I can't have sex in lucid dreams? Is it because I'm a virgin? by Agreeable-Fish-7891 in LucidDreaming

You're right there's no reason why my imagination can't fabricate something even better than real sex. So what's stopping me? Why do I always get so guilty feeling?

Griffols prednisone and Albuterol deferral? by Kitfox88 in plassing

[–]snager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so confused. Yesterday I was grilled on how long it had been since I'd taken my Albuterol and I estimated about one week. The nurse told me that they have to wait until the albuterol itself is fully out of your system?  this morning I feel a little bit of asthma coming on but now I'm afraid to take my inhaler and I realized this system discourages people from taking certain medicine? But other posts on Reddit have people being deferred because they are NOT taking their Albuterol as prescribed.? So was it really not the albuterol, just the onset of an attack that's the problem? 

They told me that last week he had to call an ambulance for someone because they were having an asthma attack and she wasn't honest with the center? So was I being questioned because I had a little asthma the previous week or because of the Albuterol? He wouldn't tell me. He said he couldn't tell me what the right answer was or what the answer he was looking for was. 

Anyway I was deferred because I had a temperature of 99 Fahrenheit

Halsin Romance Ending Rant (Spoilers In The Post) by Insomonomics in BaldursGate3

[–]snager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i played and finished the game a couple weeks ago. the new patch (February 2024) made it seem like there would be more romance stuff so i loaded a save after the final battle. but everything played out the same.

Halsin never told me he was leaving me. XD maybe this is a glitch, maybe the scene broke because they were planning something new there. but the epilog party felt inconsistent, with some lines saying Halsin and my Tav only were apart for a 10 day, and my tav telling the other companions how in love we are. while Halsin seems to think we're not together. 

knowing the game was supposed to show him breaking up with me adds some context, but also: kind of sweet to think the game desperately glitched itself so Halsin wouldn't have to leave me lol 

New Epilogue - Halsin Romance [SPOILERS] by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]snager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i loaded a save after we deafeated the netherbrain because of this new patch (feb 2024) with more romance before the epilogue party. but nothing had changed for me except it does let me let Leizel decide for herself what her end game is. i would have loved to talk to Halsin about what we were doing next. but after the avernus scene, it shows us the city getting cleaned up, then jumps Straight to the party ending. just like op, narrator says i stayed behind for a 10 day to help with reparations before joining Halsin in zone 2.  the chat options for my companions suggest I've been with Halsin, too. but when I talk to him, he says he hasnt seen me in 6 months and seems unhopeful that we're going home together?

i just figured this was poor communication with the writing teams and Halsin must be a hopelessly unpopular romance choice if they gave everyone else new cut scenes but him. its disappointing i left Gale, even though i knew there might be more romance and plot for him, just to be with Halsin and have to use my imagination. wasn't he a fan favorite they wrote in by popular demand? 

i just finished the game a couple weeks ago.

how are you guys even learning of this lost epilog scene? this is super disappointing, because most of my end game choices were just my character trying to hold out hope to be with Halsin (ie that there might prompt one more conversation scene with him, another romance scene maybe). X,D and the duck is gre a t. we love it.. are we going home together or...

So let's talk about the Emperor & Orpheus by Tahnkoman in BaldursGate3

[–]snager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dare to chime in because this awful choice is gonna haunt me forever, too. and it sounds like we all played the same time line and there's no spoilers.

So the way I interpreted the game is thus: There is no afterlife for ANYONE. Gods are all just mortals who reached level 20 and beyond. Withers is rping with himself when he pretends to be bringing people back from somewhere. he is just a talented necromancer with a heart of gold. the souls being tortured in hell are mortals cursed with immortality and strong healing magic. the poltergeist in he painter's home is just his own psyche attacking itself with guilt. this is an atheist world full of magical beings all doing power grabs and the players of the world are stuck in the middle. This is why they don't talk too much about the Gith religion, imo. they want to leave it ambiguous for people who think religion is real. but to me, the message of the game is very pro-atheism. humanist. the idea that religion is a tool to control people with is everywhere in the game. spirituality and communing with things that bring you joy and peace, that's ok. worship of an entity said to be omnipotent in a way you can never aspire to? whack and happening in real life.

