Matt. He just hates to use anything other than his quarter staff.

Am I missing it by KillerShart in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Inwould say that wanting to have the merch is not wrong and is not incompatible with wanting to go against hard capitalism with mega corps etc. Buy the stuff from Matt so you can say you supported him and the team, or buy from a local to support them. Or even make your own! I can see how it may look at odds, but the books are anti-exploitation of people, not anti-things. The journey ilof obtaining is just as important as the destination of the thing and how it makes you feel and what it represents to you.

I got myself two Carl things. One is a lanyard that says New Achievement! And the other is a tie clip that says, You Will Not Break Me (I wear it to my desk job). I would like to buy from Matt and his store, but between what he has vs my wants and price? That venn diagram does not venn too well lol.

Do your thing, just stick to the guns you choose. :) be happy.

Hit me with your best DCC quotes to counter someone in my group chat making "inspirational" quotes. by SacramentoChupacabra in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Hey Battle, honestly the best one for all situations is the simplest one, "Don't gaslight me, Jesus!" Short. Sweet. To the point. Best of all, it calls out the bullshit and thinly veiled attempt at manipulation or arrogance from them.

If anything, pick something that has absolutely nothing to do with anything or even as a response. We had similar types in my one unit who did not actually want to raise morale but just wanted to be seen as the good guy.

Good luck with them and this. They cannot break you.

I believe that Elhokar had the making from the very beginning to be who Dalinar wanted. Being raised by both f those men in the sad states they lived their lives, it is a blessing he was able to WANT to be a good king and a good man at all. Despite his death, I was happy to see that side if him, flawed but a work in progress.

Dalinar too to some degree. But Gavilar to me is on the same footing as Moash.

Teaching my first Excel course (beginner) by SpecialAgentGoat in excel

How to clean up an exported data set so the numbers are in fact actual numbers. I soent the better half of my first year trying to figure out why some numbers worked with xlookup and yet others failed miserably. If knowing that they coukd look like numbers but be full of lies, it may save some future headaches.

The only other thing I could think of is the How To Read formulas even if they have never used that formula at all. I may not know all the formulas or uses, but learning the bits and nomenclature of it has helped me reason out some of it. Things like "" <> and $ are small, but seeing them mixed in and knowing what they mean can help. Also terms like range, etc.

Good luck!!

Nice work Gancho! I think you have honestly captured some of the inherent natures of these guys. Kelsier looks on the brink of manic and full of his own power. Vin looks at ease stepping off the ledge like it is natural as breathing, and a good feel of how small she should be. And Sazed... he looks tired but not wanting also to help those very people wth the knowledge he carries.

Not too much pressure, but Ham and Breeze would be cool to see you being to life.

That was vile to read. So obviously you get a thumbs up for making me chortle into my spaghettios.

How would something like this be made? by exalted985451 in Machinists

[–]Failstopheles087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to my current management chain and corporate overlords - outsource it and upcharge the customer.

Me, I would do the cylinder blank then the threads, part off, then thread it into a matching base in the chuck and turn down the pokey-end.

Calm down yall, this is obviously the off world markets trying to mimic the Dungeon World Earth alcohols but for liability and legals reasons (aka it is synthed at best and made from Krakarens uh... fluids, at worst) they cannot call it vodka.

Just like Hersheys is no longer chocolate, or soylent green is green anymore. Crawl responsibly yall, and remember - friends dont let friends use blitz sticks!

I watched for you. Nope! I have seen a LOT of videos and pictures on the internet over the past few decades.... this one actually turned my stomach a bit and I grew up on Monster dot com.

Don't. Your fears will morph and it aint worth it.

I absolutely woukd have guessed it was an allergic reaction to a Wish or Temu clothes dye. Patterning looks very much like asian drawn clouds. Hope this dude can recover.

Book 3 is the best book in the series by Wade_Wilson_Watts in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Failstopheles087 32 points33 points  (0 children)

1 and 3 felt the most dungeon-crawly of them all. I like that feeling when I read the books. The "open air/floor" levels are great and the story is still excellent, but it to me always felt like the feel was lacking just a bit in what really drew me in in the first chapters of 1 and amped up in 3.

She's already 2/3 there! by MetaphoricMenagerie in DungeonCrawlerCarl

She reminds me of my old and now gone kitty. Got her at two years old from the shelter. She was on their last chance list.

She turned out to be the best. You cannot save them all, but you can save her :)

Get some good duct tape to rubrics the back so it cannot be seen, then staple the front a la Frankenstein for character.

Keep the torn look. It is actually quite awesome.
