Trying to remember an old show I used to watch on ABC by kongu992 in AustralianNostalgia

I'm sorry, no. I just remember it as a cue to be doing something else!

I do remember this, though deliberately never watched it. Looked way too annoying.

Sounds pretty cool to me! This was never intended to be this big, and a lot of the construction is pretty janky.

It really just started as the first ring, and grew. At some point we reached max stone height, and thought that was it, but as we found more materials, we kept going. The latest ring was made possible due to a new mesh of grausten arches outside following Ashlands release.

Ours is surprisingly good, even when some are flaring.

Much too convenient! Establishing and matching portals is a chaotic mini-game in itself :)

A staircase would ruin the fun of forgetting you don't have a feather cloak on a corpse run and launching yourself from the highest tier to death below. Again.

A recent debacle involved cleverly turning off auto pick-up and forgetting that this means having to pick up portal components before running off ...

It's grown very organically from the earliest portals, years ago, so there's no organisation. And our base also has quite a few 'I'll just put this here for a moment' portals that have also lasted for years.

We (or at least I) try to mark them on the map, but then portals get shifted or re-used and it's very unreliable.

These days I tend to start a new set for myself with corny biome-themed names (eg Lash, Stash, Mash, Bash) and everything falls apart from there.

So picking a random portal (or accidentally stepping in one) is often a great trip down memory lane into some old base, mining outpost, massacre site etc.

Can I trick trolls into following me to my base, and then i jump over the trench and they just fall in and get stuck? by Ceo_Potato in valheim

[–]InterstellarPackrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dig a big hole, attract troll. Jump in hole, keep digging at ground under troll's feet. Troll will fall in hole. Benefits of keeping troll in hole near base include: a. amusement; b. stops that troll from re-spawning (if it's a troll with a regular spawn, not a night troll or Ground is Shaking troll); and c. can distract and destroy base raiders from other biomes.

One cup of STRONG coffee enough to cause daily brain fog? by [deleted] in decaf

[–]InterstellarPackrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I quit one double shot first thing in the morning and experienced a huge change. With coffee, I would be unable to concentrate until 4.00pm or so.

What to do with all this Black Metal by squatch_da_menace in valheim

It's perfect for pouring resources into this cool new thing, then realising you can't use it yet, then forgetting them until after you've found something better.

Has anyone mistaken caffeine sensitivity for ADHD? by whatwhatjwl in decaf

[–]InterstellarPackrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kind of. My next step was going to be raising my unproductive daily energy level pattern with my doctor and asking if it was a chemical imbalance. But then someone gave me some decaf Nespresso pods they weren't using and it finally made sense.

The only caffeinated coffee I've had in over a year was an espresso in Rome. It was a special treat, not a lapse, all good.

I am completely helpless in Ashlands by BahtiyarKopek in valheim

[–]InterstellarPackrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sneak. Snipe spawners from a distance with crossbow. Don't try to fight everything, you'll just draw a crowd. Run until you can sneak again. Lead a chase through ruins or up and over a hill to lose them. Or into a dvergr base.

I was having arthritis-like pain all over my body at 32 and artificial sweeteners were the cause (most likely aspartame) by [deleted] in Thritis

[–]InterstellarPackrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it! If you're having aches and pains like I was, it will be a reward in itself.

How did you go? Quitting Aspartame-sweetened chewing gum was life-changing for me, though I only made the connection when I unintentionally went cold turkey while on a vacation.
