- Comment on Anon wants more pizza 2 days ago:
As an above average American, I can. I have eaten an entire pizza and then gone back for seconds. You’re supposed to not feel hungry after you eat, but I lack that crucial sense.
I don’t do that anymore, but that’s only because I remind myself that it’s not normal to finish an entire large pizza in one sitting and I’m weird if I do it

Hey quick question what the fuck
- Comment on rabioli 1 week ago:
Yes, but also no. In a very literal sense, human beings are animals, and our modification of the world is technically the same kind of thing as, like, a bird building a nest. But I think there is some utility in distinguishing between human activities and non-human activities. We are uniquely capable of altering the environment in ways that no other creature can.

If you’re American this is relatively light, if you’re a Brit this is anywhere from morbidly obese to record setting
- Comment on Could an American please prove me wrong? 3 weeks ago:
No kidding, I’m tired of people acting like I’m an idiot because I don’t have the European countries and their positions on the world map memorized. It’s a continent I’m unlikely to ever visit, why would I need to know these things?
“Europeans know these things about America, why don’t you learn them about Europe?”
I never asked y’all to learn about my country. I’m not gonna judge you if you can’t pinpoint Sedgwick County, KS on a map. I live here, I have plenty of reason to know it. Someone living in Avignon doesn’t

I have wondered about using it post… Other things. Do healing spells reduce your refractory period? Could someone get Ed Greenwood to weigh in on this?

It’s explicitly within the capabilities of a Lesser Restoration, but also I would not allow a player to cast that spell on another player if that other player didn’t want it

I have had players make persuasion checks against me before when they want to do something that’s explicitly outside the rules but I think it would be cool. Depending on how cool I think it would be, the DC can be anywhere from 10 to 20, and the player doesn’t have proficiency

You’re assuming there are enough >2nd level casters around to cast Lesser Restoration (or whatever the equivalent is in your campaign). As far as I’m concerned, magic should be extraordinarily rare. Does every preacher get cleric powers? Does everyone with draconic ancestry get sorcerer powers? Can anyone with an instrument kill a commoner with an insult?
In my campaigns, very few NPCs are even 1st level in a class. Maybe one in every 20 villages has a 1st level cleric in their church. It takes a 130 IQ to even start learning to be a wizard. Basically everyone can trace some line back to a dragon in their family tree, but maybe 0.001% ever get strong enough powers to even cast a Light cantrip

I cast heal on my muscles to make them stronger than they were before, since I guess that’s how it works now?
- Comment on Anon casts a healing spell 4 weeks ago:
What an awful DM. I can’t find any TTRPGs that have a “heal wounds” spell, and I definitely can’t find any that have a player roll a d20 to see how effective their healing is. I’d be pissed if my character had some medical condition as part of their story, and another player just rolled a nat 20 to get rid of it

Role playing game just means it’s a game where you play a role, right?
- Comment on Anon wants American companies to make a good RPG 1 month ago:
inb4 someone assumes First Person Shooter is defined specifically as a first person game where you can shoot
The name of the genre is the same as the definition, right?

- Comment on Anon is an anthropologist 2 months ago:
That’s the biggest reason why ~12,000 years ago was when modern humans really started taking off the world around. The entire planet’s climate changed in a way that made agriculture possible, and humans are really damn good at figuring out agriculture when we’re able to

And exploitation, when talking about living things, implies unfairness and nonconsent
You realize the word becomes entirely useless if we use your definition, yeah? Virtually every interaction between living things becomes exploitation under your silly definition. It’s not very useful. I’ll stick with the more widely used definition, wherein it would be exploitation for Nosferatu to suck my blood, but not Mavis Dracula or her dad

en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/exploit
Scroll down to verbs. When you’re talking about someone else, there’s an implication of unfairness. This is why vegans don’t eat animals or use animal products. If the animals could consent, there would be nothing wrong with it.
- Comment on Anon wants to be a vampire 2 months ago:
The way that people use the word “exploit” when talking about living things is different from the way we use it when talking about nonliving things. It implies a lack of consent from the one being exploited.
- Comment on Anon wants to be a vampire 2 months ago:
And if I’m consenting, then it isn’t exploitation when a hot vampire gives me the biggest fucking hickey
- Comment on Anon wants to be a vampire 2 months ago:
Fun fact, human blood can be vegan, as long as the human is consenting
