u/Ira-jay

My dog is laying on my lap and licked my hand near my phone, opening this subs page and joining it. I think he likes Ryu. I personally am indifferent and will be leaving now but I thought y’all might like to know you got a four legged supporter out there

Don't ask me why but i just had to write a quick little fight between samurai jack and timmy turner using jjk rules. Then the reason i had to write it kind of just vanished. Now i have this dumbass fight im emotionally invested in written out and nothing to do with it so enjoy.

"Domain Expansion"

Samurai Jack says, his hands forming the Mudra of Time. Timmy turner watches as the battlefield is encased in a pitch black curtain around him. Dark. Then, he has a vision. Jack in front of him, his sword passing through his ear, then his left eye, the bridge of his nose, his right eye, then his other ear. His vision divided, then dark. His death.

"Your death, should you fail to stop me from returning to the past. If you do not kill me in five minutes time, or if I am able to retrieve my weapon, it shall come to pass."

He explained it. It must be nearer to three and a half minutes now. Timmy thought, the stress in him rising. He's already learned to avoid all my usual moves... He learns too fast... He's figured out moves i never even used on him from my own cursed technique. It must be his Technique, an enhanced, or rather a passive accumulation of knowledge of his enemy. It would explain all his skills. Timmy huffed once, rose to his feet, then charge, he was now on the clock, no time to debate, at lesat not without moving first.

Jack's eyes moved to Cosmo, the green shikigami that hovered over Timmy. He is panicking. Good. I cannot reduce the time requirement of my domain, but he is a reckless fighter and it has been a boon to me. His green shikigami will likely respond to his wants with a weapon of some sort, now that i am disarmed he will use them in battle more aggressively. So long as i show restraint, and make no attempt on his life until the moment of my domain's activation, his pink shikigami should not respond to his needs to harshly.

Timmy lunged forward, his aim was disorient Jack, he gave up on attempting to outmatch him, he'd have to fight dirty. Cosmo cried out a shrill as in a poof of pink and purple smoke, a flash grenade appeared in his hand. Timmy glanced at it and his eyes widened, he pulled the pin and tossed it forward, leaping after it chambering a jab. Jack put an arm up in time to shield his eyes as the explosive popped in front of the two. He'd be so desperate he thought to himself, subconsciously berating timmy for blinding himself just for a chance. He lowered his arm, ready to capitalize but to his surprise, with a shreek from wanda, his other shikigami, and with the faint traces of pink and purple smoke, timmy kept his form now with a welders mask manifested onto his head. He could see.

Timmy's punch sent jack sprawling backwards, tumbling to catch his balance again. His pink shikigami responded to his needs... based on his own actions? He thought. Of course. His nature, it's reckless, his innate ability must take account of that. I should have known. Timmy's feet planted on the ground and were off it again with another powerful lunge. The welders mask poofed out of existence and revealed a buck toothed grin. Wanda will need a few more seconds before she can help me again, but that was my first hit, his brain's probably still rattling, Cosmo's already ready for another wish, he's all i need right now! Timmy lifted both arms and a remote control appeared in his hand. His favorite. He clicked a button as a blade of pure cursed energy formed, he swung down at jack, expecting this to be over, but all of the air left his lungs as jack planted a foot sqarely on his stomach. Timmy flew back even more violently than he'd been thrown himself.

Timmy yelled in pain as he crashed into the ground. Five seconds since it's appearance his remote vanished in a poof of smoke, timmy rolled back jolting to a stop as he fell shoulder first into the blade of jack's planted sword, placed behind him as apart of his domain. The wound healed just as soon as it was made, reinforced with positive cursed energy. He'd been sliced so many times by it, but the blade seemed to refuse to take the life of humans. He shoved wanda and cosmo back however, it'd eradicate them in an instant if he let them touch it, they wouldn't be back till after he was dead. Timmy rolled over to look towards Jack, who now was charging at him. If he gets to his sword, he wins. I'll... die. Timmy's eyes shoot as his body froze over, he'd never been this close to losing. "No!" He cried out, matched in his desperation, wanda screeched, her energy now replenished, there was a poof of smoke as jack halted. He knew he could bait her with timmy's fear, he now had her timing down, ten seconds between wishes for her, three for cosmo, with his wishes lasting only five.

