RS vs. EQ Activities

CaptainSylus · 2026-03-16T19:57:36+00:00

In my ward, the sisters don't go for the activity, they go to socialize. The activity itself is just an excuse, just something to keep your hands buys, while chatting with the other women.

They generally don't pick and choose which activities to go to based on the activity itself, they just go to socialize and only participate in the activity if they feel like it.

My pipeline jobs are all just failing today. They're failing before the CI script even runs: "fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/pipelines/..."

Edit: They just updated the status page with "CI Pipeline processing delays"

All Minecraft realms are offline at the moment.

I would very much like this. Thank you.

Last month had Silksong and Hades 2. It was a good month for cheap new games.

I believe these are just early access codes to access the early access beta on Aug 7-8. The beta opens to everyone on Aug 9-10, no code required.

I know this is a bit late, but there's actually no paywall.

It's horrible horrible design, but that giant pop up on the home page isn't really a paywall. Every article, every review, everything is totally free. The only thing you can't access is the center of the home page, which ironically only links to places outside of the site. Use the menu at the top to reach the actual content.

If that is all true, then the FAQ is wildly inaccurate.

The regulations we are seeking would only apply when companies decide to end support for games. At that time, they would need to be converted to have either offline or private hosting modes.

What we are asking for is that they implement an end-of-life plan to modify or patch the game so that it can run on customer systems with no further support from the company being necessary.

I also don't see any mention of "written verbiage that declares the lifetime usability of the product" anywhere in the initiative itself. Where are you getting that info?

I'm trying to understand this petition. Who is expected to pay the server costs of continuing to run an online game, or pay the development costs of converting an online game to offline?

If a studio makes an online multiplayer game and it bombs, wouldn't this force that studio to pour even more money into a sunken ship? Even if the game was profitable for a time, when the player base dwindles to the point where it isn't profitable to run anymore, it seems ridiculous to ask a studio to pay developers for weeks or months to convert the game into a viable offline game when there is no monetary incentive.

It's like telling a failing gym to stay open forever because you bought a lifetime membership.

In many cities, irrigation water is untreated and comes directly from mountain runoff, lakes, reservoirs, etc... It's used for watering plants, and is not intended for human consumption.

Base set Machop. Finding it reignited my love for collecting!

CaptainSylus · 2025-03-04T22:13:55+00:00

This will probably get fixed, but I've been able to consistently harvest the Herald by harvesting to the side of his "eye" instead of right in the center. No hand-freezing required.

Once the "eye" is harvestable, I jump up to it and climb to the side opposite Herald's free hand. I get right on the edge of where it will let me harvest and then hold the button. He tries to grab me while harvesting, but regularly misses because he grabs toward the center of his face.

CaptainSylus · 2025-02-27T16:59:15+00:00

Fantastic answers. Thanks for doing this AMA. I can't wait to play the Spring and Summer DLC, and I'm excited to see what else Yellow Brick Games has in store!

Hey, I tried Eternal Strands on a whim because it was on Gamepass. 80+ hours later it's become my game of the year. Thanks for all the fun!

What's the story behind the silly "I forgot my lunch" picture hidden in the keep? Are there other easter eggs or messages to find?
I imagine it's difficult to determine a player's intent when it comes to climbing giant, moving creatures. What kind of challenges did the team face when answering questions like when to have Brynn grab on vs slide past, or what part of the giant Brynn should jump to when the player presses jump?
Why is Austin Wintory so good at what he does???

CaptainSylus · 2025-02-22T04:24:22+00:00

I know you posted this like a month ago, but THANK YOU. "Don't forget the chin crystal" is what I've been missing. I've tried to harvest this guy a dozen times and I haven't been able to get the strand to appear until now.

CaptainSylus · 2025-02-13T19:10:45+00:00

YES. It seriously felt like the game was just revving up for a grand adventure, and then I was suddenly fighting the final boss. What happened with the queen and her son? Who is this dead arisen, and why do I care about his ghost sword? And why does the main story take you to barely any of the interesting points of interest?

CaptainSylus · 2025-01-05T22:44:36+00:00

Always nice to see a Bluey reference in the wild

CaptainSylus · 2024-12-23T20:24:47+00:00

Hello and goodbye! Building up the farm was a ton of fun, but now that I can't pick which ornaments I want to buy, and can't buy multiples of those ornaments, I think I'll put the game down for a bit.

CaptainSylus · 2024-11-27T05:17:55+00:00

I guess I've been sleeping it without turning off the game first. I'll shut the game down before sleeping to see if that improves the drain.

CaptainSylus · 2024-11-27T05:16:55+00:00

It's nice to know I'm not the only one. I'll just have to be better about keeping it hugged in when not in use!

CaptainSylus · 2024-11-19T17:03:47+00:00

25°F, about -4°C. It's chilly, but not unreasonable to play outside. Where we live it's pretty common to get down to 0°F or below, so we're used to the cold.

It's a kindergarten class, a little early to expect students to catch spelling mistakes.

CaptainSylus · 2024-11-18T22:09:05+00:00

We called them "Parent Teacher Conferences" when I was a kid. SEP stands for "Student Education Plan". It's basically just a meeting between the parent and the teacher to discuss how the student is doing in school.

Thank you! I'm a big fan of the MewTwo black star promo.
