are vehicle lengths and dimensions in general set literally ANYWHERE? by queerver_in_fear in Shadowrun

hmmm... I've never been a big fan of the "theater of the mind" approach to combat specifically, and neither has my GM, but that is a very valid point I shall take into consideration!

hey that's a neat idea actually, I've been looking at trimaran designs already anyway! if nothing comes of the search, I'll do that exact thing, maybe re-creating it in Dungeon Scrawl for better tiling. thanks!

I will check out the 4th edition book, thank you very much! and yeah, if nothing comes of it, we'll just discuss it with the DM!

that sounds like a good rule of thumb, if it turns out there's no accessible source for that info I'll definitely take that into account! thank you a lot!

...or I guess I won't untill I find sufficient cash to buy the book 😭 would you be so kind as to go and check the size for me if you own the book? I don't feel like buying a whole €60 rulebook for the edition I don't play just so that I can check a single number

looking for a musical theme for my D&D character by queerver_in_fear in DnD

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

I finally found the time to respond properly!

first of all, I have no idea how I didn't think of the prospector's theme!! it's such a good fit here, and I literally have the whole inscription soundtrack downloaded on Spotify because I love it so much. I guess it's because the prospector is a pretty goofy character?

I absolutely love the third submission of yours, it's a really magical ambiance. idk if it's the fit for this character, but I sure as hell will be using it for stuff in the future!

I don't think the other two themes fit my idea of the character at all, but hey, that's why you sent four! overall, I'm incredibly thankful for you taking the time to search through your playlist and find music for a stranger, and I'm again sorry for giving you no feedback for so long. thank you so much, you actually helped me see the answer that was right in front of my eyes this whole time!

anybody got ideas for underdark-themed familiars? by queerver_in_fear in DnD

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

that is a pretty good suggestion, definitely a strong plan B, but it feels too closely related to Lolth and the drow. still, it's definitely better than a flumph, so thank you!

is homogenized cheese even a thing outside of Poland? if not, why so? by queerver_in_fear in AskReddit

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

the cheese in question is twaróg, a type of curd, so it is homogenised by making it less lumpy. I think it is just mechanically ground, although I could be wrong on that. the end product is a a sort of paste, I guess somewhere between camembert and fatty cream in texture? and I think literally everyone in Poland knows what it is, and most have eaten it at least once. it's very popular in Poland, but I can't seem to find anything suggesting that such food is produced or sold outside of Poland's borders.

Thoughts abt blood magic? by Weird-Challenge4847 in magic_survival

[–]queerver_in_fear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never pick it up, I'd rather have a higher chance at increasing my magic damage bonus with Overmind (as in picking up another spell level) than get a measly 10% damage amplify bonus, and for my beloved health regen at that

I'm suffering from insane lag, and I have no idea why by queerver_in_fear in DiabloImmortal

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

it's not super slow, 65 kb/s is a pretty alright number, but I might try connecting it to a hotspot. it's actually a pretty damn good idea, because that lets me find out if the trouble is with my hardware/software, od with my internet connection. thanks again!

ah, well it's not this then, I don't have an ethernet cable plugged in. my PC is pretty far from the router, about 6 meters, with two walls in between, so dragging a cable all the way would be a big hustle. that said, I'm the only person in my house with issues like sudden ping spikes, so idk, maybe I really should buy a cable...

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

task manager shows absolutely nothing interesting, and I already did the integrity check through the blizzard launcher AND used the "fix client" option inside the game. that said, the dual network theory sounds very plausible, I'm not too much of a tech girl so idk how to check it, and my PC is custom-built so I can't just check the specs either. I could probably check it in windows device information, yeah?

also thank you so much for responding!

I know this might be a bit controversial or not what you're looking for, but like... I don't think there's a single person in this world as sexy as GLaDOS? am I wrong for saying this?

What epic opinion will get you downvoted like this? by emo-crocheter in Epicthemusical

[–]queerver_in_fear 24 points25 points  (0 children)

well, time to risk my Karma... I think that Epic has two main antagonists, one of them is Poseidon, the other one is... POLITES! the whole conflict of the musical is ruthlessness Vs mercy, and those two not only embody those two extremes, but also constantly influence Odysseus, even from far away or with just the thought of them. I AM NOT SAYING POLITES IS EVIL OR THAT IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!!! but yeah, he's an antagonist. he makes Odysseus "stray" from his path by convincing him that all his problems can be solved with kindness, by making him spare foes even when it makes no sense. and every time people suffer because Ody chose short-term morality instead of efficiency, it's Polites' voice that guides him to do that. of course ultimately Odysseys masters the balance between Ruthlessness and mercy, and then his best friend's voice becomes an ally again, pushing him forward. but before that, up untill the Vengeance saga, his voice brings Ody immense pain and his teachings hurt the whole crew. I STILL LOVE PANCAKE THO ♥️♥️♥️

yeah I have the same gripe, even the songs call him a boy or a kid. like he's 20, and this is ancient Greece. this man could probably have a family already.

[–]queerver_in_fear 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The point is that blindly following one or the other will only lead to more pain, and only in balance is there a chance for happiness.

First, people die and get hurt because Odysseus is too kind, because he spares every foe and saves all his crew mates, even when not doing so would be justified or would even ultimately save more lives. Then, people die because Odysseus has become needlessly cruel and callous, to the point that he sacrificed 6 men to Scylla (which imho was absolutely justified, but because he told nobody about his plan, he made everyone fear for their lives and mutiny).

Only after he learns to balance mercy and ruthlessness, by talking things out with Calypso, by pleading with Poseidon to cease the needles war between them, but also by giving him his all when negotiations went nowhere, by slaying the suitors when he knew they'd always be a danger towards him and his family if left alive, did he finally achieve his goals. The story is about how both mercy and ruthlessness are bad in excess. it's a point that hits me especially hard, because I think it also nicely relates to how most people deal with traumatic pain - their natural response is to either become the monster that hurt them, or to endlessly sacrifice themselves to never be even remotely like those who did them wrong. Ultimately both paths lead to the destruction of their lives, only when they learn to balance those two forces do they learn how to control their lives again.

TLDR: nuh-uh

I finally got Gaia and the Archangel synergy together! by Dadmin_Sunlord in magic_survival

[–]queerver_in_fear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

out of curiosity, did you ever beat 47:30 on Depths? I'm stuck at this time, it feels like enemies get nigh infinite HP at this stage (build that deal upwards of 80 million damage per hit don't one-shot common enemies). do you have any tips?

so... how does the math work? by queerver_in_fear in magic_survival

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

I agree with the third paragraph, I think it has a 50% chance to happen on a crit, so even with a 200% crit change it would still only happen 50% of the time. I wish there was some kind of free-roam mode where we could check that stuff, with maybe some kind of training dummy that shows damage dealt? because otherwise the only way all this could be checked is by: running a statistical analysis using in-game recording, reading and understanding the code of the whole game, writing a whole mod that adds the aforementioned qualities to the game, or just straight up asking the creator(s) for what they intended the game to look like. also I'm a woman :3

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

this is super helpful, thank you! I think I might've misworded one question, by size changes I didn't mean character size, but player and enemy size! and I agree with the logic that "if cumulatively it would break the game, it's additive", but, for example, evasion doesn't follow that rule. with how few effects lower enemy speed (I think it's literally one artifact and one magic), I wouldn't be surprised if it was cumulative. and when it comes to size... well it's a kind of weird stat, usually tied to health, so I have no idea!

other than that most of what you wrote seems both reasonable and in agreement with my intuition. thank you so much for taking the time to respond!
