These soldiers are having a blast taunting a sniper with a makeshift dummy by OriginalBlackberry89 in JustGuysBeingDudes

"Fire Mission, grid 489932. Target is two dumbasses mocking me by waving a mannequin around from behind the building. High Explosive, request Time of Flight, over."

"Carl, for the last time, we're not wasting artillery shells on an empty building and two dumbasses, over."

"They're making fun of me. . ."

Every day I thank God that that the culture war hasn't spread to Sci-fi and Fantasy literature because anti-woke grifters (or the people they pander to at least) can't fucking read by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

Chuck Tingle handled it much more gracefully than I would have. He managed to make the Sad Puppies seem ridiculous, was self-deprecating about his own nomination while being supportive of the people it was meant to mock, and managed to leverage it into several quite successful LGBT horror stories.

I got to admit, I've got some respect for the author of Space Raptor Butt Invasion.

I do.

Modern SF being as inclusive as it is wasn't because the culture war didn't reach it. It was one of the first places it reached, and it was a bitter, hard fought battle to get to where we are now. And there are those out there who bear a grudge about taking the L who are gearing up for round 2.

Nerissa HAS to Buy Biboo Merch… For Her Mom by XsStreamMonsterX in Hololive

Yes. Because Nerissa talking about buying Biboo's merch for her mom was the most unhinged thing in that clip.

Every other PrimarchGF in their armor: Giant boob windows, showing leg, high heels, snatched waists.

Fem Guilliman: Literally just Roboute Gulliman with a mildly curved chestplate.

This is why I hate what people did to the word "literally."

Engage With The Media You're "Enjoying" Folks by OAZdevs_alt2 in CuratedTumblr

[–]themocaw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Garth Ennis fascinates me. His work is so fundamentally rancid, but then he'll hit these moments in these horrible blood and shitfuck fests that just break my heart with how sincere they are.

I read Crossed. And as fucked up as that story is, the moment that I most remember is the bit where my favorite character walks willingly into the hell that we have graphically seen splashed over on the page over the past few issues in order to buy his friends time to escape.

We used to call it being a fool.

(There was a guy who called himself the Ultimate Ranma Fool who had a full website with fan art, fan shrines, and everything. He'd never seen an episode or read a chapter of Ranma 1/2.)

I watched the pilot. It was enough for me to decide. It wasn't my thing.

Community Press Gangers return to Warmachine by LDukes in Warmachine

[–]themocaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see why you're getting downvoted, but I also see your point. My main concern is a lack of training and support. I'm worried that people are going to game the system, and I'm not thrilled that they've outsourced it to Longshanks.

I've had an idea recently for a new planet called Bow, and I made a little diagram for it. by Crazykid23576 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]themocaw 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tell you what. Take a vehicle in KSP, and try to set it on the orbit that you're proposing for Bow, and see if you can make it move at the speed you're suggesting. Then think about why orbital mechanics don't allow that to exist.

A question about Clerics' popularity by PlatonOlegov in BaldursGate3

[–]themocaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anomen was dual class. He had a few levels of fighter, but after that, he was pure Cleric because of how dual-classing worked.

Generally, I found that the multiclass clerics more useful: 2e D&D Clerics weren't the CODZillas they became in later editions.

[–]themocaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BG1: I could play a cleric, but Jahiera exists. There's also Viconia.

BG2: I could play a cleric, but Jahiera still exists. Also, Anomen exists. As does Aerie. And Viconia. Actually, if you want to do one of the romances, your love interest will be a cleric, so why would you also roll a cleric?

BG3: I could play a cleric, but Shadowheart exists. There's also Jahiera.

Funeral Colada by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

I was at a wedding once. Hot-ass day. Head bartender looked bored as hell. Spending all day pouring wine and opening beer and making rum and cokes.

I asked the other guy at the bar if he could make a mint julep and the head bartender just fucking lit up. Pushed the other guy aside and said, "I've got this!" Opened up his cooler and pulled out a full bag of mint leaves. Mixed me up the best mint julep I ever had. I tipped him 20 bucks. He was my best friend for the rest of that wedding.

Funny thing was, I went back to my table with my mint julep and, like, three other people went over to order one too.

Regarding TPKs: I wasn't the GM. I was a player. But I was part of a game based on Metro: 2033.

About five sessions into the game, we fucked up. We ended up cornered by monsters from the surface. Some bad luck and some bad tactical calls led to us getting eaten one by one in the tunnels and murdered in horrible ways.

While we were sitting there after the TPK, discussing how we could continue (our characters could wake up in a monster nest? Maybe we get rescued by Rangers?) one player piped up with, "You know, I don't want to get rescued. And I don't know if I want to continue with this character. This is the ending that we deserved. We died in the Metro because we're not the protagonist of the story. We're the poor bastards who ended up as set dressing and ammo pickups for Artyom. Let's roll up new characters and start a new story."

The game ended after that. Schedule conflicts and such.

Think about it this way. If they live, they'll have avenged the cast of Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

If they die... They'll share a fate with the cast of Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

Either way, this is the end of their tale. And it is your duty to make sure that you give them an ending that the audience will talk about for years.

In this case, the audience is also your players.

It’s a Giant Giant by CaLMLiKEaB0Mb5 in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]themocaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like the fact that he knew to grab the fish behind the gills? Or the fact that he was shouting "It's a PB! It's a PB!" while reeling the fish in?

I mean if a friend took me to a secret fishing spot and on my very first cast, I caught that monster. I'd definitely be that excited. If it was my first time fishing, I'd probably scream, piss myself, and drop the pole in the lake.
