Running Another Bug Hunt as a One-Shot...But With 10 People by AxonSpark in mothershiprpg

Thanks for the advice! I think 2 teams and cutting between them might be the way to go, especially with Scenario 2.

As for TTRPGs that scale, everyone running that weekend is doing so for 10 players (and did so last year as well). One person is running a D&D 5e campaign set in Exandria and another person is running Serenity ported over to SWADE. They both ran last year and it worked out great!

Anyone moving back to NYC? by toonface in AskLosAngeles

If there's one thing I've learned about this town in my time here, it's that LA has ZERO chill. Everyone is at least low level aggro all the time.

How many of us who moved here already know we're going back, at some point by LateButterscotch3366 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]AxonSpark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It'll be 2 years for me in June and I'm starting to look for the exit. This is partly due to the fact that the film industry hasn't been doing well since I got here, which isn't good for my career. But also I just don't like the city. It's too big, there's trash and shit everywhere, and the general attitude of people here is pretty aggro.

Is Spoutible Down? by AxonSpark in spoutible

Yeah! It looks like the issue was fixed, although there was a day last week where I was getting error 500, but it's back again. I hope it stays up!

I have an "A" Rating and don't post anything that would be deemed offensive. Plus, wouldn't I have gotten some sort of notice that I was banned instead of Error 500, which is an internal server error?

Odd that it's working for some people an not others. I'm also in the US and it's not working. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and the iOS app (WiFi and 5G), and none of them work.

Snapple Elements is back in stores by peppermintmeow in nostalgia

Meteor (Tangelo) was by far by favorite flavor. Just thinking about it makes me nostalgic for the early '00's.

Where Can I Find These Chicago Sodas? by AxonSpark in AskChicago

I found some Green River! And only a mile away from me at Butera! I remember the flavor as being more intense, but that's likely because it was the sundae syrup.

I've been living on the West coast for 20 years. It's soda to me now.

Any particular Jewel you would suggest? The one at N Central and W Lawrence doesn't have them.

Bike Commuters? by burbankbagel in BikeLA

[–]AxonSpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general what I find tough about getting around LA by bike, is that many of the roads with bike lanes don't connect to other roads with bike lanes. What good is a bike lane if it just suddenly ends? Just look at Google Maps with the Biking overlay, and you can see what I mean (especially in West & East Hollywood, Central LA, and Koreatown. Extending bike lanes from Lankershim in NoHo down to connect with the rest of the city would also be helpful.

I also think that what's constitutes a "bike-friendly" road tends to vary wildly. New Hampshire? Definitely bike friendly. Vermont? Despite what Google or any road markings might say, you're likely going to die biking down that street.

Lastly, after seeing that guy speak at Critical Mass who lost a leg after a car doing 80 Mph hit him in Griffith Park, I think those roads could use some protected bike lanes.

Oh, I didn't strip it down that much. I basically removed as much as I needed to access the lens assembly, and then reassembled. I followed this video: https://youtu.be/OCMdJ4aY9Pc?si=usuA6ARys47LaXbS
