I wasn’t expecting anyone to understand without context(you can just find the context if you’re curious), and I’m not chronically online for being saddened by something horrible happening to someone I, in some way, idolize. Also, this isn’t internet drama, it’s a person being harassed and cyberbullied out of their career.
Technically for the story in that skit, though, the race of the other party was relevant. The mention of “you know how I like a little asian” provides relevancy to the fact that they’re asian(and probably also to the other man being black), because it’s a story about a sexual encounter with them. Nothing wrong with having a type.
I don’t think mentioning it is inherently racist(y’know, without the added context that it’s fucking 4chan), it’s just that it’s irrelevant, and therefore kind of weird. As they mentioned, if the person were notably tall, that also wouldn’t have any relevance, so unless you’re just specifically calling attention to it because it’s strange to you, which would be racist if used when describing someone’s race, it’s very strange to just suddenly say that they are that adjective without it being necessary for the story.
My biggest problem is that searches don’t fucking work anymore. It now defaults to searching the channel you’re in, but what if I’m look for a particular message and I don’t know what channel it’s in? Then there’s also searching PMs is so much more complicated now and doesn’t even show you who sent the message in the results.
To each their own, but I think removing the differing life spans makes the races more flat and indistinct.
Personally I think they’re twice as flat and indistinct when they all live to be 450 years at minimum. From Half-elves to Dwarves to fucking fish people, everything seems to live ten times as long as humans do in fantasy. I agree differing lifespans is interesting, but humans shouldn’t be dying at less than a quarter of the lifespan of everything else.
Now THIS is a real Swiss Army Man.
High School Tech Theatre Teacher. Many of the teachers in the theatre department at that school had somewhat of a reputation. This one, I felt at first, might’ve been unearned. She seemed genuinely good at her job, besides the occasional slip-up. During one class period, she explained to the class that she expects us to set up our big giant table and the chairs for it(It was a rather unfinished building specifically for the theatre department with no actual classrooms, so our classroom was actually just a square nook in a hallway.) before class began so we could through lessons faster. Reasonable request, that’s fine, we were getting rather…nothing done for awhile because of how janky it was to have a classroom setting like that. That’s not necessarily her fault.
One class, though, there were some band students moving their instruments - talking cellos, saxophones, tubas, entire drumsets, and other big and/or fragile instruments and class materials - to the auditorium nextdoor through said classroom which was…just a hallway. Y’know, using the hallway as it’s supposed to be used, rather than as a classroom. We, as people with common sense, didn’t start moving around our heavy class materials likely to cause injuries just to make the path even narrower than it already was. Once class started, teacher RAILED at us for about a minute. She was clearly SEETHING as she ranted about how when she says to do something we do it. One student tried to explain our reasoning for the delay, even saying “There were other students moving heavy stuff through here. Why would we form a big block?” Her response?
“Why would you not?” I am not fucking joking, those were her exact words. She then interrupted him before he could respond and told him he was saying he didn’t care what she had to say and he was being disobedient. When he tried again to explain himself she threatened to send him to the principal.
This was not the only thing she did that proved to me she was a power-tripping removed who saw us students as her inferiors, but it was the one thing I just can’t get out of my mind because of just how absurd it was in the moment. The only funny part was that she didn’t even realize she was taking up MORE class time than we took setting up as she raved about such a petty issue because we apparently questioned her authority.
The Roaches. I can simply kill the person. I could claim insurance for the damage caused by the roaches.
Aren’t spell ingredients made meaningless by the focus
Not spell components that are consumed. Also, I’ll just leave this post of mine here.
Hm. How much of a nerf would it actually be? Not really all that sure, and I suppose if Undead are so much weaker for some reason it would make sense(still silly and weird though, like you said).
I can sort of understand - a lot of players unfortunately just kinda wanna roll dice and kill monsters. I say, though, that if that’s what you wanna do, play a martial. (Note: I fully realize the way martials are designed is still bad and they absolutely need to be able to do more than just hit things, but as of their current design my point stands.)
Ha, you like to pretend you are charismatic and able to establish relationships or push social progress - but it is merely a simulation with blinking lights…
But then why not, as briefly mentioned in the post, just make it a heritage instead? It would make more sense in general anyway. As I was looking I also saw at LEAST two other “back-from-the-dead” backgrounds, so there wouldn’t even really be anything lost.
just tick a box when you’ve got a half-upgrade
Really? They went with the most obvious and lame solution? Damn.
I do like the suggestion of restricting the boost the same as or similarly to skills, but regardless you’re right - one is going to come across some sort of issue no matter how you do it, because they didn’t design the game with that in mind. Perhaps it’s the only glaring symptom of this change being sort of a last-minute get WOTC-off-our-backs?
All of these changes are honestly great IMO. They’re mostly renaming, and as mentioned somewhere else ITT, it’s clearly because of WOTC being absolute hacks with their licensing; Consequently, though, it makes all of the language so much more…natural. Clear, even. The few mechanical changes I’m sure will be well-received(dunno about the wish one, but the new ideas for genies, attribute modifiers instead of ability scores and ESPECIALLY removal of alignment are just good), so I think it’s actually going to be a huge improvement, even if it was only out of necessity.
Mememonger is a real term that has been used in serious discussion. Political discussion in the United States, but…still serious discussion.
