If anyone wishes to follow Meghan Follows (Pun Totally Intended), from the Anne of Green Gables Series, I highly encourage you to watch Reign, as she Plays Catherine Medici. Another Dramatic Wonderful Role!

As a GM, how do you run the part of old-school dungeons which feature long corridors?

If you power the players through to the next intersection or door it breaks immersion but, at the same time, playing out every footstep really slows down game play; running the risk of being boring/tedious.

Which path do you follow (pun intended) or do you strike a balance?

I just saw "It Follows" earlier today and (like many of us, I'm sure) I couldn't help but attempt to formulate a plan to escape the creature. What follows (pun intended) is my theoretical method, but I'm sure there must be others. Any takers?

My method:

*1. Get an 18-wheeler with a shipping container; and a driver, if you're not qualified.

*2. Have sex with someone to pass the curse on.

*3. Kidnap that person and keep them in the shipping container.

*4. Let "IT" find that person, inside of the container.

*5. Lock "IT" inside of the container when it strikes.

*6. If possible, weld the container doors shut. Otherwise, just lock them. ("IT" seems to have trouble with light barriers, like windows or locked doors, and the container doors are much stronger.)

*7. Drop the container deep underwater. (Even if "IT" manages to escape, you'll still have a massive head start, and will have enacted Steps 8-11.)

*8. Go to an orgy. (People having sex with multiple partners dramatically extends the list of "IT's" victims ahead of you, especially when they all go their separate ways.)

*8b. If there are no orgies to be found, go to Las Vegas.

*9. Have sex with a (legal) prostitute. (Her next "John" will likely be a tourist, giving "IT" more distance to cover when he travels home. He's also likely to find a prostitute again, further distancing you.)

*10. Move to the other side of the planet. (Just in case.)

I feel like this movie could gain a massive cult following (pun may or may not be intended depending on how you view this ;) ) and I would love to go to a crazy ass Rocky Horror Picture Show type midnight screening where people show up in costume and act along with the movie. Like people could be screaming/crying when the cult does and do the maypole dance and everything. Even try to eat a whole pickled herring in one gulp lol.

Beat the game, beat the Following and I had to sit down for a solid 10 seconds saying "Fuuuuurrrk" to myself. This game made me so mad the way it ended. The gameplay was great, loved the physics, enjoyed dropkicking zombos way more than I should've, the grappling hook made me Spider-man for a hot minute, so yeah the game really has no flaws in the gameplay department. But fuck me did the story eat away at my constitution.

Spoilers:

Hear me out, imagine the following (pun intended) when the Mother offers you the choice of LMAO KABLOOEY or hey dog join me or I'll stab you in the pancreas.

You, naturally, opt for the second option because you've already said no to The Big Bad Boom just days prior, but wait - instead of "FUCK OFF YOU UNDEAD CUNT" maybe just maybe Kyle the Poet Crane could've just said "well hold on there lady, there's a third option, we've got this here doctor guy called Camden working on a cure 24/7 and by golly he's real close, we just need this here blue Kool-aid, same one you drank literally and figuratively, to act as a suppressant in the next few days while we develop a cure. We'll just spray it ever so lightly in the rooms where there are infected people and wait patiently. Rais is dead, all the bad guys are gone, I've practically killed 90000 zombies in the past few days so the threat should subside. Let's just relax and talk it through, just put the mask back on, your tongue is distracting."

And I mean there's dozens of other moments during the entire campaign where it could've/should've gone in a different way. I'm just so mad that it all ended the way it did.

Also, which is the canon ending? I know nothing about DL2.

Thanks for coming to my TEDrant.

Right hello!

In this post i will be outlining the rules for the community pun competition.

The rules are as follows:

Pun is a pretty broad term so we will have a few different ways to enter the allowed jokes are

1. an image of something with a pun caption
2. a dad joke simple text format alternatively image if you think it will add something
3. a witty one liner

these all do have to be related to bisexuality in some way.

to enter mark your post with the pun competition flair

winner gets a personalised flair as long as it is appropriate

entries close on the 25th

most upvoted by then wins

two entries each

now go make some puns

A while back, we raided r/PunRevolution, and we were succesful. However, we made an agreement with them: we'd withdraw our forces, and they'd stop punning for 7 days. However, we also had to make the following puns legal zones for puns:

• r/memes
• r/Jokes
• r/dadjokes
• r/pun
• r/puns

Anyone caught trying to arrest punners in these zones will be held accountable. r/Puninternalaffairs will back us up on this.

