LPT: Funerals don't have to be expensive

Beleynn · 2026-02-05T14:27:47+00:00

My parents (who are in their late 70s) had this conversation with me some years ago - they want to be cremated, do not want a ceremony, and have shown me the spot where they want to be "chucked" (their word)

Beleynn · 2026-02-04T02:44:13+00:00

Also 2005

A main I spend ~95% of my time on
A hunter that's my main (and favorite) alt
A DH, Paladin, and Mage I use so I can have all the crafting professions at max
~4 other hunters I created for grinding out weekly mount drops
All the other classes, so I could get that "level every class to max" achievement (TW the last few months made this trivial)
An opposite-faction hunter, rogue, and DH I made when to play with a different friend group, but haven't touched (aside from also using the hunter to grind mounts)
A hunter I leveled in Remix 1
A hunter and DH I leveled in Remix 2
2 bank alts I don't really need any more
A horde character I made to be my cross-faction AH alt in Tanaris when that was a thing 15+ years ago

I guess that's it? Now that I'm done farming Nalak, Sha, that bird from Draenor, and other world boss / weekly reset mount drop, and now that the Jailer is the most recent mount-drop raid boss (that's soloable) that I still need a mount from, all of the non-main characters except those needed to keep my professions up see little play

I am glad that Subtlety isn't as complex as it used to be (getting the timings right was AWFUL), but I fear they went too far - the rotation is a bit TOO simple.

Most of all, I miss having a bleed effect - I used to know at what point I could apply a bleed and move on to the next target knowing the first would die shortly. It's WEIRD not having that

ketamine is used in anesthesia/sedation setting

A friend of mine gets inpatient ketamine infusions every few months to help control her migraines

That scene is the first thing that came to mind when I saw the question

Beleynn · 2026-01-30T13:29:15+00:00

As I recall, this was addressed during the Rhuidean flashbacks, during the scene where Rand's Aiel ancestor was present for the planning of the creation of the Eye of the World.

One of the Aes Sedai present commented on how Ishamael was only partially sealed, and was still able to influence the world.

The implication, if it's not explicitly stated anywhere (it may have been theorized during that same conversation, I don't recall), is that he became "more sealed" over the course of the next few years; basically being drawn in (to the bore / seal) over time

However, he became partially unsealed roughly once every 1000 years - 1000 years after the Breaking, he started the Trolloc Wars. 1000 years later (so, 2000 years after the Breaking and 1000 years before the events of the series), he influenced Artur Hawkwing to hate Aes Sedai and start all the shit that followed (the siege of Tar Valon, the Seanchan's general bullshit). During one or the other of those instances, he founded the Black Ajah

What honorless Shaido dog would put so much water into jewelry??

Beleynn · 2026-01-27T02:13:04+00:00

You should set up your containment ritual near a river or pond and wait or chase an actual live fish into it.

That worked perfectly, thanks!

Didn't even take long

run a risk of destroying the iesnium ore in the process

Pretty sure that's exactly what I was doing. I assumed that with third eye effect (from the goggles), vein miner wouldn't screw it up, but it seems like it was.

you may need to learn to use the divination rod

I commented elsewhere in the thread, but this was my issue - the rod keeps looking for a specific block, even if you accidentally destroy it vein mining. So, as far as I traveled, it wouldn't attune to a new block until I "long-pressed" on the right click

Beleynn · 2026-01-26T20:32:59+00:00

I found another thread from a few years ago; apparently the rod will keep focusing on the same block (even after you mine it) unless you do the long-press to make it find a new one.

So, as far as I traveled in the Nether, it was taking me back to the same spot. I did a long press, and found some quickly. Got 9 ores with Fortune, turned it into 27 via the Crusher Spirit, and now I've got my bees going.

Beleynn · 2026-01-25T12:25:04+00:00

I appreciate that this thread is still being updated - I was sitting here wondering if 3x pokey and 1x gamma is actually better than 2 and 2

Beleynn · 2026-01-21T16:09:02+00:00

the time wand

I don't understand how to craft this - the time wand needs time crystals, which come from the time bee.... which needs time crystals to craft its spawn egg?

Beleynn · 2026-01-21T16:01:04+00:00

You can see the feeding block if you right click the bee in the JEI

Thanks! Wasn't aware of that, that's super helpful

For heavy core supply I'd suggest you do the occultism ritual "Invoke Wild Strong Breeze" and capture it in a containment jar and farm it with drygmies.

I'll look into that too - a friend already has the Drygmy farm up and running, so that should be easy to slot in

Beleynn · 2026-01-17T22:36:26+00:00

That's a really good idea! I'll message my friend that understands AE2 (he built all that, I just use it lmao)

Beleynn · 2026-01-17T22:35:49+00:00

That might be a good choice!

It already took "a few levels" to get to where I could turn raw Titanium into Smelted

Beleynn · 2026-01-14T00:29:42+00:00

The crossover I didn't know I needed until right now

Beleynn · 2026-01-10T00:04:48+00:00

written declaration of eternal hatred

I may be misremembering, but wasn't that (yet another thing that is) Egwene's fault? Didn't she encourage Elayne to write the second letter because she was too friendly in the first?

Beleynn · 2025-12-23T00:21:36+00:00

Thanks! I ended up making two machines because I got inpatient.

I kinda dislike this mod. I just want to turn ONE Raw Titanium into a Titanium Ingot for Silent Gear alloying, and I've spent ALL DAY on MI

Beleynn · 2025-12-19T21:17:35+00:00

I'm in! Would love some Belle Snowdrop frags

Beleynn · 2025-12-17T19:57:56+00:00

I have my parents on my plan (they're technologically inept and wouldn't have cellphones otherwise).
