“This is the problem with you Amerikkkan imperialists, you only care about your own people and don’t give a shit about anyone outside your country”

~(a paraphrase of) an actual reply I got one time when I shared this sentiment

You’re the one who said he should be beating them up lol

What makes you think the Wayne Foundation doesn’t provide mental health support and rehabilitative services? If you think the Joker just needs therapy, then you severely misunderstand the basic premise of the franchise

Unless you’re arguing there’s a literal magical curse on the city of Gotham, in which case no amount of face-punching thugs is going to help either, and DC’s writing is proving as consistent as ever.

There literally is lmfao

Tarzan ass tax policy lmao

“Flat tax good, all pay same share”

(Flat tax not good, hurt poor more)

Which Gotham judges, cops, and politicians should he be beating up?

I don’t understand what people don’t get about Batman villains being legitimately insane. You can’t just give Two-Face affordable housing and access to a food bank and expect him to become a model citizen

It’s a controversial opinion because it’s ill-informed. Bruce Wayne does give the majority of his money to charity. Even Superman, the goodest person on earth, looks up to him. But no amount of funding food banks or building low-income housing is going to uncurse the cursed land that Gotham is built on

Sure. The line is somewhere between “I cast minor illusion to make an image of a cabinet, and hide inside of it” and “I cast Shape Water to freeze that guy’s blood.” In the former case, the spell never says I can’t hide inside the illusory object. Clever, useful, not game-breaking. In the latter case, the spell says a creature can’t be inside the water, but it never says the water can’t be inside the creature! Bad, shame, you lose all your spell slots until the next long rest

I mean it’s tongue-in-cheek, and it’s never really been a problem at my table. Just a fun way to remind casters not to argue about specific wording interpretations in spells, and take them as their most obvious meaning

Now, if a caster comes up with something clever, they can make an Intelligence (Persuasion) check to see if Mystra will allow something. Just don’t tell Mystra how her own body works

Finding loopholes is one thing, focusing on finding them so that you can “erm actually” a god is another. A wizard is bound to wonder if lungs count as an open container. A wizard who asserts that they are and doesn’t take no for an answer is gonna get his spell slots sapped for a bit

In my campaigns, Mystra does not take kindly to pedants or loophole researchers. A spell does what Mystra allows it to do, and you cast what Mystra allows you to cast

Mfs gotta remember that magic is a person, and that person can get annoyed

Gosh it’s almost like I was joking by coming to a correct conclusion through faulty reasoning

I mean I could have just been a complete dweeb and explain that the outcome of the second roll is unaffected by the outcome of the first, and you are just as likely to roll two ones in a row as you are to roll any two numbers, but then I’d have to find a locker to shove myself in

The math checks out, but the problem is the danger of rolling a nat 20 on your practice roll. The odds of getting two nat 20s in a row are almost as low as the odds of getting two nat 1s, so you may be screwing yourself out of a crit

🎶These dice are spinning around me

🎶The whole table’s spinning without me

🎶Every sesh sends future to past

🎶Every roll leaves me one less to my last

Imagine if he didn’t always show the other zonk. “So you picked door number 1. Let’s see what’s behind door number 2!”

Door 2 reveals a brand new car

“… So, do you wanna switch to door 3?”

I’m well aware. Personally, I like to think of it from the opposite perspective; what message might we find that someone could have written 10,000 years ago that would convince us not to mess with something? The only proposals that work are ones that involve translating the dangers of radioactivity to new languages. Either that, or bury it deep in a place that isn’t expected to be particularly habitable for a few thousand years. Every physical marker is just begging for an archaeologist to discover why exactly they were constructed

I’m curious what testing and what people. Unless it’s an as-yet uncontacted tribe in the Amazon rainforest, I’m not convinced that they successfully made a universally understood sign of danger.

And even if the message gets across, I will reiterate: when archaeologists understand that a message says “entering here will kill you,” it only makes them want to enter more. Future post-post-apocalypse archaeologists will treat our nuclear waste disposal sites with as much care as a 19th century British scholar would have treated the pyramids. We’re a curious bunch. Best we can hope for is that we keep making Geiger counters

It’s not so much that it’s visible in air, it’s just that your eyes have water in them

So yeah, if you can see Cherenkov radiation outside of a pool of water, then that means the only thing attenuating the radiation is your eyeballs
