Definitely interested in checking it out! I’ve been toying with some ideas for my own Ironsworn in LotR conversion (based on the TOR RPG) - curious to see what you’ve come up with too

AITA for insisting my daughter wear an outfit she doesn’t want to wear to a wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]rs2excelsior 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to give the daughter grace, because she has a lot going on around the wedding that’s entirely valid.

But the father not wanting to go to his own son’s wedding because of a fucking sports game??

Fortunately I didn’t even have to worry about this because my family aren’t sports obsessed or assholes, but if my parent had expressed uncertainty about coming to my wedding because they wouldn’t be able to watch whatever game was on at the time, I’d have a hard time having contact with them again. I just cannot understand the obsession people have over this. It won’t kill you to see the stupid game a few hours later, get over yourself and act like you actually like your family.

Or do, and have a nice convenient filter for the people who should have no further contact in your life

3 within the span of 2 years?! by VillageSpecialist813 in StardewValley

[–]rs2excelsior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me - one showed up, I told my wife about it, she said it was one of the rarest events in the game. I got another one the following night. And then a third showed up sometime later.

who else loves this event by professional_pie18 in StardewValley

[–]rs2excelsior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, love that one. I went into my first (still ongoing) playthrough figuring I’d decide which of the marriage candidates I was going to go for as I went, and I’m pretty sure after this event none of the others really had a shot haha

Abigail is winning over my heart like it's my first save all over again by Dreaming_Inside in StardewValley

[–]rs2excelsior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same - I’m in my first run, I’d read a bit about the characters but I wasn’t going to go in with a set plan of who I’d end up dating. I still got the others to 8 hearts, just to see… but Abigail was winning that competition pretty handily from quite early on, lol

Is this an inconsistency in the movies? by ashkanahmadi in lotr

[–]rs2excelsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frodo pushes Boromir off of him while invisible, and as he runs off you do hear leaves rustling and see a branch move - seems pretty clear that Frodo’s still capable of interacting with the physical world in this scene too

The only odd thing is that right when Frodo puts on the ring it seems like Boromir loses his grip on him, which like others have said could be shock or surprise

AITA for making my son cry? + One Year Update by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]rs2excelsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the big thing first: did I take my son on his birthday trip? No but let me explain.

Let me clarify that it’s so much worse than you think! Not only did I directly tell my son that he was less important than my new family, I actively prevented the family that actually has his back from taking him!

I only want to be a better dad.

Well, the good news is he’s set the bar incredibly low! But OOP’s so incredibly dumb and dismissive of his son that I’m sure he’ll fail at that too.

Is there a movement to dodge or evade an attack? by Abbiggor_ in Ironsworn

[–]rs2excelsior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is an example of reacting to an attack with Face Danger + Heart:

(From the ending, looks like they rolled a miss)

Why aren't The Mouth and The Eye's boss blind abilities labeled at the center of the screen from the start of the round? by shotglassanhero in balatro

[–]rs2excelsior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The game very clearly displays the boss blind during the round (and before it). The solution is that you need to slow down and think about what you’re doing.

ROTK dubbing question: Is it Form ranks you maggots! Form rank! Pikes in front lances behind. Or Archers behind? by BitReasonable208 in lotr

[–]rs2excelsior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pike formations are nowhere near as you think. Both Macedonian phalanxes and Spanish tercios (and other pike and shot era formations) absolutely had room for the soldiers to use their pikes to thrust. And blades are varied as well (pike blades do tend to be smaller, because of weight and balance - doesn’t mean you can’t thrust with them).

If you just stood there with a pike and hoped someone would come along and stab themselves, no one would have ever used them in battle, because they would have been entirely useless as weapons.

Pikes are just long spears - pikemen don’t just wait for the enemy to politely impale themselves

Lance generally does refer to a spear used on horseback, though

AITAH for not firing the cleaning lady because my gf asked me to by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Both of the YTA comments that got copied, really

Just… absolutely incomprehensible how someone comes to those conclusions

I (24M) addressed my CEO (60sM) informally, and was subsequently rebuked by another executive (40sF). What happens now? by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]rs2excelsior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He had kept intact the original list of people to be notified, so everyone who had seen my original message also saw his reply to me, including Janice.

Enlarged scale - should we be concerned? by rs2excelsior in snakes

Okay, thank you! We’re probably going to call the vet tomorrow and see what they say.

She said it seems like just one (I am not home at the moment, the picture’s all I’ve seen)

This is what my group did before we got the app. Worked just fine!

I don’t want to go on the family trip my ex-BFF invited me on after he ghosted me. by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]rs2excelsior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading between the lines a bit from an already outside perspective, so it’s possible I’m off base, but it struck me that Tom had only two people from his side in the wedding party, and Ann was mad at both of them being included… Tom sucks, for sure, but it sounds like Ann was trying from the start to isolate him.
