ok bud. perhaps it’s time to go huff some paint or something

I think I have a larger problem with the label you chose - serial killer - when you really may have intended mass murderer.

I revile the dude’s saga, but he wasn’t attempting to be a serial killer.

serial killer

? the only one he killed was himself.

It’s already escaped it’s sandbox.

have repaired my oven twice (15 years) and dryer three times (16 years). it’s amazing how many appliances can be repaired if people just take the time to dig into it.

unless it has a screen. fuck everything about that shit.

I wish I could find another chest freezer like the one we had in texas. Thing was 400lbs of insulation with a compressor that withstood 25+ years of texas garage heat. Never failed once.

is there something in 5e for paired weapons then?

In actual reality people are quite bad at coordinating similar weapons and don’t get much benefit out of it.

so this is what led me to really think on this one: if people are inherently bad going at it with two of the same, a specialization / class benefit / perk whatev that made each weapon equally effective would incentivize that pursuit.

know it’s very much fantasy. rapier and buckler / parrying dagger / daisho - these let you use your dominant arm for the larger weapon and play defensively (esp buckler) - same with a knight wielding a shield and sword - to my goofy logic this wouldn’t require a special skill or perk, hence wouldn’t be dual wielded.

but, as stated in other replies, I’m also probably mixing up rpg systems like palladium’s rules too, because most of my playtime was a few decades ago lol, and tho I played AD&D and 2.5, I payed a lot more tmnt.

ooh tingly

It literally means that you are wielding two. Not a pair.

guess that makes sense.

that is helpful.

I probably am also getting mixed memories from playing TMNT/palladium, which had some kind of specialization for two of the same weapons… unless my brain is absolute tapioca, which, considering the hellscape out there, isn’t much of a stretch…

lol wtf…

portugal has gone plaid - what is that, base or acid?

weird… am I the only one who grew up w/ ‘dual wielding is two weapons of the same kind’ table rule? hence, the dual label…

yeah their detachment from reality is getting kinda wild

something that’s occurring to me this morning:

it’s not enough that the potter fans want to have their fun; it’s not enough that they’re willing to ignore the hateful baggage and fund hate against their communities - I suspect there’s another aspect.

They’re upset we won’t shut up and come along. They genuinely resent that people have a line, have found a limit to what they’ll accept, because apparently they don’t have that line, that limit of what’s OK, and they resent people reminding them that they really should.

well put

it’s hard. I love the Sandman. I won’t watch it going forward, knowing Gaiman’s violence. I have the entire collected series, doubt ever read 'em again.

this is life: we change our plans when faced with reality, every day. you can choose to ignore the bigotry, but I choose to find new things to consume.

so you pirate it - but why? why would you want to consume something you know was made by someone who is awful?

did you play much vr? because it was huge.

Not only their own waste, but other radionucleotides - it’s very impressive. I’d love to see a crash program to develop a modular thorium reactor that could eat this stuff.