There may be more places where these are legal. Avoid these zones, use your judgement, and remember that any repeat offenders will be investigated by the KGB.

This is Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti leytenant u/Nesayas1234, signing off.

I know, I know I made a post before about something I wanted to complain about in Hopeful. Truth is, there's a lot I don't like about the game, and a lot I do. I love the game play, the characters' combat moves were so cool, I love the fighting elements they brought to the game. It's hard not to smile at some parts.

But I also like to complain. So here goes.

Something that annoyed me about Hopeful was the Lovelies' names. The Lovelies in general were weirdly handled in the game. Considering that they're the main enemy gang, they really never developed them more than superficial stuff.

But the names annoyed me. Having them be sex puns gave off a dissonant vibe, considering the nature of what they do. You can't just say that they're a gang focused on finding the girl. They're a gang of rapists. They travel the wasteland and kidnap men to rape them. The first thing they did when they captured Lanks was lock him in the truck with someone who raped him and left Lanks traumatized for the rest of the game. They were focused on finding the girl for one reason: to rape her. Not about saving the world, not about power, they just wanted her in the worst way. A gang devoted to sexual assault and torture. A group of deprived men who dominate the wasteland for their personal desire for skin.

And their names are puns.

Stuff like Issac Cox, Sawyer Snatch, etc. distract and understate the nature of the Lovelies. You can't make a joke about them! It's just wrong to the characters to make a joke about their their sexual desires. They don't look for sex, they steal it. They're not just horny men, they're so deprived and heartless that they will kidnap men to brutally rape them to satisfy that need.

They're a ruthless bunch. They're possibly the cruelest gang in the LISA series. They also have the most character to them. They're all addicted to Joy. Why? Do they even enjoy what they do? Are they all addicted because most of them aren't even attracted to men and just rape to satisfy an urge, and even put themselves through turmoil to get it? They're so undaunted by Joy Mutants, sometimes fighting beside them. Is Joy mandatory for the Lovelies? They are so so SO any questions that you can ask and think about when you see the Lovelies. There's so much more I want to know.

Having their names be goofy puns makes the player not care about asking those questions. It even makes you forget to ask questions. The Lovelies become jokes, and people might not look any deeper i

Over the course of this game, I have been writing up notes commenting on the mechanics and certain choices I made in the game. You can read that here.

You can view the master spreadsheet here.

Edit: The evil subreddit was r/DalekCouncil.

1. She loves to flirt, but fears to go into a relationship because of her abandonment issues. It means basically that Yang deeply fears that her partner would leave her without a word and never comes back.

2. She prefers showers more than baths and showers always cold. However if her sister invites Yang to bath with her together she usually takes a bath and enjoys a nice bubble bath with Ruby together.

3. Someday in the future Yang wishes to settle down and become a mother after she is done with her duty as a huntress. This wish partially steams from her care for Ruby in her younger years and her admiration for a certain super mom.

4. There are just two people who are allowed to touch her hair. The first person is Ruby because she is her sister. The second person is Blake and just under the agreement if Yang can pet her cat ears in return.

5. While her sister calls Crescent Rose her sweetheart, Yang calls Ember Celica her twin daughters in secret.

6. She is incredible smart. She graduated as top student from Signal and is even one of the best students among the first years at Beacon Academy. She usually helps Ruby and Blake with their studies and she and Weiss are study buddies.

7. She knows a damn lot about the Grimm through various books which she bought and studied several times. She did this to be battle ready if a Grimm from the books she studied suddenly appears in front of her and attacks her.

8. The one person from Team JNPR she interacts most with is surprisingly Nora. Both girls are great friends for each other and do lot of things together like shopping or holding eating contests against each other.

9. There was as a time in her life were Yang would wake up her little sister with this following pun everyday: "Ruby, rose from your sleep and wake up." Her sister was not amused over this pun.

10. Her favorite place at Beacon Academy is a small hidden garden which has been seemingly forgotten by everyone. Yang uses this garden as an place for retreat for herself and usually spends some time there. She even takes care of all the flowers in this garden which has been slowing withering away.

11. Just like Ruby she has some amazing engineers talent which can be shown through Ember Celica and her motorbike "Bumblebee". She build Ember Celica by entirely alone by herself and build her motorbike with a bit help from her sister.

12. She gave her sister "the talk" in a serious and grown-up manner. There w

I have no disclosures to announce and all the following puns and double entendres are intended:

I wanted to just share my thoughts on my latest drum heads, although I recognize this may fall on few ears and may only reiterate what has already been said a thousand times, but I was playing tonight and just couldn't help but overflow with exuberance at the new heads I recently threw on my kit.

