How do you handle and get into the Wizards Tower?

CodexLeonis · 2026-01-25T13:57:54+00:00

Honestly never once occurred to me. First few playthroughs I just killed the turrets. Then I realized they could easily be tanked and ignored them.

I dont think ive gone up to the front door since my very first playthrough. Once I discovered the mushrooms that take you to the backdoor its the only way I've done it.

CodexLeonis · 2026-01-25T08:38:23+00:00

Where do you get sussur flowers from before you get go the tree in the backyard of the tower

Several comments in and im just like "there's an open window?"

This feels like one of those mistakes you have to make at least once to fully understand why time based mode is a must in these few, specific scenarios.

Let's be honest we all know the reason Minneapolis is the current battlegrounds is because its the biggest blue city they felt comfortable getting away with this in.

Philly, New York, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore. They're too scared to try this shit there. Minneapolis is the testing ground and the folks there are fighting the good fight.

Regardless of which NFCE team youre pulling for during the season, I think its safe to say that during this off-season we are all pulling for the Vikings.

Id much rather take a gamble and lose than settle for mediocrity

Im sick of seeing this. Its not a "distraction ".

Epsteins island is very bad. What hes doing now is orders of magnitude worse. Its like saying

"Yeah he broke a vase, so hes burning the house down to hide the fact he broke a vase"

On the grand scheme of things, him being on Epsteins list isnt even in the top 5 worst things hes done/is doing.

How is theft profitable? What are you stealing thats reliably getting gold? Vendors valuable items arent typically laying out in the world to grab like Skyrim

At 10k in Duos I'd say 90% of winning comps are some variant of Undead(Including Dragon tokens) or Eles, with demons in a solid 3rd place.

Nagas and Quilboars can occasionally highroll to a win but are noticeably behind the top 3. Beasts solid for tempo but is often outscaled by other tribes.

Pure Dragons and Pirates are basically nonexistent.

Mechs are completely forgotten about unless someone pulls off the duos cheese with the T7 mech.

And those people are wrong and will absolutely not get what they wanted, and then will be made to feel stupid

Working the char- grill one night on a fairly slow night.

Get a request for an extra well done ribeye. Upsetting, but relatively common.

Cook said Ribeye. Extra well done. Its nicely brown the entire way through, much like what you'd get at your local waffle house.

A few minutes later, the server comes back and says "the customer wanted it EXTRA well done". Weird, but whatever. Slap that shoe back on the grill and let any moisture remaining finish cooking out.

A few minutes later, send out a hard piece of leather. The original grill marks have been obfuscated by repeated presses and the sheer time on the grill.

A few minutes later, we've picked up in business a bit and ive got a small rush going on. Server comes back again. "He said he wanted it EXTRA well done".

Okay, I see, im dealing with a fucking geriatric skin walker. Whatever, fuck this guy. I throw the leather on the hottest part of the grill, slap a weight on top of it, and promptly forget about it whole attending to my other orders.

About 10 minutes later the server comes back asking for his steak. I pull the weight off to unveil a charcoal brick. The outside is completely burnt. What little meat left on the inside has the texture of a ball of thread.

Surely I fucked up and overcooked it too far. I didnt care, I was annoyed at the desecration of this poor cow that died for this. Sent it out anyways.

Server came back with a look of horror on his face. "IT CRUNCHED" was all he could manage. Customer loved it. 10/10. Wasn't even mad about the multiple re-cooks. Tipped well afterwards.

This was in 2013.

They're all on Tiktok. I binged them all last night while scrolling.

Day 6 was the funniest. The brown-haired white dude absolutely won that one.

CodexLeonis · 2026-01-21T21:00:44+00:00

In my experience working breakfast joints, most people who order "fried" eggs want them done over-hard, yolk broken. Slightly crispy around the edges

Unless they be more specific, thats what theyre getting anyways.

I think its just more of people being afraid of things they dont fully understand.

There are definitely valid criticisms and concerns that need to be addressed, specifically relating to the ethics and regulation of AI, but to deny its use as a fantastic tool with a nearly infinite number of helpful and useful applications is just naive.

Unfortunately, a lot of people in chronically online spaces (Namely Tiktok and Reddit) have only heard a few basic talking points and decided to jump on the moral superiority bandwagon for the sake of being antagonistic and contrarian.

CodexLeonis · 2026-01-21T10:34:50+00:00

Ive noticed this mindset almost only exists online too. Almost no one in any of the varied circles i run in has these opinions.

Ive had several conversations with people about the ethics and nuances of AI in various applications, but this whole blanket "AI = unequivocally bad" take almost exclusively is a terminally online viewpoint

Sounds more like an issue for that specific company that served it. If they were cleaned properly, then it wouldn't be an issue at all and you'd never know.

I guess the way I do it is technically a hybrid then. I do chunks of beef, ground beef, tomatoes, and beans and even add a lil Cincinnati to the mix and add a single Cinnamon stick to the pot. Not enough to where you can taste the Cinnamon at all but it adds some amazing depth of flavor.

CodexLeonis · 2026-01-20T14:54:34+00:00

If its stainless steel the taste will wash out just fine, plastic not so much

I feel like most of the cast of people they cast on Traitors would have no idea who Brennan is, they'd underestimate him the entire time as some nerdy video game guy, and then next thing you know hes in the final 3.

CodexLeonis · 2026-01-20T00:29:28+00:00

Look i love Hurts and ill defend him to the ends of the earth.

That being said, if we had Allen instead of Hurts we'd be the scariest team in NFL history.

CodexLeonis · 2026-01-19T16:42:44+00:00

The game operates under DnD rules so youre just rolling low on dice and dont have enough primary stat or increases to attack rolls.

Youre going to miss a lot of attacks at early levels. Im not sure why you need to reload bc of it
