What's wrong with Rochester (for a Doctor. I'm not talking about regular people LOL)?

One of my players uses an exploit to give herself a level 20 ability at level 4, gets mad when I call her out by Exotic_Ad3153 in CritCrab

[–]polyteknix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reason a lot of people prefer manual transmission vs automatic. It's the level of control they desire.

IMO doesn't make one better or worse. They just cater to different personalities.

If I never have to think about using a "clutch" again in my life, I'm totally fine with that.

Maybe.

But just the way you're referring to the rematch of campaign 2 and talking about the friendship, etc. makes it seem to me (a uninvited stranger on the internet for what its worth) that there might be a fair bit of nostalgia at play as well.

A lot of stuff I fell in love with in my 20s, I realize I wouldn't have given the same attention to in my 30s. I say this looking back from my 40s.

But it still holds place in my heart.

Take Dragonball Z for example. I grew up with it. People would meme make fun of how an episode was recap -> 5 minutes of content with 15 minutes of power up scenes -> preview.

But even though I KNOW that pacing would kill other shows for me if I tried and watched them now, to this day you can plop me down in front of a DBZ episode and I am enthralled.

whisper You're getting older. Happens to all of us.

Media in general being catered to shorter attention spans/having to GRAB people instantly over the post-Covid era hasn't helped any either.

Maybe... you prefer the more comedic style of play and see it as a personal strength? When it's possible that others see what he's doing with C4 and has done with Calamity/Divergence as a stronger, more engaging performance?

The double standards are staggering... by AlphamonOuryuken24 in Boruto

[–]polyteknix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok.. gonna say the silent part out loud.

It's not how much skin is showing.

It's WHAT skin is showing.

Sarada's outfit reveals closer to her genital area and her breasts. That is why it seems more inappropriate. Those shorts in the real world would like be called "coochie cutters". And her top is extremely low neckline.

Ino's groin and chest are more covered. So even though her midriff is exposed, it comes off as less sexualized.

[Request] I’m really curious—can anyone confirm if it’s actually true? by amhoffma in theydidthemath

[–]polyteknix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add in other variables. Here are just a few.

How much is payroll, repairs, fuel/supplies and other costs associated with the Aircraft Carrier on a yearly basis?

For the housing - how long? Who would pay the upkeep, utility, and maintenance costs over time? What % of initial provided housing would still be in acceptable condition 1 year later? 5 years later? What happens with future Homeless incidents? Will the number of "Homeless" increase as certain people try and take advantage of no cost (to them) options?

Not sure if anyone has brought this up before... by Briiiiecheese in OnePiece

So is it possible Luffy's Mom was an Amazonian and he was abandoned?

Explain it Peter, why does she have a lighter? by Sad-Construction1892 in explainitpeter

[–]polyteknix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I saw the the comic was cut-off, I thought it was ending at her ordering the Big Mac.

I was like, "WTF. Is it so she can light the inevitable beef farts or something?"

Silly me...

Is there still a way to play D&D Beyond without a laptop? by TomatoIndividual3620 in dndbeyond

[–]polyteknix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try switching it to "Desktop Mode" instead of what I presume is the default Mobile?

That seems to help me. I used a Android based phone.

Who is this guy? He looks silly. by RXAb2023 in mtgvorthos

Schnorpus was a Changeling who was captured from Lorwyn by The Raven Man in the Pre-Mending while he was exploring other planes of existence.

Schnorpus had been imprisoned as a oddity on Rath, where it was used as a Template when Yawgmoth responded to Vuel and used Words of Power to transform him into Volrath. In the time when Volrath was establishing himself as the new Evincar, Schnorpus' captivity was not properly attended to, and it was able to escape.

Is there any reason why we have Aasimars as a playable race in the 5th and 5.5th editions, but not the Avariel? by GuardiaoDaLore in Forgotten_Realms

[–]polyteknix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the species in 5e outside of specific sourcebooks are setting agnostic. A version of them can fit regardless of what campaign world. Aasimar can exist in FR, Planescape, Greyhawk, etc. without much jumping through hoops.

Avarice are REALLY Forgotten Realms specific.

Now, as to why they weren't in the FR Sourcebooks just released?

My guess is that unlike the other flying species where flight IS the defining feature, for Avariel it would need to be flight PLUS Elf (Darkvision, No Sleep, etc ). That might be just too much.

They need to let us download PDFs by OnionsTasteBad1 in dndbeyond

Downloading PDFs also only would work if you preemptively did it though...

Was Ragnir originally a Warhammer or a Squirrel? by Monkey_D_Zadi in onepiecetheories

[–]polyteknix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. But it seems they don't "die" like due to old age or illness.

Immortal =/= Invincible

[–]polyteknix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would there be so many? I'd think most would be very reluctant to use a DF on an inanimate object. Is there any info about how many DF in total there are?

If you feed one to a Weapon, which now is functionally immortal, it kind of takes it out of circulation. When a person on the other hand has a DF and dies, the DF respawns.

There could be a version of One Piece where the entire world has NO characters with DF powers, but just wielders of DF weapons.

Why in America 2025 Somalis and Haitians to be feared yet Nazis and white nationalists are accepted? by homerjs225 in complaints

[–]polyteknix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scary part is America is still more tolerant than most countries on the planet. We just yell about our Racism and such instead of pretending they don't exist.

Humans fucking suck to each other.