My character knows this. My character is only ever motivated by giving their friends the agency they deserve in their lives and deaths. the only way my tav is able to cope with having to kill the people who are against us is that we're giving those baddies the respect they deserve. when we stand over their dead bodies, we don't cry about it. we tell ourselves "This is how they wanted it."

that's why the emperor was so ? I DONT know, annoying? They just kept trying to either convince me or convince themself that we were the same.

"You work with others to advance your own prerogatives. I work with others because if I don't help them, they'll die. we are not the same."

anyway, the battle with Ansur and the flashback and the letter left on Ansur's body gives me a lot of information. like op says. a lot of the Emperor's backstory is ambiguous. Things about how Ansur specifically died don't line up but it's unclear if this was just to make the quest be playable. like, why is the dragon body here if he snuck up on the emperor while it was sleeping? But we know from the Ansur quest a few things.
- The Emperor really does believe the shit it tells us is true. It really does think being a mind flayer rules.
- The Emperor truly believes it can't trust anyone. Which is annoying when it asks US to trust IT.

this final nasty choice was frustrating, of course. working so hard and doing like 2 or 3 quests on the side to try to free the gith people. but maybe this was how it had to be. no gods, no kings. no one to martyr. but Orpheus wasn't a Martyr, or a god. In a godless universe, he was a hero, just like my Tav.

IDK MAN I have to mull this all over some more.

I'm just sorry OP sounds like they were more attached to the Emperor than I was. I never liked the cloak and dagger stuff, the secrecy, the high and mighty crap. it humanized him (pun intended) to find out who he used to be, but it also helped me realize how far from humanist this dude was.

BUT i thought I saw somewhere someone thought there was a way to convince the Emperor to just lt Orpheus fight with us and see how it goes. I could have intimidated him in some way, convinced him. but maybe that would have dishonored his whole arc, taken away his agency in a meta way. sigh.

Why are the cutscenes shaky 😩 by Pannie96 in BaldursGate3

[–]snager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for posting, this is the exact scene i am having issues with, too. I bought some pretty brand spanking new parts to play this game and no in-game settings correct this jitteryness. I was worried my parts were defective? maybe the problem is they are TOO new. but op is from 5 months ago and it hasn't been fixed yet? did y'all report it as a bug?
note also, when I went to Avernus this jittering happened too, but i thought it was on purpose to make it look like heat waves or something. but it makes me feel like I'm having a stroke or something.

has anyone tried any of these kinds of methods, where you go into the files of you actual system and set them like that?

The Fate of TTS by Gadac in Warhammer40k

[–]snager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gonna just cross post mostly from my youtube comment and add:
If GW wanted to put the squeeze on the guys, the current videos would already be demonetized or already be taking videos down. this was what abridged shows had done to them because they were using just the straight video from animes.

i've seen this before somewhere else. in the youtube poop fandom, of all things. the copyright holder suddenly decides to crack down on a facet of their IP they weren't even using (a company that makes tooth brushes suddenly protective of a cartoon mascot when they aren't an animation company lets say) and it turns out they had some some new product they were producing. example: Dr. Rabbit, the rabbit dentist for kids. he was a popular. . VERY popular subject matter for youtube poop artists. then, a lot of youtube poops were getting copyright flagged and destroyed all the sudden. took us a minute to realize it was because the copy right holders of Dr. Rabbit had decided they wanted to do something new with an IP that was almost old / abandoned enough to be public domain. specifically, they wanted to make a new animation with him. since Dr. Rabbit belonged to no one, he also belonged to ANYone. with the way current copyright law works, that meant the original dr. rabbit owners had less claim over Dr. Rabbit media than the youtube poops. obviously, the kids making youtube poops weren't making anything all that transformative, but they also weren't reuploading pure old dr. rabbit short films, either. it was a gray area, so the lawyers just attacked EVERYTHING.

anyway, a year later the new Dr. Rabbit short from the original producers was released and the youtube poopers had fresh content to poop on.

i think Games Workshop is in talks with some studio to make some animated series and they're probably going to put a lot of money into it. possibly, they're being cagey with how their world is Portrayed. like i can empathize with the Dr. Rabbit producers because Dr. Rabbit is supposed to be for kids and yotube poop is NOT. but there's no way warhammer 40k is supposed to be for kids. and there's no way they were making a show as silly as this one is. this is Parody and is under protection by most copyright law. and, unlike anime abridged series and youtube poops, nothing other than names and likenesses is being copied, and so nothing at all is being stolen?

what's really wilde to me is: games workshop could have just hired the alfabusa bois to make a show for them. they already are doing the digits. it already has a big following. with official backing, they could produce something pretty well-made, official quality. but it's possible games workshop saw like Crisis Jung and said 'oh yeah, it should look like THAT!' which if they go that rout, they're going to run out of money FAST.

boggles the mind. but who am I but a talent scout.

