Susaga , to RPGMemes in How mysterious!

Adventure is Nigh (a D&D actual play starring Yahtzee) had both a prisoner and a guard called Jeremy in episode 1. It was pointed out, so roughly a quarter of the NPCs in season 1 were named Jeremy.

Nah, do what Adventure is Nigh did. The first NPC they met was Jeremy Goodsex, and when a guard yelled at another guard, he used the name Jeremy. He then argued that it's a very common name, and lots of people are called Jeremy.

So for every NPC in season 1, about a quarter had the name Jeremy. It's a very common name.

Don't forget the Tease-dere! "Okay, so which of you touched the door handle again? ...The door opens. No, there wasn't a trap, I was just asking, haha."

Susaga , to RPGMemes in Gender at the table

But it's a specific he. It's referring to a specific person.

And why is a generic pronoun male?

@Susaga@sh.itjust.works avatar

I disagree. Superman has as much depth as Batman. He's just more morally pure, and people mistake "dark" for "complex".

What does being a robot have to do with anything? He still has male pronouns.

Susaga , to Ask Lemmy in What is the best movie to watch without sound?
@Susaga@sh.itjust.works avatar

I'm gonna disagree with that first part. In most movies, the music is created to fit the footage. This is a rare feature-length movie where the footage is created to fit the music. As such, the visuals will warp to fit a score that, if you're watching it silently, isn't there.

It'll look cool, but there will be parts that look weird and you won't be sure why.

I mean, it was very clearly designed with the music in mind. Without it, you'll notice the loops and sped up movements a lot more, and it'll make less sense without the music.

"He's"

So Gender is male? Interesting.

They said "design cues", not "designs". Research, don't plagiarise.

Actually, a good number of dungeons have a room or two you can completely skip. These usually hold bonus loot, like rupees or pieces of heart.

Heck, that shrine in BotW with the ball maze apparatus. Most people just flip it over and skip the maze. Some even just bomb jump over the gate and skip the apparatus.

Instead, I recommend you just accept that you might work on something the players won't see. Save that stuff for later.

Sorry, did that lorry driver seriously say Nigel Farage has charisma? The man who evokes a slug you step on in the rain without killing, but don't feel bad enough to stop and apologise to? Just say you like that he's racist and stop bullshitting.

Susaga , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in What's your "back pocket" wish?
@Susaga@sh.itjust.works avatar

I wish for my bestie's good physical and mental health. Preferably, she'll attain both at once in a way where she feels she earned it for herself.

Susaga , to Ask Lemmy in People who still wear masks (and aren't immunocompromised)...
@Susaga@sh.itjust.works avatar

A facemask is a visible sign of casual compassion. It's a sign that you aren't going to let your own poor situation make anyone else's life harder, and don't want anyone to suffer needlessly. There are some people who don't care about others, but they also don't want to appear cruel, so their only recourse is to tear apart symbols of kindness and claim themselves superior for being "smarter" or "more honest".

That's my understanding of the "stigma", but I can't judge everyone.

Susaga , to Ask Lemmy in what is the actual meaning of "would" and "could"?
@Susaga@sh.itjust.works avatar

Would is a hypothetical will. "Would you dance" is a general query, but "will you dance" is a call to action. A lot of the time, would is followed by if, as in, "would you dance if I asked you to?"

"Would you like coffee" is a round-about way to ask if you want coffee. Full form would be "if I brought you coffee, would you like it?"

Past tense is "would have", such as "would you have liked coffee?" This is generally a missed opportinuty where you didn't do something, and you're asking so you can know more for the future. Saying "I would have" generally means "I didn't."
