If you have your own Discord you can set it up so only admins can post reactions, make some unique emoji, and do it that way. Or make a google docs spreadsheet and keep that up to date.

hyphz posted:No. I tend to lose a lot of confidence at the old statement from the Ab3 rants - "think about the worst book ever published; it's better than the best thing you ever wrote.." Wrong, because the best thing I ever wrote ended up being a published book that's far from the worst. Checkmate

kingcom posted:As someone who is basically trapped as a forever GM i've always been tempted to look through those LFG threads but goddamn do I hear nothing but horror stories out of it. Extremely same. Also it's like, 90% D&D/Pathfinder games and the other 10% is Warhammer of some kind and the usual setting description might as well be "welcome to the land of eternal misery and suffering". Nobody runs happy games

I'll always love the story about how all those sleek uniforms were actually useless at pretty much everything you expect a uniform to be capable of doing. Troops dying of frostbite or being strangled by their own suspenders in the name of fashion.

Ratoslov posted:Yeah. I hear that the grenadier's uniforms had a complex system of hidden suspenders sewn into it in order to avoid ruining the look of the uniform. These built-in suspenders were a bit expensive and also never worked, so they eventually issued them normal suspenders as well. They never worked because they basically fell apart if the wearer moved faster than walking pace, if I remember correctly. All the fancy internal belts wound up coming loose and getting tangled together.

Please, elaborate on how saying "gently caress off" on an internet forum is deep magic that shall banish all such fiends back to the cold abyss from whence they came.

Bosushi! posted:The most terrifying aspect of this game was Watson. He didn’t actually move during gameplay so he was programmed to perpetually respawn behind you in order to simulate following you around, but he wouldn’t respawn as long as he was in your field of view. You could walk backwards a great distance away with him in sight, then spin around and be face to face with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13YlEPwOfmk

Isekai stuff that explores how the stringent rules of an RPG-based world can be broken, peasant railgun style, can be pretty good. A couple of ones I've read that aren't too bad have the reincarnated/transported person as sort of a supporting act for the actual main character(s), which is another way to make it interesting. The ones that are just blatant wish fulfilment aren't interesting to read, much like most lovely fiction that mistakes power fantasy for actual plot.

golden bubble posted:There already is such an Isekai. Kono Sekai ga Game da to Ore dake ga Shitteiru is about how the video game-based reality is full of glitches and potential exploits, and the main character acts and talks like a person from a speedrunning marathon, like AGDQ. There's a chapter where he defeats a bunch of high level monsters at very low levels, because he knows their AI doesn't have any attacks that hit right below them. So he lies in the safespot and slowly pokes them to death. Yeah there's more than one like that. There was one I saw called "Exterminator" where the guy is literally an exterminator from regular earth. Lays down poison traps in a dungeon and then levels up 10 times in his sleep as hundreds of dire rats take the bait. Last I saw it had gone into a bit of a weird tangent about the metaphysics of how dungeons work but the initial few chapters were kinda funny.

The worst isekai is that one where the main character is some all-powerful wizard who gets a whole harem of elf maidens and solves all the world's problems, and the author's literal self-insert is the wizard's best friend and they hang out together drinking lovely beer. I think it's called Forgotten Realms.

He sent them a message asking why, they said "you're this guy", he said "no I'm not" and asked to be unbanned, and it basically spiralled from there into a complete shitshow.

Dawgstar posted:Having re-watched it recently, the only thing I feel like is a valid complaint off the top of my head is there's a whole lot of Greg Weisman indulging his "just as planned" fetish no matter what happens to the villains. Yeah but let's face it, it makes those end-of-season moments where the kids gently caress up all their poo poo infinitely more satisfying.
