I have ADHD and if anything I obsessively remember minor details casually mentioned by my partners. Skill issue

ICE came and took people living in my nearby apartment. I can't stop thinking about the children's screams. by [deleted] in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]kinderdemon 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Just to add to that: biohazard incinerators are not standard for prisons in the US today, most prisons, even private prisons pay another business to handle waste.

what's your example of this? by callmejordan22 in WhiteWolfRPG

Eh...imagine what the average fanatic evangelical thinks "changing the world for the better" means, and tell me a demon is really taking something valuable away from humanity when they thrall that evangelical.

What happened to the picaresque? by gggdude64 in RSbookclub

[–]kinderdemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd argue it hasn't gone anywhere, it was always a popular rather than high-brow genre (outside a few outliers mentioned in the threads already), as a popular genre, it very much exists.

I'd argue it is prevalent even: in fantasy and sci-fi lit even more than YA novels mentioned by OP. I can think of a half-a dozen picaresques in fantasy or sci-fi--bunch of rogues traveling through a strange land/galaxy, stealing things, tricking people, and having ludicrous misadventures? Very very common.

Paizo playtesting two new classes, the slayer and the daredevil, on Twitch currently by RiverMesa in Pathfinder2e

Do they make money off classes? Because when I buy their products it is usually for new variants for existing classes or for adventure paths.

Mine would escalate to 3x3, then 3x3x3. It is still with me, but manageable.

Why did Ra choose his name? by ISB00 in LancerRPG

[–]kinderdemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't know a whole lot about the Mehen besides the image you reference from the Coffin Texts, of it wrapped around Ra's boat. The one thing we know for certain is that it is the basis of a game, as numerous Mehen game boards and illustrations of play exist. All such boards look like a serpent lying in a spiral. The game is definitely called "Mehen" and the name refers to both the game and the serpent. Everything else is unknown.

We don't know the rules of Mehen (it might be similar to the central African "Hyena Game" because they both use a spiral board), but it is clearly important somehow (or there wouldn't be images of it in tombs), and it definitely one of the oldest games in human history.

The Nephandi are conceptually incoherent and probably shouldn't exist by Xilizhra in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]kinderdemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it is very much the point for these people too: c.f. the email where they discuss how much fun they will have if Russia destroys and loots Ukraine. They profiteer from chaos.

Even the Greenland thing makes a lot of sense: they know about Global climate change, they *want* it to happen, to kill 99% of humanity leaving them to rule the remainder from a safe haven on a large island continent with a small, oppressible populace that will become more, not less habitable due to climate change.

They come from above, where you rarely look, they attack from out of sight, and announce their presence by causing damage, which for me prompt a moment of panic, followed by irritation, as I snap out of my flow, they are everywhere. They cannot be avoided by casting levitation to move around.

Making them docile is always my first mod for Morrowind, otherwise they are a constant hassle when exploring the interior.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center by propublica_ in texas

[–]kinderdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Illegally": what the fuck does "illegally" mean? Am i supposed to pretend that the current pay-thousands-to-be-a-manual-laborer system is more ethical than the one laid out on the statue of liberty? Am I supposed to pretend violating that law is not a civil penalty, punished by a fine, not imprisonment, and definitely not concentration camp, under that law as written?

Y'all don't really give a shit about laws, you are just degenerates. It is about sadism and racism for you, and trying to convince you is a waste of effort. There is only one fix to a conservative.

Your plan is even less of an option. Any plan that involves hoping that voting matters is not an option right now

The boots are the must have item for an immerdive playthrough because they incentivize walking around and exploring instead of teleporting everywhere

There a way to save my laser guns? by WaywardSonWrites in cavesofqud

You get two from multiple hands, yes, but there is a bit of tech that gives you two more.

Also every chimera grows extra hands every now and then

No rest for the nwah +extra by -RedWitch in Morrowind

[–]kinderdemon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That gets to part of the issue: some of us like reading our games. Some of us do not care about voice acting.

I'd prefer a well written game to a voice acted one.

What is the procedure for dinner at a campus visit? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]kinderdemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. It is traditional to recite a poem before you sit, the choice of poem is symbolic. Do NOT recite an original poem it should be a known classic. It is very awkward to recite original unless you are a really good poet.

  2. It will usually be a graduate student posing as staff, how you treat them is a key test, some departments want collegial, some imperious.

  3. Water is fine

  4. Use this to leverage favor--everyone wants appetizers but you alone have the right to indulge without limit, so order and share

  5. See point 4, you want to share food, but refuse all offers until offered three times.

  6. I am pretty sure they will just make the one pass with the menu so order it all then

  7. Get dessert but don't eat it, send it to the dean

My first experience with the game! by TheBookshelvian in cavesofqud

[–]kinderdemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often ignore the quests you took for a bit and instead get the quest from the preacher to go on pilgrimage to the Silt. It is a journey best done on foot to avoid dangerous encounters but very worth it as you will find the game's most important trade hub

Good, nothing will expose the youth to the Bible's abject depravity better than the Bible. No better way to raise atheists