From the smoke a massive pink snake struck at jack, who could only put his arms up fast enough to protect his face as it tore a massive chunk from his arm. He yelled in pain as it used its head to bash him into the air. Timmy watched in shock as his instincts kicked in to capitalize on this chance he'd been given. He scrambled to his feet and charged to where jack would land, who while still in mid air began to heal his wounds with reversed cursed technique. Figures Timmy thought. As he ran he yelled. "Cosmo!" Who responded by producing a patch of ice just under jacks feet as he landed. This cased jack to slip and fall to his side, timmy lept up in the air, reading a punch.

Same as his first attack... but... "Foolish child!" Jack screamed, he swung his right leg hard enough to circle him around for another gut kick, but just before it connected, a shreek from wanda came, and in a poof of smoke, timmy dissapeared, jacks foot met air, and timmy appeared on the ice, sliding across it with his same momentum, Timmy put his entire weight into this, jack had taken every opportunity to meet and surpass every combo he had to offer, that only left him with the option to create new ones. But even still. He had one flaw to rule them all.

"You rely on the pink one far too much" Jack caught timmy's punch, since the welding mask he knew she'd save him from himelf. He knew he took too mch time to recover to even fail once, all her conjurations this battle were thought out, strategic, perfect. The key to beating timmy had nothing to do with timmy himself. It was wanda. He grabbed her as she began her retreat, and as he slammed his foot to the ground, before it made contact with ice cosmo's wish had expired, and he grounded himelf firmly. Jack spun around as he threw his own punch towards timmy, the weight of gravity and leverage behind it, timmy gasped as he held his arm up and in a poof of smoke a green shield appeared and blocked his attack. Four seconds Jack thought.

"Now you have nothing!" Jack said as he let timmy catch his balance behind the shield, instead turning towards his sword. Seven seconds He pitche back and threw wanda towards it No Timmy yelled for como, but he could do nothing. Jack and timmy watched Wanda's body trike the blade of the positively reinforced katana, and disperse instantly. Jack wasted no time and ran towards it. Timmy looked to como, and steeled himself. "Ok cosmo. Maximum Technique. Pleasant Surprise: Poof" Cosmo's body contorted and wrangled as his chest split down the middle, and from it a third, purple shikigami appeared.

Timmy stood, his expression was no longer confident, no longer cared, but reolved. He knew now he was fighting for his life. No cheeky win would save him. He had to finish this now. "Obtuse." With the command poof wailed and the dimensions of the domain expanded, instantly jack's mental projection clashed with the change in space, his barrier was static in his mind. Yet with this change in volume it strained and shattered instantly. Jack did not stop.

"Rubber Goose" A shikigami goose appeared around jack, encasing him, but with a surge of his cursed energy multiplied upon itself the positive energy dispersed the spirit. He grabbed his sword.

"Green Mooe" A giant green moose appeared in front of timmy, and at speed hardly able to be reacted to it shot towards jack. But he was calm. He lifted his sword and the connected of positive energy evaporated it, as he began his approach onto timmy.

"Guava Juice" A tsunami of juice rushed towards jack, who left dozens of feet in the air. Timmy couldn't help but think Man, he jumps good.

"Giant snake" A similar snake to the one wanda had created appeared, only this one far more massive. Timmy knew jack's sword would disperse it, but he had a better idea. The snake slithered just in front of timmy, near where jack would be above. The last snake attack nearly took jack's arm, he knew he could not afford to pay this one mind. He kept his eyes focused, down.

"Birthday cake" Above jack a massive cake fell towards him, it slammed into him embedding jack into its core, then slamming onto the ground under heavy cake and icing. Jack began to cut his way through, unable to see, and not wanting to be held down.

"Large fries" Outside of the cake several javelin sized sharpened fries appeared and launched themselves into the cake at random. Jack felt his stomach, leg, and arm pierced through, he pushed further, and escaped the cake, only to find the jaws of the snake in front of him, already closing. No! I shall not die here, I will make it to the past and exorcise the curse, AKU!

His eyes burned in fury, and his blade sparked in black. The snakes fank cut him down his face but his blade touched it before he was killed. He had one good leg, all his cursed energy went to it and he laucnehd himself at timmy. Looking not too different from timmy's reckless attacks. No time to heal.