I am lucky enough to have the joy of playing on a kit I always dreamed of, a DW Exotic Collectors 6 piece in the standard shell sizes (10, 12, 14, 16, 22, 14” DW Collectors Bell Bronze snare), VLT maple shells. They resonate from here to next Tuesday, and that can make head selection both a pain and a joy. They arrived with the standard Evans G1 clear single ply Remo clear single ply batter with the DW trademark “muffle ring” painted on (is there a proprietary name for that design?), clear single ply resos. These aren’t bad heads by any means, but I tend to gravitate toward coated heads and have played Evans G2 coated for about the past 5 years. Feeling like having a new kit necessitated a change in my heads I swapped these out for some Evans UV1 coated heads all the way around on the batters, left the stock resos. These tune up easily and stay in pitch even with Grohl-esqe smashing, and they are absolute contenders for most durable single ply heads ever barring the specialty snare heads. They do, however, seem to lack the tonal warmth I expect to hear from coated batter heads, and there is some ultrasonic sound that I can’t quite put my finger on that seems to make the stick-click (wood tips) off the head in an unfavorable way. Make no doubt, these are great heads, but they absolutely favor higher tensions and really demand a higher tension to really sing. I tried to augment their pitch tolerance by replacing the stock resos with standard Evans G1 clear batter heads but I only got a minor increase in body and tonal depth. I think for pop, pop-punk, and jazz applications they would excel, but in my minor-league world of standard alternative rock and metal, and some occasional really heavy hitting, they never really captivated me. Enter the following:

Remo Emperor Vintage Coated heads. HO-LEE-HELL. These heads are stunning. The have a resonant tone all unto themselves just by tapping the rim of the head while holding it in your hands. You can almost pitch them based on what you know about your shells’ pitches. (On a separate note, I think the DW

Greetings, everyone. I watched episode The Father and I have some difficulties understanding some puns they made when Richard was at the diner. Anyone could explain to me these following puns they made?

"I dont have any real "beef" with my dad"

"while he's gone to make a "hash brown" of his life"

"And all this has left me in a bit of a "pickle"

Many thanks.

Through a myriad of ways, Pun-Pun (and other D&D characters) can gain access to Manipulate Form, which we won't discuss here. We will assume that Pun-Pun has already "ascended," which means pre-buffed up. Everything below is optional, and there is tons more to be added. These are some of the few that I thought were interesting enough to be added and relevant enough for other purposes.

Important Terms:

Manipulate Form: Allows Pun-Pun to have limited omnipotence. The ability is fairly difficult to quantify in the grand scheme of things, but allows Pun-Pun to gain the features of pretty much anything printed in 3.5. >A sarrukh may also grant the target an extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like ability or remove one from it. The change bestowed takes effect immediately and is permanent.

Alter Reality: Pun-Pun can grant himself divine ranks, giving him this ability. The most important of these abilities is the ability to turn any temporary buff into something permanent that cannot be dispelled: >The deity can render a magical or supernatural effect permanent.

Perpetual Damage Machine: Pun-Pun summons,creates, or befriends four or more creatures. Then, after a series of buffs (Share Pain, Glory of the Martyr), he takes some minor damage (falls off a cliff, stabs himself, etc). An infinite loop occurs causing Pun-Pun to take infinite damage. Pun-Pun can then use Delay Death (made permanent with Alter Reality) and Beastland Ferocity to stay conscious. There are a myriad of ways that Pun-Pun can take advantage of taking infinite damage.

How this works is as follows:

• Share Pain >You take half damage from all attacks that deal hit point damage to you, and the subject takes the remainder.

• Glory of the Martyr > In addition, each subject takes only one-half the normal hit point damage from any attack, and you take the remainder.

• I'll allow the trick's creator LordofProcrastination to explain the rest:

• >Let's do a test run. The caster drops a rock on his toe for 8 points of damage. Th

This is my first post and im on mobile so apologies if I get it wrong.

I (22 male) just finished college and went back to my hometown while I figure out what I want to do next. I was planning to share an apartment with my old friends, but my parents wanted me to move in to help them out.

Covid has hid them hard and are struggling to pay their bills, so they wanted me to move in and pay rent. I said ok because I wanted to help them out. It all went well until 3 days after I moved in. My mother came in around 9 PM, saying 'I had enough screen time and need to go to bed'. I thought this was ridiculous, because I'm an adult paying rent, they have no right to demand this. She said 'your living under my roof, I make the rules'. I went along with it for the night, and the next morning I went and took my laptop back from their room. She proceeded to ground me, for 'disobeying her authority'.

