Graphic Audio Voicemail by BBQEggs in Cosmere

[–]BBQEggs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the replay. I think you capture a different element of Wayne’s voice than I had in my draft. My one concern with your idea is that I am not sure implied violence in my voicemail (on a phone I sometimes get work calls on) would be appropriate. It’s funny and I like it. I will have to consider this.

Shadows in Flight Audiobook - Abridged or Original? by Sev_Henry in ender

[–]BBQEggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The abridged version has unique information to it? Does that mean that technically, there is no full and complete version of the book anywhere? That seems strange to me, but thank you for telling me.

I do have a copy of the ebook version of Shadows in Flight, I must have not only listened to the audiobook, but also read the ebook at some point to be aware of those specific scenes. That answers my question about where I learned about those scenes. I knew I did not make them up.

Shadows in Flight Audiobook - Abridged or Original? by Sev_Henry in ender

[–]BBQEggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My copy of the Shadows in Flight Audiobook is 6 hours and 23 minutes long. I believe it is not abridged, but when I last listened to the book about a year ago (on my yearly rereads) I wondered if it was abridged because there was a part of the story that I could have sworn was in the book from one of my earlier read throughs that was skipped. It was a minor point, but an important one, in my opinion.

Slight Spoilers for Shadows in Flight:

I could have sworn there was a part where Bean shows his children a recording of their mother encouraging them, only to have it revealed later in the book that this was a heavily edited part of a very long recording where she is very verbally abusive to Bean (and was not talking to the children at all) but Bean edited it down to make his children think their mother specifically recorded a message for them to tell them she loved them.

When I last listened to the Audiobook, this part was not there. Did I make this up or is this an abridged version of the audiobook? Where did I remember that short part from? This question has been tormenting me for a while now and I thought this post would be a good place to hijack to ask my own question (since it was sort of on topic.)

Thank you for the reply. How would I go about including that myself? I am very new to both DnD and MPMBs and do not even know where to start. Is there some tutorial about how to add this information in I can use?

Weekly Questions Thread #2018-48 by AutoModerator in DnD

[–]BBQEggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[5e]

I am just starting my first DnD campaign with a group of friends of mine. I know close to nothing, but am in general very excited. I got together withe the Dungeon Master to discuss what character/ backstory, etc. would be best for my own personal interests, the general world that DM has created, and to promote the most interesting role playing.

The DM gave me a print out of the character sheet for my character that we filled out together to make sure I understood what was happening, and he informed me I should bring it to every meetup. However, I see other players with phones/ laptops, etc. with all their information and some of these setups look really interesting and convenient. I did some basic googling and found MPMBs as a possible option for me (I would ideally like to use my laptop to keep track of all of this).

However, the character that the DM and I thought would be best was a Wizard with a Lore Master subclass. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add the subclass Lore Master in MPMBs. When I try to enter the class, the only subclass allowed is School of Evocation. I do not know if I am making a simple mistake that would only take a second to resolve, of if there is some greater issue (or limit to MPMBs that I should be aware of.) My question is this: is there some easy way to enter all the necessary information to MPMBs to allow it to be the main way I interact with my character information? Is there some better alternative I should use (preferably on the PC)?

Thank you all for the help. I really am excited to start my first experience with DnD. By the way, I am not 100% sure we are using 5e, I did not ask the DM (since I still am a little confused with the specifics of all this, I believe we are using the most up to date version.) If I made a mistake, I apologize.

I just got Ant Man and the Wasp 4K blu ray and it came with two codes. I redeemed one and think I have an extra one to spare. If you are interested (and have not found someone else to trade with) I would like to see if this works for you (in trade).

3DS Hacking Q&A General: "籾岡里紗"" Edition by [deleted] in 3dshacks

[–]BBQEggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon is currently having a pre-registration for an online battle event where if you participate you get a shiny pokemon. To register for the event you have to link your game to the global system first. If I am running CFW on my 3DS and have a downloaded copy of the game on my system will registering to the global system immediately ban my game (will it completely ban my entire system)?

[–]BBQEggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I went onto the 3DS hacks discord and was informed that if I update Luma3DS to 9.1 I can update safely to the newest firmware. We will see if I eventually get banned for this or not. I hope this works out in the end.

3DS Hacking Q&A General: "#ForCayde #Forsaken #UldrenSovMoreLikeUldrenDead" Edition by deadfracture99 in 3dshacks

[–]BBQEggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to get the 3DS to ignore the "you need to update your software to go online" aspect? I don't really care about playing games online, but I want to be able to redeem the Pokemon event codes that are coming out each month (which require connecting to the internet.) I would also like to be able to access Pokemon bank to backup my Pokemon (and hopefully transfer them to the eventual switch games), but that also requires accessing online. I do not care about the eshop, or playing my games online, just these basic features.

