Not everyone dies in a war, so ehy do you care people die in wars? Why you assuming someone will die in war just cause they're going? Just don't think about it.

Yeah. Obviously not everyone is gonna get hurt. The numbers are bad enough to take note of tho.

The thing is because I care Im paying attention to things you don't because you don't care. Plus I grew up around all women and constantly hear about how things actually go in a lot of situations. And the older person is never the person losing.

The analogy doesnt work, as they are different Not everyone in a war chooses to go to war. If they chose to go, then you can still care. But its not your choice. Like when someone else chooses to date someone. As long as its legal, who cares? Thats my point Woild you rather them be alone and miserable because you dont like who theyre dating (especially due only to age) Because that doesnt sound like you care to me

And are the numbers really bad. As bsp said, sometimes, the older one gets taken advantage of But even couples of similar ages can take advantage of each other. And that happens all the time But were not trying to stop them from getting together

And I pay attention. But I also understand that people can like/love who they want Youre probably paying too much attention to the wrong things, so you cant see everything else And if you think the older person is never the person losing, you cant be paying that much attention

Lost_All_Senses posted...

Cause we care about people other than ourselves and we have younger people in our families we don't wanna see get taken advantage of?

And? The point is just because theyre young doesnt mean they will get taken advantage of. Thats just assuming they will So, again, I dont understand why people care who someone dates or has sex with as long as its legal

Tbh, I dont know why other people care who someone dates as long as its legal

I have seen the occasional poll where the responses were not mutually exclusive and more than one could have applied.

Does your home have a front door?
Yes, to keep people from getting in.
Yes, to keep my pets from getting out.
No, only a back door.
No, I use the window to enter and exit.

The front door can do both things. The back door can also do those things. You could choose to use the window to enter and exit regardless of having doors.

While the polls questions can be a little weird sometimes with answers, they usually arent like that. Most have an answer that fits (or mostly fits) with someone Even that weird poll you have above has an answe that fits most of the time

On APotD a topic is made to discuss a specific poll and all discussion is held within that topic. The subject of this topic is not a specific poll and is a general issue with all polls.

Yeah I was asking because I noticed you complaining in one of the recent topics

Only pick one. We don't get multiple choices in the poll of the day.

While we dont get multiple choices (yet), but they also dont ask questions like that

This. Continue to do exactly what you're already doing, but as a bear or other suitably comedic animal.

I could do this for a while, though would need to change back during backstory parts Though, turning into an animal is something I kind of want to do

Depends how good the hunter is. It might be difficult for the hunter to shoot you with 50 hawks flying at them, but theyd only need to hit you once and youre fucked. Id take my chances against the hawks

Basically the internet can fire pretty much immediately. And if he hits you in a good spot, youre done If not, though, the hawks and rats would take care of him Assuming they go for him pretty quickly Though if he sucks, not only would it be beneficial to have the hawks, but detrimental to have him on your team (other than cannon fodder)

It seems the the main problem is a choice between the hawks and hunter The rats seem to be a shoe-in. But the choice between the hawks and Hunter seem to be an issue

That might help Or make things worse But Id still say to try that

wolfy42 posted...

I mean, there are a few cool choices, but you could always kinda base yourself of Sir Smoofy of Awesometon (unforgotten realms).

Bard works as a base for that, and he liked to run around with nun-chucks even though he had no fighter levels. Toss in either sorcerer levels in that case (playing it more straight), or go with a dex based fighter build and actually use nun-chucks.

Fighters do not have to be strength based and there is no stat requirement in 5e. Many weapons are based on dex, use it to hit and damage.

If you have a low dex as well (and it doesn't have to be THAT high, fighters get bonus stats more often, so you could get dex or str even up over time if needed...just don't start with anything lower than 10 ifyou can help it).

Bard/sorc is actually a pretty powerful combination, but not really that thematic if your role playing a bard that is pretending to be a wizard. It would be more fun if you only had a few bard spells all together but used inventive ways to make it seem like you are a wizard, while actually being a totally different class.

IF you are going for that, and a humor factor as well, I would stick with classes that give you more room for roleplaying. Fighter/Barbarian/Ranger/Monk or especially rogue.

If you have the dex for it, rogue or fighter, combined with bard could really be a fun (and inventive) way to pretend to be a wizard. Rogue and fighter both have sub-classes that actually DO get wizard spells as well, so you could also roleplay into eventually gaining real spells if you wanted.

Rogue has a movement speed boost in combat, which you could "cast a spell" to get for instance. Perhaps you could also use a spell mid-combat to (cause extra wounds) to explain the sneak attack damage.

Anyway tons of options, I love making fun characters like that. I played a pacifist barbarian once that worked out really well.

