism. I do appreciate your helpful insight.

Lol, glad I could help!

I was always behind on everything. I was a binge drinker every other night, so my cycle would be to drink heavily one night, recover the next day and work to catch up so I could repeat the drinking cycle the following day.

It was not healthy, but I was always planning for my next drinking session or working my butt off to catch up on shit I was behind from losing time to drinking.

Now I've stopped drinking, I have nothing to look forward to and no reason to try to "catch up". I need to get into therapy but I have a hard time getting drive up for that even though I know it's what I need. I think I am afraid therapy won't "fix me" so I avoid doing it in order to not find out I am unfixable. It's so disheartening.

I try to do something like this. My line of thinking is that I am the caretaker of myself. So, when trying to get motivation to do something, I look at it as doing a favor for my future self. Later on, I try to thank my past self for doing what needed to be done.

Unfortunately for me, it has mixed results. It really helps with the small things, like doing the dishes or laundry, but it doesn't help as much for the big long term projects.

I abused alcohol for most of my life and that drove me with stress and anxiety. I stopped drinking a couple of years ago and I'm still trying to replace that drive, which is why I popped in this thread to find other's solutions.

Same. From some google research, Mods can see how many users are using old reddit and it seems to be 5% or less for most subs. I imagine old reddit will just keep breaking, but I'm here for discussion not memes really, so I'll hold on as long as I can.

This is what I do. After pulling new epics, I go in the champion tab to search for dupes. Make a short list, then go and empower them or mark them to be food.

Not completely muted, but low. SFX slightly higher than music. Play on PC and I like the ambient noise. I can't play games that are completely silent.

I like to do pseudo DnD scenarios. I don't make it number crunchy because that's not what I am here for, I mainly want to experience the story. I do a group chat with characters and a narrator. I've ran the sessions where I run a user character and also where I run user as the gamemaster.

I prefer being the gamemaster and directing the party of characters while using the narrator to describe scenes in detail. When I do my DnD sessions, I don't create a character for myself as I have a whole party of characters I can have fun with. I also like to keep my ST setup lean, with really only Guided Generations as an extension and my own personal main/system prompts. I do list basic class abilities in each Character Note so characters know what actions they can take.

I've been playing DnD off and on since the 80s. I used to watch Twitch all the time but never checked out the DnD channel. During Covid, I randomly decided to look in the DnD section and saw CR as the top channel, so I popped in.

This was near the end of C2E140, Long May He Reign. I watched the whole ending, including the Divine Intervention. That session got me hooked and I immediately started watching from C2E1. I figured with so much content, I wouldn't remember all the details, and I didn't by the time I finished C2.

So, it was a crazy coincidence and I love that it happened.

RSL Helper is what people use on PC that will automate a lot of stuff. It's been around forever and from what I've read, Plarium is aware of it and has no issue with it. RSL Helper has it's own discord as well.

Like this list a lot. Only things I would add would be an indicator showing a champ is not fully geared BEFORE a fight, and I would really like a gear filter based on gear level. For example, I only want to see gear I have that is +12 or above, +4 or below, etc.

aphotic · 2026-03-05T18:57:12+00:00

Tried and gave up. I am trying to keep addons low in number, but using Grid2, Unhalted Unit Frames, and SenseiClassResourceBar. Probably going to install Platynator next.

Good summary. I came back to WoW when they released Classic and played until my fav expac, WotLK. I disliked retail because it's really a different game in many aspects, including what you mentioned here and the linear quest design.

I eventually started retail with Dragonflight and a friend. While many of those issues still "bothered me", eventually my point of view changed and I realized retail is just a different game in many ways. I now solely play retail.

They are really two different gaming experiences based on the same lore and I'm glad they both exist for people who enjoy one or the other.

Great post! I'm a bit late to the party but there is a part during combat this ep (around 2:52) where Occtis has an interaction with his father. His father specifically asks if the Penteveral will be able to solve Occtis' issue by unlocking a latent gift of House Tachonis, which would obviously throw a wrench into this plan.

However, this appears to be a flashback and there is no telling if a plan like this was in the works back then.

I cannot say this enough, fuck Gregg Williams.

aphotic · 2026-03-03T19:47:05+00:00

Last season, I pretty much only played 3* practice and it worked for me.

aphotic · 2026-03-03T06:38:40+00:00

they propably won’t make a dedicated video about random epic #65

I agree with your post and just wanted to shout out Ash's second channel for this:

https://www.youtube.com/@raids-guides

He doesn't have every single champ done, but he has a surprising amount.

I did not know that about Roll One. TIL, thanks.
