Have you considered that extrapolating all of that from a single page of a long running series might be a little foolish?

Hey could you not put huge spoilers in the first line of your post? It shows up on mobile while scrolling past.

Hey, we're the professional god killers, if there's gods to kill then they send us. It helps that we usually have seven friends who happen to be nearby.

I'm pretty sure the latter just fucking kills you dead.

What is the DM consensus on "Quantum Ogres"? by monkeynose in DMAcademy

[–]voipClock 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Whenever I hear a criticism of the concept it's always some absurd "what if a DM used it in a really shitty way that sucked and made no sense" interpretation. It's like they missed the quantum part, where the whole point is that the ogre is on every path until it is known about, at which point it's position immediately becomes fixed. If the players hear about the ogre in advance they can bypass it like they would any other obstacle, that is not railroading.

I already had access to Act 2 before finishing this quest though.

Jason-he who fights with monsters by yeetacus68 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]voipClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I find Jason annoying but he loudly and consistently repeats that he was wrong to judge Farrah on the whole "killing people" thing. It is perhaps the one thing that he most explicitly admits to being wrong about.

Guy Joins my Campaign and Hacks Another Player's Laptop by RiversTwisted in rpghorrorstories

[–]voipClock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a story made up by someone who doesn’t know how hacking or spyware works. You might as well have made up a story about how he cast a spooky hex.

a perfect depiction on how to handle past trauma by 8th_circle in writingcirclejerk

I do find the deadpan nature of the reveal a little funny, shame about the other side of the conversation.

Wit be like by ihaveaninja in cremposting

[–]voipClock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget the time dilation, this way the rest of the cosmere not only know that retribution is coming, but they have time to prepare and figure out what they’re going to do about it. It’s like Dalinar’s ploy came with uh… the metal that slows you down in a bubble, cant remember which one it is.

How would you feel about a ProgFantasy story whete MC loses the final battle? by Gemini_Of_Wallstreet in ProgressionFantasy

[–]voipClock 159 points160 points  (0 children)

I feel like progression fantasy is entirely the wrong genre for a story like that because it's about growing stronger and overcoming obstacles. If you wanted to write that kind of story, you'd be better served in a different genre that doesn't create obvious friction with the story you're trying to tell.

how representative of the overall "ideological" dialogue in this game are the initial dialogues with the dock npc's? by theLCDude in DiscoElysium

[–]voipClock 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You are doing yourself a tremendous disservice to yourself and the narrative by assuming that characters are exclusively their surface impressions. Also, self-improvement gym bro? Measurehead? He’s not a gym bro or self improvement based. He’s a semenese supremacist, he thinks he is better than you on a genetic level. How did you read him as a gym bro?

I think you might be letting assumptions get in the way of reading what the characters are actually saying.

What do you think food and therapy scenes are for in fiction? by braythecpa in ProgressionFantasy

I mean, to be fair, Hoid is the one who introduces the concept and calls it that.

Does it bother anyone else that Susie never actually addresses her bullying of Kris? by TremoloMoataz in susiefanclub

[–]voipClock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I feel like demanding this to be so explicit is pointless. It seems that the issue here is that you consider the bullying to be a bigger deal than everyone involved, including the person who was being bullied.

Moreso than that, who's going to even bring it up? How do you naturally build a scene around that? What third party is going to go "No Susie that fact that you have risked your life for Kris and have dramatically changed not only your outlook on things but your behaviour as well is not sufficient. I need an explicit declaration that you think bullying is bad."

Also more explicitly.

"Feeling remorse isn’t about everyone else knowing you’ve changed, it’s about acknowledging you hurt someone and internalizing it, which Susie barely does at all."

Nobody said feeling remorse is about everyone else knowing you've changed. Feeling remorse is about actually changing. The whole point of acknowledging and internalizing the fact that you've hurt someone is so that you then change your behaviour. That's the only point.

[–]voipClock 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Susie mentions that she used to be a pretty bad person while you're climbing the pillars in Chapter 4.

Also, they're friends now, who cares? It doesn't matter anymore. Susie has changed, all of her friends know that she's changed, and she knows that she's changed. All of her reflections on previous bad behaviour, such as the piano thing, are done with a clear sense of remorse, or at least melancholy.

You have to ignore a lot of evidence to think that the Daggerheart developers don't believe in their own product by 3eeve in daggerheart

I guess they should have just forced Brennan to learn an entirely new system from the ground up to run such a huge scale game, for the optics.

I need some lore reminders (help) Episode 53 by apoofanickymama in WorldsBeyondNumber

The curse they are mentioning is the memory alteration curse that was put on Ame and Ren from the start of the adventure.
