this ep coming so soon after laura’s fireside chat where she explicitly said she feels the need to check with matt after she makes character choices in the game and her having imogen use the ring of remembrance . travis SO incredibly real for his “can i just say how in love with you i am rn” he’s just like me fr. incredible imogen combat. INCREDIBLE.
#honestly laura has been On it. as always she has her haggle attempts but constantly checking matt & robbie on dorian’s foresight modifiers#the fucking. thunder transmutation. checking a bunch of mechanics that have funny little shit going on.#always a huge fan when she’s On The Ball and turns rules lawyer . her and sam both i think get overlooked re: their like. combat knowledge#(when they’re Locked In. whcih no judgement for the fact that they often are not. i don’t come to cr for flawless combat)#but they’re both silly goofies most of the time i think it overshadows both of them being . big brained#critical role#cr3#cr spoilers#laura bailey#imogen temult

Left is Legacy Collection, right is Ultimate Collection
Their way of improving performance is to just lower the amount of visiting sims on medium graphics settings for some reason?
#idk why anyone would play on medium settings nowadays#so this doesn't do shit#but also this can easily be modified by players anyway#i am just overall confused with the thought process here#and now i'm wondering if there are more lazy edits in the graphics rules that i haven't caught yet#sims 2#sims 2 legacy collection

Soft follow-up to my Monumential post. We don’t know much about Lemuria and the Monumentials themselves, aside from the fact that Lemuria sank six thousand years prior to the show, and the Monumentials have been around for at least a little longer than that. Long enough that Lemuria already had more than one device to control them, and effectively enough that it seemed to be a somewhat militant thing. At least that’s what the intention was when the Benthos line tried to usurp Doreus.
But that’s all we know. There’s not much information about how long the Monumentials had been around, or what Lemuria was like in regard to the rest of the world. Which means it’s a whole entire sandbox for us six fans to play with. I’ve already talked about how I also like to imply that the Monumentials aren’t from this world, but I also like to play with Lemuria’s origins, the Nekton and Benthos’s families connection to one another, and all sorts of other stuff. Each AU I have tends to have slightly different origins or functions when it comes to Lemuria and the Monumentials lore, but I’ve built an entire background for the Monumentials and how they’re linked to Lemuria’s history.
I’m writing this because I’ve been revising and editing my Subnautica/The Deep story, and all the above is pretty important to the story itself, aside from a few tweaks to make it fit with the games lore
#having an entire civilization with little to no information can be GREAT for fanfic writers sometimes#it means you can come up with whatever you want to make it fit with your fanfic#i always have some sort of consistency in background and rules and lore. but i usually modify it to fit with the fanfics setting#its always fun thinking of ways to make things fit like an eccentric puzzle#the only fanfic I’m writing i can think of where i talk about all this in the story is my Subnautica crossover#which I’m in the middle of revising right now#i wrote a bunch. added a bunch of stuff. changed the writing format. and so am now revising what I’ve written#i don’t think I’ll be posting anything about it near as much as I’ve posted about my HTTYD crossover#im gonna be posting it a bit differently#Subnautica/the deep crossover#the deep 2015#the deep cartoon#the deep lemuria#the deep monumentials

I had to open the ship combat rules doc I made for Rook's campaign the other day, and man, that thing was (and still is tbh) my fucking magnum opus. I put so much effort into creating rules for a type of combat that dnd doesn't naturally support, and it was SUCH a fun challenge. I'll admit it's not perfect, but it works for our campaign, and everyone seemed to like it during our one test so far, so that's good enough for me.
I think between the stat blocks, the rules themselves, and the maps of the ships, I spent easily 48 hours total on making this sailing arc happen. (No, I'm not the DM, I just like homebrewing shit, and also happen to be the one who decided to play a pirate and make that involved in the story.)
#morrigan.text#morrigan plays dnd#dnd#if anyone wants to read the ship combat rules doc or anything just lmk. I will gladly share the link. This thing is my baby.#actually if anyone ever wants to see ANY of my dnd stuff I'll gladly share. I need to find a nicer way to share it than roll20 screenshots.#I will accept any suggestions as to how to do that and also gladly welcome any chance to infodump about my silly little homebrew shit.#it's so funny because I think that a lot of people would look at the stuff I do for this DM and go ''huh??? why??? you're a player???''#and yet MORE that I've promised to make but haven't done yet. (Like the fucked up Nightwalkers I'm using the Aeor monsters as a base for.)#but it's genuinely so much fun for me and I practically BEG him to let me do this stuff lmao.#I've made SEVERAL maps (both battle and regional) and well over a dozen stat blocks for this campaign.#probably close to two dozen atp actually. I mean the Sea Snake crew alone was at least 4 stat blocks plus the 3 ships.#and then there's the Drowned Maidens we're fighting next session. And the Tentacle Monster and the Sea Drake.#and the beefed-up Kuo-Toa plus their idol and the Marriages.#so what's that. 13 stat blocks for just the first part of the sailing arc?#and then there's the wind roc/phoenix thing I made for Red Lotus Island.#and three chimeras I made for the labs. So that's 17. And I know for a fact there's more I'm forgetting about.#my all-caster party is going to hate me lmao. (It's fine. 90% of the monsters I make are worse for me (the rogue) than anyone else.)#as for maps I made the map of Red Lotus island and I made all three ship maps (which took probably close to 24hours total)#and I made a map for the fight against Andrassi THE NIGHT BEFORE THE SESSION (by voluntary choice).#idk I just have fun with this kind of thing. I'm not organized enough to DM a campaign but I love figuring out technical challenges.#I mean. that makes a lot of sense since dnd and its mechanics is literally my special interest. So. Not really surprising.#oh and for my (heavily modified) CoS game I made a super powerful divine assassin of the Raven Queen for us to meet.#he's cool as hell. His name is Kazimir and his stat block is absolutely insane.#it's almost 3am why am I like this. time to go the fuck to sleep!!!

