#without a tank

[clanoffelidae]

How to politely ask my group’s cleric to stop trying to play dps with her spells slots and to save them for healing because everyone else in our party is dps and I, the paladin, am currently having to play tank, healer (for myself mostly, shock and awe), and try to get some melee dps in on the side and it would be a lot less stressful if I knew I could count on her to get me back up after getting downed but I cannot

I love having nieces and nephews under the age of four. Family dinner used to start at 6 p.m., and I'd be there until 9 or 10 p.m.

Now dinner is at 4 p.m. sharp, and everyone has to leave by 7 p.m. MAX to avoid disrupting bedtime, and my chronically ill, fatigued ass is like, say no more. I'm gone. I'm back in my bed by 8 with my dog and my safe foods and something quiet on the tv so I can recover.

Amazing. Incredible. No notes. Pass the potato chips and electrolytes.

Even CNN is reporting the truth more now. But if you are held without being charged, you aren’t a prisoner, you’ve been kidnapped and are a HOSTAGE. And human rights organizations have said that the other 50%, who were charged, were mainly charged with throwing rocks, and that even most of that was made up.

For all the pro israel who came to my posts of Palestinian children celebrating their freedom, calling them terrorists and criminals. Israel is an occupation state, they don't need a reason to arrest you as long as you're Palestinian.

i dont really get how people are confused about mario "not recognizing" mr L bc like. we the viewer know whats up from seeing that Nat can full on rewire loyalties, but the heroes have just seen that this team has a shapeshifter and an illusionist, recruiting some asshole that looks kinda like their friend/brother is right up the same alley imo

YEAH. cos i mean, lowest bar, easiest, most doylist answer: this is a game for kids and families. the level it's speaking to is the type of suspension of disbelief where a LOT can happen. this is the type of narrative where groucho glasses make someone unrecognizable. if they say nobody knows who mr. l is then nobody knows who he is. simple as.

I LIKE YOUR ANGLE TOO THOUGH cos its one of those angles that gives a tangible/interesting answer to the question without going "WHY DIDNT THEY RECOGNIZE HIM THATS STUPID". they didnt recognize him because you cant go on a rescue mission to get luigi back

i have my own thoughts on the answer, of course, which is also along the lines of "yeah team bleck is literally full of magicians, illusionists and shapeshifters, it wouldn't be hard to disguise mr. l's identity". i sketched a little comic about it since this is on my mind now

tl:dr; it's been my headcanon for a long time that mr. l's mask itself is what's doing the "heavy lifting"- it's got some sort of magic that wouldn't change his appearance at all, but make it so that people wouldn't recognize him. it would also be why the opposite fact isn't true, too, of "why don't the bleck minions recognize mr. l when he's back to being luigi?" and it would also serve a tertiary purpose of making his eye colour appear silver instead of red so, yknow, on the off-chance the heroes did figure out mr. l is luigi, they wouldn't see the one trait that gives away that people have been brainwashed by nastasia. if they ever figured it out, maybe they'd think luigi switched sides on purpose and would feel angry or betrayed?

that's all in the realm of headcanon though haha- the ramblings of someone who has been thinking about this game for wayyyyy too long

I think Orym's position here is such a great one to depict, because the reality of any form of political organizing you will find someone who will not budge. This is fundamentally neutral, though someone like this can certainly have a position you find repugnant. It doesn't matter. This is the reality of dealing with that person. If someone will under no circumstances change their position - especially if it's informed by personal experience - that doesn't mean they are a good or bad person or their position is justified or not, but it does mean that to get them on your side, either you will have to find a way to appeal to them, not the other way around, or you will have to move forward without their support.

When encountering someone like this, you can bang your head against the brick wall and tell them about the superiority of your position for as long as you want, but unless you dip into threats and coercion or worse, you really cannot make them do anything they don't want to, no matter how eloquently you speak. There's considerable power in being that person.

(For what it's worth, I think he's perhaps the truest foil to Ludinus in this respect; I believe Ludinus's beliefs to be just as deeply ingrained and immutable. The key difference is that Orym is not in any way responsible for the death of Ludinus's family, or like, Molaesmyr, so when they move into the moral part of the argument instead of simply the blunt reality of unmoving objects, he does have a significant advantage.)

The GBG project is definitely the funniest thing Kuusuke has done.

It's incredibly cartoonishly evil.

"Familiarizing them with this technology will reduce both their fear and resistance", "gain blind trust", "encourage them to stop thinking", "the target(Saiki Kusuo)" - it's so over the top.

But aside from that, another factor for it being really funny is how he Forgot the bag with the data.

Kuusuke took a device to set up a fake phone conversation, parts to modify the shooting contest gun with, but not it.

Kuusuke deliberately came back to live with his grandparents for this project. And before that, he stated that he'll return once he thinks he can win. The GBG project was a well-prepared attempt to win. And he just didn't bring the plans for it.
