Me this morning, apparently

I actually don’t know, I stole this meme from some bird people.

I will try to track the og poster down and ask them for the source, as I am now curious as well.

This is really improper horse riding technique. Its nearly essential to yell ‘yee haw’ when doing any sort of horseback loop.

I also didn’t hear any “Whoa there” but that one is highly situational so may not apply.

I have never been able to successfully talk my friends into playing Starfinder.

Which is so frustrating because I find it interesting.

Oh most definitely. I don’t want my players to fail (if I can help it) and generally try to reward creative thinking, but also want their victories to be earned and not just fudged rolls or suddenly dumb NPCs.

I think where the line gets crossed is when they’re doing actions their character would never do, or they’re trying to poke holes in the set without a clear goal. I usually ask additional questions to see what they expect to happen (in case they are playing 4D chess), but sometimes they’re just trying to cause chaos, in which case I got to pull them aside and give them the talk.

In my experiences, every time someone does something incredibly bold like that, they get mad their actions have consequences.

I think some people really just want a DM to roll with their shenanigans all the time.

I think Eboshi is actually evil, but she’s charismatically evil so it comes off different.

She allows her own people to be bombed, she abandons the wounded from her caravan, and she’s effectively tricked the lepers into working to death for her. She could have given up on the forest spirit many times, but left irontown under siege so she could have a chance at killing a god.

She only cares about her people so long as they’re empowering her. She listened to Ashitaka talk balance but the minute he went to enforce it, she tried to kill him.

Every time she apologizes and says she will do better, and people forgive her, but she doesn’t actually change her ways.

I think this is why Ashitaka ultimately stays in the town - To basically keep her on the path and to her word. (I don’t recall if he literally says that)

Its hard lol. I rarely take pride on positives and mostly dwell on the negatives. Not good or healthy but what are you going to do.

Flaws are hard. I’ve gotten some pretty brutal review smackdowns for things that were largely out of my control, or things I was aware of but couldn’t fix in a satisfying way, and that just feels awful.

But on the flip side I got reviews that pointed out issues I had never seen or even noticed, or worded it in a way that clarified the issue, and those are helpful.

All you can really do is remember the dev is human at the end of the day. Full of flaws and likely jumped on a project too ambitious for their own good.

It seems like you got your taste of social media, decided you were essentially done with it and moved on.

I am just about in the same boat, I feel social media doesn’t offer me much that I value, and so I have been looking elsewhere.

Yeah the other reply noted the same thing. This would have been about ~2015 and she was in pre-k so someone must have named their kid based on the legend. I can’t recall if the girl was black or not but I don’t think she was.

Seems the article is from 2008, and the La-a I know of was in pre-k in ~2015, so it seems someone named their kid based on the legend.

La-a (Pronounced La-dash-ah) is the weirdest one I’ve seen

So actually to add onto this, this was bothering me so I had to look into it further:

I was very incorrect - Hyperspace isn’t a pocket dimension per se and you can hit things while moving through hyperspace. The reason they ‘sometimes’ get past shields is because shields have a refresh rate so it may be able to phase through if you get it just right.

I’m more with you on this now, its a little ridiculous that no ones really tried to weaponize hyperdrive engines.

As far as I know all droids in Star Wars have free will.

Han Solo gambled and won the Falcon from Lando (who appears well off), it was definitely too expensive for him to have bought normally.

I think the hyperspace battering ram is funky, but I believe it was less that it was a good tactical idea and more of the First Order being extremely arrogant by not having their shields up, not using a tractor beam, and not just sending a smaller ship forward to close the gap and blowing it up.

I think the movie wanted to show that they were savoring the victory and were willing to draw it out as they believed the rebels were drowning in hopelessness.

As I recall, hyperspace is like a pocket dimension. They just speed up a whole lot to enter hyperspace. So you can’t collide with things ‘in hyperspace’, but only as you’re going really fast while transitioning to hyperspace, which is quite a bit more limited in capability.

Hyperspace drives are expensive, and droids are sentient (so its still suicidal). Using it as a weapon would be like having an shotgun in an fps game, where the first 5 feet is extremely lethal to really big targets, whereas anything after that is a waste of time. Also each shot is $10k.

The real question would be why didn’t she just splat against the cruiser’s shields as they established that was a problem in the previous movie (when they need to hyperspace through the shielding of that planet), unless they had a Galaxy Quest moment where they forgot to flip the shields on.

They only have 7 days to fix the licensing or their licenses are revoked? Is Unity that hard up for cash?

I had correctly guessed she drowned, so I checked downstream of the thinner and shallower (waist deep) river side of the island, which was closer to the town.

But no. She drowned upstream of the island trying to cross the river at its broadest point and further out of the town, apparently.

I think Bethesda just wanted me to finally use up those potions of water breathing.

That quest here to find the missing sister is just the worst:

No map marker, quest giver gives misleading directions, the ‘obvious’ cave leads you through a completely unrelated dungeon, only way to finish the quest is find an incredibly small alchemist pouch buried in mud underwater in a strong current surrounded by tall foliage, only quest rewards are alchemy ingredients.

Yeah they’re centipede mechanoids. They’re usually very old/ancient when you find them, so I thought they fit well for this meme.

…Skipped?

You mean, saved the best for last?
