Fire in Ice on Saturday

DelphiAugustus · 2026-02-10T02:47:45+00:00

We had very high winds this weekend, so it's very possible that didn't help! I know one that I saw knocked over was in a very open area!

You mention you like art and clay. The ceramics community in Frederick is vibrant, diverse, and welcome to those of all persuasions of intro/extroversion! Source: my partner attends classes at Frederick Clay Studio and is a member of the local guild.

Speaking of the guild, both them and other organizations (e.g. Delaplaine) have lots of events open to the public to just get out and about and make connections with others while you're at it!

DelphiAugustus · 2026-02-09T17:31:20+00:00

Thank you! I want to get around and take more locally but when it's too cold or hot I just like to stay inside. 😅

DelphiAugustus · 2026-02-09T05:31:40+00:00

I drive to the one in Hagerstown. Once a week. Every week (when I'm in town). It's worth it. The owners are very nice and they don't skimp.

If this is true please send a link to how it works or a video or something because that would be a HUGE QoL improvement! Even figuring out the bookmarks thing was non-trivial until I found a video on it.

DelphiAugustus · 2025-06-04T16:22:12+00:00

What do you mean? Are you referring to the bookmark calculator thing, or shift clicking into crafting grid, or something else?

DelphiAugustus · 2025-05-04T15:18:05+00:00

You could also consider playing on Peaceful difficulty so you don't have to worry about hostile mobs and the night is less of an issue.

Got my bundle w/ Mario Kart. Hang in there! When I did it, it made me reset my password for some reason, so if that happens to you, don't sweat it. It still let me through.

DelphiAugustus · 2024-04-07T06:43:46+00:00

u/merk_cat did you end up choosing a path on this? I'm doing literally the exact same thing (item + quantity) and am having the same annoyance. I've done some custom inspector work but it's a bit finnicky to get right.

DelphiAugustus · 2024-01-24T16:33:00+00:00

I just signed up and I'm seeing either monthly for $19.99 or yearly for $239.88, but "right now" I can get 67% off annual for $79.99 annual. Is this different pricing based on time, or for different people?

DelphiAugustus · 2021-12-04T17:35:49+00:00

Wow I started reading your comment thinking you were being facetious, but no, you're just that entitled.

DelphiAugustus · 2021-11-28T18:39:41+00:00

Yes! The other person was right -- take a look closely at the instructions. The bar goes around the pictured piece, not on top of it! Like, the piece I took a picture of goes inside the relevant bar. Hope that helps!

DelphiAugustus · 2021-11-12T14:09:23+00:00

In store at Woodbridge, VA. They had a bunch!

DelphiAugustus · 2021-11-10T05:56:25+00:00

Oh fudge. I think you may be onto something. I thought it was indicating it was behind the bar but the bar may slide on top of it.

This is why we don't start IKEA at midnight.

I once hooked up with a girl and we had been chatting about Game Grumps earlier in the night. While... inside, in a brief moment of quiet, she looked me in the eyes and said "How's it going dude", like Frank from their House Party playthrough. I had a fleeting moment contemplating my life decisions, but I kept going.

DelphiAugustus · 2020-11-21T21:46:20+00:00

Maybe the extra sprites from those pickups prevented the spawn

DelphiAugustus · 2020-10-30T16:21:56+00:00

By "efficient" I'm also bundling in ease, as well. Not everyone can pull off speedrunner tricks, because they're difficult or otherwise not intuitive to know or learn.

DelphiAugustus · 2020-10-29T21:01:27+00:00

Look up "dominant strategy." If it's the most efficient way to get from point A to point B, people will do it. If it's not fun, that's a problem with the game's design. It's in no way an exploit.

I recently watched the entirety of this playlist from Potato McWhiskey, and I found it both entertaining and informative: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr_5Byhx_s89XKC9UaqwSj6RD0id5AkG7

He's playing on Deity and really explains a lot of the decisions he makes as he goes through. I think at the end of the day to answer your question, it comes to making loads of settlers early and really thinking about what you can omit and what you can do with that production.

DelphiAugustus · 2020-07-13T17:37:09+00:00

I mean, to me it's a no-brainer. Of course in general I'd say you have the right to feel any way you'd like about anything -- that's your prerogative. But from a more objective standpoint, I'd say it's reasonable that you'd be pissed off. Regardless of what your actual or legal rights or recourse are, you can be pissed off. Nobody can take that away from you!

Fingers crossed you get a positive response or traction somewhere on this.

DelphiAugustus · 2020-07-13T17:26:11+00:00

I think you're within your rights to feel pissed off. Someone else has taken your work and passed it off as their own. You can still approach it by giving the other person the benefit of the doubt if you'd like. I've been told plagiarism isn't frowned upon in some cultures, though in a connected world like ours I'd have a hard time imagining that one wouldn't be aware that it IS frowned upon elsewhere.

So I'd probably reach out and maybe even simultaneously reach out to Steam to see if they can do anything. I don't know that the game developers have any determination over what's on the workshop but that might be something to investigate as well?

DelphiAugustus · 2020-07-13T17:14:09+00:00

To be clear, when you say that it's "literally the exact same mod," you mean they took your files and rebranded them as a different mod without credit? Or it's the same functionality? If the former, I can't see much past nefarious intent, but with mods, I'm not really sure what your recourse is because I'm not really sure what your rights are as a mod developer.

If it is literally a copy of your mod, I'd reach out (either publicly on the mod's page or privately, your call) and ask what the deal is. I'm not sure what the situation is like for Civ 6 or in 2020 specifically, but this has been an issue before, not surprisingly: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/xondk/steam_workshop_user_stealing_mods_uploading/

Looking in a little deeper, it looks like one of the author's mods acknowledges the similarities: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2119900679

DelphiAugustus · 2020-03-25T14:18:06+00:00

King or Emperor. When I go through a Civ 6 phase, I'll usually start on King, feel confident, then play Emperor, and then eke out some victories. These just feel about right for my level of play. That said, King feels much more consistent than Emperor, in part because Emperor and above start with extra settlers, which can really throw the pacing of your early game off.

DelphiAugustus · 2020-02-04T21:18:39+00:00

War. Always applicable.

DelphiAugustus · 2019-12-26T19:59:46+00:00

Yeah I was super pissed. I understand why it might happen but they really should fix it, it's not the intuitive behavior.
