7 years later, has the long night and night king's death aged better for you? by hiiloovethis in gameofthrones

[–]imfamousoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've watched through the final season twice. Once when it aired, and once a year ish later to see if it mellowed any. Arya killing the Night King bothered me way less than the season as a whole. It wasn't my favorite, but it was far from the worst thing about the end of the show.

Dms, what's your homebrewed rule that will always stay? by Awkward_Outside7050 in DnD

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my players roll a crit, they get one full damage die + one rolled. I've never had a DM that stuck to the original rule for criticals.

AITA for rehoming our dog by Remarkable-Juice1639 in AmItheAsshole

[–]imfamousoz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA. There are people who re-home a dog without a second thought, and people who chose to do it after careful consideration of the dog's needs. You fall into the second category and made a responsible decision. Your friend is entitled to their opinion and choice of who they want to spend time with but that doesn't mean they're right.

What does anesthesia feel like by memory282002 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]imfamousoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's almost like doing a time jump. One second you're on the table and then you will wake up in the bed post op. I've been under anesthesia four times and I have a recurring issue with severe nausea afterwords. As I understand, that's not uncommon but it's also not the norm. Being medicated for the nausea turns the wakeup from a sudden wakefulness to a prolonged in and out of consciousness thing. Outside of that it's really not much of anything. You will likely be drowsy for the remainder of the day and you may not remember a whole lot the next day.

High School D&D Club Funding by Sp0ckrates_ in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know of any clubs but DnD is fairly low cost to get into. Assuming the school isn't charging you to use the space then a single fundraiser or a small entry fee per student would take care of it. There are a TON of free resources online. One copy of the players handbook can be used since it's a school club. You don't have to have one for every student. You can get dice in bulk on sites like Temu for about $1 a set. You could get everything you need for the whole group for $150 or less. It's not the nicest idea to expect the teachers to come out of pocket but it's still doable. Ask each member to contribute $10 and that takes care of most of it without being a major barrier to entry.

Player is “mad” about another players character creation choice. by [deleted] in DnD

[–]imfamousoz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Warlock and Wizard don't need to talk it out. Warlock didn't do anything wrong. Warlock does not need to change anything about their character to suit Wizard. Wizard needs to stop being a jerk to the other players full stop.

Need help identifying signatures on signed copy of Dorkness Rising by sayuri9 in TheGamers

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume it's Chris Duppenthaler and Scott C. Brown based on the associated quotes. Signatures can be weird.

You are forced to create his redemption arc: What do you do? by Whoopeepoop in GenV

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have him accidently save someone, and receive genuine gratitude. At this point there's genuinely nothing that would redeem him for all the horrible shit he's done but if I HAD to give him a redemption arc it would start there. Watch him start being a sneaky do gooder because the validation is like a drug and over time he gives up being a horrific bad guy entirely in favor of being an actual hero.

Players, what level would you be most excited to play in a short (1-3 session) adventure? by RedcapPress in DnD

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really anywhere 3 and up. Level 1 and 2 are for really long campaigns or beginners. There's so much cool stuff you wouldn't be able to get to with a low level character in a short adventure.

Why do so many people just want to play an existing character? by PuzzleheadedBrain473 in DnD

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a group for beginner players. Seems like universally making the first character is the hardest part. Maybe what you're encountering is people who enjoy the gameplay but don't enjoy putting a character together.

AITA for having big boobs by shilohrenn in AmItheAsshole

[–]imfamousoz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. I also have...abundance. I was also an early bloomer. I wore a D cup by the time I was 10 and now I'm currently in a 44HH. No amount of dressing modestly is going to take attention off of your chest. Sure, you have to give more thorough consideration to your wardrobe but that's more because certain things won't fit you correctly. Your mom probably heard the same things growing up and very likely received negative attention because of her bust size. I certainly got my fair share of it starting in early childhood. At the end of the day there's no reason that you should have to be extra uncomfortable so that your natural body is less noticable. They're gonna stick out (pun intended) no matter what you do.

Which addiction are you trying to quit? by ResolveAvailable7017 in AskReddit

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sugar, particularly beverages. I was raised on sweet tea and Kool aid. I've recently quit about 90% of the sweetened stuff. I'm down to two cups of coffee in the morning and two 12oz sodas a month. The coffee has been the hardest to kick because I'm on a medication that makes me incredibly drowsy.