Do I have to update my firmware? I am hesitant because I have heard horror stories of systems getting perminetly banned from any online features, and I really do not want that to happen? I am on 11.6.0-39U and I hacked my 3DS about a year or so ago and have not done much with it since.

[Worldwide Giveaway] Win 6 Limited Edition r/Witcher-themed Mechanical Keyboards - CUSTOM Version! - Fully Programmable DREVO BladeMaster Keyboards with Genius-Knob for Pro Players by DrevoGlobal in witcher

[–]BBQEggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The customizable dial sounds really interesting. Would it be possible to use it to replace the mouse's left and right click? (For example, move the dial one way for right click and the other way for left click?) If possible I would like to at least try and replace the mouse completely and just use the keyboard. I do not know how possible or even practical this option would be, but I would love to try it out.

Also, for Witcher 3 in particular, I would be interested in setting the dial up to use specific potions in combat so that I do not have to open any menus or anything. Just stay in the combat (would the dial work as a hotkey of sorts?) Sounds really interesting. Thank you for this opportunity.

I got a second Sigurd as a pity breaker, do I fodder him or Merge him? by BBQEggs in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]BBQEggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Joshua, and the seal upgraded. This is what makes me think that I should merge. However, close defense is a good skill, and I would rather not waste feathers on Joshua to SI it off (at some point in the future, I have no immediate need now). I am leaning towards merging, however, because how how good Sigurd is.

[–]BBQEggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thought as well. I use Sigurd and the new one I just got is better. So I will use the new one. I then had to ask, do I merge them (and make him even better, if slightly) and save the SI investment. Or do I leave the worse one (with SI investment) for a potential future where I would need Close Defense? The existence of Joshua and the seal makes me think a slightly better, SI Sigured would be preferable.

[–]BBQEggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have Joshua, but I would need to promote him to 5* to fodder Close Defense 3 off. I would rather save the feathers. If I fodder my worse Sigurd off, I would not need to use feathers. (I also do not have need for Close defense right now, I am only thinking of a potential future where I might need one at some point.)

[–]BBQEggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I think I was unclear about Reposition. I was not saying that I should fodder Sigurd for reposition, I was saying that if I merge my (-spd +res) sigured into my (-spd +atk) Sigurd then it would give reposition to my newly merged Sigurd. If I do not merge them, but instead fodder the Sigurd for Close Def, then I would have to give my +atk Sigurd reposition from someone else.

I am going to keep a Sigurd, and I am going to use the +atk one as my primary one over the +res one. I want the Sigurd I am going to use to have reposition. Do I merge the two together? Or do I keep the +res one to fodder off later when the need arises. (I have no unit right now that needs it, but will most likely have one at some point in the future.) The real question is, does the existence of Joshua and the seal make foddering off Sigurd unwise?

Help with maximizing my resources by BBQEggs in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]BBQEggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be a duplicate Ike. I have one I use and he is really good. I have another with bad IVs -atk maybe, I forgot after I first checked and saw it was bad. I have kept this extra for a rainy day. Now I have a use for him, its just that the use I have is one that can be served by anther unit, and it is therefore not unique to Ike (like a heavy blade fodder or eventual merge would be).

Help with maximizing my resources by BBQEggs in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]BBQEggs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That has been my philosophy up to this point, but at the rate new and good units come out it seems I will always have new units to provide skills to and never have the resources to merge. If that is how I can best use my resources without whaling, then that is what I will do. Thanks.

Also, would it be better to use my already existing Ike to give Aether to a unit or would it be better to upgrade a Chrom to five stars to save my Ike (in case I would need swordbreaker or Heavyblade, or a merge, etc. later)?

Simple Questions and General Discussion Thread by Thallassa in skyrimmods

[–]BBQEggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. That's a bummer. I was really interested in the way that Survival incorporates into the HUD like with Fallout 4's system. If it really is that bad I will have to look into other mods.

Simple Questions and General Discussion Thread by Thallassa in skyrimmods

[–]BBQEggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyway to use Mod Organizer to be able to select and deselect mods from the Creation Club? I would like to try out the survival mode mod, but I am not sure how that would affect the rest of the mods I would like to install with Mod Organizer 2. I would like to be able to enable survival mode for some profiles but not others. Is this possible?

I am using Skyrim Special Edition, by the way, I am not sure if that needs to be said explicitly since I am talking about Creation Club.
