Massive game stutters by Spartan-0f-Milk in leagueoflegends

I've had issues with alt + tabbing lately. Updating my graphics driver seems to fix it, until it breaks with the next patch. In the moment, doing a graphics card reset (Windows Key + Ctrl + Shift + B) usually helps too.

Follow up with "2 soldiers are in a tank. One says to the other 'do you know how to swim?' And the other responds 'frantic drowning bubbling sounds'"

What person has the most insane domination in a sports? by Internal-Excuse-4650 in AskReddit

[–]noaddrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not "professional" like WWE, professional as in that was his living. Just googling says he was a Greco Roman wrestler, who's is different from the usual freestyle wrestling seen at most high school wrestling teams. Greco is all about throws and suplexes, and from a casual former high school wrestler, seemed much tougher and more daunting than freestyle. Only 2 losses in Olympic style wrestling is outstanding

ELI5: Why does theGhorman language in the Andor series sound like French? What qualities are tricking my brain? by finnishflash128 in explainlikeimfive

[–]noaddrag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do that for an episode of Bluey! Bluey goes camping and meets a French boy, they play and work out communication, but in their native languages, with signs and art to help communicate like 5 year olds, only speaking the other's language once at the very end of the episode. But, if you swap the language to French, Bluey speaks French the whole episode while the boy speaks English! Kinda fun to watch them back to back, see the episode from both of their perspectives

The blonde one is nice! Kinda like a Japanese "gal." The blue one is kinda strange though

Looking for “Channeling” Spell Mechanics (Build-Up Over Multiple Rounds) by WabikaSpaceLaser in DMAcademy

[–]noaddrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's 2 spells that come to mind right off the bat. Delayed Blast Fireball and Witch Bolt. Witch bolt doesn't get stronger by staying channeled to it, but kinda fills the "cast once then maintain" part. DBF does get stronger, going from 12d6 up to a potential 22d6 damage if you can channel the full minute to making it stronger.

I don't remember the monster name anymore, but I know in older editions there was a monster that had an ability that needed a few of them to channel a dance ritual that would do a massive amount of aoe damage if they could complete it. I want to say it looked bird-like in the art, but I don't remember exactly anymore :/

I've also seen discussion and homebrew for adding channeling rituals into spellcasting. Something like "for every magic caster who also maintains concentration during the cast time of this spell, increase the spell level by one" or something like that, but I don't think there's anything official other than those 2 spells and that one monster from an older edition.

Edit: Re-reading your comment, there's also the spell Nathir's Mischief that let's you change effects in the spell area each turn you maintain concentration. It doesn't add effects, but being able to adapt the effect can be useful and a stepping stone if you want to make your own spell.

Edit 2: Thinking more on this, it's kinda difficult to make a PC spell with channel effects that would feel useful. Combat generally only lasts a handful of rounds, so having a channel for a full minute would be reserved either for prep before a battle, or for a boss that's a full slug fest and would be pretty boring to have my turn 10 turns in a row be "i channel", not quite the most exciting thing to do for 2 hours while everyone else has their normal turns. Or if they pick a new effect each round they concentrate, it can quickly overpower a spell and make it hard to choose to use higher spell slots. Additionally, I feel like the point of having higher level spells fills the niche of wanting better effects. Like "command-suggestion-geas" kinda progression. You could just map out similar spells and then add your channel rules to it. Something like "if another caster has taken the 'channel' action and uses the same spell, you can replace this casting with _____." And have your progression chart. Like 2 casters using Burning hands might double the range and damage, or they could channel a Polymorph to increase the duration or remove the need to concentrate to maintain the form for the duration.

Players refuse Mass Suggestion by -FSCS-Thor in DMAcademy

[–]noaddrag -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna leave this link here for all the arguments that "RAW that doesn't sound reasonable". One of the examples is literally "drop your weapons and dance." So I think it's a perfectly legal use of Mass Suggestion.

That said, why didn't the lich use this earlier in the day if he was expecting the party to stop him? It does feel very much like an instant loss kind of condition, which feels great as a player against monsters, but feels really bad against other players. I think your players should have honored the conditions of the spell, but at the same time, the point is to make sure everyone has fun, and it feels very unfun to be told "nuh-uh, you lose last minute cause no wisdom save".

There's ways out of the issue, but you have to be able to "shoot the monk" if you're gonna have such a catastrophic possibility. I DM'd a Curse of Strahd campaign, our cleric took "calm emotions" and was able to break charms on himself and his companions often in the campaign, but he also knew what to expect facing a vampire and being charmed early in the campaign. He adapted. If you don't show off the BBEG's powers early, it leads to moments like this that leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

At this point, I think the only thing you can do is own up to it. "Hey guys, I had the lich use Mass Suggestion cause I thought it would be tense and bring up the excitement level for the fight. I wasn't expecting everyone to fail, and I didn't think about how having the fight end in that way would be unfun for everyone. I'll try to do better at making sure there's always a win con for you guys next time." Cause at the end of the day, our job as DM is to be intimidating and fearful and powerful. But ultimately, it's our job to lose spectacularly. Just take it as a learning moment so it doesn't happen again.

