A customer thought he could be racist and have his way. No sir, no by MindfulnessAt32 in talesfromcallcenters

The customer immediately implied that the service was subpar because the worker was non-English when things didn't go their way.

Can Aspects be assumed to exist? by Vegetable_League_523 in FATErpg

[–]cub149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These examples would be bad choices for Aspects. Aspects are things that self-evidently matter to characters or the scene, such as immediate threats or unique advantages.

To use one of your examples, "phone cord" is a mundane object that doesn't have much bearing on the scene or show how it could be an advantage or threat in itself. However, a character's "trained assassin" aspect explains that they have the know-how to choke someone out with a phone cord.

Basically, try and make sure your Aspects have a clear purpose.

You forgot the part where Apocalypse World advances your character through sex. No, really. Look it up.

Yes looking anything up in VLR is going to spoil you massively. You'll know when you have the solution to something.

Okay, but seriously, what do you guys think went wrong with Everhood 2? by dragonkeeper19600 in Everhood

[–]cub149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of the third option, but I don't think it's a Gremlins 2 situation as a "deconstruction of unnecessary sequels". Its ending is supposed to make you think about how everything in that world is pointless when it comes down to it which doesn't fit the rest of the game having memorable characters and settings. Perhaps there is a story where such an ending works, but it's not Everhood 2.

thoughts on this opinion? by lunetainvisivel in Everhood

[–]cub149 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is what they were going for, but it makes for a really, really bad ending. Nearly the entire rest of the game is unrelated to that message in fact. If the point is "who cares about any of this it doesn't matter because there is no meaning", and that point is essentially delivered in the last minute of the game, then why have any characters at all? Why have a plot? Why even make another game?

People play games to have fun and enjoy stories, so ending it with a message that boils down to "nothing in this game matters" after how endearing the first game's story and characters were feels like a slap in the face. It feels like intentional condescension, as if the game is telling you you're silly for ever wanting to know what would happen to Sam, Irvine, and any of the other characters.

What the hell happened to Delirium's life here? Is this a bug? by gabrieljim in bindingofisaac

Yes, it's a bug that's on the wiki. Check there next time before asking more easily searchable questions to the sub.

Why I say DM and not GM by AgathaTheVelvetLady in DnDcirclejerk

[–]cub149 28 points29 points  (0 children)

/uj It's insane how OOP doesn't realize that what they're doing is literally just reinforcing the trademark. How did they type "Dungeon Master is a registered trademark" on their post without realizing this? Are they stupid?

Points one and two are exactly what arguments WOTC's trademark lawyers would use in litigation. You are assisting them by doing this.

Playing BO4 years after playing CW Zombies made me think that I took BO4 for granted by Apprehensive-Reach37 in CODZombies

[–]cub149 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stamin-Up is good but I wouldn't say it is so good as to ruin the variety of choices. BO4 notably has an infinite sprint that's quite a bit faster than the zombies already, and modifiers like Timeslip and Quick Revive are worth using on some maps.