Catan-Risk-ThreeKingdomsKill: How To Lose All Your Friends in One Evening
#I've only played each of these games under 5 times do not come at me for this#I don't even own copies of them to try and make rules#Would be a lot of fun if anybody I knew offline was willing to do bullshit like this with me#Can you play this with shang qi pieces?#I've always wanted to advance armies from multiple territories in Risk#How many people would you even need to play the game of the century? At least six for the TTK dynamics I would say.#Imagine how much you would need to modify the board for Catan.#I guess you could make different units with the TTK general cards and the shang qi pieces#I should just run battles in a sandbox or something lol

game changer's rulette could be adapted into a fun board game SO easily and tbh? it would be SO fun
#gamechanger#i can see it already#a little spinner in the box#and some cards that say rule or prompt or modifier#and a little white board card for the clone one#maybe it ends after a certain amount of points?#omg does one player have to paul refereeno?#or is that what the rule book is called#this has so mich potential#sam reich. please

Would you say that Pieces timeline occurs because Rosalie fails an insight check in the ritual chamber?
Unfortunately, my low wis queen very rarely passed Insight checks lmao, so I don't think it hinges on that, necessarily.
I once described Ascension as the perfect storm for this pairing, (which is why Pieces happened at all). It requires Rosalie to not make the persuasion check, and then for Astarion to be left to his own devices at the precise wrong moment. So, it's less caused by a failed Insight check, and more by Rosalie experiencing a bunch of sudden self doubt at her approach to the entire ordeal: does she have a right to tell Astarion what to do? Does she understand what he's going through? Is being bossy the right answer or should she let him be free to make his own choices?
I make jokes about Rosalie being a moral policeman all the time, but... idk if this is everyone's experience of autistic justice, but it sometimes feels excessive or too much. Rosalie feels like a killjoy, at times. She feels annoying. She feels uncool. She wishes she didn't have to tell her friends what to do all the time. So I see the Pieces timeline as stemming from her suddenly doubting herself enough to step down, rather than having the confidence to step up.
To be honest, I think it has very little to do with Astarion in that moment, beyond her witnessing the full horror of what his previous life was like.
#asks#anons#wip: pieces still stuck in your teeth#(also i once had a fight in the comments of a fic chapter so i'll clarify: wis 10 isn't that low. but insight 10 is.)#(bc most characters who actively try to deceive have a deception proficiency. so if you have no insight modifier you'll rarely reach the DC#(plz don't make me do a D&D rules lawyering speech ever again)

You're more amazing than functionally no rares
Made some Duskmourn cards and also thought about the upcoming set currently known as "Death Race" and got in a vehicle mood





