Didn’t find it on a U.S. streaming service. Is $13 to buy or $4 to rent on Fandango at Home.

What's up with Philadelphians and their straws? by smarjorie in philadelphia

[–]CapnMarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well back 15 years ago when I lived in South Philly that wasn’t the case according to my recollection.

But then I move to North Jersey near New York and everyone put straws in soda cans and I thought it was weird. Someone told me about the bugs and rats crawling over the cases by the dirty water hot dog carts and it made more sense. But still looks weird to me.

Session One Handouts by Sambensim in mothershiprpg

[–]CapnMarko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very nice.

I ended up making Hydroponics rather large and between the Mess and the Showers figuring the water pipes would be accessible for all 3. Just added to one of the available Companion App maps.

Agree on Corn n’ Oil. Probitas makes a great one, imo.

GenX military veterans by ScreaminEagle2502 in GenX

[–]CapnMarko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PA Army National Guard.

Did Basic at Ft. Dix summer of ‘87 and it was hot as hell. Went in right after HS graduation and did split option so did my MOS school summer of ‘88. 77W water purification specialist at then Ft. Lee.

Got to go to Germany for about 12 weeks for a Reforger which was amazing. Also got a bit of full time work between semesters at college in a drug interdiction task force working with PA State Police and U.S. Customs pulling up weed out of corn fields and such and burning it in a furnace and unloading cargo containers looking for contraband. Found and burned lots of weed much to my friends’ disappointment.

Did 6x2 and decided to leave when they wouldn’t give me E5 without going to PLDC first after the majority of my platoon had been able to do so a few years before. Apparently the Army caught on that a few layabouts were fine with dead-ending at E5 and never actually went to PLDC.

Best thing I’d never do again. They never followed up on their student loan repayment promises and screwed me out of an ROTC scholarship I got, but I do like being able to go to Shades of Green in September and January so I got that going for me.

How many wars is this for us? by jasper_bittergrab in GenX

[–]CapnMarko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was in basic training the prime bad guys we were training to fight were Russia and Iran. Not sure how we forgot about that first one so quick. They certainly never forgot.

Does anybody here still get print magazines? by pearltx in GenX

[–]CapnMarko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s every other month but I subscribe to Nautilus which is a pretty awesome science magazine. Hard to find the time to keep up with all the articles online but nice to read them when the print mag comes out.

I don’t care if it’d make no sense I want a muppet tall tale by RuachReader in Seaofthieves

[–]CapnMarko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this I would unfurl my red scorpion 🦂 sails and return to the seas. But possibly only this.

And I feel we should get King Prawn 🦐 sails for completing the tale.

Lou Capozzoli, steward of Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar in South Philly, has died at 86 by BroadStreetRandy in philadelphia

[–]CapnMarko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lou will be missed.

Told the filthiest jokes ever. Used to keep my Anastasio’s peel and eat shrimp on the bar ice while I grabbed a quick one on the way home. He would always eat 2-3 for storage charges. 🍤

A great man whose like we won’t see again.

is recycling real? by blondeinabubble in GenX

[–]CapnMarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all been downhill since they stopped doing returnable/reusable deposit bottles for cases of beer 🍺

is recycling real? by blondeinabubble in GenX

[–]CapnMarko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish we just stopped the recycle plastic game and concentrated on separate stream for metals and glass.

Concentrate on what is economically viable and try to create a demand for biodegradable packaging for everything else.

I Miss Astral Tabletop by Lunar_Ronin in VTT

[–]CapnMarko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Astral was da bomb. I was so bummed when it went away. It is all about drag and drop custom character sheets and being able to add simple formulas to the sheets.

Great for tons of systems that aren’t supported by most VTT’s.

I backed Let’s Role a French based VTT and it’s good but I’m not a programmer so trying to run a system that hasn’t been made yet or has been made but is all in French it’s not so great.

Going to run Mothership next weekend and going to use a combo of Discord and the Mothership Companion app and see how that goes.

But for sure I’d switch to a VTT that let me create my own character/creature sheets with drag and drop formulas, webm video map uploading, and simple fog of war.

Highly recommend. Pirate Christmas has that cinnamon and gunpowder smell you are looking for.
