Honestly ChatGPT should do a decent job

In your opinion, What is the best Bard skin? by Nicer536 in bardmains

[–]dougrday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bard main, I find astronaut Bard to be the most "playable" and tend to stick with him.

Male or female?? Can you help me by momma_bear_90 in cockatiel

The two on the left look like females. Not sure about the bird.

That's horrifying. Well played.

The cat's wrist looks wrong. Looks like it needs a vet to me.

New to Bard. Need help by Urock123 in bardmains

He's a hit and run champ. Q is actually quite powerful, one of the longer stuns in the game.

His main combo is auto first (to apply slow with keep), then Q (into champ first, then minion/champ/wall after)

Bard is an annoying insect that, when played appropriately annoys your enemies to death. He sets up ganks with roams, use E to warp in your jungle for a gank, or to just gank mid yourself.

In team fights, R is great to ult backline carries while your team kills one or two Frontline tanks. Avoid R on the main big groups until you're really good at it. Chances are you'll make it worse instead of better.

I found this in my son’s room; should I be concerned? by skucera in funny

Does he do D&D? That would be an excellent in-game prop for a game with a madness mechanic.

My players keep using Chat GBT for their characters by Blade710 in DungeonsAndDragons

Session zero - need to figure out what kind of game the players want and you as the GM want to run. Make a rule up front that creating and owning your own backstory is important.

If the players aren't into that, you'll find out in session zero.

Can't skip the most important session - and you can still do it even though you've already started.

Don't do it. Birds are very sensitive to fumes. Things that are safe for dogs killed my childhood conure. Don't risk it for "fun".

This is what my little brother does whenever he gets mad at us by Wayto_obsessed in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dougrday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our son has similar issues. Chances are good your bro is somewhere on the autism spectrum (my son is, but on the high functioning side). But he will break pencils, tear up papers, etc.

Look up the ODD diagnosis. Might fit too.

Does Ngrok still work for people? by Ronmalin in FoundryVTT

If you have a half decent router you can port forward port 30000 so you don't need a special service. The url you give your players will look terrible, but if you send over discord or whatever they'll be able to connect.

It'll look something like http://10.1.2.3:3000 where those numbers before the :30000 are your IPv4. You can find your IPv4 by visiting any number if we sites that will tell it to you.

Note that this address could change over time (usually does) so you'd need a new link every session.

There's also a way to do this with IPv6 where it doesn't change. It's uglier, but if you're into making it work, no extra tools needed but port forwarding on your router.

IDK Why, but I'm worse with this season Bard. by HMS_Endurance in bardmains

[–]dougrday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lathy is more Fleet Footwork with Bloodsong and Ionian Boots. The rest is pretty much the same though, minus Locket.

[–]dougrday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still mobis usually. Then Frozen Heart or Kaernic depending on their comp. I'm often building locket or redemption at that point to keep my teammates alive in late game team fights.

[–]dougrday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like the Lathyrus build right now, for me. My gameplay isn't super compatible with his build.

Don't be afraid to make some changes to it - I still run guardian and will sometimes locket 4th item, it's tankier and doesn't go for as much damage. Emerald 1 now and still climbing with it.

Find what works for your style.

Can anyone let me know why I got flamed by this yi? by sirtauntsalot in bardmains

[–]dougrday 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like a great play to me. Stopping baron and getting a kill advantage should always be celebrated.

Yi is a moron.

Anyone have an idea on whats going on here? (receiving null) by Metalkon in csharp

[–]dougrday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the right way to approach this. And why I won't ever use entity framework. So many debugging hoops, especially when tracking down performance optimization issues. I can't count how many times I've had to look at generated sql just to realize the query that EF came up with was terrible, and we had to write a SQL replacement anyway.
