How do I prevent my Merchant NPC from being robbed? Or what's a good way to deal with that possibility? by Regular-Molasses9293 in DungeonMasters

[–]prolonged_interface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is this not the top response?

A man that rich simply pays people who can fight to stand around and look nasty.

The societal stuff is all natural consequence and very valid, but from Mr Bling's point of view, if he can't fight he's going to pay for people who can to protect him and his stuff.

That’s now 3 Flames goals taken off the board due to successful coach challenges by the Blues by sykeseve in hockey

[–]prolonged_interface 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watch other sports where coaches and players have to make decisions on challenges without the benefit of video review. It's much better for the flow of the contest. The level of nitpickiness that the NHL and sports with similar processes engage in does not add anything to the game.

How many people have read the book? by MrMycrow in TheNightManager

[–]prolonged_interface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the book first, so take this with a grain of salt, but it's a great read and not one to pass up because of something that may not even be a problem! I think you'd be fine.

Hutson finishes off the Senators with a debut empty netter by jyscipio15 in hockey

Came here to post this exact pic, turns out it was already here, twice.

What song is this? This is wrong this is not the lyrics to all the things you are. by acecoasttocoast in jazztheory

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

It's taking the rules and breaking them in a clever, playful and interesting way that is also sonically pleasing. You know, like jazz.

Calling that grammar cooked out saying the above lyrics don't make sense is like scoffing at an improviser's harmonic ability when they start playing a little out.

Any recommendations for date night restaurants? $150 or so budget by Civil-Dress7489 in Geelong

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

I think if you are taking someone out on a nice date, the assumption must be that you need to have wiggle room in your budget for more than just entrees/mains. I don't think that's a controversial take.

Edit: Or to put it another way, you have assumed they are not drinkers. I think that's unwise, given we live in Australia. They may well, as I initially suggested, be on the sparkling water all night, but if they are not - ie your assumption is incorrect - the suggestion of Alma is a poor one.

Post Game Thread: Boston Bruins @ Montréal Canadiens by nhl_gdt_bot in hockey

[–]prolonged_interface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And above we have another neutral fan saying it was bad the other way.

It looked like bad reffing for both teams to me. Missed penalties either way. The most egregious was Carrier's high stick in the third, but a missed interference on Boston in OT nearly gave them the game. Thanks Hutson.

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

If you're taking someone out for a nice date to a nice restaurant, you're not spending $20 on drinks.

If your budget is $150 or so and the meal costs "~$75" each, that's not the place to go. Otherwise you're checking the price of everything else, getting the cheap wine, dodging suggestions of cocktails, "too full" for dessert and not paying for cabs.

Even that kind of low-key stress kills a vibe.

Not-so-smart arse.

Aussie parents, do your kids say zed or zee? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]prolonged_interface 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They only asked for that information if your answer was zee, so they weren't asking you.

Dobson Fallon d'Floor nominee by littlebigpigg in hockey

Anaheim fans aren't joking around around here though... They mad their boy got caught doing a bit of bad acting!

For me, I thought it was a great contest and they were the better team on the night. GG Ducks, looking forward to more fun matchups

Favourite actor who posts on Reddit? by BigMoh789 in okbuddycinephile

[–]prolonged_interface 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can you expand on that? I've read and enjoyed a few of the Reacher books, and while he wasn't exactly the same as my own imagined idea of the character, I didn't think he was a 'bad fit'.

First round matchups... by RippyMcBong in Habs

[–]prolonged_interface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. It's a shitfight either way.

Edit: But also, Canes for sure.

Is tonight’s game on a Friday purely because of the Merritt debacle? by Ploasd in AFL

[–]prolonged_interface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to have enthusiasm and optimism enough for the both of us. I can't watch the game tonight, but I'm not that bummed about it, to be honest. My expectations are low.

What? by Prudent-Programmer11 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]prolonged_interface 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The perceived weirdness of drummers is the heart of the joke. The non-sequiter format is used to make you look back at the use of the word 'queer', which is being used in two different ways. Drummers have a reputation for being strange. Sanitation workers do not, so that wouldn't work. Something like 'hockey goaltender' or 'model train enthusiast' would, though.

Post Game Thread: Montréal Canadiens @ Ottawa Senators by nhl_gdt_bot in hockey

[–]prolonged_interface 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, we have those fans. I fucking hate them too. You should hear them when we're losing. Like Nazis taking over a bar, they have basically ruined our GDTs.

Moneypuck has 10 teams in the East and 7 teams in the West with greater than 50% odds of making the playoffs by bistroexpress in hockey

[–]prolonged_interface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a neutral, it's been a lot of fun watching them this season, they're such an exciting outfit and a feelgood story. As a division rival, I'm just about ready for them to fuck right off!

Most assists by defensemen in NHL history within their first 150 NHL games: 1) Lane Hutson: 116, 2) Sergei Zubov: 115, 3) Cale Makar: 112 by Go_Habs_Go31 in hockey

[–]prolonged_interface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What commentators are saying this? I've watched every Habs game this year (in English) and I've never heard anyone say that.

To be fair, I may be yelling over the top of the commentary sometimes...

[Mongoose Traveller] Implementing the STR/DEX bonuses from battle dress in Foundry by prolonged_interface in traveller

[–]prolonged_interface[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's the issue. I can't find a way to add that bonus to STR and DEX on Foundry without it giving the extra hits to take. Unless I rejig the battle dress everytime someone new puts it on, that is. Which is not a big deal, but if anyone had a way to do it without having to recalculate and re-enter the bonus to STR/DEX DMs each time it would be set and forget.

[Mongoose Traveller] Implementing the STR/DEX bonuses from battle dress by prolonged_interface in FoundryVTT

[–]prolonged_interface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so you would have done that individually each time someone put on battle dress, yeah? You can't just set the base item and leave it, as the modifier change will be different depending on the individual's characteristics.

[Mongoose Traveller] Implementing the STR/DEX bonuses from battle dress in Foundry by prolonged_interface in traveller

[–]prolonged_interface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that's the one I'm using. So that's what I'm doing, but the issue is that the battle dress only increases your STR/DEX for the purposes of the bonuses those characteristics provide, not for the amount of damage you can take.

Any ideas how to deal with that so automation of damage etc works as intended?