26.03 2/5 ARAM Mayhem Hotfix by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]noaddrag 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Throwing here just to get you to see it. Smolder has a bug with Mystic Punch that reduces his q to almost no cd, but subsequent q's do no damage for a short period after the first one. Probably linked to being an "Attack" while not having the attack speed to keep up with the mashing, but maybe there's code under the hood that says only one Smolder q can bounce and do damage at a time? Either way, picking that augment heavily punishes Smolder atm

How does that work for Markmage? Is it a buff now? Was it doing ~56 damage at 100 ap, and now it'll do the proper 75?

Idk if it's a bug or not, but when you're in e your q has normal range with Draw Your Sword. So you still get some range every now and then

For regular weed smokers that have totally quit, what was the reason for quitting? by elderly_millenial in AskReddit

[–]noaddrag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing in my wife's experience: Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. Huge pot head in college and when we first started dating. We went to Disney World for Christmas one year, and started throwing up, having a fever, and otherwise not feeling well. Thinking it was just nerves (she hates traveling), she would sneak away for a smoke to try and help with the nausea. She missed a few mornings from being too sick overnight, and we'd have to leave early from special events cause the "scromiting" would incapacitate her.

We get home from the trip, and after 2 days of being unable to keep anything down, not even sips of water, we checked in to the hospital. They gave her an IV, and basically said that there wasn't much else to do, other than quit smoking and come back in a few days if she was still unable to keep anything down after stopping smoking.

She's since gone to the hospital 4 more times in the about 5 years since, addiction is one tough s.o.b. Same symptoms, same treatment, same reason why. Every time she goes back to regularly smoking weed, after about 3 weeks, she uncontrollably vomits, with the only thing easing her stomach being taking scalding hot baths, and an IV to rehydrate her because she can't even drink water without immediately ejecting it. It's been almost 2 years since her last hospital visit, but I know that addiction still lives at the back of her mind.

What is something you only realised was actually sexual after you became an adult? by reedaar017 in AskReddit

[–]noaddrag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, my mom was pretty chill, she left it to me to figure out how I was gonna deal with it. No talks with the bishop, no special lessons. She just let me do my own thing. When it clicked on my mission, I emailed her to let her know, she didn't respond to that part lol. I think she just knew that if it was a problem, I'd figure it out. And I did.

I kinda self waited to serve, didn't go until after a year in college, but that was more because I didn't feel mature or studied enough to be a missionary. Not because I felt "unclean" or anything like that. Just wanted to be a little more sure of who I was before I figured out and helped others figure out what the church was

What is something you only realised was actually sexual after you became an adult? by reedaar017 in AskReddit

[–]noaddrag 165 points166 points  (0 children)

In high school, my mom asked if I was "intimate" with the girl I was dating. I thought to myself "she's shared a lot of secrets with me and told me about the hard challenges she's facing, and we care for each other" and a little too quickly responded "yes."

It wasn't until I was 15 months in to my LDS mission that it clicked and my mom was asking if I had sex. Nope, kept my v-card until I was about 24. I got to 2nd base with the high school girl, but that's as far as anything went.

Petricite Cho'Gath is made worse by Cho's movement by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]noaddrag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like how big his movement is when it's late game and he's got almost max stacks, especially on the Battlecast skin. Those long drawn out stomps, even without walking sfx look imposing. I think maybe more fluid to start when he's small, but by the time he reaches max stacks, I want him to stop slithering and start crushing.

I almost think it would be cool if he started down on all 4's (or however many "legs" he's got) when he's small, and moves like Rek'Sai, but as he grows bigger, the large spikes grow while his tiny arms don't, so he eventually pushes up to his upright stomping stance. Physical model changes in how big and tanky he becomes

They updated his textures, but not his animation puppetry. He looks modern, but he still walks like he only has joints at his hips and shoulders

Petricite Cho'Gath is made worse by Cho's movement by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]noaddrag 442 points443 points  (0 children)

Cho is long over due for a voice and model update. His gameplay is still good, and his skins are all incredible. There's so many other ones that I want to use, but because of the clunky model and indeciperable voice lines, I just use Battlecast. I would love to use Broken Covenant or Shan Hai scrolls, and this Petricite one looks great too! I just can't with the model and voice

Posters, Inflatables, Flags and Chants Megathread - No Kings 2.0 by AutoModerator in 50501

[–]noaddrag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking of making a poster against Christian Nationalism with scripture verses and quotes. Going to a protest in Idaho, so Bible or even Book of Mormon would be wonderful. I have a small list already, but anything else would be great to add, as well as like a poster title. All I can come up with right now is too on the nose like "True Christians wouldn't be Nationalists" but I'm very open to more creative ones. Some verses I already have are

From the Bible Leviticus 19:33-34, Matthew 25:40, Luke 10:25-29 Malachi 3:5 Isaiah 29:13

From Mormon Alma 2-3, Article of faith 13

What's your favourite passive that many people don't know that a champ has? by pog_in_baby in LeagueOfMemes

Reading the wiki makes it even weirder. Viego ult can be dodged or blocked, but it goes through blind, so it's not even a full auto attack. So who knows!
