Sam’s gas can says “Scream Jar” and has a plastic cup for people to pay into when the scream. Look, not that Disney needs any help from me, but I was sleeping on Ms.Marvel for a while, and I watched it this weekend, and it’s genuinely my favorite Marvel thing since Endgame. It’s my favorite blend of high superpowered weirdness, but also everyone is written like an actual human being. And it has the best music since Black Panther. Also, it has our very own Fy’ra Rai: Anjali Bhimani in the cast. So maybe watch it if you were gonna skip it. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

I'm at 30:22 and have never been so frustrated with a group of people not killing 😒 what to me is a clearly a very dangerous person or at least very dark intentioned dangerous person, that wormed their way into the group through deception and keeps trying to get them attracted to them for what seems insincere reasons. I really loath people who play with others hearts in order to endear themselves more to them just to use them. I didn't like or trust this character when they met them and before I watch any further I'm just saying this isn't even the first time I wanted them to leave this person somewhere or kill them if they would't go away. The rest of the group wanting them to come along and being really excited about it or really sure would be enough to get me to be quiet about my protestations but it would not get me to ever trust them fully for a second. This would be the moment my willingness to comply at all and any built trust would be gone. I would have already snapped and when Birdie put their blade in the gut of that lier I would have immediately helped finish the job. I don't believe there is anything they could say at this point to make me change my mind because Birdie has way more credit at this point with everything in this story and adds up to a better person than I'm sure the other one is. This is the first campaign I have ever watched and I've never gotten to play so maybe I could never play a character that trusts anyone easily. I honestly picked up on the fact that this person who had joined was full of c*** in their first encounter before they even made it to a Taste Of Tandoori, so I don't know if i'd make a good player? How do you play a game when You don't even need a Perception Check to Know that things aren't right both from the story they're telling you and just the fact that you can look at them and tell they're lying?

@argi_a 8 ай бұрын

@@riverlady982 I understand your point, I also don't think I would have trusted them if I was the one playing, but at the same time I think we have to understand this is still friends playing with each other! Erika was a guest on the show and it would have been rude and boring of them to just kill their character right away. Also I think all guests' characters are supposed to be relevant to the story in some way, so yeah I guess the cast was also suspicious but wanted to see where it was all going

I kind of hope they don't go that way with it. It would make for dimishing returns with each new reveal. I *do* think that Orryms late husband probably was. Orryms been assuming the attack in which he died was targeting Keyleth, because Keyleth is the big VIP everyone knows about in Zephra, but there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part of the episode where Hondir has no idea who she is, and that makes me think the Grey Assisins had a different target that day. My other theory coming out of this episode, is that all the uber-Ruidis born (Imogen, her mother, and in all probability Otohan as well) are all descended from Alyxian. [SPOILERS FOR CALL OF THE NETHERDEEP]... Alyxian was a Ruidis Born warrior during the Calamity who was so badass he became the champion of 3 prime deities at once. One of the other titles he is known by is 'The Paragon'. Assuming my theory is correct and Otohan is not only Ruidis Born but descended from Alyxian, 'The Paragon's Call' could very well be a veiled reference to her ancestry.

Although as an amateur astronomer Matt is torturing me through his not quite accurate usage of astronomical terms. The zenith is the point directly over your head. And object "at zenith" is as close as it will get to the zenith, which for stars and moons (not artificial satellites) occurs on the meridian. (The line defined as where the sun is at noon, am/pm are ante meridian/post meridian) Apogee and perigee are specific points in an orbit, apo means far, peri means close, gee means earth. Apogee is the farthest point in an orbit from earth, perigee is the closest point in the orbit to earth. (Exandria isn't earth so technically Matt should make up a different suffix than -gee but that isn't a big deal, for the sun we use -helion) The solstice and equinoxes are dates, soltices are the longest & shortest days of the year, equinoxes are days with equal daylight and nights. (Equinox litterally meains equal - night) Anyway the "apogee solstice" is just means "point on orbit farthest from exandria, longest day/night of the year". (He could have used perigee atleast so that way its when the moon is closest to the planet instead of farthest away) And the event sounds like the magical equivalent of a magnetic reversal where the poles change places, except for this its the lei lines moving. Just the curse of knowledge, Matt is slightly misusing words i understand and its slightly breaking immersion. (Maybe i should pretend that its just terribly named in universe, a lot of irl science things are terribly named.)

I didnt watch calamity. I'm going to within the next couple weeks but I'm seeing a bunch of people mentioning this. Is there any small bits of detail you can share that doesn't spoil calamity to help me understand what's going on?

@@DevilWearsAdidas Calamity is filled with lore. I understand skipping the other EXU, but Calamity seems to tie in heavily with this campaign. I recommend giving it a watch. Brennan and the players did a fantastic job.

They are scarily competent in that regard. Leaning into talking, persuasion, and manipulation was the right course for them, as they had to know that an out-and-out fight wasn't going to end in their favor.

it was a brilliant play by Erika to make Yu make a horrible mistake in trying to seduce Orym. Yu hadn’t been around long enough to understand the depths of Orym’s grief. They misinterpreted Orym’s denial as just not being interested because of Dusk’s gender instead of being unable and unwilling to move on. What was supposed to be an enticement ended up spitting on his husband’s memory

The part people don't get is that when a Fae makes an oath, they are magically bound to it. This is why Unseelie avoid them, so this is how you KNOW you can trust Yu/Dusk to keep the oath. They may look for a way to bend it, but they won't break it.

One of the worst examples of meta-gaming was not just killing them outright when she started shapeshifting to try to fuck with the characters. Any other NPC would have been dead. But since it’s a guest, they are extremely lenient with the character. It went on for WAY TOO LONG and it was the most frustrating thing I’ve ever witnessed in CR.
