The Redcaps

Hi I'm Kevin from the Redcaps Podcast! I love to chat about #ttrpg systems like #dnd and #osr games. Tune in to hear some great conversations with people in the industry and the occasional tip that may help your game. theredcaps.net podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/there…

@TimothyImholt I fail to see how X could possibly compete with YT on monetization at this date. maybe if they make changes in the future but currently if you are looking @ monetization as a deciding factor YT is the king

If you, right now, today, were going to decide to go "all in" and build a social media audience with an eye towards monetization, which platform would you want to specialize in? (I can only put four here, so deal, I know there are others)

@WildernessPaths @Benjamin_Hingel @EndWokeness It must be very tiring having to pickup and move that goalpost so often.

@Benjamin_Hingel @EndWokeness Ok fine, but the Odyssey is mythology. It includes gods and monsters. Are they being depicted "accurately" as well? We don't actually know what accuracy looks like.

"Who cares what color Helen of Troy is?" - same people that went crazy when Disney cast a slightly lighter-toned Hawaiian for a remake

@RmbaileyRob I got it in 5 but i hate words with dbl letters

If you can't track the difference between this scene: youtube.com/watch?v=E8WaFv… and this one: youtu.be/fRwd1zYZEAU?si… I don't know what to tell you.

@Nobleshield yeah if i'm running something that offers free trials accepting that + sign is asking for some doorknob to try and "inifinite money glitch" by signing up over and over with different + sign accounts. Obv why they don't want that.

@TheRedcapsNet multi-account is exactly why I use it lol

I hate how Gmail lets you use a + sign in an email address (which is correct per the spec), e.g., me+something@gmail, but so many websites are too stupid to realize that, so they will not consider it a valid email address.

@rob_avis_ramble So basically - you taking the one nugget out of this you can agree with and are defending it completely ignoring everything else ... gotcha ... enjoy your day .

I don’t think I’m confused. But maybe, it’s happened before. My understanding was you are asking can you imagine saying to your wife she needs to keep the attraction high (age doesn’t matter) My answer is yes and actually do say that to my wife - and any and all tools that make sense to do so are on the table to make sure that happens. -R

Can you image saying this about your wife? If she looks like Hannah Waddingham at 52 I'm going to make her take non-approved peptides to lose weight ... If you actually have a wife I hope you get a smack upside the head. Plus Waddingham looks great.

@rob_avis_ramble If you Rob had gone to Brown and in a one on one you asked him his opinion on H.W and he said that - that's one thing. Brown instead unprompted saw someone else praising this womans looks and decided you know what everyone needs to know this and spouted off. Shit behavior.

@rob_avis_ramble You seem to be confused on my issue with the post - I don't care what you are or aren't attracted to. Making public statements about someone you don't know and saying you'd force grey market drugs on your wife if she ever looked like her ... it shows shitty character.

@JoshuaLisec Oh please describe me great seer

@TheRedcapsNet I can tell what you look like from reading this.

@rob_avis_ramble I think suggesting that your wife takes unapproved grey market drugs to lose weight when she isn't obese or unhealthy simply to match an aesthetic I prefer isn't a questions of standards it's a statement of ego. A 52 woman 5'11 and maybe 160# isn't letting herself go..

@TheRedcapsNet You might want to consider higher standards. 52 is no excuse to not expecting high effort out of your wife. -R

@NobleBrown great - you're kinda missing the point that saying you'd push grey market drugs on your wife if she looked outside of your ideal figure (not unhealthy or obese just not your ideal) is kinda gross Also disparaging a person you don't know by saying they look so bad they need drugs

@TheRedcapsNet Me and the wife. She's 50.

If mu wife looks like this at 52 I'll have failed miserably as a husband because I should have had her on reta 30 pounds ago

@osgamer74 Corgi? Some of them that have been mixed with your aussie sheep dogs (Auggie) are quite stunning

I’ve finally convinced my wife (who has a fear of dogs) that we are getting another dog My Staffie boy passed away a year back I’ve always had dog-dogs. Strong looking dogs So the Mrs says shell compromise with a labra doodle or some other tiny dog-ette I can see it now …

If you enjoyed The Odyssey (or even if you didn't and want to read something) I highly recommend the Stephen Fry greek mythos series:

@TimothyImholt For anyone else doing this I would highly highly recommend Stephen Fry's entire greek series: I honestly feel his telling of these stories are the most accessible and most "complete" in terms of how he lines up timelines and links the various stories / myths.

Right here. I was hoping this movie would drive people to do exactly this. Awesome. Score one!!!

@Nobleshield @Marky_X_ Then don't get it - no one is saying you have to - what is being called out by many is that the reddit thread (really the blog post) is a hit piece & bad faith arguments out to rip someone down You can like or dislike anything you want - you (global) don't need to be a dick

@Marky_X_ It's just nothing INTERESTING to me. Another "old-school" style game in a sea of old-school style games that are all mostly the same with slight tweaks.

I looked at the Deathbringer campaign and while I applaud for its success, it absolutely fails at bringing the "Frank Frazetta" aesthetic and demonstrates little understanding of the man's work. To give an example, the men in Deathbringer are clothed. Frank's men were anything but modest. When it came to the physical spectacle of his subjects, Frank didn't discriminate. Both genders were exposed to the same painterly logic of danger and myth. My issue with Deathbringer is it's very one-sided. Almost all of the pieces look up like a pin-up instead of a frozen moment of myth that Frank is famous for.

@CaritaErik98592 @osgamer74 The shorts are the athletes choice - men generally wear longer shorts that come mid thigh.

@osgamer74 And how are the men dressed? Does they show off just as much? 🤔

This is what the EU wants to take from people The EU is truly evil

@ScythianB Do you bottle your farts so you have something to huff at all times of day?

This is an example of someone who speaks common, not English. He's using English colloquialisms like spells, without understanding them. "I'd tell you to stop being stupid, but..." He's about to tell us why he won't ask me to stop. "That ship sailed" Meaning it's to late. 1. These phrases don't work together. Let's assume I've been saying something stupid. A real possibility! It's too late for me to not say something stupid in the past, but I could stop and not say it in the future. Daniel saying "that ship has sailed/you missed the boat/train has left the station/etc doesn't apply here. If I was saying some stupid, I certainly could stop. I think Daniel understands how time works, in a rudimentary sense, at least. But he doesn't understand the "spell" he's trying to cast because he speaks common, not English. "...and it's wife is busy asking suitors to string a bow." 2. I'm not going to beat Dirty Dan up for using the conjunction of "it is" instead of the possessive pronoun "its." This isn't even a new sentence; the pronoun can only mean the ship. But it makes no sense for the ship to be married to Odysseus's wife. Degenerate Dan just made a nonsensical reference to the Odyssey. Which is typical of common speech. But doesn't work in English. When it is pointed out to Dan that his sentence, reminder it's only one sentence, doesn't make any sense, he alleges that it's just a typo. Typo primarily means misspelling a word or typing the wrong homophone of a word, a mistake made while typing. Typos don't refer to incongruous ideas slapped together in a single sentence. 3. English is an endangered language. Don't let these cargo cult common language cretins get away with culturally appropriating our language for their primitive primate curses.