I had enough of this, called the people I was going to room with and asked if they still had a spot. They said yes, so I packed up and moved in with them. Now my family is hounding me for 'not supporting my family'.

Me: I don't wanna alarm anyone, but I think someone in this room might be an owl.

Sisters kids: Who? WHO?

Me: gasp OH NO IT'S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!

cue 2 hours of 4 small kids running around the house like nutcases screaming who at each other

Sister: You don't get to tell my kids dad jokes anymore. You're not even a dad Me: I'm a faux pas

At 180+ hours, obviously i love your game. I really do. We as a community know the work you put in, and it shows, you've done great. I know you guys are supporting the game at least until the end of 2016, and even if we don't see any more expansions, I'm excited for the bounties, possible weapons, paint jobs, updates etc. Since the game was released, its gone through some massive changes, changes I'm happy for personally. I for one am not a game designer and have no idea the amount of work that goes into creating and coding a game, so take The Following (pun intended) fan suggestions as just that, a diehard fan suggestion wishlist. First I want to talk about the economy. Having an economy in a post apocalyptic game is always hard. What is currency? Caps, Water, Oil, gas, dollars? You went with dollars which isn't what bothers me. Let me start by saying this. By the time I got to Old Town on my New Game Nightmare Mode (solo btw) I had over 500000 dollars. Granted about twenty game hours was spent scavenging for items, building my stock, selling what I didn't need. Regardless, money is worthless to me. Why even have money if I don't even worry about the price of a weapon as i buy it? There are a hundred ways around this. My suggestion ties in with my second point, gold tier weapons. Before you assume, no I'm not suggesting you should be able to buy them. Granted, with how many police vans I've opened, i almost am at that point, lol. I suggest two things, killing two birds with one stone. For very large sums of money you could have boosters for sale increasing gold weapon drop rates considerably, that last maybe 24 hrs of real time from the time you drink the booster. Now it shouldn't be guaranteed, but it should be worth the very large sum of money I know many people have, meaning yes it costs A LOT, but the chance is MUCH higher to find Gold Tier.. Of course then you'd have to worry about money glitches, dupes, etc. Next, lets talk more about money. Runners need more to spend their cash on. Otherwise everyone builds up huge coffers, for what exactly? How about weapon camos, buyable outfits, upgradable items in safe zones (mini games, art, collectibles, who knows). Also the way shops are in The Following, is how shops should be in the core game. (item of the day, more stock, etc.) Maybe instead of the trader requesting toxic lichen for the sixth day in a row, he wants orange weapons. Could be a gun, blade, hammer, etc, as long as its orange. But then

Hi Stonk, I will be happy to respond to your request below;

>... for our Euro ape friends, many are still hitting resistance from their brokers on voting - can you provide maybe 5 bullet point steps they can do to maximize their voice and rights? Something I can post that really drives home the concrete measures they can take?

First. I want to make clear to the Euro apes that Europe is way ahead of the U.S. in many important corporate-governance matters - like Internet data-privacy rules, gender diversity on corporate boards and, especially, on the need to buy-in shares to settle fails to deliver. But yes, when it comes to European, and Asian-country performance too on voting U.S. shares, many of their systems and procedures are highly convoluted, confusing, creaky, leaky and smelly - and often "fail to deliver" the votes in time for Shareholder Meetings. Extra attention to "proxy plumbing" is required - as it is here in the U.S. too.

Here are my tips to assure that our votes will indeed be recorded at Shareholder Meetings. And please note that many of the tips are equally applicable to U.S. holders who find their votes lost in limbo, whether accidentally or by design:

* First, make sure that you did indeed own the shares on the "record date" for the Meeting - per the confirm brokers send when you buy shares through them, and which proves you are a share owner...

* If you are eligible to vote - and have not received proxy material and a proxy card or "voting instruction form" - call your contact at your bank or broker immediately to demand that these voting materials be sent to you by overnight mail. (Unfortunately, your "contact person" - and his or her contact persons too -  whether in Europe or in the U.S. - typically know NOTHING about proxy plumbing - much less who to contact within their company to get the job done. So be prepared to persist - and to "make noise" until your legitimate demands are met. * If you are told that you are ineligible to vote because your shares are in a margin account - as some apes have apparently been told - cancel the margin provision if you can, and demand the voting materials. (You can also move your account to a better-equipped broker or bank, as many apes say they've done, but you'd need to do it before the record date.)

