Serpent Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 9 hours ago, MillionX said: ah, I don't recall bringing up what I consider the low-tier, generally undesirable shit in the Vampire the Masquerade world... the Salubri clan: https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Salubri As a clan, they're barely even around in modern times, and their founder was consumed by the originator of clan Tremere. They're also typically envisioned as the "healer class" good guy vamps...but even worse imo is the fact that they have a literal 3rd eye on the forehead that cries blood when the "disciplines"/powers are used....and they are typically vamps that seek to solve the "problem" of being a vampire? Nah, get outta here with that lame-ass goody-2-shoes nonsense. Oh and then their clan weakness is that their blood is especially delicious to other vampires (and keep in mind, your 3rd eye bleeds whenever you activate a power; and that in itself can potentially cause a "Hunger Frenzy" from nearby vamps)...though you are seemingly compelled to be the healer.... meaning this type of character is always doomed, imo. Man please 😄 I'm also not really a fan of the Gangrel clan either (https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Gangrel_(VTM)).... random animal features showing up and feral impulses, diminished intelligence and speech? Hell nah... it's a no for me, dawg. I'd consider this to be 1 step up from Salubri's lame ass though, if you just do well to avoid that frenzy status...and at least the animal features are not permanent. I'm not an expert, but I think Nosferatu are the worst, because when I played Masquerades and did the little quiz thing I got them, and they pretty much break the damn game.

Yeah, that's an odd one for me--- any social/dialog situations are always a problem for a Nosferatu because of that clan curse of being ugly monsters. I figure the main thing here is just *how* ugly and deformed you end up being...which is apparently a random thing. If this were all a real-world thing, I'd take it only if I knew exactly how I would look after becoming one....sometimes it may be a cool type of "hideous", actually...or something that is easily covered up by practical effects like fake hair, nose, special contacts, makeup, etc. One could also make use of their "obfuscate" power to look normal....but yeah, the rank of this clan varies in my mind, dependent on the extent of ugliness one would be cursed with. One clan that is a top pick for me, but has one of the worst curses in a modern setting---> Lasombra. It wouldn't be so bad if the *only* thing to worry about is having a strange, distorted reflection in all mirror surfaces and recording devices....but they also have a problem with all technology now.... so you wouldn't even be able to enjoy video games that much anymore. Imagine, trying to play your new PS5 or Xbox, gaming PC or whatever...but it's only functioning properly about 40% of the time because of the curse. You can't reliably use any phones either...or tablets, perhaps modern cars may be an issue as well. "Technology" is such a broad category that it makes this curse one of the worst in the game/lore, imo. *If I were writing/designing this, I would've just limited it to a curse on mirrors and any device that records or broadcasts their image and audio only capturing or transmitting warped visuals and audio. Phones have a very simple solution at least; I'd always have a ghoul "personal assistant" that happens to sound like me...and this guy would answer phones or make calls for me.

Get it out of here WOW. I don't know what you have to do to become a nurse in Jakarta, but if it's anything like over here, she just threw away years of schooling for nothing. I don't get people that do that. Men or women. If your job takes forever to learn and get a license for, why the hell risk it over dumb shit? I say that even as someone who once lost a job he got after 7 months unemployed for nodding off during a couple meetings. Even to ME this shit sounds stupid.

elliephil Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Started watching "Sweet Home" on Netflix the other night. I never read the webtoon but would always see screencaps on twitter. Pretty cool show. It got me to start reading the "Bastard" webtoon which I guess is suppose to be a prequel or something to Sweet Home. I haven't really read any manga, manhwa, etc in over a decade, wondering if there was any horror recommendations anyone on this thread could recommend? Link to comment

Just off the top of my head: (These are all comics) Hack/Slash (Don’t read Resurrection.) Locke and Key The Beauty American Vampire Revival iZombie Immortal Hulk Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Netflix adaptation is dope as fuck too) Ice Cream Man Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatural BPRD Out of all of these the only one I haven’t read is Doctor Voodoo. The reason I listed it though is because Rick Remender is an amazing comic writer. His X-Force and Captain America runs are some of my favorite runs in comics. So I’m assuming his Doctor Voodoo run is also quality Edited December 31, 2020 by iStu X elliephil 1 Link to comment

Got into the Note game with the Note 7, then got the Note 8 because of the bullshit with the 7, and now I'm on the 10. I actually use the Spen a shit ton, especially useful for taking notes in the field at work. Don't think I'll ever go back to a phone without a stylus. Yeah man it's really great so far! I need to get a better screen protector than the one they included because it has a hole around where the fingerprint scanner is and when I swipe with the stylus, it messes up my words sometimes.

Might be worth looking at them and seeing what they have for the 20 models I like having a case on my phones because they feel too slippery to me being these thin, expensive slabs of glass. My S7 had a bunch of scratches on the screen because I was using it to try and look under my car and dropped it on the stones and when I grabbed it and pulled it towards me, it got scratched and I hated the way that looked. My phones have always stayed in pretty good condition and I usually end up getting one of the wallet cases (my girl got me the Spiegen case for this one) so its less to carry overall. But I feel you, I didn't have a screen protector on my s7 and it was just that one event that scratched it up despite me dropping it several times. Chadouken and DangerousJ 1 1 Link to comment
DoctaMario Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The missus had to buy a new laptop to get a little work done because the boy child cracked the screen on hers. I'm getting it set up and Windows 10 comes shipped with a setting called S Mode which basically keeps you from being able to install apps from outside the Microsoft store. Now, if you want to turn this setting off, you can't just untick it in Settings, you have to go to the Microsoft store via Settings>Security & Settings, log in, download a setting, and turn it off that way. Windows 10 is such a trash OS. Every time I have to use it, I'm glad I kept my own PC on 7, but I'd rather my computer be less "secure" than have to deal with BS like this. Say what you want about Macs, but Apple at least has the foresight to make their OS user friendly enough not to put actual settings behind all that. Deadly_Raver 1 Link to comment

Yeah, but you can change that setting locally and without an internet connection. Win10 makes you log in to their online store to be able to change a single setting that drastically affects how you're able to interact with the system.

I don't get why they don't put it in the settings locally. It makes me think they're doing it to make it harder for people to fuck up their computer but this just makes it more difficult than it has to be. Tbh if I didn't have to compile it, I'd probably look into Linux, but I need osx for work and when I'm gaming I use my win7 laptop if I even game on my PC at all.

Either way, why make S Mode on the default setting when invariably most people will want to turn it off? And if it CAN be turned off offline, then why would the system l lead me to the online store and make me change it that way? Things with Linux have changed i guess, because I remember looking into it and there being a lot of compilation involved. Either way, since having my kid, I've tried to minimize the amount of time I put in diagnosing computer issues. When I had more time I didn't mind doing it but now that I have less, it just feels like wasted time and is why I'm glad I decided to go console rather than build a gaming pc like id originally planned to do.
