I'll sooner murder a marketing executive

Are you suggesting that this person may not actually be admitting to several crimes openly on twitter

No kidding, I'm tired of people acting like I'm an idiot because I don't have the European countries and their positions on the world map memorized. It's a continent I'm unlikely to ever visit, why would I need to know these things?

"Europeans know these things about America, why don't you learn them about Europe?"

I never asked y'all to learn about my country. I'm not gonna judge you if you can't pinpoint Sedgwick County, KS on a map. I live here, I have plenty of reason to know it. Someone living in Avignon doesn't

You're right, it's only roughly one in every 20 rolls. It's only almost precisely one in every 20 rolls. It's only a 5% chance, which some would say is literally synonymous with "one in every 20 rolls," which isn't strictly true, because it's possible to have more or less than one natural 20 in any run of 20 rolls, because it's only one in every 20 rolls on average.

I've been arguing about the portal paradox all day and these comments have gotten on my nerves more than anyone trying to explain to me that the cube isn't moving

I have wondered about using it post... Other things. Do healing spells reduce your refractory period? Could someone get Ed Greenwood to weigh in on this?

On average. On average. On average!

One in every 20 rolls is a nat 20, ON AVERAGE. That's how probability works. Are you happy now that I corrected it? Was it worth leaving the most pedantic comment on the entire internet?

Session 3

"I wanna buy a bag of holding from this guy"

It's gonna be 200 gp

"We only have 50 gp between us... I'm gonna roll persuasion!"

The DM ended up letting her get away with Prestidigitating some fake platinum pieces, which by all rights ought to get us arrested

You are really trying to pretend that you know literally anything about me

Bottom line is, these memes misrepresent what D&D (and TTRPGs in general) is like, and that's why I don't like them. I have a similar problem with the super popular actual play shows. The Mercer Effect is real

I'm not taking the green text seriously in the comment you replied to, I'm complaining about the effect the general meme has had on the game

I play with these noobs, and explaining that a nat 20 is not an automatic success on whatever the player wants comes up every other session. It's a problem because it both makes the game more annoying for me to play, and less enjoyable for the person who thought their plan was going to succeed. I'm not concern trolling, I'm offering personal experience to the discussion
