Asking on behalf of my wife, who is black.

The question is simple: would someone who is Half-Drow + Half-Human (Extremely dark skinned, black parent) be able to 'hide' their Drow half, if it was a point of tension or conflict? Or would they just appear as a normal Half-Elf except perhaps greyish?

I figure that if they got white hair + red/purple eyes it would become a bit more difficult, or if they were clearly that 'ink' black that Drow usually are.

For any PoC out there who have had this rather niche self-insert (from a white person's perspective anyways, haha), how did your characters end up looking?

That's pretty much it. I think the kid-owner had twitchy fingers. That wild-western standoff theme played and his fingers were curling as if he was going to reach for a gun (that didn't exist, as far as I remember). During the montage, I think Eye of the Tiger was just straight up used in the flash, as nobody cared about copyright back then. Ultimately, I think the twitchy kid ends up smashing the hamster with a hammer in spite of everything.

I saw this a long, long time ago on CrazyMonkeys.com or something like that (Not CrazyMonkeyGames, this predates that site/developer I think.)

I've tried a bunch of AI queries and also dug through this sub with a few keywords, but no luck so far.

• MAYBE a JoeCartoon animation.

• NOT Hampton the Hamster.

• NOT Salad Fingers.

• NOT Hamster Hell by Lee Hardcastle.

Hey! This is NOT really about min/max party comp. It more so has to do with dialog and RP!

My party is currently:

Charname Shadowdancer.

Keldorn.

Haer'dalis.

Jaheira.

Imoen.

Aerie.

ToB Spoiler: >!And I'm going to replace somebody with Sarevok.!<

The question is: which one goes, as in, which one of the above has amazing interactions with him and will have more RP. My partner is playing with me and she doesn't know about the twist companion, but ideally I'd like for her to see some great interactions.

Personally, I'm thinking Jaheira goes? She might have some things to say to him, but...? Plus I'm kinda tired of her being meanie to me.

Keldorn is by far my personal favorite character, and getting rid of Keldorn could show my Shadowdancer being more ebil. I think Keldorn is stronger, but having two two-handed sword users isn't ideal if someone else is replaced, so replacing Keldorn would likely retain my party a ton of power as well, not getting rid of any big time casters.

We want to watch Haer'Dalis and Aerie's romance to spiral, so they stay paired if possible. The RP for our party is that Imoen and Shadowdancer are in some sort of very platonic closeness, perhaps like a desperate even physical clinginess to the other after being separated and united by extremely cruel circumstances repeatedly. I think our Shadowdancer would instantly go deep evil route if Imoen was the one who got replaced.

Or my wife might hate him and want him to die. I'm not sure, yet. :P

Hello. I'm Zoe, I'm a male passing enby, 29yo.

Since I was a young teen, I knew I was bi/pan, more feminine, the whole works - and I had a dad who was supportive and friends who didn't mind.

But as I went from about age 26 to age 29, I started hating this aspect of myself, and feeling like I never wanted to interact with other queer people. It feels like so many people are in a position to live out their perfect life as a queer person and enjoy their lives, but I can't seem to see myself in a happy situation as my queerness 'increases' so to speak.

I have a partner (wife) of over 10 years who went into knowing who and what I was, but as my 'tendencies' grew stronger and stronger, the way I perceive myself or want to think of myself changes, or the way I'd like to exist in this world changes - my relationship seems to grow more fragile. It makes me feel like exposure to other queer folks always makes everything worse, because I feel like a complete asshole imagining these scenarios and ways-of-being that will ultimately ruin my partnership because she doesn't approve of them.

She was always open about lots of things: being a huge m/m enjoyer, being very endearing about queerness and very accepting - but if I was the one in those positions, she was not a fan at all. Once it became 'real' it's clear that her view changed, and honestly I don't even blame her, because I don't even want to be in this position. I'd rather I was never encouraged to 'find myself' or anything because every time I figure out something about myself, my life just objectively gets harder and worse as it goes on.

I don't particularly want to toss my marriage away just for the sake of 'experimentation' or pursuing a gut feeling that might make me feel worse in the end. In fact, I'm almost spiteful towards how accepting people are about the option of tossing my relationship aside to experience a queer life 'alone' (I have never been single as an adult, my partner I've known since High School), as if I suddenly have permission to throw everything I've built away for basically nothing.

Then as everything comes down to it, I just feel wracked with guilt because I feel like I have to go out of my way to NOT talk to other lgbt+ folks because I maybe I was 'influenced', like I could 'contain' how I felt about myself, preferences, etc, but now it's becoming impossible to do.

Up until the recent times, I thought I could live with being relatively 'quiet'. I could enjoy concepts or ideas from a distance. And for a long time, I did. Ever since like.... summer of 2025, it became so hard to suppress and regulate these qualities of myself from maybe taking too much acceptance, whimsey, or openness into myself. Before that, I would never say I had internalized -phobias, because I genuinely did accept that these were parts of me. But as my surroundings made that parts more 'visible' or 'appropriate', it became harder to LIVE HAPPILY without having an intense yearning for an entirely fresh lifestyle - one that I never wanted to have to make such brutal, damaging choices to appease.

I hope someone here has experienced this and might be able to shed some light on their perspectives without chewing my head off for being a confused, scared person as my being/person is rapidly changing. I want to be friends with the same folks, do the same shit, and exist without having identity crisis running me ragged.

(Yes, I'm in therapy. Yes, I do plan on bringing this up eventually.)

*Edit: some grammar and readability.)

Hello.

I can plink Magblast in the Down and Down-Forward directions (2, and 3) but I have trouble getting the other 6 directions down. Especially the backward-dash directions, and the straight forward one specifically.

Also, sometimes I have this issue where if I do a regular Magblast after a jump, I'll get an accidental Plink Magblast upwards, up-forward, or forward (8, 9, and 6).

Any advice on cleaning up my inputs, and what drills to run?

Also, my keyboard does have ghosting issues, which could be contributing, but I have the same issue on my WASDbox when it isn't.... lost. lol.

*Edit: Also, I was watching some RayRay recently, and I wanted to ask a question about his Disruptors. Are high-level Magnetos doing some sort of Disruptor dash cancel/ plink while in the air? Or is it just a level of accuracy that makes 'normal' Disruptors look way faster than normal in terms of where the beam is placed in the air?
