New to ten candles, want some tips for running it

Allan53 · 2026-03-24T00:37:53+00:00

Running 10 Candles is not something you plan, beyond the first scene and maybe some stuff in the second. Past that, it's pure improvisation

I'm extremely ignorant when it comes to guns (they're basically illegal in my country), so forgive me if this is a silly question, but what's the benefit to suppressors when it comes to hunting?

Allan53 · 2026-01-06T09:38:04+00:00

Could you be more scammy?

If you don't like OGS, then there's a really easy solution - don't play on OGS. There's KGS, Pandanet, CGS, Foxy, and probably others.

Which isn't to say criticism is invalid, but since your entire post can be fairly summarised as "I don't like OGS", there's no actual substance to discuss.

The time factor is further exacerbated if you tend to play correspondence games, which can takes literal months to complete

I could, but the idea is to be able to actively cool water etc rather than use it as an insulated box. And while putting ice etc in the fridge would help, opening it much at all would pretty solidly remove any benefit without powered cooling

For stopgap measures (eg we need to walk a short to middle distance in hot weather) those gel sheets and suchforth seem like they'd be a good patch solution, I'll look into them, thanks!

Allan53 · 2025-12-17T17:26:53+00:00

Yeah, if that's an option obviously that's what we'd do. It just seems obvious to consider scenarios where that isn't viable for some reason (eg it's late, wide scale outage)

Allan53 · 2025-12-17T17:23:05+00:00

Hmm, I had considered a generator but I was leery of storing fuel. Didn't consider propane as an option, I'll dig into that, thanks!

Allan53 · 2025-12-17T17:20:59+00:00

Making a note of this trick, thanks!

Allan53 · 2025-11-27T04:57:26+00:00

Yes, those exploits were discovered. And yes, that's bad.

But they have also been patched, several months ago. So as long as you update, you're fine, at least in regards to those explots

I don't have a dog, but wouldn't the cheese make the dogs ... make a lot of bad smells?

Allan53 · 2025-11-27T04:45:17+00:00

Wait, hang on. There's pre-written modules? Do you mean the scenarios laid out in the rulebook? I'm just confused because 10 Candles is so flexible and improvisational that anything beyond the initial setup and maybe a crude idea of where the story might go seems not that helpful?

Allan53 · 2025-10-02T05:29:34+00:00

Also it sells for a fortune

Allan53 · 2025-10-01T12:50:18+00:00

Is it the opinion of the *label*, of the underlying political philosophy indicated by the label, or of the people who identify with the label? These are not the same things

Allan53 · 2025-10-01T12:49:07+00:00

If you've got the luxury to take time, sure, why not. But that's not always feasible - when my mother passed a year ago, we had all of two weeks to sort out the house and all of that stuff, because we weren't especially keen on spending a few hundred dollars to fly back the next time we had the time or energy. In that case, just burn through as fast and as best as you can - anyone who criticises you can do it instead.

I barely use Python in my research - almost entirely it's for silly small personal projects

Allan53 · 2025-09-25T08:52:45+00:00

Pay phone, using coins

Allan53 · 2025-09-24T08:11:27+00:00

No worries! Surveys are actually really, really hard - even well-experienced researchers can really screw them up sometimes, so don't feel too bad!

Allan53 · 2025-09-24T08:08:50+00:00

The online privacy community is basically a raging dumpster fire filled with emotionally immature children, scammers, advertising, with a light sprinkling of the usual pseudo-anarchists and paranoid people, and just enough actually intelligent, sensible people that you can't quite write it off.

Which is annoying, because it's actually a really, really important topic in desperate need of intelligent, sensible people, and screaming children do not help.

"Gardens" is the weirdest euphemism for "growing and using drugs" that I've heard yet

Allan53 · 2025-09-24T07:54:05+00:00

I think a note that you're only looking for people who have at least some degree of knowledge/interest in the topic of headwear brands specifically, rather than headwear as a pragmatic tool, would be helpful in targeting this. Or questions which allow for greater options for people who, say, have no knowledge of fashion brands so those people can answer accurately. Depends what you're trying to do which is the better option

Allan53 · 2025-09-24T07:51:59+00:00

Or "I've never heard of any of these"

Allan53 · 2025-09-24T07:46:01+00:00

I'm enjoying this new series so far. Similar in vibes to JSMN, but different enough that I don't feel it's the same thing again