#custom cards#custom magic card#just checked and saw that the comprehensive rules update for duskmourn released. toy is indeed a creature type. not an artifact type#however: wotc is wrong and i'm better than them#anyway i have NO idea how strong Elian Purr of Unity is#i've barely gotten to use enlist so idk#the buffing effect probably isn't TOO strong since it's weaker than those “power/toughness are equal to number of creatures you control”#but 1 mana to give everything enlist? that's. big. idk if it's good but it's big#i made Kitty Joyrider because red-white and white-blue have gotten vehicle themes so i gotta complete the jeskai vehicles trio#vehicles triggering prowess is a silly little synergy that helps it crew vehicles and passing the buff onto the vehicle is cool i think#granting haste ties the whole package together. no reason for the kitty itself to have haste but it felt obligatory#i modified it just now to make it properly grant prowess so that it synergizes with combat tricks. because of course#also i'm really satisfied with Elian Cozy Plushsuit#not much to say about it i just love everything about it#oh wait i do have a thing to say! rule 208.3a#if a power/toughness changing effect is applied to a noncreature permanent the effect still applies and will work if it becomes a creature#so Cozy Plushsuit gets the buff when you tap a creature to crew it even though the trigger resolves before it becomes a creature#technically Kitty Joyrider and Veteran Motorist also take advantage of this rule but “crews a vehicle” is a little vague on timing#so you might assume the ability triggers after the vehicle becomes a creature#Anyway! the plushsuit works exactly as intended and synergizes beautifully with other vehicles#i'm not sure whether it synergizes with enlist#you tap the creature “as” you attack. does it become tapped at the same time as the attackers?#wait! 508.1f and 508.1g! tapping attackers and paying “as you attack” costs are separate steps! it synergizes!#actually 508.1g is deciding whether to pay costs. 508.1j is when you pay the costs and it says you pay them in any order#that means that multiple enlists happen separately! perfect synergy!#i had to make it “one or more” because otherwise it would be really easy to get multiple triggers just by attacking with lots of creatures#so as a side effect i get to dig around in the rules to analyze the timing of exactly when things happen#okay i'm approaching the tag limit now so bye#ka asks

the thing about the prescriptive grammar rules of written french from my perspective as a non-fluent reader is that they are very helpful to me in figuring out what a sentence means (e.g., if a participle does or does not end in -e or -s, it gives me an important and sometimes essential clue as to which noun the participle is related to). but the other, equally relevant thing about the prescriptive grammar rules of written french from my perspective as a non-fluent reader is that there are a lot of them and i do not always know what they are. lol.
#for example the rule about modifying the participle to agree with the direct object#when the direct object occurs earlier in the sentence than the participle (except when the direct object is a pronoun)#(e.g. les bananes qu'elle avait mangées instead of mangé)#is so useful to me but french people are like oh that rule is obsolete and i'm like 😭 but i was relying on it...#because it allows me to eliminate possibilities. if that rule is in place then i can rule out several possible nouns#(any that aren't feminine and plural)#but if that rule is not in place then it's the wild west out here#on the other hand. i was today years old when i learned that the participle in a compound tense of a reflexive verb#does not have to agree in number and gender with the subject if the reflexive pronoun can be understood to be an indirect object#which in retrospect seems obvious. but is news to me???#french#my posts

just had a magical little story idea that could so easily be RCU but now RCU has established canon and rules and magic that it would totally break so it tragically cant. devastating
#RCU established world with internal consistent logic???? and rules??? and parameters???? (affectionate)#rando cinematic universe#adventures in writing#it was a witch related thing and there are not witches in RCU#UNLESS you count the alchemist monster hunters but i would have to modify it severely to make it fit them#hmmm

#ff7#sephiroth#ffvii#i was bored during the commute and was witnessing many a bad driver#so now i'm curious what everyone else thinks#i feel like it could go either way#might write a fic on the results#because on one hand he strikes me as someone very rule oriented#thus it would make sense for him to follow traffic laws to a T#on the other#he's a genetically modified supersoldier with superior strength speed reflexes etc#he could pull off maneuvres that would pancake a lesser driver

I deadass need to write down the ruleset for how Mask talks istg. I need to be able to reference it on the fly when I'm in the flow/editing
#Like it's not based after any specific foreign accent but there are meant to be clearly defined rules#Like no verb will ever be conjugated in the past tense.#Everything is present tense w/ a modifier word to indicate past (ie has. before. back)#So no “we went somewhere” instead it's “we has going somewhere”#Things like negatives are also a little weird. “don't” is only used when in relation to people. “not” is exclusively used for items/things#“at” and “for” when used to indicate an actions directed to people is replaced by “to”#“aiming at wind” becomes “aiming to wind”#And then things like questions are typically just statements with a question mark#“are you fifteen?” Becomes “you're being fifteen?”#But those are the easy ones. There's other ones that have conditions on them#If x+y+z when n then 1. While x+y only when n then 2.#I gotta write this shit down y'all I'm losing so much time (and sanity) making sure my Mask dialogue is consistent

taskmaster international iceberg
#dont talk to me about the international versions being bad until youve watched at least one english language version and one not#auuuuu. im literally not even joking. on tmpp someone said they like taskmaster Philosophically and i agree with that#but i also view taskmaster Scientifically. this is a worldwide scientific research effort on comedians' brains. to me#gemitus#😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#Like when guy said how he loves how tasks are Constructed. like he literally gets it (also why spelling bee is good)#in the international versions when they reuse tasks you see 1) extra data on other ways of winning and or 2)#if they modified the rules did it work as well as it did. was it funnier was it harder was there a cultural or logistical reason etc. hello
