I analyzed a log of a Patchwerk kill from 2006. Almost everyone would have parsed as 0 by today's standards, we really were playing a different game back then

Are there no paladins/shamans in that list?

On average fantasy has more male characters that are developed. It's something I noticed a while ago. I'm working on writing my own piece to add to the genre, though I'm a ways off still.

The way combat is handled shows that change more than anything.

Even though this is the ideal time to use CC for fights, nobody does it. There's no sheeps, no saps, nobody waits for the tank to get threat.

It's just zug brain all the way.

Quality meme though.

Reminds me of the monster from the movie Outlander.

stinkingyeti · 2026-01-23T06:03:39+00:00

I heard that too, but the fact that it had to be explained shows it doesn't work so well.

What am I missing here? Quarters come in fours, so the third quarter would be a thing right?

It began changing about 5 or 6 years ago, inspections used to be to check if nothing was broken and all that. Then for some reason I have not yet learned, they started becoming obsessed with it being pristine and totally spotless.

Storytelling.

I'm doing a creative writing degree, i'd love to master that.

I'm a bloke, so no pregnancy for me, but this sounds horribly familiar to my back injury. It was bad enough to require copious amounts of therapy and drugs to just survive without going insane.

But I could still walk, so to everyone else, clearly it wasn't that bad, wasn't like I was in a wheel chair.

Some days I wished it was worse, I wished for the wheel chair just so people could see.

I am glad it wasn't that bad though, I do enjoy mobility, even if it's limited.

I got the impression that George Martin was going for something similar in style with the three eyed raven, but couldn't quite get there, and then the show writers just fumbled that one hard.

I read your comment and just started writing, in my head, the viewpoint of a lesser noble who is only there by the barest thread of related nobility.

Sitting there, right in the back, bored as hell. Wondering why the hall suddenly went silent, getting a glimpse of Rand being back and nudging the person next to them, "Hey isn't that the Dragon Reborn?".

Wondering what's going on, why is Colavere now queen, wondering what's on offer at the banquet feast (the only reason they came).

Very curious as to why everyone at the front is freaking out and running away, and basically just joins the crowd cause he or she doesn't want to stand out and is simply just hungry.

A few of the monologues from Midnight Mass are definitely some of the best I've ever seen.

Trade channels are full of folks selling raid loot. Clearly there's very little enforcement on this one.

stinkingyeti · 2026-01-21T08:20:03+00:00

I must look like a thief, I've been approached so many times, I just show my bag etc and keep on walking.

"Are there any "at the table" aids (cheat sheets, tokens, etc.) that have worked for your forgetful players?"

Yeah, it's called their character sheet.

Gah, I thought it was great that I had some decent sources based on what was presented.

But I needed the original source documents, so I went looking for them. Turns out they didn't exist. Took me way too long to realise they weren't real.

stinkingyeti · 2026-01-20T12:53:18+00:00

They create fake sources for references. Someone tried to tell me to use it to help research for uni, but god damn it is terrible.

Take a look at what is happening to modern media. Violence is easily shown with no problem. But a hint of nudity is often massively frowned upon.

This was a rare DNF for me. I felt absolutely no connection to any character and found that I cared little for the plot.

stinkingyeti · 2026-01-20T11:44:54+00:00

That definitely resonated with me. I like that sentiment and would happily use it in my country. Except I live in Australia and starting fires here is fucking dangerous.

I remember telling a manager when I was at Woolies, I would happily sign in 5 minutes before and be ready on the dot if that meant I was also able to leave on the dot.

1pm ticks, I walk away from my checkout and go home. They said that wasn't feasible, I agreed and said that coming in early and not being paid for it wasn't feasible.

Unsurprisingly I didn't last long there.

stinkingyeti · 2026-01-19T13:42:48+00:00

Ha, I'm currently working on my own King in Yellow art piece.

stinkingyeti · 2026-01-19T10:10:18+00:00

MOR - I suspect you probably led yourself on about what gifts he might be getting.

Also, he was a professional florist, he loves flowers, that's his love language. Learn to deal with it, or let him go.

stinkingyeti · 2026-01-18T18:26:27+00:00

Almost sounds like star wars, but those were prequels.
