InexplicableLunchFiend [he/him]

The nearly indigent “free lunch fiend” was a recognized social type. An 1872 New York Times story about “loafers and free-lunch men” who “toil not, neither do they spin, yet they ‘get along’”, visiting saloons, trying to bum drinks from strangers: "Should this inexplicable lunch-fiend not happen to be called to drink, he devours whatever he can, and, while the bartender is occupied, tries to escape unnoticed.

  • Yeah they are dead because people forced them to like the taste of beer? What a stupid and infantile attempt at an argument. Alcoholism is a disease with a lot more complex causes than the taste of a single type of alcohol being acquired. Alcoholics don’t get drunk because they like the taste, they do it because they have an addiction which fills a void, is used to cope or deal with despair.

    Now tell me, do you think your friends who tragically passed from addiction and disease and despair would appreciate being used by you as a bludgeon to win unrelated pointless online arguments? Don’t you think you are being wildly disrespectful and out of line?







  • Appreciating a wider variety and depth of flavor is indeed sophistication. There’s no virtue inherent to being close minded about food, while the inverse is not true - being open minded and willing to try and appreciate new things and gain new acquired tastes is a positive trait. You sound like a tourist who goes to a new country and complains about the food being terrible because you don’t have the acquired taste. It’s just close-minded and chauvinistic to assume you are right and have the perfect pallet already and everyone else is just wrong and stupid for liking things.

    It’s fine to try new things and dislike it and not personally enjoy something. It’s not ok to proclaim your taste as the objective truth of reality and mock and shame people who do like it, or to refuse to try new things.





  • There’s no point of fighting the bulette really, even with glut rez it’s annoying to navigate terrain. Minimal XP for effort and crap loot. Just run from combat each time.

    Minotaurs are easy though. Spectator is much more dangerous in honor mode. Make sure to hit a petrified drow with a ranged attack to spawn it and avoid the surprise round from the cutscene. Keep your team spread out. That’s the only dangerous encounter in the underdark really. Grym can be killed by keeping a player up above and chucking down random objects for bludgeoning fall damage, bring lots of heavy things.
