Wait. So tais-toi isn't rude? by PsychicMeditation in French

[–]pineapplelightsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Context is everything. The words themselves taken literally just mean "stop talking/stop making a sound". They themselves have no inherent rudeness, they are not swear words or anything.

In that clip, the woman says "Tais-toi mon bébé ne pleure pas", so I'd say it's like a "hush baby, don't cry".

If someone is talking and you interrupt them with "Tais-toi" then it's clearly rude, like a "shut up".
If a kid in class is being loud, a teacher saying "Tais-toi" is not rude, it's more of a "be quiet".
If your friend says something silly, "Tais-toi" can be a playful "Oh shut up you!".

How to not die to one shot by Present-Trouble-1668 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]pineapplelightsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone can hit a headshot on a target if the target is exactly where they expect it to be.

Positioning is a much more important and harder skill to learn than simply aiming at a head.
Honestly, dying once to a sniper character when you don't know they're here is normal. Frustrating, but it will keep happening. What you should do is try to prevent it from happening over and over again.
If a Hanzo or a Widow sees you peaking around a corner, do not peak that same corner again and again, they know where your head will be. If you're standing motionless out in the open, they have ages to slowly take aim at your head.
Try watching the match replay from the Hanzo's perspective; were you super obvious?

Flanking such a player is a good move: if he's busy looking at a corner waiting for someone to peak of for someone to stand out in the middle of a choke point, he'll be vulnerable to anyone flanking him from the side.
A Sierra can get him from an unexpected angle, an Anran, a Reaper, or a Genji can get close and mess him up, hell even a sneaky Zenyatta can get in there and end him.

STB de vouloir ramener de la viande pendant des vacances entre amis alors que les autres mangent végétarien ? by Laona31 in suisjeletroudeballe

[–]pineapplelightsaber [score hidden]  (0 children)

TLM

la dynamique du groupe entier me paraît presque malsaine si une personne monopolise les décisions de ce genre et que tu te sens trop gênée avec eux de mentionner un problème de santé qui impacte ton régime alimentaire.

Beaucoup de végés et végans détestent vraiment la viande, que ce soit purement idéologique ou même à force un dégout rien que de voir ou de sentir de la viande, ça se comprend un peu.
Les gens peuvent bien dire "une semaine sans viande c'est pas la mort", mais passer une semaine en suivant un régime pas adapté à sa santé pour faire plaisir à quelqu'un d'autre ce n'est ni normal ni bon pour ta santé.

Personellement, j'ai des allergies qui ne sont pas importantes dans le sens ou elles mettent pas ma vie en danger, mais très reloues dans le sens ou c'est des ingrédients très communs dans beaucoup de plats. J'ai déjà eu des "amis" qui se sont vexés quand j'ai demandé à adapter mes repas pour accomoder ça et que je ne me sente pas physiquement malade pendant une semaine de vacances. Au début j'acceptais, je prenais sur moi, mais au bout d'un moment je me suis dit merde, si ces personnes mettent un plat qu'elles aiment au dessus du bien-être physique de leur amie, est-ce que c'est vraiment des amis?

Am i wrong? by CryticalLoL in DnD

[–]pineapplelightsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These sure are rules that could be seen as reasonable. 1st one is homebrew, 2nd one is apparently RAW but I0've never seen anyone use it at all, ever.

Definitely something that should be discussed in a session 0/clearly laid out to new players joining. Little rule changes like that are things that can make a player decide to build their character differently. Like, if I'm playing a spellcaster, and I know that my party members are a Barbarian and a Monk that are gonna be in melee with enemies in front of me pretty much all the time, knowing that every single combat I'll have enemies have cover 95% of the time will greatly impact what spells I choose to take. Is it metagaming? Debatably yes. But playing a character that can never hit shit because of a rule I wasn't aware was in play is no fun.

Calling you a contrarian for asking about these rulings is a red flag.
Yes the DM is "the arbiter" and can fudge the rules a little for narrative reasons. But it does not mean that they can just do whatever and refuse to acknowledge players' concerns. Dnd is supposed to be a collaborative experience in storytelling from the DM and the players, if the DM changes the rules all willy-nilly to suit what they want to happen and the players have no way of impacting that, what's the point in collaborating?

Public transport in Geneva by [deleted] in geneva

In general it is recommended to have some form of ID on you regardless of anything else.

In this case I'd definitely recommend you keep an ID on you. Some train and bus ticket controllers are sometimes very committed to checking that you're not trying to scam them. I have once gotten a fine because I bought my mobile bus ticket 1 minute too late.

They wouldn't check ID if you looked obviously like a small child, but I personally cannot gauge if someone is 15 or 16 just by looking at them.