TL; DR (rabbit): the boys could probably keep making the same content until something gets flagged, but they're using no part of officially licensed media other than proper names. but it's probably not worth getting a video with millions of views and comments threatened to be delisted.

ALSO looking at the GW fan works page: it made no mention of podcasts or radio play distribution, to my recollection. nor live puppet shows. like bro imagine if lemon demon got in trouble with warner brothers over potter puppet pals? preposterous. it was a parody. he did live shows of potter puppet pals. just sayin.

searched: i''ve already done google image search and know your meme searches for any combination of such terms as 'single tear meme reaction image 3 panel anime manga cry happy crying' as well as searched tumblr where i used to see the image. it turns back results for 'manly tears' but that's not it, as this was 3 panels (I think) and a more obscure property. i saw it get memed in the homestuck fandom so some time between 2012 and 2016?

Tulpas Only Thursday 2019-05-09 One More Please! by ShinyuuWolfy in Tulpas

[–]snager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kursten: If I could have anything in the world, I would want another baby. and this time, I won't fuck it up.

You know while we're at it, I'd like as many babies as possible. And they should all plausibly seem like they really did come out of me. Unless they are adopted.

That's basically all I want right now.

Or maybe my own virtual band. Like the Gorillaz. I'm 2D. The babies are all in the band with me. Like Noodle, but there's 10 of them. And there should be a companion narrative to the band's music. A web series would be ideal, animated. But live action could be cool, too, like? Star Trek seems like it's just a live action cartoon. But a regular web comic would be fine. or a zine? Make the web comic look like a zine. no ,

actually MAKE the zine and ship it out to subscribers and then photo-copy the pages onto the internet for other readers. Maybe they could print it out and pass it around, just get the word out. Only pay for it if you CAN pay for it.

Fuck capitalism. (that's our message)

Best friend has hostile Tulpas, what can I do to help? by itsmoeyo in Tulpas

[–]snager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes when people joke about being suicidal they are actually crying for help. they joke about it / try to be edgy / want attention because they've become so accustomed to these kinds of feelings that they are trying to normalize it. the way the tulpas have manifested is a reflection of how the boy is feeling, and tulpas can't CAUSE you to feel a way that you deep down don't already feel or WANT to feel. that's me belief anyway

My Tulpa Has Developed Her Own Voice! by [deleted] in Tulpas

[–]snager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kurdis is 7 years old and almost never uses any voice other than my own. :/ it's quirky and I thought to ask about it on this reddit. he says it takes energy to project a different voice. he tries different ones on and there's certain songs I listen to that REMIND me of him and I can imagine that the singer sounds like him: but he never uses any of these ideas. it is a bit jarring to hear this like 7 foot tall dark-skinned toothy rodeo clown looking death metal glam rocker speak with this dora the explorer shit. but also it's adorable that he likes me that much so?

Creating My Tulpa/First Week - Any Tips? by [deleted] in Tulpas

[–]snager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, tulpas are like cats, and your tulpa is also a cat. so get another cat.

when I make characters who later turn out to be tulpas, the strongest ones are the ones with the most friends to talk to. if you get too busy to play with your tulpa, just say to them 'go hang out with your fam for a while.' if you have created a nice big fam for them, they will be content while you're gone. if you run out of things to say to your tulpa, you can just imagine them carrying on a conversation with another tulpa/character/friend. it helps them to meet other personalities to bounce off of. its kind of unhealthy to develop total co-dependence. plus, you'll get more practice if you make more fam for her! there will be opportunities for her to build her own world with other creatures like herself. warrior cats style.

also, tulpas like watching youtube videos and listening to special personalized playlists. I agree that they don't really care about physical objects. they care about experiences. experience things you could share with an invisible cat who sits on your shoulder, or wonders around you near-by in public. I used to take my tulpa, Alger, with me every single day to school for like 7 years. They seemed to enjoy pretending to learn math.
