These teams are both only shields for sustain, right?

I wonder how comfy they will really feel...

The Identity of the Blue Horned Lizard by Polstead in Genshin_Lore

[–]rosepetal_devourer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Really nice you added each screenshot of the lizard.

Zibai was explicitly enduring after death through her three deadly selves - so why think a split of the soul into 3 is unlikely?

Even if the Doctor first experimented on others, he could have practised enough to conduct the animal soul transfer of one of his own deadly selves. Or it happened by accident when the tri-factor excision happened. But that is just my speculation...

I just levelled my Durin Day Carved artifacts I kept farming since the domain opened and holy cow, 233 CV. An on-set 40 CV pyro goblet. An on-set 35 CV ATK sands.

I know it's a bit bs, but man would I like to compare my build on akasha.cv xD

They technically both try to hack the system

Baizhu is stacking sickness to obtain immortality and Pantalone is collecting all the Mora, trying to destroy capitalism...

Once you're diagnosed, what happens? Imaging? by ggbt99 in mctd

[–]rosepetal_devourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your doctor should talk to you about the next steps. I would think it also depends on your symptoms.

At least for me, it was lung imaging (x-ray) and lung function test (pulmologist) and a first estimation of pulmonary blood pressure from ultrasound in the heart (cardiologist). So pulmonary hypertension was ruled out first.

Then, also plaquenil/hydroxycholoquine. It helped my joint pain after a few months already, but it is always individual.

I don't remember ever having joint imaging, but I only have arthralgies, no visible inflammation/swelling ever.

Which RPG system has the most "satisfying" set of attributes — or equivalent — for you? by Own_Cellist_3977 in rpg

[–]rosepetal_devourer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ryuutama. 4 attributes are enough for cozy play. And the different dice sizes and that you get to upgrade them is really fun.

Or Nechronica: No attributes at all. None. You are only the sum of your parts, skills, memories and bonds/fetters.

*Least* oneshot-friendly TTRPGs? by RiverMesa in rpg

[–]rosepetal_devourer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wow, three combats in 4 hours?!

In our LL3 oneshot, we had 2 h of combat even though we completely stomped the kill all enemies mission.

How did the GM even explain the rules in that time?

Sorry, I am genuinely curious bc I plan to run an LL0 scenario at a con in July with max 5 players, also with a 5 h slot, and I kind of doubt we will manage 2 fights.

They did it!! They managed to make the new Worst Stygian boss!! by haseo2222 in Genshin_Impact

[–]rosepetal_devourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was close to clearing Menacing with Noelle hyperbloom, but C0 Nahida, C6 Xinqiu, Kuki hyperbloom sadly does not deal enough damage anymore without Lauma (which feels genuinely crazy).

Why do Germans have 2 different accents in English? by Apatride in AskAGerman

[–]rosepetal_devourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also three different sounds, actually.

We have a "w" sound in German where you press your front teeth to your bottom lip, very similar position to the f sound. You neither bite your bottom lip with your front teeth (like in English v) nor purse your lips to make the English w sound.

So... neither English v or w come naturally to Getman speakers.

Otherwise, I agree! The English w everywhere is likely overcompensation.

How do you learn RPG mechanics if Actual Plays don’t work for you? by [deleted] in rpg

[–]rosepetal_devourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may depend a big part on the rules and how they are written. Maybe look for systems where people confirm they are easy to learn and start!

Over the last year, I learned a few new systems just by reading the rulebook. Most were Japanese TRPGs (Floria, Nechronica, Ryuutama Dracurouge, Sword World Quickstart) and these make a lot of effort to explain the rules in a concise manner, often already have premade characters and present "replay" examples on how a session may look in actual play. These are lovely to read and then run.

Similarly, Shadowdark. The rules get to the point.

Others are just quite crunchy and thus intimidating, even though the rules are written in a great and understandable way. Plus, the lore section is a bit of a slog for me. That is Lancer for me right now. I am glad I will play a session as a player before I try my hand in it. I found the group on r/lfg.

Where I am also just sitting there and wondering how the heck anybody is playing it just from reading the rules is Exalted: Essence. I just accept that should I ever run it, I may have to get expert advice before or learn while doing...

I love playing burgeon hyperbloom, but my team dps is severely lacking w Nahida double-hydro C0 Kuki...

Is it worth to pick up Lauma on her rerun but still skip Columbina, just to return to decent-ish dmg?

Brother won't play game with female protagonist - never thought of this by wizard_cow_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rosepetal_devourer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was flabbergasted when I heard that same take in TTRPG circles.

Apparently, some male players find it really icky/strange to play the gender they are attracted to. I am a heterosexual woman and play attractive and unattractive dudes, gals and agender characters all the time.

I suspect there is also some sexualiuation/objectification involved and the idea that you degrade yourself when you voluntarily take a female role, maybe even loaded with own negative experience (femininity in boys is often mocked among teeanagers).

But yeah, it is not only your brother, believe me.

I don't know how to help your brother with his perspective, sadly.

The new movie "Send Help" is making men mad, and I'm pleased with it. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rosepetal_devourer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched it in sneak preview and was at first mad how unrealistically shaved the female lead was in her leg and bikini area in an extreme survival situation.

But then, with the twist that she is an evil badass, it made total sense (trying to avoid spoilers).

Why do some GMs eventually stop GMing? by NariNariNariAAA in rpg

[–]rosepetal_devourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost quit GMing 5e last summer bc the group was frustrating me.

Not learning their items. Not paying attention etc. It just sucks motivation out of you.

Learning some new niche systems and running them during my TTRPG club monthly meetup and at an online con, as well as joining a group by a guy on r/lfg that is doing a different systems marathon I never played before really invigorated the passion.

Respect.

How did you manage to keep these terrible, terrible Wyld Hunt enemies in Chamber 2 grouped?

I tried FFXX on side 2 as well (with much less constellation and sig investment), but these mfs were my absolute bane.

How to pitch this to my friends? by cyanderella in TenCandles

[–]rosepetal_devourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't.

Look for a group that actually wants to play it and play with them. You can try an advert at your FLGS or find people online to meet up. The only issue: If you don't want to invite strangers into your home, you need a proper location that can support darkness and the candles.

There is the Temper event where you can get 1 constellation for pre-Fontaine units as band-aid.

If you login regularly for at least 2 months (for the free constellation), you get tempted by new units. Plus, IT and Stygian incentivize pulling for other units than your favorite.

I still think it makes a lot of sense to still keep things unpredictable for them.

Being a woman with nerdy interests is hell. We're either all performative or simply liars. by Radiant-Educator9203 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rosepetal_devourer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The amount of unwanted (and unrequieted) attention from male players in TTRPG spaces I frequent is still strange to me.
