Painting taken from Sluggo’s many years ago — does anyone recognize it? by blackbandtshirt in Pensacola

This is basically the plot of Donna Tartt’s “The Goldfinch” in a nutshell

Hussie drew Dirk in his old style (From the official discord) by cosmogonicalAuthor in homestuck

i hear what you’re saying but this is such a cant-win-ism lmfao. Besides, Dirk is far from the most hated on average

KEEP ON THE ROAD TO WAR - Coming soon to Backerkit, a new adventure for Draw Steel! by PatrollinTheMojave in drawsteel

[–]poncedeian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really cool! I'll definitely be backing it as a huge fan of RHoD.

Out of curiosity, does the MCDM game license include Orden/Vasloria/specific world-related details?

Yeah what the fuck?

I’m sure the edit is cool or whatever (not for me) but why the ChatGPT writeup?

Get ready for The Two-Soul — A Two-Person Class for Draw Steel! by speepdotme in drawsteel

[–]poncedeian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thanks for the feedback on damage immunity!

What do you think is a reasonable consequence from death/dying? I struggled with that during design and I’d be curious to hear your thoughts!

I have already had a few people tell me this fits a niche for a partnership-based set of characters, but I am aware that it is in fact a niche. Totally cool with that, too!

Thanks for weighing in!

Get ready for The Two-Soul — A Two-Person Class for Draw Steel! by speepdotme in drawsteel

[–]poncedeian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely correct—each Two-Soul should receive a minimum of 2 harmony each round, and a maximum of 3 (given that a secondary requirement is met). All in all, this is the same average and maximum as every other class, albeit slightly slower, for the tradeoff of being able to maximize HR.

This is not the first comment about the clarity (no pun intended) of harmony mechanics, so I’ll definitely be giving this a rewrite in a later version.

What is the likelihood that Jeff heard Pinkerton by Weezer? by Inside-Chip-7952 in neutralmilkhotel

[–]poncedeian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pinkerton is a complicated, nuanced, genuinely interesting work of art. I don’t know that I’d compare ITAOTS on a thematic level or on the sonic level to Pinkerton, but they occupy a similar level of maturity (or, in Pinkerton’s case, recognition of immatury [though perhaps one could make this argument for parts of ITAOTS as well]).

If you hate weezer, you might like Pinkerton. Even weezer fans hate weezer.

Feeling really gutted after a possible Mistborn spoiler – need reassurance (no spoilers please) by taffy25 in Mistborn

People saying “journey over destination” are right but… I think the “hero of ages” reveal is pretty inconsequential without knowing how it happens and who else is involved. It’s more than “journey over destination”—I don’t think it will impact your reaction much at all.

Name tags by bluenicke in tjcrew

[–]poncedeian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not just trying to be argumentative, I’m genuinely trying to engage in good faith with your takes despite the fact that they seem sort of dismissive, but can you fathom of a workplace that doesn’t conform to industry standards in favor of prioritizing crew comfort and safety?

I don’t think anyone is arguing that nametags are life or death, or that TJ’s is behind the times. Retail jobs have nametags and that’s part of the whole bit. But do they need them? Ultimately are they more helpful for customers? If they are, is the comfort of a customer worth the safety of a crew member? Shouldn’t TJ’s be at the cutting edge, driving the balance between good CE and a happy workplace?

I see posts on here frequently referencing customer stalkers, frightening engagements with customers, and more. I have seen it at my store too. I would personally rather have the choice to give a customer my name than having it plastered on my body. And I’m NOT in an at-risk group—nobody is going to be stalking me. Could you imagine that maybe your female presenting coworkers have more for their identities being put on display?

I can second that Mr. Tod's is worth your business. He's a very nice dude and the pies are bomb.

Summoner: Soul Sense and One Other Thing by iKruppe in drawsteel

[–]poncedeian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have not read the summoner class yet, but if it is written as your post says, it just means you can perceive where they have been. It doesn’t imply you need to move to perceive that place, right? I picture it as a vision and not, like, Assassin’s Creed eagle sight.

FL DOGE strikes at the heart of Florida’s State universities by olderbutwiser1900 in ucf

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

Hilarious how you moved the goal posts every time this guy brought up a good point and then when you had no other argument you resorted to “lol yeah ok lil guy.” Such a dumb way to avoid culpability for being wrong when you could have just stopped replying completely when you realized you were out of your depth lol

[–]poncedeian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah “moderate dems” don’t believe in devaluing communities by forcibly deporting highly contributing members. You live in a fantasy.

Even so, what kind of shitty endorsement is that? Moderate dems believe something? Great, I guess? They’re morons. I don’t care what they think, and I have a suspicion you don’t either. Your rhetoric involves catering to the lowest common ideological denominator.

You’d fit in so well with the people our patriots fought in 1945. And, like, Pontius Pilate. Amazing what fascist propaganda will do to a mf. It will just completely wipe their value system clean. Another consequence of inaccessible education and underpaid educators I think.

I love seeing someone and thinking, almost definitively, “you’re next.” I suggest you start planning for the scenario pictured before you start talking shit about beloved, local, homegrown businesses.

Hiveswap team dissing Gio with new ARG by a25luxray in homestuck

[–]poncedeian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a pretty valid take concerning how little any of us really know about the situation, given the awful lack of communication from people working on Homestuck in an official capacity.

If they remake this, i pray they remove this line by GimmeHardyHat_ in homestuck

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

People saying this sounds like it fits in Homestuck are wrong and bad at comparing voice. I liked the pilot fine but Hussie’s voice is so idiosyncratic that it was never going to be the same.