Rogue was definitely one of the ones I thought about And Ranger a little, as well Im too weak for Barbarian, and didnt think much about Monk. Though, they did have a few cool moves I saw Im also trying to based it around my characters backstory, as well Haha. The only one I didnt want was Wizard since in the end, hes going to still pretend to be a Wizard So, Ill probably take a look and see what they all offer to see which ones work well

Zareth posted...

The thing about Bard is you're basically already multiclassing

While this is true, having more skills or abilities locked on other classes is nice to have

So, you made this be of the APotD board topic?

NoxObscuras posted...

But why is it so important that you need to discuss on date #1? You're trying to cover every single thing on your very first date? You're not going to be able to figure out if you want to spend your whole life with this person after meeting them for an hour. So why not save some of that for dates 2 or 3?

Well eventually get to everything But Ill like to know Im not wasting my time with someone who wants very different things I dont
Want marriage or children And Im only in for a monogamous relationship. And Im a top So, certain like those are deal-breakers If they want marriage or children, or open/poly relationships, or are also a top who doesnt bottom, we wont work together Why waste time going on multiple dates when we could just find out sooner that we arent compatible

PlantBased posted...

Yes. In what instance is it not?

I probably wouldnt consider it heavy talk unless its like a talk between two people about having kids with each other

CanuckCowboy posted...

This topic is... I had a lady bring it up first date once when I was like 33 and she was 38 and it was also the last date.

That is obviously not a first date topic for obvious reasons.

For you, its not. For me, it is Im not in the habit of wasting time Plus, I dont want to fall for them, and have to dump them because we want very different lifestyles

t5yvxc posted...

Because I don't even know you yet, and frankly it should be concerning you dont even know me. It's our first date, slow the fuck down. Way too soon to be asking about having my children and getting married.

But what if they arent asking about having your children? What if they just ask about you having children in the future? Like asking about life goals

Conflict posted...

First dates are for getting a feel of the other person, you're nowhere near that point where you're mapping out the rest of your life with them

I dont think just asking is mapping out the rest of your life Its just making sure you are even looking for the same type of relationship on the first place

Conflict posted...

As for "I don't want to waste my time", how do you define "wasted time"?

Cause to me, seeing if you'd even be a good match before asking the hard-hitting questions about your future with the person doesn't seem like a waste of time to me.

It depends If I dont ask the hard hitting question, what do I ask? The hard-hitting questions are what tell me if were compatible Talking about hobbies or pop-culture doesnt really tell me anything about if were compatible Sure, it great to know those things And well talk about them, too But I also dont want to go on multiple dates only to find out they want something completely different That feels like wasted time to me I could have been looking for someone more compatible

Zareth posted...

5e? Subclasses kind of make multi-classing obsolete in my opinion...

It does give more choices, though Which can be nice

hungrymike posted...

Quick question, what are the different roles druids and rogues fulfill?

I have to look up more about druids for their roles. But I do know not deals with nature quite a bit Rogue are usually sneakier. Though, since Im a little squishy, long range weapons would be good And we usually have archer rogues. But Ranger also has long range, I think

supergamer19 posted...

Bards are charisma based, right? I'd probably multiclass into something that uses charisma as well, like a paladin sorcerer, or warlock.

Strength is to low for paladin I was thinking Sorcerer or Warlock, though Wasnt sure, though Ill probably have to do some more research

Lokarin posted...

Has there ever been an RPG with, like, modern classes?

Like you can play as an Accountant/Cop

People make all kinds of home brews So, you could easily do that Technically, ours is in the modern world Or the future, I guess

I did think of cleric a little But we also have a robot cleric Plus, I already have cute wounds

If you dont remember, in my campaign, Im a Bard pretending to be a wizard I leveled enough to where I can multi-class But Im not sure what I wanted to multi-class into I cant do Barbarian or Paladin due to low strength. And I dont want to do wizard since its better if Im not a wizard. I was think Druid or Rogue But what do you guy think?

I think it great on the first date. Like I4NRulez said, its about how you ask it. If you say something like, Do you see kids as something youd like in future? That seems fine. Its not pointing to you as the father. But their own future plan It makes no sense to go on a few dates before asking For some people, its a deal breaker. So, get it out of the way fast

So, hes doing it on purpose it seems Maybe he has some weird reason for doing I have absolutely no idea what that could even be, though Well, I guess there are some very specific things I can think of But chances are its not those

Some people dont like it because it feels like everything is moving too fast Though, its not a bad idea If I dont want kids, but my potential partner does, it would be good to talk about it on the first date Less time wasted

KogaSteelfang posted...

Apparently bringing them home with him, just to leave laying around. Yeah.

He's disgusting anyway, but this takes it to a whole new level.

Yeah Its really weird Because he has to transport it all the way back home first to leave them there Its such a weird thing to do

So, instead of just throwing them away, hes just leaving them over the house? And as far as anyone knows, there is no reason?

Does no popcorn chicken mean no Famous Bowls?

