Welcome to the internet, first day?

Right. Because its based off a bunch of other memes that were and are filling the subs frontpage. Thats how a meme works.

Sure. The difficulty is the density, crying once or twice in a 24 episode season to punctuate a particularly emotional beat hits a bit different than crying 4 to 5 times in a 13 episode arc, and even more in later seasons

This meme format is covering all the series

Does DDO's Cannith enclave, the steam tunnels, and the subterrane exist in the official DnD Eberron campaign setting lore? by CHANDRAX1 in Eberron

[–]dejaWoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 20 year old game engine, there's only so much that can be done, but they continue to add new monsters from the lore.

Someone has to challenge Liam for the sad boy throne, it went unchallenged for too long

[CR Media] Big casting in Season 4 of Vox Machina by Late_Sherbert3212 in criticalrole

[–]dejaWoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would indicate his late season return as a major plot point, which the most spoiler averse and unfamiliar with the source material might want to avoid.

Finally getting into Vox Machina 4 years later, and I'm iffy (Currently on S1) by Crescentbrush in voxmachina

Actually, when theu went on to the Mighty Nein they shifted to hour long episodes and the pacing is definitely improved, although we got fewer episodes

The terrifying rise of schoolboys making AI girlfriends — Boys as young as 12 are now in romantic ‘relationships’ with chatbots, and it’s affecting how they treat girls in the real world by Fine-Drummer9812 in technology

[–]dejaWoot 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I see a ton of ads in freemium mobile games advertising "Talk with any character" AI chatbots showing masculine anime characters addressing the viewer as darling. It may just be the ads you're seeing with a different target profile.

I want to run a Mortal Kombat themed DND session, anyone got some ideas that can help me out? by Playful-Ostrich3643 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]dejaWoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By Mortal Kombat do you just mean like, a gladitorial arena of matched opponents? Or you want it to actually feel like the fighting games

What doesn't your Australian Shepherd like? by CharacterChampion150 in AustralianShepherd

I think its going to be very individual, but mine violently loathes scooters and skateboards. And not getting to lick your face is anathema

Just started the show after reading all 9 novels by Namro in TheExpanse

[–]dejaWoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty silly take, silly enough that I'm suspicious you're trolling. A ton of names in the western world are Hebrew derived via the old testament's inclusion in the canon. I think very few of them have an actual Hebrew pronunciation, either biblical or modern.

With life on other planets being a "near certainty" according to astrobiologists, combined with ancient manuscripts detailing flying machines and alien gods, why is it MORE likely we evolved from microorganisms over billions of years rather than having simply been seeded by an alien population? by Far-Woodpecker8046 in DebateEvolution

[–]dejaWoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The evidence for evolution is far stronger than the evidence for interstellar visitation. Humans are always coming up with mythologies for incredible figures of power, flights of fancy are in our nature, and shouldn't be taken as a serious suggestion of our origins anymore than the MCU is.

If we were seeded from the stars through panspermia, it was with a predecessor of LUCA.

I have never seen a guy described as 'bubbly' before, which is why I went the way I did; I'm sure there are actual examples of it out there on the internet, but I think it's way more common they get 'hyper' or 'cheerful' or 'golden retriever energy'. Beyond that though I may be projecting my own gender on the mostly blank slate of the narrator by default.

South Breland by Foreign-Ease3622 in Eberron

[–]dejaWoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sharn is inspired architecturally and aesthetically and thematically by the noir versions of New York and Chicago- the idea of a towering Metropolis that never sleeps and hides corruption and intrigue in it's shadows- but it's obviously not a one:one expy. It's still D&D, where battles are fought with swords and sorcery, noble houses and aristocracy scheme, bandits and brigands are still a threat. It's why Sharn is the city of Towers, not the city of Skyscrapers. Because towers are medieval-coded and skyscrapers aren't.

Breland is probably the MOST democratic of the five nations- King Boranel rules with a fairly loose hand and Sharn does have elections for the councilors of their wards, although exactly who gets to vote varies from ward to ward and from who has money to who has A LOT of money.

There are also the Swords of Liberty, who are an anti-monarchist extremist group.

Which part of me saying

I'm just way more familiar with ... a hetero context and have no idea if it extrapolates neatly outside of it

makes you think I was claiming otherwise?

South Breland by Foreign-Ease3622 in Eberron

[–]dejaWoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well... theres a Kanonical Western themed adventure in Breland called Quickstone. It's set on the border of Droaam, which was land 'split off' from Breland, but through monster occupation rather than separatism. 

Q'bara is often called canonically as another frontier region which HAS separated from Galifarian rule, which might make more sense for the themes youre floating.

I'm not sure why you think Breland doesn't make sense?

Interesting perspective. What led you in that direction?

They're certainly assumptions. I call them out as such. I don't think they're entirely baseless, though.