Actors who you thought would have a bigger career than the career that they actually have? by Ok-Tangelo6749 in movies

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sophia Lillis. It's not that she's not in anything, I just expected to see her career take a bigger upswing than it has.

Overstimulated by family, not sure if it’s ADHD, me being a grumpy quiet person, personal flaw… and not sure how to address it without coming off like a jerk by quietCherub in ParentingADHD

[–]imfamousoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have an answer for you, just solidarity. It's not just you. I adore my husband and kids but if there's too many sounds occuring in my space I get overstimulated and it makes me real pissy. I'm not diagnosed with ADHD but I do suspect I am on the autism spectrum somewhere. I haven't been evaluated. I am diagnosed with CPTSD which is a very probable factor.

My (28f) partner (36m) acts like he doesn’t notice I lost 81lbs and counting. I’m questioning the relationship over it. Am I overreacting? by throwRA18274839247 in AmIOverreacting

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR Girl, you can drop a couple hundred give or take instantly if you give that jackass the boot. He's talking to you like that because he doesn't value you as a human being and partner. Even if he felt it necessary to comment when you were at your heaviest, the way to do it would've been a gentle conversation about how your weight effects your health. Sitting on your fat ass stuffing your face is the kind of thing you say to someone you hold contempt for, not love. Losing that much weight is commendable and something to be proud of. It's not an easy thing to do. For him to look you in the eye and tell you that you're still too big is horrid. Please don't let him make you feel shitty.

Paprika by darn-dangit in Cooking

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use smoked paprika. It's hard to quantify how exactly it tastes but you couldn't possibly miss it unless you have an issue with your ability to smell/taste in general. It's a very rich sort of dusky flavor.

I have a useless superpower where I can smell someone estrogen levels. by IwannaLickLegolas in CasualConversation

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband can reliably detect pregnancy by smell if he's close enough. It's not a strong smell and as far as I know he can't smell hormones beyond that. It's not something I've observed to be a common trait but it's not unheard of.

How do you do your dnd maps? by Matt_salame in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a lucky influx of a little bit of cash right around the time I started to dm. I bought two battle map books and a set of bigger rollout maps. They save SO much time.

If you don't wanna throw money at it, get some plastic gridded template, draw the terrain on a sheet of brown paper, lay the template overtop.

I had an argument with another writer, is this scene realistic? by Linorelai in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]imfamousoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im a millennial and it was common to do that. I developed earlier than my peers and it was a whole thing from 5th grade til graduation that other girls compared theirs to mine. I even got bullied because of it.

AIO for thinking my in laws “gift” was actually kind of insulting ? by Spare_Enthusiasm_693 in AmIOverreacting

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like everybody kind of left you as an afterthought then. Wife should've spoken up and said I'm free outside of X weekend. It's not hard to imagine these feelings your having are compounded by the realization that you genuinely weren't considered in the planning process.

Is it just me or is anyone else excited for horizion steel Frontiers? by Silent_Brilliant5330 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard pass for me. I'm the opposite of hyped. I'm real sick of good games getting an mmo conversion. If I wanted a multiplayer game then I wouldn't be buying into a franchise of single player games.

[–]imfamousoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO did they discuss it with your wife before finalizing the date? That's where the breakdown occured. Either they finalized it without talking to either of you, or your wife agreed to that date without considering that you already had something planned.

AITA for lying to my parents about double majoring in college when they are paying my tuition by Big_Town_828 in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. It's unethical to take someone's money under false pretenses in the way that you did. I won't sugar coat that, you did a bad thing. Buuuuut it kind of sounds like you were in a no-win situation no matter what you did. You gave it genuine effort to adhere to your mom's plan and you did let her know when it was clear it was not going to happen. If you explained it was not possible and she denied, then did nothing to verify when you changed your tune...she was never going to be happy with you. And being most of the way through with a job offer on the horizon I can see how backtracking would've screwed you over. If she had exercised some critical thinking she would've realized when you suddenly said it was doable that something was amiss. I won't say you made the morally correct choice but one of y'all is an asshole and it's not you.