Timmy saw jack approach. The sword would not kill him, but it'd remove cosmo and poof. Timmy had no way to stop jack once he healed after they were gone. He didn't know if this next attack would stop him. Perhaps he failed cosmo, wanda, and poof. Perhaps he didn't and jack was simply an unsurpassable opponent. Etiehr way, he decided if he'd not stake his life on helplessly throwing his strongest attack out. Jack had read him because he made himself an open book. Forward attacks, nothing else. Wanda to be the strategy. Jack could only be beat with surprise attacks. What would be more surprising than a strategy born from timmy himself.

Timmy dismissed Poof, the cake, fries, and juice all vanished, as timmy focused on jack, cosmo shrilled, and responded to timmy's wants. In a poof of smoke, cosmo, was 50 feet in the air. Too far for jack to reach before cosmo would be able to cast a wish again. Jack woulden't strike timmy with the sword, it healed anyone not a cursed spirit or shikigami. He'd go for cosmo, timmy would wish for his sword, and finish off jack from below. Jack's sword passed through timmy's eyes. Nose. And ears. As he lunged past timmy, who could feel his vision split, and black approaching. He spoke softly. "I used domain applification. Normally it is used to cancle out the cursed energy of one's technique. In my case, i encase it onto my blade. Positive cursed energy is still cursed energy. It is canceled out all the same. Turning my blade, for which it is impossible to kill with. Into a simple blade. Which can kill. Stand awkwardly Timmy. I just mid diffed you."

Got the game yesterday, unfathomably hooked now, but i have a question. Lets say i wanna make a strictly poor, middle, or wealthy class housing district. Is there a more convinent way to do that besides manually placing down each and every building myself. I like the diverse look and i like watching them improve buildings over time but they keep going beyond what i need them to be. My poor housing demand is always high once i start getting a proper city going and when i make a new housing district it doesn't take long for it to turn into a middle or higher class one. I don't know the deeper mechanics so is there a way to place roads or just a toggle button i can press so when i make a districted area the game knows to only improve it up to the best of the poor class homes? Same with the other districts too. Thanks. Also any unsolicited tips and advice for someone with less than 20 hours could use would be nice. I love this game so far, one of the only things that's gotten me to stop playing rimworld exclusively.

I want to make a combat system that can lend itself to those JJK type of fights. Where there's lots of back and fourth hand to hand that can be the entire focus of the fight, or they can be a means of getting your opponent into the right position for your big finishing move. Or even one fighter going for one method and the other using the other. A real free flowing type of dynamic. I have a basic idea of the most foundational aspect of this combat system I'd like feedback on, as well as any potential ideas as to what could be built onto this foundation.

The system works like this, when two people are about to engage in an exchange each rolls 1d6, with your level of hand to hand skills giving you more d6s over time. For example, a below average fighter would roll 3d6 and an above average fighter could roll 8d6 in each of these exchanges, but for this example we'll just use 1d6. So both players roll 1d6, then the each player subtracts their opponents number from their own. So if fighter A rolled a 3, and fighter B rolled a 6, fighter A would be left at a -3 in that exchange, and fighter B would be left at a +3. Fighter A subtracts 3 from their HP and fighter B adds 3 points to a resource pool they can use for more advanced techniques.

And that's it. This is the most bare bones version of combat still, basically two humans brawling. This is meant to be used in a JJK setting so people would have their own abilities they can use to give them edges that add contextual d6s to their exchange rolls or they may not even aim to go hand to hand at all. Think Megumi vs Reggi. Megumi's strategy in their final exchange of attacks may have been to build enough points for a martial ability that could be called "sneak attack" he could apply to his dog to take reggi off guard and finish him off. Now think of Todo's fights. He may rely on his hand to hand skills for wins, and use his ability to give him more d6s to ensure he'll win enough exchanges to beat his opponent, and use his stored up points to navigate any challenge his opponent throws at him. Then think of Jogo, he likely never uses exchanges, and instead purely uses his abilities to kill people.

Also yes, i do realize this is a very winner favoring system. Once you win one singular exchange statistically speaking you have the advantage right off rip. The more you win exchanges, the easier it is to win the entire battle. That's intentional. If you start losing, i want my players to start fighting dirty, creative, or using more of their resources to cope as a means of putting themselves back in the winning position. And for the winners, once they begin to win, i want them to have the ability to begin focusing on completing goals beyond just winning. Once again, think of sukuna vs Maharaga. Sukuna was winning his "exchanges" for the majority of the fight, and thus had the ability to start playing with maharaga's adaptations, teaching him to feint, and making maharaga show him the full capabilities of his powers which inspired him to use him later in the series.

