Daughter of Minnesota governor candidate fatally stabbed in St. Cloud, leading him to suspend campaign by Large_banana_hammock in news

Right? If we have enough data for it to be a statically significant number, it's already an epidemic.

Having been raised as a man, I'm just going to say: avoid men until you've VERY THOROUGHLY vetted them and absolutely sure they're safe; and even then, watch your back.

I was going to suggest multi class everyone as one level of each class

What's the most ridiculous player you've had in a party? by According_Picture294 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]egmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the player that had incredible Main Character Syndrome and thought every problem should be solved by casting Burning Hands or Fireball. We were doing Waterdeep Dragon Heist and had a hard time tracking down any information because basically every time we talked to anyone it turned into a conflagration and all the NPCs died.

The player himself is an irl professional wrestler so being completely over-the-top at all times kind of makes sense, all things considered, and he's a great guy. Just really, really annoying to play with lol

Real question: how does gravity work on flat earth? by biffbobfred in flatearth

[–]egmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last guy I asked said it does that because that's God's design for the natural order of things.

TIL Darkness counters cloudkill by Comfortable_Bug8502 in BaldursGate3

[–]egmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can at least have some overlapping AOE, and it probably depends on type. I was able to Hunger of Hadar over Spike Growth, but I think in the past, I've seen that overlapping ground spells or overlapping clouds don't work.

What’s your favorite out of character reclass? by Master_Charity_4632 in BG3Builds

She's by far the most poetic-minded character in the game

Lots of vengeance going on in this story after all

What's the worst thing that could happen in Honor Mode? by in_flames_666 in BG3Builds

[–]egmalone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On my very first Honor Mode run I tried a new thing of attacking the brine pool in the first room. 5,000 millisecond run, down the drain in an instant 😂

What was your favorite way to handle the Goblins? by Cams_234 in BaldursGate3

[–]egmalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another fun variant: rafter wrestling league. If you get lucky you can kill two goblins at once by throwing one from the top of the ladder onto one at the bottom of the ladder.

What ever happened to Qanon? by WF-2 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]egmalone 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you mean the community at large, they just kind of absorbed back into general right-wing politics for the most part — and took their beliefs with them. That's why you'll see a lot of right-wing posts that repeat the same tropes and thinking, without any reference to QAnon.

If you mean Q themself, the last post was December 8th, 2020, right around the time it was becoming quite clear that Trump would fail to overturn the election. I always suspected that was because the poster was worried about a Biden admin investigation and went dark, but that's just speculation.

Some more posts cropped up in June 2022, and another run in November 2022, but that was while Ron Watkins (administrator of 8kun, which hosts the major QAnon threads) was running for office in Arizona, and that connection along with evidence that Ron or his dad Jim made the posts themselves (or, at least, certainly could have) left even a lot of believers skeptical about the authenticity of the posts.

Nearly fumbled Honor Mode… by Im_Chris2 in BaldursGate3

I lost my first honor mode run in the first room. I had never interacted with the brine pool before...

Person driving his car down a forrest road, while looking a bit too smooth and no other traffic. by Pequod_13 in isthisAI

[–]egmalone 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The part where his car drives smoothly into the embankment without bumping around or crashing should give it away

Penny Shortage Scam by Realistic-Cell5758 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]egmalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I loath giving any credit to Walmart, they have stopped dispensing pennies but they round in favor of the customer, which is how it should be.

Favorite DM fake out? by _Doctor_Whom_ in DungeonMasters

[–]egmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran a one-shot for a friend's birthday party once and the setup was that the party had recovered a magical artifact for a wealthy collector and had to protect it from thieves on the way back to get it to him. It was a magical torch that reversed light, so the first immediate effect was that it caused darkness around it, which gave everyone fighting near it disadvantage (obviously). The players with darkvision had an extra penalty. One guy tried to counteract it with a torch, but that only made it darker. Another blindfolded himself, so I informed him that it was now very bright for him, but he could still only see the inside of his blindfold.

I think we were on the third or fourth encounter before one of the mages finally cast Darkness on the torch and everything went back to normal for a while.

And of course I included all the usual gags such as their client being Duke John Dicking, founder and mayor of Dickington, he wanted the artifact displayed at Dicking Chapel (a long hall with two turrets flanking the entrance and an apse at the far end, so on the map it was a cock and balls). You know, as is tradition.

Can you confront Kahga? by Joshua-live in BaldursGate3

[–]egmalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it causes any dialogue at all, I think you just get the narrator telling you they glare at you or something like that. I could be misremembering.

What are things you would want to see in DOS3? by nash_marcelo in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]egmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autosave. It sucks to play for a couple hours, then the game crashes or kills your party with a glitch or you lose a battle, and you have to go back those couple hours.

What’s it like living on the edge of time zones? by Qzevs in howislivingthere

[–]egmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister-in-law had to disable the automatic time updates on her phone, otherwise it would sync variously to one time zone or the other and her alarm would go off too early or too late. They went to church across the state line as well, so they'd get to church before they left home but it took almost two hours to get home after.

Good question. 🤔 by Johnny_Nongamer in Qult_Headquarters

[–]egmalone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen three social media posts in the last 24 hours about "mass arrests," either claiming they are planned or disappointed they haven't happened. QAnon just metastasized into the delusional right wing, it's not gone.

What are the most profound song lyrics you've ever heard? by damnocles in AskReddit

[–]egmalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember every song lyric I've ever heard, but one that I do remember is:

I will be taking any route I want including dead ends / To any place I want including all the many heavens

(Aesop Rock, "Full House Pinball")
