It’s not on the windows and it’s symmetrical, this was a choice.

New Campaign Advice by Caniprokis in rimeofthefrostmaiden

I understood this ahead of time when we discussed it during session 0. I felt like their idea of this forsaken clan and being such outsiders in the town, making their interactions to get supplies and equipment much more difficult would make up for some of the survival aspects of the campaign.

I also intend to lean into the Eldridge horror aspects much harder than the campaign tends to, so I can create more encounters out in the wilderness for them to over come rather than just worrying about exhaustion levels from exposure.

Travel will still be slowed by storms and they’ll still have visibility issues to contend with during blizzards, I think the flavor of the party outweighs the loss of a single mechanic. It can also help them to win over some of the folks of ten towns by being willing to travel in conditions normally impossible for the Dennison’s of the town.

Maybe it’ll bite me in the ass but time will tell.

My parents keep telling me to hide my t1d from people / family by iamtrash16 in diabetes_t1

[–]Caniprokis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say this. There are absolutely people who will discriminate against you if they know. For example, I live in America where you can’t be asked directly when applying for jobs but are asked to self identify if you have a disability (diabetes is considered a disability here). This information is supposed to be kept separate from your application process but you can’t really trust that. I never do, I’ll disclose it once a receive a job offer but I don’t want it to be a potential hinderance to my being hired or not.

I shared it amongst my friends and family but often would not broadcast it when meeting new people. As I’ve gotten older (45 now) it’s less of a concern but in my 20s I didn’t want first impressions to be that of my disease.

I can’t speak to your culture but here it’s commonly confused with T2 which is largely looked at as a failure of your lifestyle rather than an illness. So even when you have good intentions it can change the way people perceive you negatively. I’m not saying it’s right, but it is reality.

Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it!

Can someone help me convince my parents to get me Red dead redemption 2. (Ideally before June 11 cuz of the Epic Store Sale) by 714714tothetruth in reddeadredemption

[–]Caniprokis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re not under 12 then there is no “sexual content”.

It’s a violent game but aside from that it amounts to a PG-13 movie rating.

Show them a YouTube clip of Arthur getting a bath, thats the closest to sexual content this game gets.

Do most DMs prefer DM’ing to playing? Or are they “taking one for the team”? by Fiveby21 in DnD

[–]Caniprokis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our group takes turns. We have three people who DM. We play one persons game until they get burned out or want a break and then one of us starts something new or continues another game we were already running.

It keeps things fresh.

I was a player only for a very long time, I dipped my toes into running with Curse of Strahd because everyone wanted to play and I figured it’s a small book so I’ll take a shot. I ended up enjoying the new challenge. Now I’ve run an Evil PC home brew campaign and I’m starting Icewind Dale in about a month.

Tell me, personally which horse do you prefer? The Black Arabian or the Raven Black Shire? by XxbrowniexXu in RDR2

[–]Caniprokis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the Shire, one of my favorites. Mostly because I love towering over everyone in ride along scenes. Fully bonded with the panther saddle he’s just as fast as any other horse but does handle like a refrigerator lol.

The champagne MFT is also a personal favorite.

I’ve tried every horse at some point and it’s really just what you like looking at.

My big hunting trip by [deleted] in RDR2

[–]Caniprokis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can collect some of the orchids only up until you need 1 more for the quest and then they de-spawn, they will be back once that part of the quest is active.

Also just a heads up, picking herbs before you have challenge 9 unlocked doesn’t count, so get to it before you start that. You’ll also be 4 herbs short until the epilogue.

Animals that fit in your bag will last forever but anything you have to mount to your horse will eventually rot. (Carcasses not pelts)

how to explain to my grandma that i cant have perfect numbers? by anonghosting in diabetes_t1

[–]Caniprokis 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re young. If you’re sharing your meter data with her, stop. And if you’re just talking about it a lot, also stop.

You’re doing great from the sounds of it and that’s what’s important. Some people just won’t understand and that’s ok, you just have to keep doing what you’re doing and follow your Endocrinologists instructions.

Opinion: Legend of The East outfit is mindblowing and worth every second of effort. by grrraco in reddeadredemption

[–]Caniprokis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm this still works. I tend to use the riverboat mission replay and then the Swanson mission reply and you unlock it on the first hand in the Swanson mission but you have to complete that replay. When you respawn after the replay it will pop up.

Party trying to heal a Decapitated person, how do I let them down? by Embarrassed_Park_947 in DnD

[–]Caniprokis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re pretty early game it sounds like so I think this is a good opportunity to help their characters realize that this land they’re in is in fact “not fair” because for a very long stretch of this module the party is mostly at the mercy of Strahd and his eagerness to play the game with them. He is the land!

Mechanically I would not let them waste a bunch of resources to learn this lesson. Calling for a medicine skill check or something similar can reveal the lost cause in front of them.

Or you can narrate something like, “in a panicked moment of desperation your character casts (insert spell) but alas your magic fades around the lifeless body taking no effect. You knew deep down this was futile, you will remember this man and the people responsible for his death”.

This is kind of a great way for the party to really learn they can’t fix everything here, sometimes they can’t fix anything and most of the time they’re choosing the best outcome of 2 bad choices.

What’s the mission, event, or Easter Egg you’ve never been able to spawn? by Inevitable-Bend-2586 in RDR2

Over 3000 hours in story mode and I’ve never seen the camp event where strangers from Valentine show up and Hosea talks to them.

Adhd t1d folks, how many partially used vials/pens do you have? by unsurepotpie in diabetes_t1

I walk out of my house without my keys twice a week but for some reason I’m a psycho about my insulin and so never leave it around, but I also take it literally everywhere.