This is a setting i use for my DnD games so it has alot of dnd content mixed in.

My world is called Ezra, and I divide it between Ancient Ezra (A.E) and Modern Ezra (M.E). Around 400 M.E magic began to enter its advanced era. The time where third level spells stopped being the best the average wizard could do. Most of that advancement came from a single halfling named Hilbert. Elves are typically seen as the "magic" people and they're pretty protective over that stigma, but Hilbert practically had magic in his DNA, he was so good at it and so integral to it he was Durian Kingdom's, the primary home of elves and the magic capital of the world, favorite person.

Hilbert did alot in his life, which he extended with something that's more relevant later. His biggest feat was the creation of the wish spell. He created it at around 500 M.E and got so good with it that by 600 M.E the spell would cast automatically, against his will. He could think "man, i could go for a sandwich right now." and the spell would grant that to him. He was simply another tier of powerful when it came to this world. My lore isn't 100% finished but it's very likely that it'll stay consistent that while he was alive, he was THE most powerful creature on the planet. (at least in terms of mortals).

He had reached the peak of his contributions to ezra and was now entering his legacy years, where he isolated himself in his tower, found and adopted four daughters from various parts of the world, and studied what he liked rather than with the intent to create anything. But before he fully committed to just being a chill old guy he needed to put his mind at ease by putting a cap on the risks of his wish spell. For his own quality of life he developed a method of thinking where his more inner thoughts took lead and his surface level thoughts were suppressed. Think of it like riding a bike down a hallway with branching paths. You see a left and right path and your brain just TELLS you which way to go, based on choices your subconscious is thinking about faster than you can comprehend. It feels like a random choice based on nothing but it is technically a choice your brain made after thinking about factors faster than you comprehended it too. Hilton's was just very reliable based on time and wisdom, so more often than not it worked out. This let him live his life without firing his wish off every two seconds.

As for the spell in the hands of others, he tracked down Amilda. In my lore i have a pantheon of several gods. Amilda was the goddess of the sea. She, with Terren, the god of Earth, created the planet together, as well as the sea, and land based creatures respectively. Amilda thought it'd be best if each creature were meticulously managed like a sims character, so they could live their "best" life. Terren thought it'd be best to let them just run their own course, with more vauge and general guidance. Long story short, they fought about it and Terren won. But, he didn't want to punish Amilda too badly, so he banished her onto Ezra, into the lowest point of the deepest ocean, where she is now. There is a legend that she will grant any mortal who finds her a wish, if they can win her over. The wish of even Hilton was insignificant compared to the scope of what a wish from a god could grant.

He found her, and won her over again. In Hilbert's natural life, at around 450 his original great feat was finding Amilda in the first place. When he found her, he asked her to expand the capacity of his mind. This is what let him learn so much that enabled him to do the things he did. But her influence on him also gave him a much longer lifespan. He'd have most likely lived to be five or six thousand years old. With this second visit she was less willing to be so nice. Anyone who meets her is made aware that if they ever come back she will take that as an insult. Regardless he managed to convince her to give him one more wish at a cost. He had her place limits on his wish spell, both casted by him and anyone who learned it. Only once per day, at a great material cost.

As payment, it was made so that if anyone spoke the name of any of his daughters they would die. She also took his magic. After the encounter, he miraculously still had his wish spell, which seemed to be too well mixed into his soul to be taken from him. It was only limited to once per day, but it still cost him nothing but a thought.

From that point on, he lived peacefully. He studied in his tower, learned new skills, and spent time with his daughters, less so after they became adults with legacies of their own. One of his daughters came to him one day. She was a human, very advanced with magic but the elves wouldn't recognize it. She was only significant to them because of her relation to Hilton. Beyond that she was just a human to them, so she sought their approval by turning herself into an elf permanently First through altering her physical appearance, but when they refuse that, she aimed to make herself an elf genetically.

