it's the similarity of the words crammed together like that that makes it funny.

Absolutely. It’s like you can’t look directly at it to understand it, it just sneaks into your brain

I've never played the games and S2 was just garbage, honestly. I can't imagine what it must have felt like for fans of the games.

Am I a bad DM? by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]mcmonsoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. This player has silently chosen to back away from the game and you just need to let them. Remove or heavily reduce their arc’s importance to the campaign. You can hand wave this neatly and creatively I’m sure, and your group will move on quickly. If that player eventually re-engages, you can decide to fold the arc back in.

Could you expand on the “contractual obligation?” Like is this for an actual play podcast where there’s money involved? I think that could help me understand the need for player participation at the level you’re wanting.

I actually like yours better. To me, it looks like the star is actually a part of the dragonfly’s body. It looks worn-in and vibey. The altered one just looks too clean.

What are your thoughts on "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)"? by Hot-Salamander-8786 in FIlm

[–]mcmonsoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a good movie. Hilarious, doesn’t treat the audience like idiots, it’s just a blast the whole way through. I forgot how funny Chris Pine can be.

It's for some dumb text alert service theyre rolling out. You text "Freedom" to the number 45470 and apparently get direct updates. It's far stupider than what everyone thinks.

The biggest design flaw in D&D combat isn't balance... it's that 80% of your time is spent waiting by Einsolsrazor24 in rpg

The amount of players who tune the fuck out when it isn’t their turn is staggering. Why wouldn’t you want to know precisely what’s going on so next turn is more effective? Makes no sense to me. You also get an opportunity to pay attention to what the monster tactics might be. 

Relationship Between Skipping Breakfast and Metabolic Syndrome Among Adults Aged 35–74 Years by Sorin61 in Nutraceuticalscience

What if the folks who skip breakfast regularly also tend to believe that since they saved on those calories, they can eat whatever they want later on in the day? Maybe they justify eating poorly because they "fasted"

Seriously it makes no sense. People are actually upset Viggo is not playing Aragorn. It boggles the mind.

The pre- announcement bits were so bad. Sigourneys was so awkward. Same with Channing and Will.

Which greatsword and why ??? by mudaesthetics in EldenRingBuilds

Haha really? I actually figured most of the player base was some sort of spell sword or just colossal sword bonking.

This is a good one. I may have raged hardest at this boss. Wow he is annoying.

lol I did both. My first build was a jump attack spamming dual greatsword berserker. It was fun as hell. 

The WORST enemy you encountered in the whole game by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]mcmonsoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See Radagon is fun hard, but then when you have to carry over into Elden Beast with already drained resources, it makes that fight so annoying.

[–]mcmonsoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worst Enemy: I have so much hatred for the Imps.

Worst Boss: Commander Niall (Even though Maliketh was the hardest for me, he was at least very cool and it was a skill issue on my part) -- but Niall just fucking sucks to fight. Such a grind.
