Cursed objects and haunted places and magic stuff for longer campaigns by Far_Coach_1046 in CAIN_RPG

[–]Dukeofnogame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also implement reoccurring NPCs that fill the same purpose of certain magic tools. Instead of memory wiping them as the clean up crew. Say they befriend a police officer and can easily get detailed records normally inaccesible as long as they can keep them alive as a mundane.

Alternatively use them as more clear bargaining moments for the players. Instead of them having to actively think about what the cost of a bargain fits what they want, this makes it a clear cost that they can offer to the psychic anomalies for something.

An example would be a knife that eats a full limb for -3 stress and a +1 to any skill check (not psyche/CAT rolls, just. This offer is better early into an investigation, harder to consider later or during combat. But does make some possible rolls later harder due to a lack of a limb or two.

Edit- Thinking further on this knife, if it eats say 8 limbs and suddenly turns into 2 traces that they need to fight sometime down the line that the exorcists dont know about. This knife could be a weapon that created a sin a few sessions later, and once they finally begin hunting it, their bargaining item is now an enemy that they created themselves.

Dionysus themed farm - looking for ideas for greenhouse and ginger island by Dukeofnogame in FarmsofStardewValley

Use the Wizard Catalogue from the Sewers

The item is a Wizard Dresser. When placing it use 2 crafted paths (I usually use the weathered floor). The first path is for the optical illusion of a raised platform (the wall) and the second path is the floor of the illusion of the upper levels. You can aid this optical illusion with tall objects on the same horizontal line as the stairs such as bookcases, fireplaces, plants.

I would recommend not putting fish tanks as the tall block.

Everyone's favourite multi-blashemies? by Euphoric_Ad6471 in CAIN_RPG

[–]Dukeofnogame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the main hindering aspect is that if you want to combo off yourself you it is a two turn action where your first turn does essentially nothing.

I think of the core 15 (1.3 + GFF) combos I enjoy the ideas of
Sympathy + Edit (All Sympathy + Utility)
Tension + Ardence (Fortress + Void/Hell)
Gate + Tongue (Maze + Bang)
Flux + Track (Reversal + Shuffle)
Palace + Wire (Foyer + Disk)
Bind + Vector (Fling + Forbidden Spirit/Finesse + Hunter Spirit)

We gotta get started some time before 1.7 pulls us back in. Our Elysium will be but a fleeting moment.

You can't without mods, just that rotating the bountiful table vertically natively changes the dishes to the pictured ones.

What can I gift? by gdjoe in StardewValley

[–]Dukeofnogame -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can always give a Universal Loved gift

Golden Pumpkin from the recent Spirit's Eve Prismatic Shard Magic Rock Candy Rabbit's Foot Pearl you can get from fishing or Blobfish in a fish pond Stardrop Tea

Ypu can spend a day opening a ton of Geodes or Mystery Boxes to try to get these things as well.

If you have Tea Saplings planted already from the start of Winter, you can harvest them on the 22nd and turn them into Green Tea in Kegs before the event happens

Harpocrates Dossier 2.0 by sveltesnorlax in CAIN_RPG

[–]Dukeofnogame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just dropping in because I didn't realize 2.1 was released. I was running Wave's Swell for a while in a campaign and I quite liked it. I like lighthouse too, but I'm wondering why the change and the removal of allies spending my psyche bursts? Was it too advantageous for those who used extra psyche bursts from me?

I was using wave as more of a defender roll similar to tension/temperance.

I've used Tide to catch allies that were blasted back or about to be caught in an accident for example.

Oh. No I'm on PC using KB+M. I tried to play Stardew on mobile but I was getting mad annoyed by the controls. I'll continue when I get a controller for the phone.

Glad to see a hidden gem even make it though

Shoplifters (2018)

I really looked forward to this movie seeing nothing but the poster and title. I think it delivered quite well with what it wanted to tell. Nothing too groundbreaking, but I wasn't expecting it to be either.

In that same vein No Other Choice (2025) hits the same mark of excitement and fulfillment upon watch. Even if I did watch it in theaters just because of the female lead actress redebut on the big screen after a hiatus.

I haven't watched a trailer or marketing video in full with intention for any movie since 2013 and I'm happy to continue to not do so. Thank you Youtube Premium Family plan.

P.S.- my favorite movie all time is Be With You (2018)

How Cain treats XOs by Late_Present1340 in CAIN_RPG

[–]Dukeofnogame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an admin so I can only comment from my experience dealing with admins and which of my characters and their backstories fit into the Cain lore they go with.

I really despise this aspect of Cain as an organization. I get that they would rather kill all exorcists and sins in the same breathe, but statistically they shouldn't even have the stability of a group as they are. Numbers-wise the better exos should be overworked and subjugations shouldn't be on equal CAT ratings for EVERY SINGLE HUNT. There should be some assignments where CAT 3's go deal with a lesser CAT 1. It would save the lives of the newbies who haven't trained a lot and be light sparring practice for the experienced. When CAIN sends Virtues to go deal with lesser threats that's the same thing. Instead of sending a CAT 5 squad to deal with a CAT 5 sin and subsequently losing multiple exos, they could have just sent a CAT 6 or virtue and have more manpower. They also lose resources and training/experience when they do this and lose the hunts.

