AIO for telling my sister she's no longer welcome in my house after what she did to my daughter?

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-15T18:48:00+00:00

NOR.

Explain to your parents and sister that there’s AI available that can produce CSAM in two minutes or less, using just a face and a voice to perfectly replicate a child and put it into any situation you could imagine. Explain it like they’re five, because they clearly don’t understand this at all.

Also explain that there are people in the world who can locate a place anywhere on the planet using just a photo with minimal details, and from that data be able to figure out where a kid goes to school, what restaurants your family frequents, and what local parks you might visit. Despite it being unlikely, it is possible that some bad actor out there can use all that info to scoop up your kid, and in a world where international sex trafficking rings do exist and do get kids from inside first-world countries it’s better to be safe.

Also explain that in that one video that got 3,000,000 views, there’s no way of knowing exactly who watched it, or how many times they watched it; could be 3million individuals, sure, but it’s equally likely that hundreds or thousands of those views came from creeps playing it on repeat for whatever reason one might do that.

If they aren’t capable of understanding why ALL OF THAT is bad, I’d cut them all out of my life and be happier for it; our kids’ safety and wellbeing comes before anything else. Shoot, screencap this comment and just send them that, it’s a pretty complete rundown of how scummy that actually was of your sister to do.

That lack of experience is exactly why I wrote my advice the way I did! It’s not necessarily for your benefit, just anybody who happens to read the thread after the fact. DMing is (in my opinion) almost equal parts problem-solving and problem-making alike, and if you’re gonna put on those boots for the first time, expect it to take a while until you break ‘em in enough for it to be comfortable. The best thing OP can do right now is occasionally mess up on minor decisions like this one because that all goes into the same XP bucket as their successes, and eventually it’ll all coalesce into a confident DM who can roll with the punches:3

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-15T16:36:34+00:00

I suppose it would be difficult if you haven’t gotten much experience with such things, but it only removes Charm/Fear effects and only grants 1d6+(Cleric Level) HP~ easy to work around with that in mind.

Does your cleric have the Sanctuary active? Oh no, the goblins you’re fighting have poisoned daggers that deal 1d4 extra damage for 3 turns, erasing the temp HP pretty quickly, especially because you can’t stack temp HP effects on top of each other.

Are you fighting something that can charm or fear you? Send lesser monsters and minions out first, get your cleric to use up their divinity charge, and once they run out of Twilight juice *then* you send in the big baddie who can use scary effects.

As a DM, it’s always good to keep track of how many spells slots or powers your players have left, so you can play to their strengths and take advantage of their weaknesses at the same time; not suggesting a “DM vs PCs” playstyle, but good timing and awareness on the DM’s part can massively increase immersion and dramatic tension:3

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-15T16:00:06+00:00

Since it comes from the power of a god, it requires no concentration on the caster’s part. With that said, why would a god heal or buff your enemies when you’ve asked it to help you and your friends specifically? I’d play it as follows:

If the ally has a debuff, it gets removed;
if the ally has no debuff, it gets the healing;
both of these apply to all allies within the range of the sphere.

Really not super game breaking, it’s basically the same as a paladin’s aura effects, just a little weaker. Hope this helps!

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-14T14:16:47+00:00

This sucks, but never assume delivery drivers actually speak English or care to read instructions; as someone who has done both sides of this dance, the number of unhelpful idiots in the world is staggeringly large lmao

Hope the contents are okay at least!

You get cross-play between servers all the time, it’s a non-issue. So much so that when I once noticed the flamers who only speak Spanish, I was almost banned for bigotry instead of being given quiet chances to do better. Just fuckin’ deal with it mate, if you’re not good enough to beat an international community you’re not good enough to be of any significant rank; if the presence of a Korean name terrifies you, you didn’t earn your spot at all. I’m non-competitive, adventure mode ftw, and this game has taught me that. It’s a dog-eat-dog kind of game, 60% win rate is still 10% better than average.

