  • Found a new BBEG

    Jump

  • Counterpoint. If she is high enough fey, this creates so many opportunities for the DM to fuck with the player in fun and creative ways.

    Eg: spell fails, but she pretends it works. Discount applied, item is cursed. Etc. All charm spells cast by user now have inverse effects, and their feet smell bad.

  • Red signs you've noticed in partners that made you want to slap your past self?

  • Yeah, the red flag grew over time. Not exactly paranoia on my part in terms of being murdered if something -- she wasn't obsessed with being a perpetrator. Rather, she was obsessed with the notion of being a victim. When we were still together I discovered documents she was writing full of rape fantasy (with herself as victim), and that's when I got out.

    After I left, she went about slandering me to all my friends telling them how horrible I was. Not just the "oh my god he is bad at sex" stuff that you'd expect, but stuff inspired by her obsession with killers and rapists.

    I had a copy of the documents and had a lawyer make a notorized copy. Decades have passed. She became a marginally successful documentary filmmaker and publicly makes claims that she is a rape and abuse survivor and such now, as a way to boost her profile. I'm always afraid she is going to direct her victimhood fetish at me in a public way, so having some ammunition in the event I need to fire back only feels prudent. In a "believe the victim" world, where trials happen on social media, it won't matter that she fabricated it.

    The sign I should have noticed... She wanted to be a victim. It was a core element of her personality.

  • One of my first relationships. She was obsessed with documentaries on serial kille

  • Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?

  • Fair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?

    Even Reddit didn't start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.

    This advice generalizes. There aren't enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

  • "space music" -- I played Mass Effect 1 long ago and got hooked on the idea of musicians trying (and often failing) to make music for futuristic settings. This is like Star Trek episodes that reference classical music but some person has to predict what classical music will sound like in 2300. So they go with with future retro stuff and it just tickles me. So I seek out these sorts of experimental musical pre-trend predictions cause they're often hilarious.

  • There are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things -- and they're pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.

  • Yeah, it was fucking weird. Which is why I started googling and found this.

  • I don't know what 86° is in science units, but it sounds warm. It was +27°C today and the plants were loving it.