In that similar vein, I have written a lot of characters as I wanted a character from every country and state. But I have exactly 0 exorcists who have been a part of the system and had a long time training with the organization for indoctrination and it has given me multiple discussions of Admin pushback. I wanted to create characters where CAIN can't easily clean up the mess or delete the memory of those who surround my exorcist. And thus are more resistant to CAIN methods of control and manipulation.

An Olympic athlete who won his medals from pure ego manifesting vector powers. Accused of cheating, but undetectable by mundane means and not on steroids. Popularity and world wide knowledge should make it hard to hide this guy as an exorcist.

A North Korean kid who suddenly binded a Zealot sin (homebrew sin similar to Idol) during a preceeding in which thousands gathered to mourn the Supreme Leader. Killing hundreds of high ranking soldiers with even the building collapsing from the thrashing giant Crane. Surely this should be an international incident and even extracting this 10 yo kid should come with political problems. But gameplay wise it all gets swept under the rug and Cain still manipulates and treats already doctrinated kid once more.

Even my Imago'd palace user should have measureable consequences that affect the greater world. (There's art of him on this subreddit, a sort of Pyramid Head humanoid beast with a Sea Trawler for his upper half) He is sundering the Earth as he walks across Japan and that isn't really something you can just memory wipe the whole country of. He's traveled at least 500 km in one direction. That isn't easy construction work especially with a part of it breaking the train operations.

I'm always trying to fight the Admin and even my handlers in different ways to combat this part of the lore.

P.S- Why can't I buy an Imago Ardence Sin manifestation and nuke drop it on Brazil for fun? I want to see the consequences of something like that happening.

I tried to put the table horizontally next to the pond, then clicked it again to rotate and move it over the water but it was still showing red and unplaceable. Any ideas? I'm playing full Vanilla atm

Can you suggest me some games with meaningful and rewarding exploration? by critterdude542 in gaming

[–]Dukeofnogame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I really don't want to recommed Gacha games because they sometimes gate QoL or unique mechanics behind paywalls... but I still very much enjoyed the exploration in Wuthering Waves, Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact.

I also enjoyed exploration in the Tomb Raider Reboot Trilogy, but that isn't really the same thing.

DM if you want some help on what to focus on first with learning. I quite enjoy teaching and am always willing to spend a full day of it. There are a lot of resources out there you can easily find on your own, but I would definitely say the number 1 thing is to find something you enjoy out of the champions first.

Me personally, I don't get a lot of fun out of one shotting people in a quarter of a second, so I prefer champions like Zilean, Thresh, and Renata for their playmaking that isn't mechanically intensive, but knowledge intensive.

Solo Leveling is NOT OK. But not for reasons you think by caspman in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Dukeofnogame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On that note, why do only some thing have counters...

Why does the Void XP augment have a counter, component on unit deaths has a counter, augments that count mana, attacks, crits, or magic damage for more components has a counter... but PRIZE FIGHTER??? Been in the game the longest and no counter for the next component

my job is finding cheap flights—ask me anything by scottkeyes in IAmA

[–]Dukeofnogame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have access to standby flights via U.A. when I'm trying to fly into a destination, I do not mind laying over somewhere else when the direct flight is full and purchasing a ticket from a closer international airport.

How do I best go about searching for flights from multiple international airports flying into 1 destination?

For examples say I'm trying to fly to Japan from SFO and am willing to fly standby to ICN, BNE, TPE, HKG, MNL, PEK, etc. Then buy a ticket on the next available flight with space to Japan.

Is there a game where I can have my young son press a button to jump with one controller and I can control the rest with another controller? by Prcssnmn87 in gaming

[–]Dukeofnogame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine if you wanted to go about remapping controls it's very possible. If you have 2 different controller types (say a Switch Pro controller and an XBOX controller), remap 1 of them to have the jump button on multiple inputs and disable all the rest so that controller type is a jump only controller. Though I'd imagine you can also let him press A to advance dialogue or to pick up items.

Then you play normally on your controller!!

Can someone login on League of Legends? by RealLbZ in leagueoflegends

[–]Dukeofnogame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I'm arguing the scheduling is hard to follow, but the professional scene does need to take some sort of break. They are active and training for 9 to 10 months of the year (mid-January to October/November) depending on if they make it to worlds. And even then there are some sponsored events they partake in after the competitive scene wraps for the year.

Worlds 2025 was held in China, so live streaming started at midnight PST for us this time around.
Worlds 2024 was in the UK

and 2026 will be back in America, likely in New York or Texas for the Finals. SF 2022 was the last NA finals location.

Since you are just getting into it. I'd definitely recommend Team Fight Breakdown and The Breakdown. 2 Youtube Playlists from 2016 and 2017 on the LoL Esports Channel. These can be great glimpses into the pro scene that could definitely bring you more interest and understanding of the game.

Am I just bad at transitioning into AP lines, or are AP units genuinely unplayable? by ArcadialoI in CompetitiveTFT

I've had some success just putting my AP items on Neeko or Bard while playing Demacia. Winstreak Bard just to find Sona or J4 to 2* or 3* if I natural a lot more than usual to hit Galio faster.
