2023.06.09 17:06 No-Raisin329 Let's-a-make Luigi's Scenes

Well, once again talking about Luigi. Look, I thought we could put together a scene of him running away. Who wants to participate, complete the part that I will do here, and so on.
The scene opens with Luigi already being arrested, so he talks to the penguins, Lumalee and Yoshi (yes! The main Yoshi will be one of the prisoners). In this, there is a dialogue more or less similar, however, Yoshi responds to Luigi more calmly, explaining that he has studied the entire place, and has no way to escape.
Cut to the scene of Mario, Peach and Toad arriving in Kingdom Kong, Mario defeats DK and etc. So, once again it cuts to the prisoners talking, however, Luigi has studied the place a little more, he has met the prisoners and now he has an idea to escape
Now complete with your idea!!

2023.06.09 16:59 QueenoftheROUSes Adventures in buying donuts

I was really craving an apple fritter this morning, so I went on down to my local small donut shop. When I got to the register to check out, there was a sign on the counter that said "ALL SALES FINAL. NO RETURNS." So I asked the lady "Do people really try to return donuts?"
And she goes "Yeah!" And the she calls to her man in the back (in Spanish): "Hey love, this lady read the sign and wanted to know if people really return donuts!" And so the guy comes out from the back and goes "No, not too much, but we have to be careful." And the lady starts vigorously shaking her head at him and goes "No, no, you don't work up here as much, they do, they do!"
And I just kind of started giggling, because I was picturing in my head somebody buying a donut and then walking outside, licking it like a hippy who just found a magical toad, and then coming back in like "Hey, this chocolate tastes subpar, I want a refund!" And they asked what I was laughing about and so I told them, and then they both started giggling, and before I knew it we were just three strangers standing in a donut shop cracking up like idiots. It reminded me of the ending of an episode of a cheesy 90s sitcom, where the main characters are all frozen laughing while the credits roll.
Can anyone remember a situation like that? Where something kind of silly or relatively mundane struck you just right and you couldn't stop laughing?

2023.06.09 16:51 MOONPETAL555 Is Yasuo Bottom Troll?

I know he’s not the most meta bot laner. But is he considered a “troll” pick? I’m trying to narrow down my pool for midlane and trying to have champs that can flex in other roles when I’m autofilled. As of now my pool is:
Yasuo: mid/bottom/top Yone: mid/top Sylas: mid Shen: mid/top/support Zed: mid/jungle
I’m not TOO concerned with the viability of the flex roles, as I’ll only be playing them when I’m auto-filled, that said, I wouldn’t want to tilt my team with these picks.
Thoughts on this?

2023.06.09 16:27 Wyverni Why DnD Monsters Suck and Why I love Passive Traits

One of the major issues with DnD is the monster design - it often doesn't lead to a good tactical or narrative experience and puts a heavy burden on DMs to make combat enjoyable. But I think there's an often overlooked solution: Passive Traits!
And WOTC has added some great passive traits, but sadly they are often few and far between. I'd like to explain why I love passive traits, and want to see more of them in DnD.

Design that Informs

The wolf has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the wolf's allies is within 5 feet of the creature.

Pack tactics is a prime example, it's intuitive to understand and gives players an interesting challenge to overcome - but even better it informs the DM how to play this creature in combat.

Weaving Mechanics and Narrative

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.

The best passives can create a narrative moments from simple mechanics. Why do people love mimics? Because it's a strong narrative moment starting of a combat with style. Not to mention, this single line has inspired DMs to design countless ways to surprise their players.

Where are all the Weaknesses?

The troll regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If the troll takes acid or fire damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of the troll's next turn. The troll dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Trolls are iconic, but so are their weaknesses! Nearly every player knows to use fire against trolls, this simple passive inspires players to come up with creative ways to stop the regeneration. It rewards players being curious and investigating, and doing something other than just attacking.

Creating our own Passive Traits

Passive Traits are fantastic because they can easily be remixed, applied to different creatures, and adapted from other turn based games. While I'd love for WOTC to make more passive traits, we can easily create our own:

Adapting Narrative Moments into Passive Traits

As mentioned above, good passive traits can create narratives in combat - so how about we reverse engineer a common narrative moment into a trait. From avenging a fallen comrade, to a bear being laser focused on a hero who just poked it.

