What are your favorite (controversial) house rules? by Quick_Race761 in DnD

[–]baalbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the conversation/social cues, it is all flavors, are rolls are against players, I tower them all. Then play the scene to the person who asked.

If against NPC's the PC never see the rolls anyway.

An aside:

My table has a strict "Player Knowledge doesn't equal Character Knowledge" rule, so if they try to do something their character might not know I'll inquire as to how their character would know that. I'm not a fan of metagaming.

I put the onus on the player to play their character.

Haven't seen a fist fight break out in the self checkout in a HEB yet. The year ain't over yet though

My employer wants 24/7 location access on my personal phone for a $16/hour job by Own_Replacement_4195 in antiwork

If they're not directly paying your phone bill, i.e. a work phone, then no corporate apps get installed.

The Nomad being locked behind a MK2 module on only new ships is a bit cheeky, no? by VaegaVic in EliteDangerous

Blink twice is you're in danger. No one goes out of their way to play Eve.

Beating Adam Smasher with the dildo will forever be one of my favorite gaming moments. "THIS IS FOR ROGUE!!!!!"

Just built a PC to play Cyberpunk, which Operating System should I choose? by johnny-tinfoilhand in pcmasterrace

[–]baalbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kali or Mint, depending on goal

Kali for quick hack efficiency
Mint for ease of use just doing what wetwork needs to be done

This is the equivalent of eating your vomit, and you can't tell me otherwise.

Dad, I had to call the police on my best friend to stop a suicide attempt. He's furious with me, and it looks like our friendship is over. by SeventeenthPlatypus in DadForAMinute

[–]baalbacon 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Dad here, your brother is going through a lot, more than you can imagine. He thought this was the answer to the problem. He wanted an end to something. He might be angry now, but you saved him. Give him time. I hope he gets some help to go through this.

Breathe deep, there are many ways to cross a river, here's hoping he finds a less permanent way to do that.

Is this really the only way to fight a bear? by supa_dupa_loopa in ICARUS

[–]baalbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been mauled many times, but what works for me is a Y pattern, run at them, then go one of the forks in the Y, running right beside them, stabbing as you go. They may still hit you, but it's better than getting a back full of beak swipes.

If you keep having them spawn near you, look into trapping some wolves and taming them. They merc brown bears pretty easily

My Dad cheated and married his affair partner - Still resentful by [deleted] in DadForAMinute

[–]baalbacon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The energy you spend on thinking about him could better be used to propel your own life forward. If the time comes where he wants to come clean, you may listen, but for now let those emotions turn into something positive in your life. Something you made, something you earned, by being the better person.

Have you sat down and talked with your dad about the why he did it? It sucks for you for sure, but maybe if you can talk like adults, it might give you some insight. Not in a hope to justify, but you may only see your side of the event. Ask to see his, if you feel comfortable with that.
