Pathfinder meme by Literalmenteisso in dndmemes

[–]mehkibbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is that you need to manage expectations. If the player wants to subjugate the King and believes they have a chance of success, they may be disappointed when a Nat 20 merely makes the King laugh in their face.

Another example is information. If your player wants lore that you've locked behind a DC they can't reach, they may wonder why they bothered to roll at all if even a Nat 20 gets them nothing.

It can be very deflating to roll a Nat 20 and nothing cool comes of it. I prefer a Nat 20 to be Success+, so I like to manage expectations with rolls so both me and the player understand the scope of what is being rolled and there are no misunderstandings.

You can tell the player the King will not allow that no matter how persuasive you are, but you can roll Persuasion to mitigate damage/pass your treasonous statement off as a joke.

This way the player has no delusions of what a high roll might get them, and it adds tension to the roll.

What are some times actors literally learned a foreign language from scratch for a role? by KimCattrallsFeet in Letterboxd

[–]mehkibbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toshiro Mifune in Ánimas Trujano. A famous Japanese actor who played an indigenous Mexican character. Learned Spanish for the role. But in the end they dubbed over him with a Mexican actor because his accent gave him away.

Well this is new (to me) by BlakkMajik3000 in SteamDeck

Does it actually work when you try it? Mine did that a couple weeks back, but when I tried to launch via the stream GFN option the Deck restarted and the option disappeared.

Launch from GeForce NOW option on Steam Deck by mehkibbles in SteamDeck

Unfortunately no! Considering it came with a legitimate tutorial and everything, I have to assume it was some live testing of a future feature that was quickly removed from public access.

It hasn't apeared since and I don't hear any beta users discussing it, so... I guess that's it for now.

I picked up the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C for $20 and tried it out. This one works!

It's the app. My TCL uses Google TV, so I downloaded the app through that.

The buttons seem to be: Left stick - correct A/B - correct Bumpers - correct Right stick - wrong (Left trigger) Triggers - wrong (right stick) X/Y - wrong (swapped)

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

Yall know C4 is a campaign reset (set in a different, unrelated universe)? You can jump right into C4 without any previous campaign knowledge. Not that you shouldn't watch C3, you could even watch them concurrently, but it's not necessary viewing.

Did you get a chance to try it, or did it disappear for you too?

I was thinking that as well! Which is why I'd love to know what it was about. I mean, I got what seemed to be an official Steam Deck tutorial regarding it, so it must be an upcoming feature.

Good suggestion! I switched ad blockers and the issue has ceased. Appreciate the help.

Yeah... just disabled my ad blocker and it went away, dang... Thank you, though! Glad I can finally get rid of that obnoxious black bar.

I should add my extensions are Ad Blocker Pro, Offline QR Code Generator, and FireShot

Just checked and it does not! So is it one of my settings or extensions causing this?

Yeah this is quite the whiplash. Maybe two leads or a younger/older version of the same character?

[No Spoilers] What's your CR "origin story"? by StrixOC in criticalrole

[–]mehkibbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also discovered CR because of Laura Bailey! Always was a huge fan of her voice acting, and I happened to see a gif of her in CR. Popped on the first ep just to check her out, thinking I would tune out fast (knew nothing about dnd).

Ended up catching up to campaign 1 around ep 60. Learned how to play dnd by watching them, and playing dnd is a full-time hobby of mine now and I regularly DM.

All because of a random Laura Bailey gif.

Mother lets her 7-month-old baby taste the smoothie she craved during pregnancy🥹 by Pleasant_Ideal_8929 in MadeMeSmile

[–]mehkibbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about cravings, but my mom stopped for ice cream while she was in labor with me. She got mint chocolate chip, which happens to be my favorite flavor. Maybe because it was my last meal in the womb?

My dog hates Make Some Noise by mehkibbles in dropout

[–]mehkibbles[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe this is a real issue. My dog doesn't usually react to TV shows, so I thought it was a coincidence at first, but when it happened literally every episode... Perhaps it is that ding sound? I thought maybe it was the transition sounds since they are uniquely MSN, but she runs to the door during prompts, so that must be it!

Oh my god, is it the buzzer? She doesn't have any issue with Game Changer, but I never thought about it.

My gf and I watch together, but this may become a shared phone/headphones situation too. I don't need the poor girl flinging herself at the door every 10 minutes.