Avenger - Whenever this creature sees one of it's kind die, it gains advantage on it’s next attack.
Blind Rage - When the bear falls under half hit points it enters a blind rage. The bear has disadvantage on all attacks directed to targets other than the enemy that caused it to drop below half hit points.

Also note how blind rage is also a weakness that can be exploited by a cunning adventurer, weaknesses make your players feel smart!

Adapting Other Game Mechanics into Passive Traits

Rock Solid - Each health point on this creature must be removed individually

This is a trait taken from Slice And Dice, and all we need to do is simply change the language a little bit and we now have our new trait:

Rock Solid- All damage rolls to hurt the Golem are reduced to 1.

But why stop here, all passive traits can be broken down into two parts:

What causes the trait to be activated
The effect of the trait

Vitality - When the Gnoll is attacked and has full health, all damage rolls to hurt the Gnoll are reduced to 1.
Slate - Treat all dice in damage rolls to hurt the golem as if they had rolled a 1.

Hopefully I've got your mind spinning with ideas!

Conclusion

I like passive traits, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

2023.06.09 16:27 Whokneewankenobi Santa Fe movie culture

We’re a couple in our Mid and late 20’s. Personally I love going to the movies, have since I was young. I’d say I watch too many movies and have taken deep dives into “So bad it’s good” territory countless times. The Room and Troll 2 were peak. Other than that I try to make it to most major releases.
How is the general Movie going experience?
I’m not a fan of commentary during films, I try to pick theaters or times that aren’t generally packed. Really like ordering ahead of time online.
Does Santa Fe show out say for Marvel films? Is there an underground film scene?
Thanks ahead of time.

2023.06.09 16:09 queenliz2fr Do you think that Ron could give Harry a run for his money in a fair duel?

Unfortunately we never really get to see Ron duel on-page but Tonks praises his abilities to fend off Death Eaters during the battle of the seven Potters. Also we know he managed to single-handedly fight off an gang of snatchers and even managed to steal a wand from one of them before escaping. Some other significant things he pulled off (from a martial magic use standpoint): he knocked out a troll at 11 with a spell he barely learned that day and he seems to have done pretty well in the battle of DoM until being attacked by the brains. So, disregarding any bashing or the dumb comedic relief sidekick from the movies, do you think Ron would be able to hold his own against Harry in a duel. I don't expect Harry to lose as he is a much quicker thinker on his feet, but Ron should also be a decent strategist as well, considering his proficiency in chess.

2023.06.09 16:07 milkmanbran Can someone help me verify that I am not being scammed?

Hello all,
I got a job offer and they emailed me a check and want me to cash it with my banks mobile app in order to buy office supplies from a certified vendor. Everything so far has seemed legit, the emails used, the HR process, except for the lack of interview (they asked me typical questions with a time limit to answer which makes sense for the role) . They asked me questions via an app called signal. If it’s a scam they put in a lot of effort to look legit (no spelling errors in their writing, everything was in perfect English and professional). I looked up the company and they are real, they have mostly 1 star reviews on indeed due to incompetent management.
I don’t want to cash the check until I have reasonable assurance this is a legit offer. I called the bank on the check, but they couldn’t verify or deny anything.
What else can I do to verify this? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide
Edit: thanks fam. I was extremely suspicious and didn’t do anything until I could verify this wasn’t right. I’m now trolling the scammer lol

2023.06.09 16:06 Araknhak In response to u/BlessedOfStorms and his reply on my post

Here's a link to the comment I'm replying to.

All right, If I'm not mistaken, you're of the sort whose opinions aren't necessarily dependent on any real life facts, someone that no matter what favors the dictations of his own ideological principles over reality. But for the sake of those few people that will read this, I'll respond to your comment, as I think this is an important topic.

I'd be interested to see the statistics.

Well, sure, here's one study that mentions it. And for those reading, here's a short extraction from the study's summary: *In all developed countries, women, especially mothers, work fewer paid hours than their spouses. Which is a kinda silly discussion since it's pretty widely known that women generally choose less time demanding careers than men; take jobs in the scientific field and manager positions, for example (here's a study mentioning this, and here's another). And I mean, logically speaking, if this wasn't the case, tell me who would be home taking care of the children? If you don't understand how much of a challenge it is for women to balance between children's care-giving and their career, then you have some serious self-education to do.

