[UP #9] NO GAMES
Переглядів 704 місяці тому
Don't take culinary advice from someone who drinks their own piss, and don't take referee advice from someone who runs no games. Note, "nogames" as an insult is not a tool for converting people into "yesgames" on either the player or referee side. Nogames players will just play one or two games to tick off their gamer card, and then never show up again. This is annoying for everyone involved, a...

The ending was great! 😃👍
14:30 >reads "what" as "which" several times >uhh it is a typo, the book is wrong and I am right! A little character insight lel
I don’t think anyone has actually read any of their books. They just skim them and pretend like they did 13:08
(Using hyperbole)
I think the bad math literacy you’re talking about extends to just normal literacy
I have no idea why the algorithm recommended a video to me from 1 hour ago with 5 views from somebody I've never seen on UA-cam before, but I'm happy to be here. The rice cooker song always makes me happy too.
Welcome to the underground
UA-cam has a newbie algorithm now, so it's way more likely to show small channels to people. This is hella dumb for me, since I mostly just upload random thoughts I have for like a hundred people involved in old school Dungeons & Dragons online stuff, but it seems to just show my videos to completely random people. Oh well! Glad you could enjoy it.
@@particularist Oh that's kind of cool. I love hearing about people's niche interests
You could try stapling vertical lines of parachute cord about 6" apart on your bigger windows. It might help.
"Charm gays as another option, very powerful." Not in July.
Man blows own horn for 27 minutes lol The bit about MMO social dynamics and how navigating those is a skill that transfers over to D&D is interesting. I bet a lot of people in this generation played MMOs before D&D.
Interesting thoughts
Well I think that the comparison with deeprock galactic falls a bit on its face: sure you dont pick up items that add complexity. But every class has items that are synergistic towards efficient movement and mineral collection. If every teammate know what they are doing (e.g how to place platforms, efficient drilling etc.), the levels just CLICK. They are like large puzzles. As a game its about different THINGS than vermintide imo. Also: a large part of vermindite is just "numbers up" as well. The hunt for the best gear and the best loadouts can take a looong while. Additional thought: There are some enemies that do similar things (area denial, displacement) to the specials in vermintide, but they are not as emphasized in the gameplay. To say that they do not exist, would be incorrect. Very interesting video overall, thanks for posting!
13:15 You fool! That's not a d100! That's a reference table for use after 3 (somewhat tedious) steps: 1. The side who has lost fewer troops deduct their number of lost troops from the enemy's number of lost troops, and MULTIPLIES that sum by the result of a d6. 2. The difference in number of surviving troops goes towards the tally of the side with more troops left. 3. Each surviving figure is multiplied times its "Morale Rating" (sound familiar? lol). All three sums are added together, and the difference between the two is referenced on the table below.
Those Chainmail dudes didn't have that sweet d100 tech yet.

Yeah, that pretty much describes my knee-jerk reaction to other gamers
Knee-jerk? I came to this attitude from years of association with said "people".
As a homosexual I love restaurant their chicken parmesan is delicious
It’s intresting how empircism shows BECMI was most popular in Europe yet we encounter few ”BECMI Players” It points to either BECMI players not returning to those games / them not admitting they used to play those games.
Who knows. Maybe they "shipped" all those books and they got dumped in a pit somewhere. Maybe the sales data itself is false. Could be a lot of explanations.
