This place really loves slop from random garbage sources, we’ll share anything with a URL.

Read your quote and my comment again, genius.

Yeah okay, so it sounds like he’s the kind of guy who’ll build a framework, or most of it, and won’t ever really become capable of hosting a lot of videos at a watchable quality.

Technically he’ll probably have built something basically functional the community could rally behind and get going. But that won’t happen, because the people who care about the Fediverse are few, insufficiently resourceful, and most importantly don’t care about shorts.

Have them roll a perception check just prior to the ritual.

Surprise, they’re the villains and a party of heroes shows up to fight them. If they don’t spot the ambushing party of heroes, they’ll be hit by some serious AoE spell and an assassination attempt on one of them a turn or so later.

If they win the fight and successfully summon the elder god, they have to start rolling wisdom saves or something to resist mind control, and the ones that fail and have to roll every 1-3 turns or something to try to get control again. All the while they become surrounded by not just the massive elder god but a swarm of enemies that won’t hesitate to attack any party member that disobeys the elder god’s orders. It’ll be up to the other players whether to enter combat to try to defend their friend against the hopelessly large assault.

But what does the elder god tell them to do? Go backwards and ravage every single place the players have visited during the campaign, and maybe some random villages along the way if you need filler.

Maybe you start impromptu adding a d4 or d6 psychic damage to their attack rolls as an unconventional way to empower them. Maybe play favorites, maybe add 2d6 to the weakest member’s main attack to boost them and their ego.

If it goes far and long enough maybe you start having them war against empire, do something unconventional and treat legions as single units with one health pool and doing an arrow barrage or a ‘charge’ that does some damage and then becomes more of a sustained melee that essentially becomes a DoT effect as far as the combat system is concerned. Like an insect swarm.

Should they successfully destroy the army and seize the seat of power, find some messed up way to do a “game over”, or come here and ask again. These players want to see the game go in dramatic and strange directions.

I don’t play DnD so I guess a lot of this might not be doable/practical.

Also after reading some other responses, particularly the one about how this kind of ritual is usually portrayed as requiring a bit more than a few friends, some magic words and a wish, it may or may not work better if you have a bit of backlash, scarring, and some aberrations respond to the attempt, instead of the elder god. Maybe have them run around a town or two recruiting cultists for a second attempt, something like 15-30 of them. There could also be some drama where the cultists question who is the authority as a few other cultists move to take the lead.

Yeah I don’t get the drama with this one. Unless you’re some disappointed investor.

For me, with no stake in this, it’s fun. A bit weird and bad, but I’ve seen worse stuff. I feel like someone tried to do something interesting with that “Bird that wants to be a Plane” video.

In my mind I pictured the bird as Sora/GPT and the plane as the theorized incredible and perfect general AI behemoth.

Imagining the current AI as dumb, incapable and small. Not really able to understand the plane, only sort of, in it’s little bird way.

1TB is incredibly low, wow.

Idk about all the rest of it, but you might be able to learn to watch your tone. You know, modulate your voice better. Figure out what sounds aggressive and how to catch it, maybe apologize for it if appropriate, then consciously avoid it for a bit.

I think I’ve had a couple friends like you, and while there were a few things to tolerate with them (as I’m sure there were with me as well), the weirdly/slightly aggressive tone they had a bit too often made hanging out with them a little bit worse than it could’ve been.

Still happy to have spent the time I did with them. I’m still hanging out with one of them and he’s still aggressively into some games, TFT now, but he’s chilled out a bit it seems or I just notice it less. It comes back when he gets competitive or drunk.

Yeah, that’s not the thing.

I really don’t like what copyright leaves us with.

It means I open the site, and I can’t read the article because it had some obligatory signup.

Granted, this was on mobile. On desktop it seems I can read it.

I don’t care.

The site doesn’t want readers, I’m gonna go back to reading memes.

Nursing/Kindergarten or something? Isn’t that about that high?

I mean it still works for getting attention, but it’s not exactly respectable and there are some people who really don’t like them.

It’s such an incredibly scuffed build, though. Matt is a madman.

He shoved a ham sandwich and a bunch of other shit in a carbon fiber mold to make a point about arbitrary it is what you put in them (and I think he was running low on chopped carbon tow), then he had to dig out the sandwich later and fix it because that one was too much.

That wasn’t for the Dodge, though. That was for a custom built salt flats speeder. Fucking wild dude.

You think these proportions are hilarious?

I think they’re super fitting. The Miata’s proportions, not the Monsterlada.

You don’t need good politics in Australia.

It is not a Democracy.

Mate, your countrymen agree with the war crimes. Why do you think you can free this man?

Everybody gets together on Runkedagen, it is where the English first observed the rumored circlejerk.

Den Nasjonale Runkedagen

Tidligere kjent som “Allrunk”, navnet ble endret et par år etter TV3 våget å arrangere en aldri så liten “Allrunk på Grensen”, noe svenskene var svært misfornøyd med.

Det gamle navnet og tradisjonene som hørte til er fortsatt gjeldende i deler av Vestlandet og i Trøndelag, men spesielt populært er det i Nordmøre.
