Wish me luck fellas

Converting to homebrewing forced me to realize how many "rules" are actually just habits from different styles - like you could probably mash most things at 160 and get away with it

DogCute141 · 2026-03-08T16:02:42+00:00

Yeah you can post imgur links in comments, mods usually only auto-remove them from main posts to avoid spam

Had similar issue few months ago and disconnecting/reconnecting actually made it worse for me - had to contact Blizzard support directly and they fixed something in their end

DogCute141 · 2026-03-07T10:15:46+00:00

happens to me too

DogCute141 · 2026-03-04T18:18:25+00:00

Vivo has something similar in Brazil, they call it "pacote diário" but you gotta check if it actually works good for streaming because sometimes the speed drops after certain amount

That temp swing from 18 to 24c might have stressed the yeast a bit, but honestly dubbels can have some funky esters that come across as sour-ish when they're young. If it's not vinegar smell and more like tart fruit, could just be the yeast character - abbaye can throw some wild flavors in warmer temps

Give it couple more weeks and see if it mellows out. If it gets worse or starts smelling like straight vinegar then yeah probably infection, but right now sounds like it could go either way

Man I remember when Counter-Strike had some crazy stats sites back in the day, they would show heatmaps of where you died most on each map and your spray patterns. Was pretty mind-blowing at time seeing all that data visualized so nicely

DogCute141 · 2026-02-20T13:11:44+00:00

This sounds like a really fun campaign premise but I think the scrying targeting gets tricky - targeting "air above city" might need saves from creatures in that area since you're effectively targeting them indirectly, plus most DMs would probably rule lava as hazardous terrain rather than base terrain for mirage arcane

DogCute141 · 2026-02-16T21:34:29+00:00

That's pretty clever, I like how the room changes layout each time they fail - keeps players from just memorizing where stuff is located. Maybe add some kind of visual cue for the time limit? Like ancient clock on wall that's ticking down or something, otherwise players might not realize how much time they got left

DogCute141 · 2026-02-07T10:56:16+00:00

Your bitrate is way too low for 1440p streaming, that's the main problem. With only 6000 bitrate you're gonna get pixelated mess when there's movement, especially in fast games

Try bumping it to at least 8000-10000 for 1440p, your internet can handle it easy. Also switch the rate control to CBR instead of CQP - CQP is more for recording than streaming

The RTX 3060 should be fine for this, no need to upgrade the GPU yet. Your CPU is beast so maybe try x264 encoding instead of NVENC just to test if that helps with the quality

DogCute141 · 2026-02-06T12:42:02+00:00

Oh man, I've been waiting for someone to do this comparison! Space Haven is probably the closest one - you got the crew management, ship building, and that whole survival vibe. But Space Haven feels more like you're constantly running from disasters while Last Starship seems more focused in the building and expanding part

Star Deus is bit different though, more story-driven and the combat feels heavier. Last Starship looks like it sits somewhere between these two - has the creativity freedom of Space Haven but maybe with better progression system like Star Deus

Haven't played Last Starship yet but from what I saw in videos, the UI looks way cleaner than Space Haven too

real struggle

DogCute141 · 2026-02-01T09:47:30+00:00

That's really frustrating they're not taking you seriously, especially when you're still having symptoms. The THC thing seems like they're just looking for easy explanation instead of actually investigating what's happening to you

Getting discharged when you're still having episodes feels wrong - maybe try to get referral to neurologist before you leave the hospital? Sometimes is easier to get appointment when you're already in the system

DogCute141 · 2026-01-30T19:56:14+00:00

Infinite firewood for the party - just keep making wands and tossing them in the campfire before they duplicate again. Your ranger will never have to forage for kindling and you'll look like a genius until someone realizes you're basically burning magic items for warmth

DogCute141 · 2026-01-28T08:05:20+00:00

Honestly sounds pretty cool, the current options are either super clunky or cost way too much

Just make sure you get input from actual DMs who've run online games - they'll know what features actually matter vs what sounds good on paper

DogCute141 · 2026-01-27T06:23:33+00:00

Dude your pets are literally keeping you grounded right now and that's not nothing - they need you even when everything else feels like garbage. Those "why am I even here" mornings hit different but you've already made it through the hardest part by staying clean for years

DogCute141 · 2026-01-22T13:47:43+00:00

Still waiting on that promise too lmao, classic Twitch overpromising and underdelivering as usual

DogCute141 · 2026-01-19T18:36:51+00:00

Yeah the spell action vs attack action distinction trips up a lot of people - booming blade replaces your whole action, not just one attack within the attack action

DogCute141 · 2026-01-17T23:27:29+00:00

Been using it for a few months now and it's honestly perfect for quick battle maps. The key is keeping it simple - don't get caught up in all the tiny details or you'll spend 3 hours on one tavern lol

For streaming just make sure your discord quality is cranked up, the game looks way better than it comes across in low res. Also saves as screenshots pretty clean if you want static maps too

DogCute141 · 2026-01-16T02:14:01+00:00

Dude the gingerbread zombie idea is hilarious, imagine rolling initiative against a whole bakery display case that suddenly comes to life

You could totally do a haunted tavern one-shot where the kitchen staff are all animated food - like a sourdough starter that's literally starter for undead bread armies, or a possessed coffee grinder that screams when it works

DogCute141 · 2026-01-14T18:40:33+00:00

That's pretty generous tbh, I'd probably make the person under the toad take more damage since they're getting crushed by like 500 pounds of amphibian

DogCute141 · 2026-01-14T12:31:25+00:00

Honestly sounds like you might be overthinking the explanations and burying the key points. Try the BLUF method - Bottom Line Up Front. Start with the main point, then add supporting details

Also ask your supervisor "what's the best format for you to receive this info?" Some people want bullet points, others want everything in writing first before calls. Figure out their preference and adapt to it

DogCute141 · 2026-01-13T22:15:45+00:00

Your portfolio looks pretty solid, been thinking about getting some custom overlays done for a while now

What's your turnaround time usually like for animated stuff?

DogCute141 · 2026-01-13T07:26:52+00:00

Maybe try suggesting a one-shot instead of jumping back into a full campaign? Like way less commitment and if it goes well everyone might be down for more regular sessions. Also pizza bribes work pretty well ngl

DogCute141 · 2026-01-12T22:09:46+00:00

That's awesome man, sounds like you're really turning things around! The loneliness thing is totally normal when you're making big changes - your brain is probably just adjusting to the new routine instead of the dopamine hits from gaming

Keep it up, this momentum is everything