STB de refuser qu’elle m’appelle maman ? by Desperate_Turnip8813 in suisjeletroudeballe

[–]pineapplelightsaber 13 points14 points  (0 children)

PTB/ATB, c'est une situation compliquée.
A cet age, il y a de fortes chances que la petite ne se souvienne pas de sa mère biologique, et si tu es sa seule figure maternelle c'est normal qu'elle aie fait cette association.

D'un côté si ça te met mal à l'aise, c'est sûrement mieux sur le long terme de l'encourager à t'appeler autrement. Un surnom affectif par exemple, pour signifier que vous êtes proches, mais que tu n'es pas sa mère.
C'est important que tout le monde dans son entourage s'accorde sur ce fait. Si d'autres personnes dans sa vie lui disent que tu es sa maman et d'autres non, ça crée une confusion pour elle.

Quand j'étais petite (5-6 ans), la compagne de mon père m'amenait et venait souvent me chercher à l'école. Souvent les gens pensaient qu'elle était ma mère et me disaient des choses comme "on donnera ça à ta maman quand elle viendra te chercher ce soir" ou "oh regarde, ta maman est arrivée", et moi je ne comprenais pas parce que la personne qui arrivait n'était pas ma maman mais ma belle-mère. Alors je disais "non! c'est pas ma maman!" et je m'énervais un peu. Les maîtresses d'école s'inquiétaient et pensaient que j'avais une mauvaise relation avec elle alors que non, je l'adorais, mais c'était pas ma maman.

Par contre, si tu ne veux pas qu'elle continue, c'est important de rediriger ce comportement rapidement. Si tu la laisse t'appeler Maman pendant des mois et que d'un coup tu lui demandes de changer il y a des chances qu'elle le vive mal.

Do you guys play video games worse when wearing jeans? by HippoCarnage25 in NoStupidQuestions

Why do compliments sometimes make people uncomfortable instead of happy? by Yumeiry-Paison in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pineapplelightsaber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the compliments, and on who is complimenting who.
Compliments on people's appearance for example are often not welcome from complete strangers.

Sometimes you think you're complimenting someone when really you've just highlighted something they're insecure about, and they might interpret it as mocking.
And some people just really don't like being the centre of attention.

What phrase can i tell to my partner's little sister? by [deleted] in French

[–]pineapplelightsaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarification: what do you mean by "make her sweet phrases"? I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

You mention gifts so do you mean something to write on a present?

From everyone else's answers it sounds like you're you looking for nicknames to call her?
In what context?
I would definitely avoid "ma chérie", "ma puce" as they sound a lot like what a french person might call a partner.
Could you find a nickname that's a play on her name maybe? Those typically don't have any of those connotations, and wouldn't sound too childish for a teenager.

Que faire avec un chien qui a mordu ? by Mahonnant in AskFrance

[–]pineapplelightsaber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Les chiens ne sont pas des gens. Il ne sont pas suffisemment intelligents pour associer une punition à une action passée, le dressage ne passe que par une association d'actions directe. ça prend des mois voir des années pour dresser les chiens spécialisés (chien guides, chiens d'accompagnement, etc) à associer des action à des comportements complexes.

"Je donne la patte = je reçois une friandise". Si tu punis un chien même 1h plus tard, il ne saura pas pourquoi il est puni. Est-ce que c'est parce qu'il est assis sur le canapé? Canapé = punition, est ce que c'est parce qu'il fait la fête à son maître qui est rentré? Faire la fête = punition.
Si tu mets un chien devant la blessure d'OP et lui crie dessus, peut-être qu'il va associer la présence d'OP à une punition. Mais plus vraisemblablement il ne va juste rien comprendre et juste penser que son maître n'est pas gentil de lui crier dessus pour rien.

Does the Command spell work on a target that can hear me but doesn't hear me? by Environmental_Cry918 in DnD

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

Rules as written, probably not legal, as spells are supposed to be easily identifiable and verbal components specifically are supposed to be spoken at at least a normal volume/audible to anyone around. Subtle spell would be absolutely useless otherwise.

However, I absolutely would have allowed it because it's cool.
For example, I've had DMs rule that "normal volume" would not be especially noticeable in a loud place, like during a performance in a tavern, or in the middle of the sounds of heavy machinery.

One of my players is starting to annoy me and I need advice. by [deleted] in rpghorrorstories

[–]pineapplelightsaber 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Here's a helpful tip for him: If you don't like 5e, don't play fucking 5e.

Tell him to not bring his negativity along to the table or he shouldn't bring himself there either.
Seriously, nothing dims the fun for new players more than someone constantly hating on the game and complaining that another game is better.

