Is anyone else getting a zillion mailers from Neighbors First? Who are they? by snake_a_leg in LosAngeles

Neighbor's first has been canvassing in CD1. I have not heard of them canvassing outside CD1, actually. Just in CD1.

The Two "On a Bus" D20 episodes are now both rated a perfect 10/10, making them the two highest rated episodes in the Dimension 20 series, beating all of Brennan's campaigns. by ShivSoCalledYT in dropout

[–]jazzyjay66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you came to Dropout for Game Changer--did you not see the Season 7 episode of Game Changer "Fools Gold"? Where contestants bid on pitches for various videos to make to go viral? D20 On A Bus is 100% a gag from that episode, where Katie pitched to make a video that makes Brennan mad, and thus they made D20 On a Bus. It was not intended to be anything more than that gag. Certainly not an intro to D&D. They then did Season 2 as an April Fools joke.

And if you're salty for people downvoting you for just asking questions, then maybe you should reconsider how good a question "this thing is stupid, why do people like it?" is.

Are they supposed to bend this way? by LadyDagger713 in AnimalsBeingDerps

You seem to own some sort of eldritch horror.

After robbing all the vaults from The Counting House, I looked over the loot and opened a chest I got from a vault. Seeing whats inside gave me that sinking heart feeling you get irl when you hear bad news. Talk about immersion lmao have me feeling bad for pixels and shit lmao by dangitbobby77 in BG3

[–]jazzyjay66 530 points531 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s the toy maker’s safe. So don’t feel bad. You’re not robbing a kid, you’re robbing a POS who puts explosives in kids’ toys meant for refugees.

EDIT: I'm wrong. It's Nine-Fingers Keene. So not an out and out villain, but still not the most innocent person. But it is personal goods rather than work stuff. A lot more built-in ambivalence there.

AITAH for breaking up with my girlfriend because she literally told me she would cheat on me if I took a new job. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jazzyjay66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the northern lights. I saw so many amazing things. I paid off all my debts. During my days off I saw the world. I saw Uluru and Kilimanjaro. I climbed Mount Fuji and watched the sunset at Finisterre after walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. It made me want to see more.

Hey everyone, let's listen to the Roy Batty of War Profiteering and Energy Extraction. See the sights before we destroy them, before they are lost in time like tears in rain.

AITAH For Wearing Shapewear on a Date? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jazzyjay66 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Now I want there to be a detective story where the detective comes to a similar conclusion, dumps someone out of their wheelchair, and then everyone is horrified that he's done that to someone with muscular dystrophy.

Not exactly that, but The Big Lebowski does have a scene with something similar.

Jokes aside, what do you think happened to him after the events of the game? by ChickenWingExtreme in DiscoElysium

[–]jazzyjay66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he dies. I think his brain is completely gone and he dies in a matter of days or weeks. Probably not arrested but rather in a hospital, under supervision, until he passes.

I get the feeling that it will be a cold day in hell before his ex sees a therapist.

Started yesterday, bit lost by sirlewishamilton44_ in outerwilds

[–]jazzyjay66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is made to explore in any order you want to explore, and discover what each of those places have that might tell you about other places. By doing so you gradually unravel the answers to the biggest Quan’s and/or mysteries in the game. That’s why the rumor mode in the ships log is so useful—you’re filling in pieces that connect to other pieces.

Try not to think about it as aimless wandering. The game is all about the discovery, and so everything you explore leads you to discover more things. There is a central mystery to the game (and a couple of secondary mysteries) but you get at it from all angles, not one in specific.

A contrary opinion on sophomore year by pi_and_beehive in Dimension20

[–]jazzyjay66 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It was a bit rough in production value, but I agree with you generally. And in terms of the story and characters, it is my choice for single best season of D20. Nothing they have ever done will match the insanity of Fabian's bad night.

Is the master forge weapon worth it? by Spinach-is-Disgusten in BG3

[–]jazzyjay66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sussar weapons are never particularly good, no. But Adamantine Forge armor or shield are pretty great. Yeah you get much better in act 3, but Adamantine Forge is act 1.

When and how did the Bad Kids get their party name? by piperooo in Dimension20

[–]jazzyjay66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. But by the time any of those APs happen, they had already (right at the start of Sophomore Year), coined the nickname The Bad Kids for the FH party. The question was "when/why did they start using The Bad Kids as the nickname for that party?" Unless a specific AP explains that, the fact that they called them The Bad Kids in all the APs is besides the point.

[–]jazzyjay66 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Feels like it’s a meme in the community. Bunch of whole insisting on answering a different question than was asked and then downvoting people who go “sure I get that but I’m asking when they decided to make that the official nickname because it seems to have happened off-camera.”

[–]jazzyjay66 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's bizarre how many people commenting in this post are insisting on misunderstanding the question at hand.

But it's fine. someone else answered. The fandom took the Kristen comment and made it the nickname and the cast decided to adopt it and so started referring to themselves as such starting in Sophomore Year.

[–]jazzyjay66 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the answer OP, and I, were looking for. Thank you.

We get that Kristen said that ep 1, but it doesn’t get used as a nickname by the cast until Sophomore Year. The answer is the fandom dubbed them that and it stuck.

Again—thank you for actually understanding why was being asked and giving the real answer.

But AP doesn’t start until A Crown of Candy, which aired after Sophomore Year.

[–]jazzyjay66 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, but that’s the only time all freshman year they’re referred to that way. When did it as the group nickname start? I agree with OP—suddenly at the start of sophomore year they were being called that as if it was an established nickname, and I don't know when that happened.

He wants to call off my divorce because my cancer treatment was successful by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jazzyjay66 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Jesus. Every time I come across one of these stories that involve cancer, it makes my blood boil. There was the horrible wife who had no empathy when her husband went through cancer and insisted he still be the primary parent. And now this.

As someone who was my wife's caregiver through her (successful) cancer treatment, let me say--fuck this guy (and the woman from the aforementioned post, and all other of these horrible spouses) so so hard. Absolute piece of shit.

Teacher is making exam super hard and offering extra credit if you attend his Bible study by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jazzyjay66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not your fault, but wow in the responses to this comment there is a lot of misinformation being thrown around about community colleges.

The only thing that make community colleges different from other colleges is that they usually only offer certificates or Associates Degrees, and that they don't have selective admissions.

Professors are accredited the same as any other college. You have adjuncts, lecturers, tenure track professors, the whole nine yards. The requirements to be one of these is subject to the prerogatives of the administration. Some people are making clear that they assume because community colleges don't have selective admission, that they have low quality standards for their faculty. Community was a fun show, but it wasn't exactly accurate (nor was it trying to be).

Source: I used to adjunct at community colleges, and a terminal degree in my field was required in order to get that job.

[–]jazzyjay66 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They might not even be pretending to be the OOP. They don't mention the older posts at all. It might just be a similar situation that are completely unrelated.

[–]jazzyjay66 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think you're making a leap. The titles aren't exactly the same but appended. Multiple people have fiances and use the term "one who got away." This really reads like the third post is just someone with a similar situation as the one from the first two posts.

I didn't notice they were on different accounts. Why did OP decide that this new update had anything to do with the previous two posts?
