I thought stuff like "Explain Like I'm Five" and "AMA" was proprietary to the community, or at least the Reddit community, not Reddit as a company. I checked and I found at least those subreddit forum names were registered as trademarks. - TODAY I LEARNED (TIL) - SHOWERTHOUGHTS - EXPLAIN LIKE I'M FIVE - NOSLEEP - AM I THE ASSHOLE? - IAMA - RPAN (actual subreddit name is R/PAN but they messed up the word mark for the registration I think.) - ASK REDDIT (makes sense since this includes Reddit's name.) - NATURE IS FUCKING LIT (I thought you couldn't register word marks with swearing but I guess I'm wrong. Must be only for offensive terms then...) - ASK ME ANYTHING (yes somehow this "generic term" is a trademark now...") - AMA - ELI5 Also they have some trademark registration applications for WALLSTREETBETS that have not been finalized yet.

I just noticed this when I saw a strange "Achievement Unlocked" notification pop up on Reddit. What do you think of this? It seems like a retention tactic to me, like what Amino had with its streak leaderboards, and GameFAQs currently has with streak achievements for logging on ten days in a row and also for all days of a month.

It got me interested in thinking that there might be a battery made in the future that could be made exclusively from resources that can be grown or renewed. How many years do you think we're off from getting that kind of battery invented?

This isn't good... and yet my bros keep on buying these games as close to day one as possible... Monster Legends (a game they have the rights to due to acquiring Social Point) has two separate battle passes, a "Legends Pass" and a literal "Battle Pass" that both cost more than ten dollars monthly separately. If that's the standard to be presented in NBA 2K24 Angry Joe will be furious! Oh and while watching the YouTube video about AngryJoe's disapproval for this, I get a YouTube advertisement for a sports gambling iOS app just right after he states he made a whole video about NBA 2K19 being comparable to a casino with how its micro transaction systems work and look! The rating straight up states "Gambling" and the app is rated 17+.

Some time ago, like in 2021, I discovered this Morph class from EN World's A Touch of Class document on 5E SRD licensed to be put on the website by EN Publishing themselves. https://www.5esrd.com/classes/3rd-party-publisher-classes/en-publishing/morph/ "Morphs are the embodiment of transformation. Whereas a druid looks at the power of beasts as just one weapon in their arsenal, the forms morph characters take are the core of their being. Each morph has an exceptional degree of versatility in adventuring, because they could as easily become a rat, wolf, or monkey to resolve the situation at hand. Furthermore, each morph has forms (and problemsolving strategies) they prefer." "Why hide when you can become a rat?" "Why cast spider climb when you can become a spider?" "Why don a disguise when you can simply assume a new identity?" It looks like a cool shapeshifting class for fifth edition D&D, similar in scope of the Master of Many Forms prestige class from D&D version 3.5. You don't get spells with this class so it is definitely more focused on shapeshifting than the Druid's Circle of the Moon subclass. The class description starts by saying that each Morph gained the ability to change into other forms as a result of an incredible experience of some kind. Reasons it suggests your character could have gotten this ability include your character getting "blessed" by a fey creature or cursed by an aberration, a horrible event like a failed arcane experiment or shattering of identity, or your character beginning training to be a Druid but focusing far more on the shapeshifting element, possibly to the point of not properly being initiated as a Druid. You choose between one of three subclasses when you acquire this class, choosing between the Doppleganger, the Primordial Beast, or the Trickster essences, which while only giving you a feature at level 1 and level 17, some traits you can choose from require a specific essence. The class has a talent system in which you can pick and choose some aspects of the class to acquire, up to eight at level 18. The Ancestral Beast trait allows for using the Natural Weapons acquired from the Primordial Beast while shapeshifted, more of them in general, and to pull them out all at once with an action, useful for feeling more like a chimeric creature. All-Terrain Physiology, available at class 15th level and higher, allows you to cast Alter Self at will for no spell slots similarly to Druids from the Circle of the Moon. Some traits allow you to change into additional forms by using two uses of shapeshift. Tiny Changeling allows for shapeshifting into anything that has a CR less than 1, but for humanoids you keep your equipment and not acquire the form's regular equipment, while Form of Artifice allows for turning into constructs or inanimate objects, but requires completing a long rest before using again. Some traits relate to spellcasting as well, though don't give nearly as much power as a spell caster would. Morphed Spells can be acquired at character level 18 or higher, and allows for using spells and preforming the somatic and verbal components of spells in alternate shapes like the Druid class gets at the same level. It seems to be most useful if a few levels of the Morph class is taken at a high level with the character having a majority of their levels in a primary spellcasting class. Characters with only Morph levels and some spellcasting feats may be able to benefit, though not as much since the Morph class is not inherently a spellcasting class. The amount of shapeshifting uses you get increases to three at level 8, four at level 15, and unlimited at level 20. You get to turn into forms up to CR 1/2 at level one and up to CR 9 at level 20 with the class. At third level you get the ability to speak normally in shapeshifter forms and also modify the appearance of your forms to have some superficial aspects of yourself.

