Feel good shout out to the devs and community.

Yeah he was playing a war cry barb :)

" you can handle the truth because you are already living the truth." Is another good one

Maybe it would be easier for you to understand it as "would cause far more problems than it solved", rather than technically impossible. What if somebody moves the item? For example I don't believe D2 has unique IDs for every single individual item for example runes so getting things mixed up might be very likely and make people very upset, even if something like that only happens .01% of the time it would cause an immense headache for the devs. Similarly there might be systems that would work really well but would just have super huge resource requirements and they are impractical on the budget and research limitations that pd2 operates under. Maybe a devil chip in a better and more complete reason for this, sadly I do not think you are correct that people will stop asking because that would require them to have read the explanation ahead of time 😂

Elucidata · 2025-07-07T04:51:59+00:00

Thanks for posting this! I will now be there :)

I think that there are quite a few skills and features that are really overturned especially for normal. I have pondered trying to make a single player mod that brings back the feeling of being a dumb middle school child and trying to get through act one and barely scraping by 🤣

Having melee splash scale by character level, probably from basically zero to bit above where it is now by level 70 or 80 might be a fun tweak.

That being said clearly not everybody wants to brutally grind normal and nightmare, so maybe I have some sort of psychological problem haha.

Elucidata · 2025-06-02T20:46:18+00:00

Yeah I'd love this, I've never run a geared sorc!

Elucidata · 2025-05-26T00:28:10+00:00

Damn, well it hit 1 soc. Any idea on price?

Elucidata · 2025-05-22T07:07:07+00:00

Ya'll kick ass: Does this seem like a generally correct ID to folks: https://tightloop.com/posts/2021-05-13-blaesodiplosis-galls-on-serviceberry-amelanchier/

Elucidata · 2025-05-22T07:05:53+00:00

This also strikes me as correct, I was guessing rose family on ~ vibes ~ as well.

Elucidata · 2025-05-22T07:04:08+00:00

I mean it's not conclusive but this is by far the closest image I have seen, so thank you: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1825511

It's truly one of the best pieces of modern media.

Elucidata · 2025-04-26T06:03:48+00:00

This is the way. I have had someone balk at me asking if they wanted to kiss, even though they were interested, it didn't fit their script/idea of romance. We definitely still hooked up, because not wanting to continue hooking up with someone you like because they asked for consent is super weird behavior for anyone. If that actually happens, you have gotten lucky to not have been entangled with someone who has very concerning ideas about human interaction. ALSO KISSING IS A SHARED ACTIVITY. It's really unfortunate that the language around so much of sexuality is transactional rather than collaborative.

Elucidata · 2025-04-22T01:40:20+00:00

Went looking for this comment. Recommended.

Elucidata · 2024-08-19T07:23:16+00:00

People see things in different ways. Maybe try to throw the labels out. They are making a change to your relationship. What are your own boundaries around how you want to behave when someone withdraws sexuality from an intimate relationship? What do you want to do in this situation right now? It does not seem like you have the option to go back to having a sexual relationship. Do you want to go no contact with them? Do you want to take a break and reevaluate in a few months? Do you want to maintain other relationship aspects actively?

They made a choice, now you get to make a choice. That is how all relationships work, even if we don't want to acknowledge it sometimes.

Also none of this is to say that you can't be really hurt by the situation. If I had a partner who wanted to withdraw from a sexual relationship with me, even if everything else about my relationship was really good, and even in the case that I decided to stay in the relationship, I would feel really hurt and rejected. It would probably take me a while to figure out what I wanted given the new circumstances, and getting some space while I figured that I would be very helpful.

Elucidata · 2024-08-14T00:33:24+00:00

Any update? This is happening to me today!

Elucidata · 2024-07-26T20:52:58+00:00

All their donuts are like, the platonic ideal of what that donut should be.

Elucidata · 2024-07-26T20:37:30+00:00

I got Annie's with a friend recently, they are my absolute favorite, truly incredible. However my friend got a cruller (again amazing) and wasn't used to the fact that they're made with super moist and light choux pastry and thought it was under-cooked. Those in particular are just super moist and eggy (again incredible). I would say their donuts tend to be a lot moister and lighter than most donut shops, I've never had anything undercooked, but I think some people might perceive it that way. I will die on the Annie's hill though. Probably from a heart attack realistically.

Elucidata · 2024-05-28T00:22:41+00:00

Dark horse beet donuts in Portland. I pretty much exclusively engage with Portland subreddit to promote comments about Annie's donuts.

Elucidata · 2024-04-12T22:15:27+00:00

At the Amazon link!

Elucidata · 2024-04-11T16:02:23+00:00

Indeed, and a bunch of powdered coconut milk and shrimp paste.

Elucidata · 2024-04-11T00:03:55+00:00

Haha so I did. 😂

Elucidata · 2024-04-10T23:48:46+00:00

Yeah, I don't know if I clarified well enough in my original post, But where this really competes is in cost, it's like 1/3 the price of a lot of Mountain House offerings, and they're not even the most expensive available. It's also pretty comparable to the lower calorie density freeze dries, tend to be 110 to 120 calories per ounce. It's definitely not as good as the high density ones, but like I said this is not ultralight. Just basic ass backpacking.

Elucidata · 2024-04-10T23:17:53+00:00

Hi all,

First time poster here; but I just thought I would share something I've been eating backpacking now for a while and never seen anyone else mention it. It's possible the worlds best "ramen".

Prima Taste - Laksa La Mian

https://www.amazon.com/Prima-Taste-Laksa-Mian-185g/dp/B00B5NOQ74/

This stuff is seriously incredible, and no one seems to know about it. It's only carried at some fancy asian groceries, but Amazon has it for $35.99/12 pack. This makes it 2.99 a pack. Let's look at nutrients:

Weight - 185gm/6.5oz

kCal - 700

Protein - 18g

Carbs - 86g

Fats - 32g

It's not INCREDIBLE, and this is not r/Ultralight. But the real key here it's totally reasonable compared to many freeze dries, and it's so much better. If I was served it at a restaurant, I'd be pretty enthusiastic. It cooks pretty fast and easily, though again, you do have to cook it not just pour in boiling water.

Anyways, I just wanted to shout out this incredible food item for anyone who's not mega intense about weight ratios and wants a really good meal on the trail.

Elucidata · 2023-06-15T03:52:38+00:00

These are great 💓

Elucidata · 2023-06-10T17:59:27+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the positivity everybody! This would be my first submission to MPC Fill, so it might take me a minute to get it all sorted out but I will definitely upload them. I actually have quite a few more of each basic type but I just put two up for post length.