* I noted that several commenters suggested demanding a stock certificate - which, if you can accomplish this before the record date, would make you a "registered

Hello love-seekers, welcome to my guide.

1. It takes patience, talk to them everyday, and don't let the conversation die down (But don't push it too much, it can lead to failure, requested by u/NorthStar6-4 ) , let it be talking in IRL, on call or in texts.
2. Complement them. But only say honest things: for example "You look great today" if she took extra effort to get ready that day, or "Your hair is really nice and soft" if you can see that she takes care of her hair. Also compliment not only her physical traits but also her personality, for example: "You are very smart, hardworking, kind" (Personality contribution by u/WonszykReczny
3. Be funny. I understand this may not be easy for some idiots on here that just say "haha get rick rolled noob funny poopy", but try to make smart jokes. Look on r/cardsagainsthumanity for some real funny shit. But make the jokes at the right time, like if her grandmother died, don't say: "Well, you have another one".
4. Listen to them. Really listen to what they have to say, pay attention to what they tell you. And reply to it with your real opinion, you want them to like you for who you are, not for some fake personality.
5. Talk to them about personal things. If you have any family problems, (Ok I can't think of anything personal but just pretend I did)
6. Don't rush it. Take your time, it won't just happen 2 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes and 21 seconds after you start talking to her. I was talking to this girl for months on end, and it looked like nothing was going to happen
7. Give physical and emotional support. If they are sad, hug them and try to help their problem, they will really appreciate it!
8. Treat them like a human being, don't treat them like a goddess, they are not. (By u/ i lost the person pls send me a message)
9. If they aren't meeting you half way save yourself the emotional embarrassment and leave them. Obviously at first it'll be one sided but if it doesn't quickly turn into equal care it's not worth it. (By u/ i lost the person pls send me a message)
10. Love yourself before you love a partner, getting in a relationship when you can't even bare your own personality WILL lead to a trainwreck. (By u/ i lost the person pls send m

Thanks again for having me do the AMA, I enjoyed it! I'd be happy to continue to answer some questions whenever I can. I've gotten a couple of requests for the slides, so I'll post them here with some commentary, along with some other slides I didn't have the chance to show.

First, an illustration of how the NBBO is constructed:

https://preview.redd.it/4ivakg899dx61.png?width=723&format=png&auto=webp&s=21881e9826d8b43cb20f9d50ba1c1b4c859a12aa

I mentioned on the AMA that all trades must take place within the NBBO, regardless of whether they are on-exchange, on dark pools or within internalization systems. I should clarify that this is only true during RTH (Regular Trading Hours) - 9:30am - 4pm ET. Outside of those hours, there's no official NBBO and trades can happen at any price. If you see crazy prices during pre-market or AH trading sessions, that's why. Please NEVER submit a market order outside of RTH - you should generally never use market orders anyway, you should always put a limit price on your order, even if it's a marketable limit order.

Here's the order type distribution slide I showed (from 2015):

I didn't get to show this exchange fee schedule slide, but it's CRAZY. Goes to show you how complex markets are when you combine exchange fee tiers with complex order types, geographic distribution of datacenters, and the conflicts-of-interest brokers face when routing orders:

Here's the diagram I showed for market complexity:

Here are the two slides showing off-exchange trading distribution for GME. These numbers come straight from the FINRA OTC Transparency website.

Here are a couple of HFT slides, the second one I didn't have time to show:

mine are:

-give up alcohol

-give up sugar

-give up wheat (idk if that would even work for me but prob)

-reapply sunscreen every 2h (sorry Ik I should and I would if I were outdoors constantly in the blazing heat, but not when I'm indoors in front of the window :/ praise be to dr dray etc but still)

So I was on a first date with this really cute guy, we'd had drinks at a local bar one night and wandered back to mine. After offering a glass of wine and settling in, I threw out what I hoped would be a winning line: "Oh would you like to stay for breakfast?"

Now, it totally worked and he was rather charmed by the cutesy phrase and a wonderful night was had by all.

Now, in the morning, he awakes and asks what's for breakfast. Now, I have the most depressing bachelors fridge ever; barren with the odd beer bottle or takeaways. I hadn't thought to follow though with that line!! I had to shamefully admit this, and although he laughed it off, I knew in his heart, he wanted a full English breakfast or at least some over easy eggs... lesson for today: always be able to put together a hot breakfast, you never know

TL; DR I offered breakfast to a cute date and forgot I don't have anything to make ...
