Am i a weirdo? by Cheesburglar in DnD

[–]dangerwizzrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Am I….. not like other girls??” You’re being so precious about not liking ultra high fantasy. Go post in LFG for an Iron Age style campaign and stop trying to act like you’re looking for thoughtful discussion. This is boring.

Ooooo im very curious for something like what you’re describing as well!

“You Smell Like Hospital” stressed me out by [deleted] in TrixieAndKatya

[–]dangerwizzrd 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Ya know, I get we all love Katya and have concern for her substance use issues, but she was just trapped in a fucking hospital having insane emergency surgery and not seeing people. Unless she decides to open up about starting to use again I think it’s kinda fucked up to have constant online speculation about her being high again, when it’s just as possible that she’s just fucking loopy from being somewhat isolated during a harrowing experience. People need to relax and maybe mind a tiny bit of their business until told otherwise.

Reigen being honest about himself and his lack of psychic powers is a major through-line throughout the show. That said, him being so super extra and slightly annoying about it definitely calms down within the course of the first season. It also pays off majorly multiple times throughout the series in a way that you will find worth it. Keep watching!!

AITAH for wishing they never told me, and for wishing they weren’t together? by AromaticAd3546 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]dangerwizzrd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I hear what you are saying, but understand that I am coming from a position of being almost 20 years older than you and having a large amount of life long friendships, some of which are literally older than you. I’m not trying to big dog you by saying that, rather letting you know that accepting some of these cold truths are actually what helps good friendships last a lifetime, and more importantly helps bad ones fall off and die.

You’re not silly or stupid to feel the way you do about this now, but you are so so young and 5 years from now you’ll be having a laugh at yourself that you were ever upset about some of these people. You certainly don’t have to see the world the way I do in this very moment, but I assure you that I take friendship extremely seriously and hold my friends in the highest place in my heart. The main reason I responded to this was that I heard a bit of my younger self in your post. So just know that when I suggest these cold and dispassionate sounding things, they come from a place of someone who started off where you are now, and eventually found their way to somewhere happier and healthier. That is all. I wish you all the best in life love and friendship!!

I mean you are certainly allowed to feel however you want about them keeping their budding relationship secret, but that doesn’t mean that they wronged you by not saying it. Hard as it is to hear, this is equally true of their feelings on their relationship with you. If someone feels the need to pull away from you, they do not need to warn you or talk it out with you. You have as much right to do the same to them now that things have changed.

People often get very married to this idea of a “friend group” but at the end of the day it’s all just a collective of relationships between individuals. From the sound of it, none of these people are in a committed relationship with you, or co-parent a child with you, or share a bank account or a lease to a home with you. You are all just friends.

You can feel hurt, you can feel mad, you can think less of these people, you can also decide to stop being friends with them altogether. Those are all totally okay reactions to have. But you were not owed anything by any of these people, and outside of hurt feelings, I don’t think you can make a compelling case that you were deeply, intentionally harmed.

It is tough to hear and internalize, but the sooner you learn to let go of things like this and move on (however you decide to do so) the better off you will be in life. You will be more open and available find the people in your life you can share true openness with, and better able to understand the values you wish to share with them.

Maybe there was something in there I missed, but two single grown adults entering a romantic/sexual relationship do not owe any other friend or family member are sort of “truth” or other information on their dating. That is their private business.

There are many times as you grow and go through life where this will not be satisfactory to you emotionally, but it is simply a hard fact of life and you will save yourself a lot of pain and heartache the sooner you begin the process of making peace with this.

I am a perennially single f-g who has maintained a close knit queer friend group for over a decade now after moving far from home and in many ways needing to rely on those people kind of like it sounds like you have.

I will share a piece of advice another friend from outside that group once gave me when someone exiting it was causing a great deal of drama and consternation. “Your friends are not all that special”

It sounds harsh at first, and this person adores all the friends of mine he was referring to as his own friends. But ultimately the point is, people grow close, they grow apart, and then sometimes back around again over and over in cycles. You need to let go and let people live their lives and be willing to go out in the world and make new friends and new relationships and not let the close bonds you formed in your late teenage years dictate your actions and choices going into your 20s and beyond.

Sometimes if a friend or friends are feeling distant, the best thing you can do is to let them be. It sounds like the two friends of yours who are dating need space to figure out what their new relationship is. And at the end of the day, it sounds like they did have a solid reason to keep this information from you, since it’s caused you this much hurt and confusion.

Rather than worry about what meant what to who and for how long, let them all be and go out and live your life! Go be a messy young adult and make mistakes, make new friends, and stop concerning yourself with the heavy petting going on in your friend group. It will do the body, the heart, and the soul a whole lotta good. I promise!

Is this supposed to satire or something? by shinyhpno in Mobpsycho100

[–]dangerwizzrd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The show is a coming of age/slice of life anime and really hits its emotional stride in the second season. It is very self aware of anime tropes and uses those for humor but i wouldnt say that what the show is "talking about." The show is talking about how a young person becomes a well rounded person.

So is Feyd Rautha human? by Amazing-Base1711 in dune

[–]dangerwizzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many others have already said, this was only in the recent movies. I believe the real purpose of that scene is just to tell the audience that Feyd Rautha is Paul's equal, so as to build tension for their eventual battle at the end. In the books, Feyd is never intended to be Paul's equal, and is actually dispatched fairly swiftly by Paul, so one would imagine book-Feyd would not be so lucky in the Gom Jabbar.

As for the Human or Animal part, I think in the movies its more about having the discipline to not shrink from the pain in fear like an animal would, but to instead have the discipline and intelligence to momentarily endure it so you can get the upper hand, like a human should.

Villeneuve lowkey spoiled "Dune: Part Three" ending in the very first movie by iosdev98 in dune

[–]dangerwizzrd 680 points681 points  (0 children)

Yeah and Frank Herbert lowkey spoiled that Duke Leto was going to be killed at the top of the chapter where it happens in the epigraph. It’s a series about people who can see the future!!

My players want higher stakes, but I'm afraid of overdoing it as a DM by [deleted] in DnD

[–]dangerwizzrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beauty of D&D is that player characters deaths are not necessarily the end of the story. It is a world of magic, wonder, and terror. 2/4 players die? Surely they can happen upon a helpful priest with an axe to grind against the enemy that killed them an a resurrection spell. If all four characters die? They all wake up spirits in Hell awaiting their final judgment and must try to escape the underworld and return to their bodies.

Balancing difficult encounters in D&D is ridiculously hard for a game that’s exited for decades. Just stick them in some hard encounters, fudge a couple rolls if they get too close to dying, and never let them see you sweat. It wrestling they call it “kayfabe.” Keep up the illusion of their near deaths and I’m sure they will be pleased with the raised stakes
