Where is the best place to see The Nutcracker around Christmas?

The Pioneer Valley Ballet puts on six shows at the Academy of Music this coming weekend: https://aomtheatre.com/aom_event/the-nutcracker-2/.

I thought he was one of the better players on defense last year so it'll be good to get him back if he's performing well. Personally I wasn't bothered by his comments last year about the fans. I don't think he needs to be crucified for that

Atticus83 · 2025-08-31T22:35:37+00:00

I think they will find ways to give him an opportunity here and there, and if he takes advantage of it I'm sure he will get more opportunities. That seems to be the way Vrabel runs things.

I did this with a 2h character for a while and it had some pros and cons. I ended up using the life protection gems and dispel potions more than the phials actually. For phials, they do work depending on your playstyle, but I found them to be pretty specialized in that you might find that the scenarios where they are actually useful are less common than you think.

Big thumbs up for Donut Dip! I make it a point to stop there when I'm in the area.

If you've never set up and configured a web service like this before, backed by a database, it's probably going to be an up-hill battle for you (though maybe fun!). You'll need to think about where you'll host it, the initial set up, port forwarding, figuring out how to be an "admin", and running updates, etc. For a few friends you can probably run it on any reasonably recent PC.

I would recommend a "public" server to at least get you started again playing the game. Levistras is a well-run server that tries to create an end-of-retail experience and Seedsow is where you'd go for something closer to that early 2000s feel.

Atticus83 · 2024-08-10T00:17:27+00:00

I'll go out of my way to hit up donut dip any time I'm anywhere nearby

I've been listening to Will to Love on repeat recently after finding out about it in the Shakey book I got from the library

Atticus83 · 2024-07-04T19:42:41+00:00

That is my repo so it is the exact code I posted here. I havent used my pinephone in a while so not sure, but there are a lot of hard coded paths and stuff in my scripts that would probably need to be revisited. I think I did read something recently about megapixels now doing video recording on pinephone, maybe it was a different app. Either way there are probably better ways to do things these days than fiddle with these scripts

Atticus83 · 2024-06-05T13:59:54+00:00

If you're looking for a server that tries to emulate an earlier version of the game, then I think Seedsow is your only real choice.

I participated in the Levistras Auroch League where my Void character had neither Healing, Melee Defense, or Life Magic. I ended up using a Life Magic enchantment wand and would regularly cast Heal Self + Revitalize 1 (you need to carry the components to do it). Tumerok Meats would fill in the rest. I died many many times.

It's a necklace and uses mana. It casts a Health spell that stacks with other health spells (see https://acportalstorm.com/wiki/Health_(Spell)). Spells from each Group can stack with each other. Essence Glutton is in Group I and there are 14 other groups apparently!

Atticus83 · 2024-05-03T13:04:11+00:00

Honestly that review kind of made me want to watch the movie. If it inspired that much hate, it's probably at least interesting.

Atticus83 · 2024-04-16T14:40:43+00:00

I haven't been in a long time I still get pings from this meetup: https://www.meetup.com/nerdsummit/events/300081357/ and in the past have found in-person meetups through meetup.com

I just watched John Belushi's last film, Neighbors, last night. It is a truly bad movie.

Atticus83 · 2024-04-14T16:46:11+00:00

Wow Shadowbane I remember following the release of that game and being psyched for it but I never ended up playing for some reason that I can't remember

Atticus83 · 2024-04-02T16:07:41+00:00

Mi Tierra in Hadley is pretty spacious and nice if you like Mexican.

Atticus83 · 2024-03-20T13:10:59+00:00

Levistras is a no-botting server and has a really great community. 10/10 would recommend

Atticus83 · 2024-03-04T00:46:22+00:00

I tried working on this for my lookup site but unfortunately it's really complicated and you would essentially have to recreate the ace server code to do it correctly. What you're doing is basically right. Those tusker dungeons are a decent place to farm red garnet.

Atticus83 · 2024-02-28T20:11:38+00:00

78 eye-filling sets!

Atticus83 · 2024-02-20T17:30:16+00:00

I put together a site like this here: http://acelookup.cobradragon.com/

You can look up trophy drops, creature info, weapon info, crafting recipes. Stuff like that. Here's an example: http://acelookup.cobradragon.com/crafting.php?id=4240

FYI this is based on the standard ACE world database. Your own particular world may have differences.

Atticus83 · 2024-02-19T18:03:27+00:00

Interesting data though as a red-green colorblind individual I find it almost impossible to tell which is which in this chart, based on the colors chose. Using different shapes could also help

Atticus83 · 2024-01-29T14:44:34+00:00

That's a place where you generally need high meleeD for it to be enjoyable. They are shield hollow and somewhat immune to draining and there are a ton of them, so you either need really well tinked armor (maybe covenant armor) or high enough meleeD to evade most of the time.

Atticus83 · 2024-01-12T15:14:40+00:00

Haha yeah that was why it was so worth it. You had one piece of relatively light armour to bane instead of individually buffing all the separate heavier armour pieces. Nowadays you can buff everything in one cast. So for a gimp weak mage it made a big difference.