According to a worker at KFC, they said they havent heard anything about the bowls being discontinued. Technically, the popcorn chicken was suppose to be removed to make room for chicken nuggets. But that popcorn chicken would still be needed for the bowls So, they will still have popcorn chicken, but only in the bowls

That said, they arent 100% sure Though, they did say that if they got rid of the bowls, theyd consider quitting

* Because they don't have any 'Fluid' that's shoots outta them (unless you count Breast Milk as Sexual) like Sperm...while there is a thing as Female ejectulation, it's usually mixed with urine (hope this don't get me modded) so that's more of a 'Water Sports' type thing
* Women has a harder time reaching Orgasm than Men
So I dunno, maybe some kinda B00bie Games/Stunts might come (no pun intended) into play

That just means they have different games, though Not that its subjective Because sex stuff is subjective for both male and female And unlike sports, where you can train to get better, certain things for both parties just sort of happen. Like with the gushing or shooting of make fluids Though, both can train for certain things, like to last longer, or do it better But even how good it is is subjective So, Idk

Generally speaking, though, digital versions will remain available for purchase long, long after physical versions have been pulled from store shelves for not being popular enough. There's always the possibility of hunting down a physical copy somehow, whether getting lucky with an in-store used sale or by finding a seller online, but that's going to require effort, luck, and probably some extra money (especially as more time passes). If the game's available digitally, it's going to be available for exactly the same price (or less), for exactly the same amount of effort, and with zero luck involved for as long as the storefront survives, unless the publisher makes a decision to pull it (which happens and is bad, but it's pretty uncommon), and that's generally much longer than physical games remain on shelves.

Maybe its the games I buy, but I never have trouble finding them online Someone is almost always selling the ones Im looking for. They may be expensive, but theyre available And it usually doesnt take that much effort of luck on my part, normally But again, it could just be the type of games I look for

As for the storefront, thats not always true For example, Nintendo seems to shut down their stores. I think its only been the Wii store, and now the 3DS store But the systems before didnt have them. For Sony, the store update and remove stuff sometimes. Some games I was able to get for PS3 werent available digitally for PS4. And its will probably be the same with each system going forward Thats a guess, though for now Dont know about Mrcrosoft, though Even with Steam, they remove games often enough Its not a large percentage since they have an obscene amount of games there. But games do get removed frequently, I believe They have people that make topics and stuff on this site and others about it

adjl posted...

Physical distribution isn't cheap. It's not at all uncommon for a publisher to do a digital-only release if they expect that a physical release will cost more than they stand to make from the game, which can make for regional differences when localization comes into play (or even just simple population density). It'd be nice if the savings publishers enjoy from digital distribution ever got passed on to the consumers, but that's just not how corporations like to operate, so here we are.

It's worth noting that "X sold well enough that they could have done a physical release" is often an assessment that can only be made retrospectively. The physical releases of Stardew Valley and Hades, for example, only happened after the games had already been successful and it was well-established that there was enough demand to make the release worthwhile. When games are initially being released, that's quite a gamble to take, especially for indie studios that often don't have the capital lying around to be able to build up an inventory of physical copies.

Tbh, the savings were never going to go to us Thatbwould defeat the purpose of making it digital They want to make more money. So, that was always the plan That said, even popularity doesnt always help I think Phoenix Wright was the top selling games in the eShop for like a month. Part of that was because it was ONLY available there But even then, it sold a lot Yet, even then, 6 was still digital only

Nope I feel it would be weird to do that Especially since flaccid doesnt really mean much

Krazy_Kirby posted...

just download any digital game, and then you can always have them

I dont have enough memory

Dikitain posted...

This, if anything, digital has made games more available then they ever where.

Not saying I don't lust for the days that physical wasn't a dying medium, but I also am glad I don't have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a game anymore because it wasn't popular.

I feel physical makes things more available since you can always have it. Even after the shop closes, I can still buy physical copies of stuff. I wont have to make sure it downloaded to my system or anything

adjl posted...

That's also without considering how many games simply wouldn't exist if not for digital distribution. Yes, it sucks that there are hundreds of games that will simply disappear from the market when the eShop shuts down next month, but the fact of the matter is that those games would never have made it onto store shelves in the first place if releasing physically were their only option. I would rather see those games be sold for a few years than not at all.

What really sucks if when they release a game digital only that would have sold had they released a physical version Like the Phoenix Wright games 5 & 6 were digital only Some are actually physically released in other places, as well

For real, I think the only people wanting a Switch 2 are the total diehard Nintendo fans. Which is the one demographic Nintendo doesn't listen to, because they'll buy their products no matter what.

