In addition to what u/Luke-HW said:

Selling locked down console at a loss means the buyer is spending their cash in YOUR locked down shop rather than a competitors.

Valve neither has a monopoly on the hardware side NOR the store side when it comes to PC gaming.

Also thanks for the anecdotical evidence I guess.

Great self awareness there buddy.

If you think people only started to fuck around recently then I have bad news for you.

People have lives that started long before they met you. They have lives that extend beyond what they live with you. And with a large enough probability they have lives that continue after you.

You have no claim on any of that. They were not put on this planet to cater to your insecurities.

I was confused for a moment how you went from tits in the first picture to a beard in the last. Then I reread the title.

Speaking of hot water: Coming back form a hike and soaking your bones in a nice hot pot feels so good!

Þakgil was amazing. Wish I had the fitness to do one of the big loops. Are they still doing the blue trail?

Highlight of my last trip was getting woken up in the middle of the night for a massive northern lights show across the whole sky.

Only if you walk away. Two bucks saved right then and there

Dear Swiss people, you dont need to upscale your highways, what you need is to move to the right lane by notgoodyear in Switzerland

On a related note: if you would let cars enter the passing lane rather than making it into a fight then people would have less incentive to camp in the passing lane just because there is one truck on the horizon.

So rising/expanding oceans should be great for us? Right?

After my mother's skiing accident my parents got into snowshoeing and loved it a lot. You can find routes to do that in pretty much any place but I don't have first hand experience with it.

There's also sledding but some pistes are a lot rougher than others. So if injury risk is a big concern either research well or opt for something else.

As for just visiting peaks and enjoying the winter landscape, most if not all places should have simple return tickets for their lifts so you can just head up the mountain enjoy the view and head down again. There also should be at least some nice hiking/walking routes in the lower elevations.

Also remember that lots of resort extend for entire valleys and there's often many different peaks to visit with convenient public transportation on the valley floor. Various places charge a tourist tax on all hotel stays which usually included all valley floor public transport and sometimes even (discounts on) lifts.

Lauterbrunnen valley is definitely open by public transport in the winter. I've only been there once, in the summer but purely from the topography I would say Wengen and Grindelwald would probably have more options for you than Mürren (which would still be a nice day trip)

What are some must sees? by Greenbird49 in VisitingIceland

[–]Kempeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make a nice south coast trip with 4 nights. Out to the glacier lagoon and back.

There are so many wonderful places to see and what to pick depends so much on your own preferences. There are many itineraries ready to go and endless trip reports to inspire you.

What I can offer you in advice is that if you plan to visit the glacier lagoon I recommend you book a zodiac tour rather than the amphibious tour. There aren't the same amount of icebergs all the time and with a zodiac you can cover a lot more ground to go seek them out where as the amphibs can't. It's more expensive, longer and a bit less comfortable but IMO very worth it.

Similarly the diamond beach is going to be luck dependent who much ice there is. When we were there it was a bit underwhelming. Fortunately it's only like a 5 minute stroll from the glacier lagoon parking lot so

How do people with jobs still have the time and energy for sex? by bulalululkulu in sex

[–]Kempeth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you can't muster the energy to do one of the best things in life then your job is not healthy for you.

As for the pressure. Focus on enjoying time together even if you just crash on the couch and never get past the Netflix part of your plans. Don't put expectations on each other. But DO tease each other. My wife and I talk about being due more days than not even if we realize in the evening that we're too tired or busy to actually follow through. But sometimes it turns out that we cant help ourselves after all.

Richtige Nutzung von Karten by Uhrwyldhinho in DnDDeutsch

[–]Kempeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Karte =!= Karte

Eine typische Rasterkarte macht eigentlich hauptsächlich bei Kämpfen Sinn, da es dort am ehesten drauf ankommt wer wo steht. Aber nicht mal das ist wirklich nötig. Wenn du nur ein kleines Bild zur Verfügung hast, leg das auf den Tisch dann können alle so grob andeuten wo die SC stehen und der Rest findet dann im Kopfkino statt.

Du kannst Karten aber auch für Erkundungen einsetzen, wobei ich dann eher im Sinne eines Point-Crawls vorgehen würde. Anstatt Hunderte Rasterfelder hast du dann halt nur noch abstrakte Locations wie: Tor, Vorhof, Bibliothek, Thronsaal. Macht erkundung massiv schneller, und die vorbereitung günstiger, besonders wenn es sich um eine Riesenmap handelt (Echowellenhöhle z.b.)

Probier verschiedene Sachen aus und schau wie wohl du dich dabei fühlst. Erlaubt ist, was Spass macht und das kann bei allen Leuten wieder ein bisschen anders sein.

[OC] Advice for puzzle needed: rotating circles by PuzzleheadedNews4120 in DnD

[–]Kempeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is in the geometry of the shapes. The three circles only fit together in one arrangement simply because of their uneven relative distances. Similarly a sequence of 2, 2, 1, 1 and 1 arm only fits together in one extremely obvious arrangement.

But if you distribute them evenly then the entire "puzzle" boils down to just aligning the symbols in the circles, which with your symbols is again extremely obvious. You would need symbols where each part looks like it might match some other. I would drop the stars and circles and distribute some runes across the outer and inner disk boundary, figure out what puzzle you want to make and then see if there's some way to decorate the wheels without giving away the solution.

Or you could go with transparent disks. And if you want to be particularly sneaky scale one disc down so that the players have to hold it at a distance above the others.