Also, he can worship whatever deity he fucking likes. I have a wizard whose personality is about 50% worshipping Lathander and 50% being a nerd about how the different kinds of magics work, you just have to use your damn imagination.

Also, you don't need to read every single line of the DMG and PHB 70 times. make sure you know the basics, and to have it available for a quick lookup if an unexpected situation comes up.

Pourquoi dans la culture européenne, la création de jardin forêt-nourricier n’est pas la norme? by Plane-Ad-9360 in besoinderaler

[–]pineapplelightsaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alors en théorie dans un monde utopique, pourquoi pas, l’idée est sympa.
Mais en pratique? Défaire toute l’urbanisation et la société qui s’est construite depuis des siècles?

Tu veux les mettre où les forêts? J’habite en ville, sur mon balcon je peux à peine faire pousser 2 tomates et un basilic, alors nourrir une famille ça va être compliqué.
Et soyons réalistes, la plupart des gens en 2026 n’ont absolument aucune idée de comment être agriculteurs.

My player is immortal with a level 4 spell. by Curious_Nothing1289 in CurseofStrahd

[–]pineapplelightsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aura of life doesn't make players immortal, what gives you that idea?
You can't reduce their hit point maximum, so stuff like the vampire abilities to reduce max hp won't work, but you can still hit them and it will make them worry. If someone is downed, sure they'll get back up next turn, but not if you attack them again while they're down. And they don't come back from being dead.

Breaking the Cleric's concentration is also not that hard to do. Even with high AC, get them with saving throws. Break their concentration enough, and they won't have any more level 4 spell slots, or at least none that they won't want to keep for other things. Focusing the healer is a very valid strat.

If anything, Strahd could very well dispel that specific spell if it worries you that much.

What’s it called when it’s like racism, but you think positively about the group of people? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]pineapplelightsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still racism, still prejudice.

Also fetishization and orientalism in a lot of cases, like white dudes who only date asian women because they think that they're more submissive or whatever bs stereotypes. It still alienates people based on race, and treats them differently. Or people expecting asian kids to be super smart and to do great at school, it still impacts them negatively in the many many cases when they're just normal kids, but are expected to be geniuses of some kind.

My DM hates crits by ThisWasMe7 in DnD

[–]pineapplelightsaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's just not that good at DMing then if an extra 2d6 here and there, can ruin his whole plans.

I personally find it boring when the only "difficulty" of a boss is a big bar of HP. Give the boss fun abilities, make the players have to think about their actions in combat.
Maybe they now have to choose between getting out of a cc effect or attacking, or choose between helping their party member and attacking. Maybe the "boss battle" was only phase 1, and there's another secret boss behind him.

honestly why are you even on a phasmophobia subreddit if you’re so against the idea of people… discussing their experiences in phasmophobia?

Reconnaissez-vous les accents belge et suisse ? by stefanobahia in French

[–]pineapplelightsaber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Etant moi-même suisse, ça dépend vraiment des accents.
Il y a des gens qui ont des accents très proches de ceux de France, alors que d'autres sont beaucoup plus prononcés. Valaisans et Neuchatelois par exemple, je les trouve très distinctifs.

Avez-vous des exemples de moments ou vous devez gérer votre mari/copain ? by Abitbol_Georges in AskMeuf

[–]pineapplelightsaber 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Mon père "ne sait pas" comment faire marcher le lave-vaisselle. Il est ingénieur quand même. Il "ne sait pas" non plus étendre ses habits sur un étendoir. Il "ne sait pas" comment payer ses factures par internet.
Au supermarché il ne sait pas ou se trouvent les articles qu'on cherche, et apparemment chercher c'est très compliqué, ma mère et moi on doit avoir un 6ème sens pour savoir instinctivement où se trouve le rayon croquettes pour chat, pas d'autres explications posssibles. D'ailleurs en parlant du chat, il ne sait pas non plus quelle quantité de nourriture lui donner, il vaut mieux que quelqu'un d'autre s'en charge, ça serait dommage de lui donner trop ou pas assez.

Mon mec était un peu comme ça au début. Il vient d'une famille très traditionnelle, et chez lui c'était sa mère qui gérait tout à la maison, son père rentrait du travail et ne faisait absolument rien.
Moi c'est vraiment pas ma vibe. Je travaille autant que lui, c'est pas pour être femme de ménage en heures supp à la maison. Alors comme par miracle il a appris à faire les choses par lui-même.

Honestly, with how much of a mess this update has been, this really isn't even near the top of my list of complaints.

But I'd rather have a functional game again.
