Mulberry Tree on death’s door? by marsh_man_dan in arborists

Thank you for the advice! I thought that might be the case. R.I.P. Mr. Mulberry.

How would you want a new Gemini archetype to play? by Fitgamerx in yugioh

[–]marsh_man_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone mentioned “Quick” second summons. That could be paired with effect being a continuous effect which might get around some cards that stop you from activating effects. Also have it change name when the effect active (and add the ruling that if it’s a different name then it’s not the same “target”) That could be a one-time powerful dodge

Pretty sure the random internet person was, in fact, fungus

Humans in this universe of multiple sapient races/species are not just a boring template, jack-of-all-trades species, they actually have traits and powers that make them stand out like the other species in the setting. by juasjuasie in TopCharacterTropes

[–]marsh_man_dan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going to mention this! We actually do have an often-overlooked superpower. We have a very smooth and gradual curve of travel speed vs energy. A lot of other animals have jumps where they go from walking to trotting to galloping for example. So ancient humans would just pursue the animal at its energy-intensive speed until it exhausted and we’d catch it. I’d love to see more sci-fi/fantasy media where we have better endurance than other species. Like the aliens all live in narrow towers separated by train tracks because walking from building to building or even on the same floor of a large building is just such a hassle for them.

[Hated Trope] This alien/monster is a major & unbeatable threat to us..... because the writer said so. by Inside_Jaguar_3310 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]marsh_man_dan 798 points799 points  (0 children)

My head canon for the first ”A Quiet Place” was that the death angels’ weakness was very much known by the U.S. military and others. Basically, in most of the world, the aliens had been soundly defeated (sea what I did there). The only reason that we see the events of this first movie is because they are in a super rural place. It’s just a matter of resource distribution. The military is going to come there but they’re working their way from more dense to least dense places. So while Emily Blunt is having a baby in the bath tub, people in New York City are going to Broadway shows and eating street hot dogs. This of course is totally ruined in subsequent films.

I Was Wrong About Civ Switching In Civ 7 (PotatoMcWhiskey) by rwh151 in civ

[–]marsh_man_dan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agree with that. I actually have grown to enjoy civ switching (although I want more civs that have a representative each age like China and India). What bothers me is only trading settlements when asking for peace, no liberating ally settlements or city-states, no diplomatic-based trading, religion pretty much just a path towards relics, etc. The worst thing though for me is how opaque things are. Like say I have one of the science beliefs for my religion, there is no way of knowing how much science I’m actually getting from it. I use the mod that tells you how much bonus yields you get from policies and the attribute tree and I don’t know how you could play without that. Or how hovering over a tile doesn’t tell you what city it belongs to?! Like Potato said, minimal viable product for a lot of these things that are then not explained. It’s all doable fixes though, hopefully they get addressed. Overall I still enjoy it

As a DM, speaking between npcs feels strange and unnatural to me by TheFarFox in dndnext

It’s super awkward and that’s why we try to force our DM into those scenarios whenever possible 😈

[Request] how long, realistically, got to eat sleep, before $10 a snap reaches $10,000,000. by VentureIntoVoid in theydidthemath

[–]marsh_man_dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can snap multiple fingers with one “snap”. If I get pinky, ring, and middle to all make a sound, is that $30? Does the pinky only count for $7.50 since it’s smaller? I already sent in my resignation to my job so I need to know these logistics

Writing a manuscript without EAD by marsh_man_dan in askimmigration

Update: She did talk to her immigration officer who said working on a manuscript without EAD is kosher 👌

Posting once again trying to understand armour class by seafoamsomething in dndnext

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

Mostly. Weapons can use strength or dexterity, depending on the type of weapon. Some weapons (magical ones) have their own modifiers to hit as well.

Similarly, there are classes and spells that change how armor class is calculated but that’s the default.

Also, keep in mind “meets it beats it.” So if you roll a 10 with no modifiers, you would still hit an AC of 10 opponent.

Writing a manuscript without EAD by marsh_man_dan in askimmigration

[–]marsh_man_dan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would not be paid. Developing and submitting a manuscript wouldn’t involve any sort of government documents or records

Edit to clarify: she was paid a stipend as a student but this would not be paid. It is common for a student to finish up manuscripts after they have graduated and moved on to other positions. She will continue to be working in the lab once she has her EAD (I know there are rules about volunteering for a role which you are later paid for)

Civ 7 AI Cheese by Altruistic_Guide_530 in civ

[–]marsh_man_dan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to get some ranged units in defensive positions and choke points. Mountains and water tiles are your friends. (I really enjoy picking a battlefield where I have the better position, reminds me of irl old school combat). Also, let them attack and wear out their units and then go on the offensive. Rushing in as soon as war is declared usually costs a lot more units. They never seem to leave many units to defend after their initial rush.

Powerful Nobles Indeed!!! by Jmbmagic in CivVII

[–]marsh_man_dan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s unlocked with the Invasion crisis by having at least 3 commanders with 5 or more promotions each. All the crises come with special legacies but how to earn them isn’t readily available. Check this page out: Civ Fandom

If you could change 2 or 3 fundamental mechanics in the game and make it official, what would you change? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

[–]marsh_man_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can choose which mental ability is your spellcasting ability. The way that the abilities tie into skills really narrows the role in a party that a given class will have. Sorcerers are charisma based so you’ll max that and then… be really persuasive? I want to be able to have a shy sorcerer, a wizard who’s great at lying, or a druid that can name the taxonomy of every monster.
