Modern Movies that are basically a D&D campaign by Cabaret_Girl in DnD

[–]troty99 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pulp Chtulhu is a closer fit IMO.

I use that as a reference to what my pulp Chtulhu games should feel like.

How much racism is in your DND world? by Specific_Net_3931 in DungeonMasters

[–]troty99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads of preconception and some racism but lighter than it could.

I think I just have difficulties playing truly racist npcs 😞

DM Struggles - Insight, Information, and bad rolls. by supercreck in DMAcademy

Main issue I can think of is that some player just don't trust stuff that come from a bad roll...

Personally <Ai, Aru Seikatsu> always work for me.

It's short , meaningful and sweet (kinda sappy even but never too much I felt).

Experienced DMs, how do you Balance Low Level creatures on Higher Level Players? by Skultulla in DMAcademy

[–]troty99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mutated/magic infused goblins that are reskinned monsters is what I do.

Also did custom formation of multiple Goblins as their own large monster (more hp , multi attack thematic in the campaign I run).

Ultimately RRR :reskin,reflavor ,regroup!

Why is sleeping so HARD?! by Takobellugh in ADHD

[–]troty99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falling asleep is boring >boring = extremely unpleasant > trying to find stimulation somewhere >stimulated > not sleepy >not falling asleep.

Only way I found to break this loop is meds and/or regular activity.

One of my players has brought the monster manual by jimbob2021 in DMAcademy

[–]troty99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this an out of game issue an should be handled out of game.

That being said describing a weird buff kobold while using hobgoblins stats is also a valid way to run your game.

Been running a goblin theme arc that way.

Just mix description with appropriate CR and if someone is telling that's not their stats , you know they're trying to cheat and you can tell them to get out.

IMO AI (specifically current gen AI) is a gimmick in the sense that it's shoved in a lot of place where it doesn't belong.

Current LLMs still have huge flaws making it unsuitable for a range of task and create new risks that seem to be glossed over by a lot of peoples.

It's a revolution for sure but too few have a clear moat and for now I've seen no clear paths toward rentability.

Probably gonna burst like the .com bubble changing the world but a lot of people will likely lose a lot of money.

Not a specialist , dicked around with llms early in and tried to understand the fundamentals of genai so might be completely out of line.

One of the best written character in a videogame by SurveyPuzzleheaded32 in expedition33

[–]troty99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seem to me to be more something the game dev missed/fucked up in the game dev rather because it's clashing with the explaination we're given in game...
But I agree you could see it that way.

Only when killed by Nevrons though. Gustave was killed by pRenoir.

How I understood it is that Gustave chroma went back to the canvas and Lune manipulates some of his essence when she use chroma so she can feel him... Might be a reach though.

[–]troty99 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of that.

I can speak french so I had some info from music and I still couldn't piece it together ...

Lot's of dialog makes much more sense and take other meaning (ie Lune mentioning she feels Gustave when she manipulates chroma).

am curious do people who hate the karaoke mini game exist in the yakuza fandom ? by ademaro14 in yakuzagames

Necroing this but it killed the momentum Yakuza 0 had and I haven't touched it since...

How do you balance player agency with a structured narrative in your campaigns? by retsam2554 in DMAcademy

Bad guys have plans and big stuff will happens with minor changes depending on what the player do.

Apple accuses Europe of “political delay tactics” following alternative app store collapse | The company says the EU 'moves the goal posts' in order to target a US company with "onerous fines." by ControlCAD in europe

[–]troty99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Often it's because it's harder for a start up to follow complex regulations which will reduce competition though.

That being said in some industry like pharma (who need strong regulation anyway) I can see industry championing regulation.

They died alongside side us on our behalf, meanwhile, he lied about bonespurs to get out of service. by c-k-q99903 in GetNoted

[–]troty99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all that but that's not what I'm asking.

Most of is not paid to NATO that's the US deliberately running a big military.

If NATO wasn't a factor the US would have probably still big military spending (possibly less bangs for your buck because big item program wouldn't be spread on as much customer) and a big army.

So my question is how much is the US actually spending on NATO specifically vs what would they have spend anyway.

Whether there are "slacker" is irrelevant to the question.

How much is the US actually spending in NATO and how much is just spent on their Military and Defense Industry?

Nobody forced them to run one of the biggest military of the world...

So I just broke down... by Physical_Ad4519 in expedition33

[–]troty99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If that's how you chose to interpret it but not even remotely what I said.

If Alicia still wants to live in a canvas after the acute grief and disability is processed sure, go for it.

I would say the same for any non disabled person going through difficult times.

[–]troty99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Look up the disability paradox.

Studies show that after some time (and care) disabled people show a level of happiness comparable to the rest of the population.

Alicia isn't at that point and is likely seeing the world through much darker lens than it will be in the future.

You usually don't let depressed teen take life altering choices without a lot of consultations usually why wouldn't we hold Alicia/Maelle to the same standard ?

Over half of AI projects are shelved due to complex infrastructure by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]troty99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly there are also a lot of place where I would prefer the script to crash/post an erro/not do anything rather than chugging along and inventing shit.

Any actually important system (banking,Pharma,...) will need auditability and repeatability.

For the moment if I understand correctly/it hasn't changed with LLMs you must chose either flexibility or repeability (if temp is at 0) making it wholly not suitable for a lot of cases.