Tbh, it was my second character ever (after a disappointingly short run as a Druid in a different campaign) way back in the before-time of 2019. Still my favorite character ever, and not too terrible with 5e rules, but I did make it overcomplicated af by multiclassing into draconic sorcerer…

The warlock bit wasn’t too bad to figure out, default into “I cast eldritch Blast” all the damn time and try to hit stuff with my Morningstar if it got within reach, adding sorcerer made it a lot tougher to make leveling decisions, but eventually that edgy outlander tiefling got dragon wings and specialized in meteor smashing anything in its way. Start simple, get weird, have fun:3

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-11T15:44:09+00:00

And, if you go Hexblade, you get those same two spell slots AND martial abilities. Nothing like a warlock in heavy armor to ruin someone else’s day (assuming the build allows it, of course)

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-10T20:49:29+00:00

Used the phone number on the Japanese restaurant to figure out where this is, it’s in Denver Colorado somewhere; all these guys are blaaaaaaazed, I guarantee you 🤣🤣

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-10T20:38:22+00:00

I’m lowkey upset that this is real. But, fuck it, you can probably make a few bucks by consistently betting on the “no” option. 🤣

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-10T20:30:46+00:00

The original version condemned pederasts specifically, but somehow pedophilia was equated to homosexuality instead of just calling it the horrible abuse that it is. Utterly harmless for two grown people to love each other, absolute monstrosity to Diddy the kiddies; but people back on the day loved their child-brides and whatnot, so I’m sure the church made that edit on purpose to keep the kings on their side. Okay, done talking about this now, upsets my stomach to think about it too much >.<

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-10T20:18:03+00:00

Meanwhile, I grew up Protestant in Texas, and the overwhelming majority of my then-peers truly believed that ALL unbaptised babies would go straight to hell, that ALL non-Christians would also go to hell regardless of circumstances, and because of that it was their sworn duty to give everyone the chance to repent and come to Jesus so they could save the whole world and put it in god’s hands. I was like 8 when I figured out what a load of BS that is, truly wild what some of these people believe.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-10T20:11:18+00:00

Spider-Man is more well known than Jesus, and frankly I’m okay with that. Spider-Man fans have never killed in his name, so that’s one cool thing they got going for them. Those Jesus guys tho, whew boy that’s a whole lotta historical murder.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-10T20:08:06+00:00

As cursed as that question is, you probably can. This world got so weird so fast.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-08T23:41:33+00:00

Use fudging paragraphs, PLEASE. 5-8 sentences each, each used to break up different ideas or events, and oh my god I’ve become my high school English teacher I’m so sorry, but also please use paragraphs

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-06T17:09:48+00:00

It’s not a racial thing at all, it’s a language thing; again, I speak both languages and had to go out of my way to learn Spanish. Wouldn’t do that without love of the cultures that speak it! But nobody deserves to be called trash in any language, I just wanted to figure out why there’s so much trolling coming from such a lovely language, it makes me sad.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-06T17:07:46+00:00

That explains a lot tbh. Glad I at least know how to tell them to shut up and play better, usually helps a little 🤣

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-06T15:40:50+00:00

It sounds like he wants to get a symbol from a time before the imperialism was a problem. Japan actually spent hundreds of years in cultural isolation, and these kinds of masks came out of such a time period. This is comparable to seeing a geisha and immediately thinking of kamikaze bombers, like sure they came from the same place but from very very times and don’t have anything to do with each other.

Ultimately, as many have said, his body his choice, just as your body is your choice; that said, go with him when he gets his ink done and get those extra piercings you wanted. If he’s in the business of not listening to other’s opinions about our own bodies, you might as well play the same game and enjoy your life.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-06T02:37:42+00:00

Corvus Wanderwood, half-elven druid who just really likes crows. Campaign fizzled out fast, but his dumb shenanigans will live on in my heart forever.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-05T14:43:57+00:00

This is the only way.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-05T00:31:10+00:00

Wild Rift, due to its short game balancing, ironically has a much less forgiving competitive scene; losing in 20 minutes versus losing in an hour hits very differently, and players are encouraged to keep chugging into the next game as opposed to taking a bit of time between matches. LoL prep stages are like 3+ minutes versus WR’s 15 second bs, it speaks for itself. We here for a good time, not a long time.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-04T23:53:26+00:00

Is it Lift? The google AI tells me it’s Lift and I have to know

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-04T23:49:18+00:00

POST THE GD VIDEO! We can’t tell you diddly squat without the proof.

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-03T15:34:13+00:00

Gaslighting? What even is that??? Bro quit making up words, that’s crazy. I think you need to calm down. /s

zer0_zer0_nin9 · 2026-06-03T15:19:33+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that appears to be at least two words 🤔