Over her years of study, she kidnapped elves and humans, and did hundreds of tests an exparements on them. All of which tuned into nothing but torture. Eventually she gave up trying, and turned towards Hilton, asking him to use his wish to turn her into an elf. He refused, so to show her desperation she told him of the things she had done. Instead, this only made Hilton see her as a monster, and his shock lowered his walls enough for his wish to make his thoughts reality. She attacked him as a true monster, and fled, leaving him hurt. He laid injured for an entire day. All the while wishing for the entire situation to be over. His knowlage of what his daughter had done, her desire to be an elf, his slip, turning her into a true monster. Once it was able to be use again, he only wanted what hurt his daughter to be gone. And so his wish removed the power that did so, and with it fully joined to his own existence, he as well was removed from reality.

Eventually he was checked on, the elves even years after his active years held him as a treasure. When his "death" was discovered, as well as the evidence of his daughters actions. They wanted nothing but revenge. Amilda's curse was found out long ago, but one of the few wishes Hilton allowed himself was to remove all of their names from the memories of all but themselves and Hilton. But they still existed in text within the tower tower. They found her name again. The next morning, in Durian kingdom, when the Elves began to wake, they found their whole kingdom graffitied with the name of a woman they had no way of knowing. It's not known who would have been the first to say it out of curiosity, or recognition but it was inevitable. And so unbeknown to them, an entire kingdom participated in an execution. The other daughters were framed for various crimes, and labled as wicked. And so the four of them, one now dead, became the wicked witches of the north, east, south, and west. Despite the kingdom's campaign to vilify his daughters, they still teach his life's story in their schools, call him a hero and genius, and learn his spells.

I've been sick in bed all day so I've just been thinking of my ideal life and felt like sharing it for no real reason.

Firstly, i wanna win around 250k dollars in the lottery (after tax). Enough to live off for the forseeable future, but not some absurd amount that would make me feel like i'd never have to work again. Also, I want to live in Canada with my girlfriend and promote her to wife. I wanna make ice cream for people. And i don't want a stationary stand, i want one of those roller carts you can sell ice cream out of. Maybe even i'd build it myself honestly. I'm vaguely aware of how to make homemade ice cream but i wanna become extremely aware so i can make my own flavors and proportions.

If you're the local ice cream guy, you're everyone's favorite. Children, adults, elderly, it doesn't matter. I'd sell it for super super cheap too. Like, one dollar ice cream. I don't honestly care about doing it for money, i have another thing i'd like to do for money, but this would just be a fulfillment thing. Make people happy, make myself happy and if i ever have a super bad day, i have a bunch of ice cream right in front of me.

For money, because of the 250k, I could just let me and my girlfriend go balls deep into doing our creative work for exra money. Like, just see how much we can get between the two of us while we live off the 250k. She does prints, stamps, embroyderies, she makes clothes, and costumes and patchwork. I like to edit together motion comics, write short stories, and i run dnd games alot for fun. I could totally see myself editing trailers or issues/chapters from people's indie comics and/or manga to get them noticed more. I don't think i'd wanna do dnd for money, making content beyond running games isn't really my thing and i don't think i like games that require a fee to play.

I want a bald cat named Skin Tag. I'd like to make sure my family is ok financially but i don't think i wanna really interact with them once i have my own place. And i wanna have a small garden for things like onions and tomatoes and whatever else i might want. It'd be cool to have chickens too.

Ignoring mod/game restrictions and possible computer performance issues oc any kind, what’s your most out there/wanted gimmick run?

Mine is a joint hospital/power plant. In one half I can take in pawns with illnesses, injuries, disabilities, or requests for biological/biomechanical or even gene improvement and bad gene removals, cure them for a fee, beds cost silver similar to hospitality, and I can even have an area for visitors of the sick/injured to stay while they recover. This can be in the form of quests to cure diplomats or other important people, travelers who came here to be helped, or people from other factions who sought my base out for medical problems they couldn’t solve themselves. It’d also be a place I can sell all the medecine types from as well as organs, (both doner and “borrowed” from raider) and various tiers of prosthetics.

On the other half I have a super OP power plant that can charge batteries super fast. I could have a plot of land for power cables where factions can rent or buy the space to have the poles routed to their bases, essentially powering entire other settlements. There could also be a charging station for other grav ships or shuttles, cardigans could bring their empty batteries to be charged, or I could just straight up sell pre charged batteries. Maybe even have a second settlement made to actually store all the power produced to avoid atomizing all the patients in the hospital section.