I like the concept of turning into other creatures on my own volition. There's a prestige class in third edition called the Shifter which allows for changing into various forms far more than a regular wild shape would allow, such as humanoids, oozes, plants, constructs, dragons, and outsiders (I could turn into an Achaierai if I wanted to). It also comes with full talking capabilities in any form provided by wild shape so I can be a talking animal temporarily. Version 3.5 has a nerfed version of it called the "Master of Many Forms" which has less available form groups to turn into (no outsiders means no turning into an Achaierai) and no unlimited form shifting at max level. The closest official option in fifth edition is the Druid's Circle of the Moon which provides slightly more powerful forms to choose form, but doesn't allow for anything other than slight humanoid changes, elemental forms, and stronger beast forms, and doesn't provide the ability to speak in wild shape. Unofficial classes such as EN World's Morph class try to replicate that Master of Many Forms experience. What's your favorite prestige class?

Bats Tag365 • 1 year ago • 100%

I like Swoobat from Pokémon. It's a nice loving type of guy. During courtship a male Swoobat produces waves that uplifts anyone hearing the waves. Also it sleeps upside down from its tail, not its feet. Its color scheme is nice - in the artwork at least, other sources have it take on a greenish hue instead of the nice blue shown. It's pretty interesting. So, what's your favorite fictional bat species?

I've liked it ever since I saw that picture of it in the version 3.5 Monster Manual for Dungeons & Dragons. A very cool and comical looking monster in the artwork here. It's strange that it got retconned from chaotic evil to lawful evil when Planescape was introduced.

Some sources claim that the Dayak fruit bat, Lesser short-nosed fruit bat, and Bismarck masked flying fox (flying fox is another name for fruit bat actually) have males lactate milk. How did the males of this species gain this ability and what do they use it for?

They're a pretty cool Heartless design, I wouldn't mind looking like one if I was a Heartless. Also they seem to be cool quest givers so maybe one could actually be a mini game host for a lot of people if Heartless weren't as malicious as they are in the actual series.

Apparently in 2013 there was reports of a woman having 50 pet skunks. The first skunk she had was gotten around the year 2000. She is also claimed to be the starter of the annual "SkunkFest" event, too - I had no idea she was linked to that event. News reports quote her as saying she calls her home "Skunk Haven" which is also the name of an online website, by the way.

There are many classes and ancestries in Pathfinder Second Edition to be a part of. Which combo would you be if you could both choose for yourself? For class I would pick to be either the Druid class or the Summoner class. The Druid one is due to its collection of shapeshifting feats and spells as well as its generalized nature based magic. I like shapeshifting as a concept, and usually this class in TTRPGs is based around that as well as having some nature magic to spare. You ever heard that "the power of nature is impossible to resist" before? Though annoyingly in game the shapeshifting feats take more than all the slots if you want maximum shapeshifting capabilities and variety. The Summoner one is because I could have a sunflower monster, which I imagine would be something like Blossomon from Digimon, or a magical beast such as a stegosaurus, a giant skunk, or a giant vulture on my side. It would be cool to have a friend in the form of one of my favorite flowers or animals. Then on top of this I still have some magical power myself... not a lot of spell slots but I have some still. For ancestry, if the ancestry feats were based on their abilities and habits, the human ancestry would be me because there's a feat they can learn that grants them an archetype for the other class I wanna be. That means I could have both advanced shapeshifting powers as well as the ability to summon a beast or plant monster friend. I would be of the beastkin heritage because then I could be like a humanoid skunk, vulture, whale, or stegosaurus too; it also means I have some deeper ability to have animal like abilities such as a larger body, refined scent and sight in darkness, and maybe the ability to fly or dig better. If I ran on free ancestry rules the extra feats would likely go towards having a familiar and also an animal companion... which would make me kinda like a walking zoo. Maybe I can be that guy who's a skunk man that turns into various animals, has a sunflower monster that's his friend, and also has a vulture familiar and a skunk companion.

Has anyone else saw a video like that pop up as an ad on YouTube?

Pigs Tag365 • 1 year ago • 100%

I hear pigs are much smarter than people would think from an animal.

A YouTube video I watched recently claimed that summoners might have been considered a bad class in second edition. However, it doesn't seem like that at a glance - there's opportunities for various creatures and beings to stand by your side, such as a plant monster kinda like Blossomon, a stegosaurus, dragons, and so on. Also they come with a nine level magic collection on top of the Eidolon - and the Eidolon can learn spells too with the correct feats. So you could make a druid like character with lots of magic but their main aspect being able to summon a giant sunflower, as a result of acquiring lots of Druid archetype feats for magic casting and feats related to the Eidolon casting magic themselves. Or you could make a stegosaurus man who summons a powerful stegosaurus that knows a lot about nature and fights for them. Sounds like a cool class to play, but I haven't tried the game much to see how any of this would work in gameplay.

Digimon Tag365 • 1 year ago • 100%

The first Digimon game I remember playing was Digimon World 4, and the second one was Digimon World: Data Squad. I remember playing as Dorumon in the former game, and not getting that far in the latter game, though I saw my brother get way further into the game than me.

It would be one of either the Large Body, the Flantastic Seven, or the Darkling for me. The Darkling seems to be like what happens to a Keyblade wielder. The Flantastic Seven Heartless seems like a cool and fun kind of species with how their mini games are. The Large Body is a round brawler who seems to use its own round body in comical ways.

Modded Minecraft Tag365 • 1 year ago • 100%

I tired this pack called "Cottage Witch" on Steam Deck with a few extra mods such as Controllable and Distant Horizons and it seems to be a good enough experience. Unfortunately I have to throttle my system to have decent battery life - otherwise it would only last for 100 minutes. With throttling and reducing the frame rate to what I would expect from my "gaming PC" it would last for 3.5 hours.