In my experience, the Nintendo fans DONT want a switch 2 Since I (we) know I would buy it, and dont really see any need to improve anything currently, I know my close friends who are Nintendo fans dont want a switch 2 right now The group that does want it are the people that want to play powerful games on a switch But Nintendo fans are usually content with Nintendo and Indie products In my experience, at least

iPhone 13 Pro Max Though, the only reason I went to this one was because I was getting an Apple Watch for Christmas. And when my mom called to order it, my other phone was too old

I got my switch on base. We werent doing much at work. And everyone was leaving early, anyway So, I let my boss know I was going out to get it I was like 3 in line. Other co-workers were also there

My most common screw up isnt even at a fast food restaurant Its a Chinese food restaurant I usually ordered Steam white rice with my food. And more than half the time, I got fried rice. It hasnt happened recently, but it use to happen all the time

ParanoidObsessive posted...

Only if it's a literal pack-in game. A lot of bundles these days just come with digital codes to download a game, and I'd rather have the physical copy.

I agree I got the special DS with A Link Between Worlds And I was deeply saddened that it came with a digital code

Which makes sense The switch isnt for everyone And one of the main features is the portability So, if that isnt for you, then that takes away a big part of it Same with exclusive games. If you dont like the exclusives, that also takes away many reasons to get it Sometimes, certain systems just arent for certain people

wolfy42 posted...

I'm curious, can people list 10 switch exclusive games (I'll allow games out for the Wii U as well, even though I have one) that they feel are worth getting a switch for, and if so, what is the top 10 on their list?

I have almost bought a switch a few times, and did buy a switch when it came out (but returned it after I finished the new super mario game in a weekend and had nothing else coming out anytime soon I wanted to play).

A large part of that time they were really hard to get, but I could probably round one up now (especially if I was willing to get a used one). Still don't really see many games that I would want to play that I don't own on the Wii U already (Zelda/Xeno).

Almost got it when they made a new Marvel Ultimate alliance for it, but that was literally it for games for me even at that point. I'm not into pokemon which kills that, and I have enough games like Animal house or whatever it's called that it isn't really a draw for me either (That I don't even play even though I own them).

I know they came out with another Xeno, but I have not played the first one yet (think I own the second on Wii U as well...if there was one on Wii and one on Wii U I own 2 of em).

So yeah, still don't really see getting a switch as worth it sadly.

For Switch exclusives, it mostly depends on what games you like I have quite a few that I had fun with There are also some games (like TWEWY) with arent exclusive to switch. But much easier to acquire and play on it And some other games arent exclusive, but I play them on switch because I have an easier time on switch, and can also play on the go Which mainly means at work In the end, it wont be worth it to everyone, as everyone values things differently Switch is probably my favorite and most used consoles for games currently, followed by PS5, and PC last Dont have the newest XBox, though

Lokarin posted...

i wish the milkman would deliver my milk... in the morning

I saw a video about this once

I mean, they still do if you get the special consoles. Its just not then born for all of the to have them, anymore I also remember when PlayStation use to give out demo discs with the consoles Funny thing is those demo disc were pretty good. I remember people playing just that demo disc for like over a year sometimes without buying other games Maybe thats why they stopped Selling the system with a game could be a bad move for all of them. Which is probably why they only really do it sometimes these days Maybe

What would even be the gimmick of Switch 2 be, I wonder

Im a big fan of reincarnation, tbh

If I was going to get one of these, Id probably go to HelloFresh since I have some codes for it, and it seems like a good one. I was going to try Blue Apron a long time ago. But at the time, they didnt deliver to my area But as of right now, Ive been using Factor (Factor75 meals) Those are pretty good, but can get expensive I might try HelloFresh after I move, though

God, Jesus, and all the angels are aliens Thats seems to be the logical conclusion based on the Bible

the tube sites are almost entirely OF/paysite spam now.

I havent seen those sites. I just use the regular ones. And theyre free. Reddit has some good pics, and some vids. But the problem is not much, and not much variety compared to even the free porn sites. On Reddit, half the people show just enough to get someone interested. And if you check their page, its has links to their OF. And its usually just a couple of the same pictures on multiple different subreddits to get people to see their pics. And they have no shame. Straight guys will even post to gay subreddits to get people even though they wont have gay sex vids on their pages Some posters will even just link ways to send them money And most vids on there are pretty short. Im not saying it cant have good stuff But compared to the common porn sites, its nowhere near being better than them I dont even see many gay sex vids Reddit could be better, especially since their so much other shit that they probably wouldnt get hit with needed a porn license But they would need more variety, and a better way to filter and search for it And even then, its iffy

Language should never evolve because people are idiots and use words incorrectly.

The problem is no matter what, it always will evolve. For many reasons If we went to the far future, chances are we wouldnt be able to understand anyone I think the far past was also hard to understand for the average human, IIRC But language cant stop evolving unless we stay stagnant in everything else Sometimes, new words are needed when something new is created. Or words being put together to describe something Whether we want language to or not, its always going to keep going
