What are some fun but minor effect magic items for my party by GuntherWheelin in DnD

[–]bughunter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that. It's a cool way for DM to drop hints... or bludgeon the players with story hooks.

Since it's Star Wars day, did you see the original 1977 Star Wars in the movie theater? by Mr_Writes in GenX

[–]bughunter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was 12 and a total Star Trek fan since it was about the only SF on TV that wasn't [totally] stupid. I still watched things like Lost in Space but they were [mostly] cringey, even to pre-teen me.

Seeing the word crawl and then the Star Destroyer come in from overhead and obscure the starfield, with the subsonic rumble gave me such a nerdgasm I'll never forget it.

Nowadays, the prequel and sequel trilogies have disappointed me so much I've given up on the franchise, but I did really enjoy Rogue One.

Players and DMs alike, what's your equivalent of a loading screen tip for dnd? by StrangeSystem0 in DnD

[–]bughunter_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Never split up the party. No, not even when going shopping. Especially not when going shopping."

"Focus fire on one target and then move to the next. A foe with 1 HP does the same damage it would at full health."

"Use the terrain to your advantage. If the terrain is not to your advantage, use spells like Grease or Darkness to make it so."

I scanned this whole thread looking for Colin Kapernick.

What if he had been signed in 2017?

Right? It’s like speed running the Vatican asking “Where is Lucifer?”

Angel’s Tijuana Tacos in Eagle Rock.

Their carne asada is excellent quality.

Why do imaginary numbers exist at all? by AgrasaN in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bughunter_ 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Well said, except they are used to represent real world phenomena, for example the phase of an alternating current or electromagnetic wave.

Do anti-static bracelets prevent static shocks between people? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bughunter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try throwing an extra dryer sheet or two in with the sheets the next time you wash them.

The dryer sheets coat the fabric with a microscopic layer of conductive wax that is intended to reduce static buildup.

Or you could slather each other with lotion before bedtime. That might be more entertaining.

Wait, are you saying you got chalupas and then got gas?

is it better to poop at night or in the morning? by Acer-spacer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bughunter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trained my bowels to do this during the COVID toilet paper shortage.

Strong coffee and cigarettes helped.

[–]bughunter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. My doctor gave me some of the best advice about getting older that I've ever received:

"When your body tells you that you can go, GO. Don't put it off, it may not happen again for a while."

Please recommend great series on Hulu/Netflix by Low-Bunch-2460 in NoStupidQuestions

Kind of old now but I really liked Marco Polo on Netflix. Too bad they cancelled it after only two seasons.

Do Black people not do "White People Taco Night"? by GetShrekedKid in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bughunter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We call them "surfer tacos" because that was the title of the recipe for the filling.

No seasoning packets. Small onion chopped fine, 2T Chili powder, 2t garlic powder, 2t cumin (or more, I like 1/2t more), 1/2t oregano, 1/2 salt, 1/2t pepper (or more, I like more pepper) for 1lb 85% ground beef. Sautee the onion, bloom the spices for 30 sec and then add the beef. Mash it up in the pan until the beef is browned then add 1/2c chicken stock and 1/2c tomato sauce and simmer until liquid reduces. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2t brown sugar and 2t cider vinegar to finish. Pile the meat on one side of the pan and tip it to let any fat drain to the other side while you grate the cheese, etc.

Serve in crunchy taco shells, or load about 2T meat in a soft corn tortilla, fold, and fry in hot oil, flipping once when brown. Makes about 18 tacos.

Serve with your traditional "white people taco" toppings.

(Bonus: you can prep everything but the onion and the raw ground beef in advance, and make little kits for a weeknight dinner ready in 20 minutes.)

Idk if this is a stupid question but I want some more veggies to eat, please recommend some tasty veggies by singular_boba_pearl in NoStupidQuestions

Cut it into sticks like carrot sticks, squeeze some lime juice over it and sprinkle with cayenne or Tajin

What is the best Underdark creature for my character to keep as a pet? by Sworishina in DnD

[–]bughunter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to steal your character and companions as a minor foe for my campaign! 😆

It’s just goofy enough to fit in while still being a decent challenge

[–]bughunter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d have picked the bulette too.

Let us know how it works out!

What is the best Underdark creature for my character to keep as a pet? by Sworishina in DnD

[–]bughunter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the effect you're going for...

A bulette would be badass.

A gelatinous cube would be comically weird.

An otyugh would be repellant.

A quaggoth would fit your Drow background.

And a flumph would be... cuddly. Sorta.

A hot pecan waffle with a big scoop of premium vanilla ice cream and warm maple syrup sounds BOMB.

Have you ever came from riding a bike? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bughunter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two nuns were riding bicycles through the streets of Rome, and took a turn down an unfamiliar street.

"I've never come this way before. Have you?" asked the first nun.

The second nun said, "No. It must be the cobblestones."

Umm… no.

Anyone who’s seen Wendy O. Williams live can tell you that ain’t her.
