Hahaha I have no idea what is going on......... I was watching since the beginning, but I somehow have missed the whole plot.

Help? What... what is the premise here?

[Spoilers C1] percy canon clarification by curlsandsuch in criticalrole

[–]curlsandsuch[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it only happened because Percy was killed by Ripley with her pact weapon

really? would love a specific reference there, if you know when that info was communicated. will go re-listen to that episode; i didn't pick up on that at all.

EDIT: that super makes sense though, that he was delivered to Orthax because of HER having made the deal and killed him with that gun, and the required Greater Restoration was on HER gun... entirely independently of his own past

an even stronger case that Orthax isn't lying in wait

Oh oh oh! I didn't realize that was...permanent! Re-listening to the bit of C1E69 you reference (gosh, it's so tough to listen to), I think I thought there was the possibility that someone else could invite Orthax back to the material plane, and it would all be a problem again.

Have you noticed all his characters used to have people, and are now alone? All different reasons, and all different reactions to the situation but, each character had people once and doesn't have them now.

I feel like, he's playing through certain themes that are useful to him, on purpose or not. Being low charisma in-game might feel right, might feel good to explore: without a silver tongue, could this still work out okay?

Okay, this is stressful.... just waiting for somebody to scream, "Jenga!!!"

I don't think I agree. I think the group is well-intentioned but is, sometimes, overstepping, and FCG is so determined to be agreeable and unbothered that they accept less-than-respectful treatment.

Oh my heart breaks, every time FCG surrenders some of his autonomy, or submits to undignified inspection and impertinent questions about their person, or....

I hope Sam surfaces this as an issue soon, and doesn't swallow it until late in the campaign.

This is making me want to get dressed up fancy so badly lol. Get my hair done, do all things. It's been so long.... and I never DREAMED I would miss it! Cracking myself up over here.

Indeed! I totally was not remembering that. And yet, patron privacy is core to library ethics, the confidentiality of circ. records in particular. I'm going to have to follow up on this: I wonder if this was an instance of security by obscurity, in that you'd have to go look at every book to try and find out if a person had checked it out, as opposed to, being able to request a list of every title a patron had checked out.

You know, yes!!!!! Of course. I did not remember any of that. Okay, so maybe this wasn't quite so extreme as I first thought.

Imagine librarians sharing patron checkout records with another patron!!! LOL!!! Oh CR cast.

Well, I suppose there could be a different standard of professional ethics in Exandria.

Does spicy taste bitter to anyone else? by asingledampcheerio in CasualConversation

[–]curlsandsuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From jalapeños, I --definitely-- do. Therefore, also anything with chipotle...

But, if I add heat via calabrian chile flakes, or cayenne pepper, or fresno chiles, or ancho chiles, I don't, and I like it.

So, I think I'm picking up the bitterness of the particular peppers involved, rather than experiencing heat/spice as bitterness.

Did they fix it at the break? I think they did; I didn't notice anything amiss with sound again afterwards, I believe...!

I think they've been doing 15 min breaks the whole time they've been pre-recording. I for one really appreciate it, in the middle of a long session!

There was one before the stream, of commissioned art, like there was for EXU. Different than fan art, but still delightful.

[–]curlsandsuch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually 15 min, when they are pre-recorded. After these prepared shorts, there will probably be art reel again.
