'It's frustrating': Homeless camp wreaking havoc on small business in Portland by dazzlehasselhoff in Portland

[–]l3radrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I ordered a cowl and black cape off amazing the other night after I got mugged seven times walking home from the max line. I’ll buy you a yellow cape and green bodysuit if you want to join me in hunting down criminals in the night to bring order back to goth- sorry Portland

As someone who thinks they've missed quite a lot in their passed albums, they have not missed AT ALL with these singles. Beyond excited for this album

Where men cried by VickerAndFlips in distressingmemes

Same :/

I watched this video as a teen and genuinely think it’s altered the course of my life. It hasn’t ruined my life or anything, but there isn’t a week that goes by where I don’t remember this video and just feel pure aweful dread.

Has anyone else noticed some weird astroturfing and suspicious upvotes on some posts? There are some self published books getting 1.4K upvotes with barely any name recognition for the author, while other books with established and popular authors are getting 1k-1.2k.

[Self-promo] Japanese Fantasy - Twelve Blades in Contempt book cover by JaysonChambers in Fantasy

[–]l3radrocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate to be this guy, it I think it isn’t talked about enough that so many western authors keep writing not just Asian inspired progression fantasy, but straight up Asian themed fantasy. It’s like everyone forgot about all the controversy about Memoirs of a Geisha 😬

Based on a previous post: What is the best opening line you've ever read? by Mic_Tower33 in Fantasy

[–]l3radrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tower, which was not supposed to be there, plunges into the earth in a place just before the black pine forest begins to give way to swamp and then the reeds and wind-gnarled trees of the marsh flats. - Annihilation

Deltora Quest is a great adventure by Monkontheseashore in Fantasy

These books are the reason I was an English major and now work as a writer as my full time job. I owe a lot to Emily Rodda!

Classic, Epic/High Fantasy novels... by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]l3radrocks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not exactly within your criteria, but I’ve been making my way through Memory, Sorrow, Thorn and it made me realise how much I miss classic high fantasy at times.

Are Collie puppies stressful? by TheOtherGloworm in Collie

[–]l3radrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm writing this as my puppy keeps trying to drop her chew toy and get to my birkenstocks, so easily an 8.

With that said, I would call 90% of puppies an 8 in my experience. Raising a pup isn't easy, but an 8 doesn't mean impossible. As long as you have the time and patience to train them and pup up with the first few months, it's a joy.

Specific things I've noticed with collie puppies: - They're very tantrum-y if they don't get their way - They bite like no other breed I've interacted with as puppies. - The energy level is high, but dealing with it is more about giving them stimulation over exercise

YMMV

Gang violence drives surging Portland homicide rate from early 2019 to mid-2021, study finds by FickleInvestigator98 in Portland

Literally a racist dog whistle. Unreal, either a ton of upvoted were bought or this sub actually sucks

Bro this sub is a fucking joke, you practically posted the “Despite Being Only 13% of the Population…” copypasta word for word.

This sub is full of racist morons, get a life

[Humble] Talisman Complete Bundle ($1 Talisman + Adventurer Starter Bundle | BTA Expansions and Talisman Origins + DLC | $10 All Talisman DLC) by TomYoungg in GameDeals

[–]l3radrocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always feel like a shill when I talk about this game, but I have SO many fond memories playing this.

Is the game unbalanced? Yes.

Is the game unfair? Yes.

Is the game entirely based around your luck? Yes.

Is the game the most frustrating thing in the world when you're dominating your friends and are about to win the game but miss 10 important rolls in a row and get your head bashed in by your friend playing a troll who proceeds to win the game? Yes.

And I love it all. Grab a beer, some friends, and be prepared for a wild experience

[Steam] FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE ($49.69/29% off) by Apollospig in GameDeals

[–]l3radrocks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well yeah but this is literally the whole game. Just because they're splitting the original story into three parts doesn't mean that the new trilogy isn't made up of entire games.

If REMAKE was 10-15 hours long than yeah you could make that argument, but it's a full fledged 45-100 hour game.

Weekly Questions Thread by AutoModerator in DnD

[–]l3radrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading through the new Monsters of the Muliverse, I realize I'm a bit behind on the new strategy when it comes to race attributes.

My question: MotM gives us info for monstrous races, but what about the races in the PHB? Are there updated versions of those somewhere? Thanks!

This is sweet! I'm curious how you managed to aling this on foundry though? I can't seem to get the grid size correct

What is the DARKEST fantasy series of all time? by letthedecodebegin in Fantasy

[–]l3radrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can also vouch it isn’t all that great for someone’s mental health. I don’t think it put me in a depression, but it sure kept me in one for longer than normal.

Gear stolen in Portland earlier this month from Brian Jonestown Massacre Recovered by TroyMendo in indieheads

[–]l3radrocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to these people tbh. Portland is still an amazing and gorgeous city. It has the exact same issue every large city in America currently has.

There are issues, but it's super important to remember that the only shit that gets upvoted is fearmongering and anecdotal experiences. You won't hear about how awesome our un-armed street response team is, or how a grassroots movement is likely going to cause a recharter of our city governement, etc.
