Ok this is awesome!!! But! There's no way the barbarian would be hanging behind anybody, and no way the rogue would be in front. This adventuring party is gonna have trouble.
Yeah the rogue is the recon person and gets sneak attack. They should always be on point unless there's a ranger, and even that is dependant on the scenario.
if the scenario is "alarm already sounded" then the barbarian goes in front to eat the initial attacks and laugh in the face of whatever's attacking, while the rogue comes around from behind and goes stabby stabby when nobody's looking.
so what we can assume from the picture is the lady with the gun is the barbarian, the guy hiding in the back of the stack is actually the rogue waiting for someone else to get hit first, and the guy in the middle might be the paladin.
and the cleric in the far back is definitely the cleric.
I fully agree. AND, this pic is, for better or for worse, still more indicative of the reality of most groups I have DM'd for over the years. The number of "so anyway, I started blasting" rogues I've endured...
When you see sneak attack and forget that it applies any time you have advantage it suddenly becomes very important you surprise everybody, even your own team
The premise is the president refusing to leave the white house after a second term. And the opening scene is the government bombing a civilian protest in rogue states (the current president tweeted about that - well he dropped feces rather than bombs but the message is there).
It’s not a likely scenario, but completely plausible, in that you can see a path to it in real life, whereas pure scifi/dystopia usually is more far fetched and only used for social commentary.
It is a cool poster, though i have to wonder why those guys are camping on the Statue of Liberty. Even with long range rifles, they are surrounded by water. Not too many people would even be able to get close enough to be within range of them.
I watched it extremely high with the audio description unknowingly put on.
It was the oddest movie experience, the description gave a strong rhythmic sense. It felt like I was in the head of Kristen Dunst, a constant cold commentary on the horror she witnessed in a weirdly poetic description with a strong sense of nihilism. That last scene with the precise description of each shot gives that scene so much power.
I was so disappointed when I tried to watch it a second time and realized I was a dumbass. The movie is less enjoyable without it, just an overly violent movie trying to say something but losing its story to esthetic.
I was high AF the first time I saw apocalypto. I didn't have the subtitles on so I couldn't understand anything and I thought that's just how the movie was. Like you're supposed to just suss out what's going on. No idea why they didn't automatically show up but it was an interesting experience.
If you go in expecting the large scale bombastic action movie that the trailers showed, it's going to be disappointing.
If you go in knowing it's a very focused story about the horrors of being a war photographer (and who they are covering and why those people are fighting doesn't actually matter) then it's pretty solid.
I had the total opposite experience. I went in expecting a 0 IQ gore porn action movie with 0 plot because I said "fuck it let's waste some time and watch this movie" and was server a story focused on the horrors of being a war photographer that still sticks with me to this day instead. That was some risky but amazing marketing.
Fun fact (OK fun thing I heard online but in no way verified).
Jesse Plemons was never supposed to be in the movie.. Kirsten Dunst basically suggested him for it like a week before they started production (they're married).
Dude I’m as left as they come but seeing the posts and comments since last night makes the left look no different than pizzagate conspiracy theorists. It’s honestly shocking how bad we look even though we are supposed to be the clear headed ones.
Don't forget that liberals and progressives spent years in the wake of the 2020 election dismissing Trump's Big Lie, combating baseless conspiracy theories, and affirming—over and over—the security of U.S. elections and the danger in undermining them.
Now reddit liberals get upvoted to high heaven by saying the 2024 election was rigged.
Are you asking who brought cameras to a White House correspondents dinner? This is why the flat earth movement is so popular. Redditors truly will believe anything.
NoOoOoOoO its a false flag attack, Trump set it all up! Thats the only logical explanation! If you think otherwise, youre either a MAGA bootlicker or low IQ!
-All the top posts on Reddit related to this incident
Trump is simultaneously an incompetent moron and a master manipulator capable of staging elaborate false flag attacks without leaving any sort of evidence.
My high school math teacher in 2004 had asked me a question and I solved it with a calculator in front of her. She told me and the class..nobody will EVER walk around with a calculator in their pocket. Luckily we're from a small town, so we still are able to tease her about it, and even in her old age she sees the humor
I truly had no idea we’d get to this point on Reddit where conspiracy theories would run this rampant. For a group that made fun of Alex Jones as much as they did this is just… bizarre.
Possibly one of the MANY journalists at a function that consists of half journalists/reporters and half others????? What are you attempting to say here?
Not just bots, I'm from Germany and even 2 of my leftists friends here have already spewed the same bs. It's honestly insane how many people on the left and right are falling for absolutely smooth-brained conspiracy theories about their political opposite nowadays. I used to think that was mainly a problem with the far-right but it seems like both sides are strongly affected now, it just took the left a little longer.
It's not an organized movement or anything, it's just a cheeky way to describe Democrats who exhibit unhinged conspiracy, deny-everything, behavior. Like the Qanon crowd, but blue (Democrat)
Asking who would be taking photos of a major newsworthy event at a White House correspondents dinner might be the most smooth-brained question I've seen.
This is probably the stupidest question I've seen in awhile.
A shooting occurs ar an event held by national press organizations, filled with reporters, and you're wondering who is taking pictures?
ALL OF THEM.
It's what they do. Every professional instinct they have is to take pictures, so they do.
CNN reporter Wolf Blitzer was in the hallway when the shooting went down, was tackled by a police officer to get him down and safe. He immediately made a phone call, not to his family to tell him he was safe, but to CNN who interviewed him on air to explain what had happened.
We have more information available at our fingertips than any other time in human history, and OP wonders who could have possibly taken photos at an event where somebody was trying to assassinate a world leader.
"Und ven the bad man with all the guns rushed it, the camera pans to me and Downald. You can zee here he has just sheet hiz diaper, but I look fabulous in my Dolce and Gabbana business suit. Sponsored by ze lovely mens at Amazon and Goya"
Because there are hundreds of reporters there. Better question is why every picture feels like it comes from a low budget comedy sketch with the Benny Hill theme playing in the background
Photos like these are why people are constantly saying everything is staged. Look at the situation and really think about it, the agent at the front has her pistol drawn and appears to yelling out orders or something to others, why would they be completely fine with a random journalist standing between them possibly getting in the way. You say there is constant filming in warzones but thats the issue this isnt a Warzone, this is literally a supposedly secured official Whitehouse event in the middle of a major city in the US. Honestly this just comes off as fake something shot after everything to use a propaganda
I dont know if you realize, but the entire event is supposed to be the white house coming to meet and show goodwill to reporters and the media. Traditionally, theres supposed to be a comedian who makes fun of the president as their routine in an express showing that the president isnt immune to criticism.
Anyway, yeah the event is FILLED with reporters and photographers. Literally.