I'm fairly certain that woman are pursuing and completing post-secondary education in greater numbers than men. Again, I'd be interested in seeing you statistics.

[For this comment, I'll borrow from an answer of mine, to some other comment on this post, here it goes.] This is true in the sense that modern western universities are experiencing a larger number of female students, and at the same time a decline in male students. But, which is a pretty relevant but, the majority of women will not pursue 'scientific' careers in the same scale as men do (here's a link to one study where this is mentioned). Not to mention the fact that the majority of women will sacrifice their careers for the sake of spending more time with their children. Those factors combined create the aforementioned pattern of men being more 'scholar' than women, since most women's studies will be of secondary importance to them in relationship to the requirements of their motherhood. A side note is that I probably should've used the word 'scholar' instead of 'academic'; I excuse myself with the fact that english is my third language.

Again, I'd love to see the source for it. I'm not saying it's untrue. But it seems to be the center of your argument.

I already linked studies on this subject. But seriously, if you need a scientific study to explain to you that women's time spent with their children necessarily take away from their pursuits of scholarly endeavors, then I'm not sure what a scientific study can do for you. Do you read a scientific paper relating to the human necessity of taking a dump, before you squat down to do your business, as well? It's funny how it's the most fact-denying people that will be the ones mostly prepared to demand proof deemed by them to be 'scientific', in an argument where they don't have anything other than their ideological rigidity on their sides.

I feel I gave you two examples of characters that well represent motherhood.

I'm not talking about if women are portrayed in a positive or negative light, but rather how realistic their portrayal is. And as I wrote in reply to other comments on this post, motherhood is a sort of 'sideshow' or 'hobby' throughout The Stormlight Archives series. Which isn't a realistic portrayal of real life women. And here's another study for you, mentioning the fact that more women than men deem their families to be the most important aspects of their lives. Which makes motherhood neither a hobby nor a sideshow in women's lives.

I honestly don't understand how youve come to this conclusion. Hesina's character is centered in motherhood. Navani is a mother with grown children. That doesn't make motherhood a hobby or side hustle by any means.

It's hard to talk about Navani and Hesina precisely for the fact that their children are grown up. But when it comes to Navani, for example, it's hardly a good portrayal of women at all, since throughout 2 books and a half, I haven't got a single memory of her acting in a motherly way towards neither one of her children. So where's the motherly character, whose personality is worthy of the aforementioned study? I mean, let me ask you, if you grew up with both your parents, when you were a little child, did your mother spend equal time taking care of and working/studying?

Which one of the female characters is the perfect woman? Which one is meant to be presented as a perfect person? The entire series is about people being flawed.

'Perfect' as a synonym to the word 'ideal'. Although all of his characters have their flaws and struggles, there is definitely a pattern of idealism in the Alethi society, for example, that matches his left-leaning ideology. One simple example is 'logic' and 'scholarship' are ideals of that society. Which clearly is an attempt to show how functional such a society would be: which implicit tells the reader that real world's society's gender specific choices are nothing but a consequence of culture. A claim with very little basis in reality, which clearly goes against the studies I linked to this reply.

Not every woman is a mother, that does not make them less real. All of the women he has portrayed could be considered real. They do not need to be mothers to be real women. Again I would argue that Hesina is a representation of true motherhood.

First of all, I never said that women need to be mothers to be real women, so that's a shameless strawman from your side; and I don't believe it either. But you present exceptions to the rule as if they were the rule. The typical postmodernist reasoning. No, not all women are mothers, but most women are, at some point in their lives. And yes, all women portrayed in the series could be considered real, variation is real, yes. But my problem is the ratio of Sandersons portrayal, when it comes to relevant characters. Sorry but no, most women in real life are not scholars and warriors.

This leaves me feeling like you are just trolling. Motherhood =/= women's true personalities. There are many women who's identity is centered on being a mother and there are many that are not. This idea is you doing exactly what you are accusing Sanderson of. You seem to be projecting your ideals of what being a woman is as the real or true woman.

Once again, you're strawmanning me. I'm not saying that motherhood is women's true personality. What I'm saying is that women generally tend to view motherhood as the most important aspect of their lives. And in the broader context of my criticism of The Stormlight Archive: Sanderson's portrayal of motherhood as a sort of 'hobby' in women's lives, make the series portrayal of women fall short of being realistic. That's all.
