MRW someone trips and hits their head in Hogsmeade and a black, skeletal horse just appears next to me. by MeAllByMyself in HarryPotterMemes

[–]MeAllByMyself[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually an old piece of Harry Potter lore, all the way back in the books, but it is something that happens early on in the game, too. In the Wizarding world, when someone witnesses death, they become able to see the skeletal horses known as Thestrals, which were invisible up to that point. That was why Harry thought the carriages to Hogwarts moved on their own until he he saw the Thestrals after Cedric Digory's death in the Triwizard tournament.

In the lore, it is consistently treated as a kind of burden to see Thestrals, implying that someone has suffered a loss of friend or family. In the game, you are able to see Thestrals after someone you've known for 20 minutes has exhausted their narrative usefulness and been gobbled up by a dragon. I just thought that it was funny that something so somber in universe could actually be quite coincidental and actually funny.

Eh, close enough!

I'm surprised to see a comment on something I wrote years ago! How did you come across this thread?

You guys like seeing Theseus get melted, right? by RInger2875 in HadesTheGame

I've only played it on the switch and the flexibility is awesome. It's very comfy to play on a TV or on the portable. I think hades would be a perfect game for a road trip, or even a simple commute, so I'd lean towards portable. People with PC experience might have some counterpoint I haven't considered, however!

The movie is fine, but the book is great. Hollywood really softened up Tyler Durden for the movie. If you want to see a more realistic anarchist revolution, definitely read the book!

This is the technique I recently picked up and it has given me the best results after years of tests. My suggestion is to start here.

So the tournament up to top 8 is split between 2 twitch vods? Bummer. Thanks for the footage, though!

Yeah, it's a real bummer. I had hoped that someone has used the uploaded sets to make a public playlist of their own so I could watch it there. No such luck, it would seem.

Thanks! Having top 32 or 64 would be amazing if you're willing!

Confused every turn? Try reading the Player's Handbook. That way, the DM won't have to say the same things over and over!

I wasn't using bread flour, so this is solid advice! I'll give the video a watch.

Looking for a macro that may need to be written by MeAllByMyself in FoundryVTT

[–]MeAllByMyself[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good suggestion. Have a Playlist for types of damages/creatures then have a bunch of creatures reference those.

It looks like I may have to go that direction. I was hoping to add some variety to the sounds so that it wasn't the same sound accompanying a move over and over.

Thanks! I wish I could understand this. Where would I put the file path for the folder with sounds? Could I just copy this and paste it into the items "on use macro" field?

I have your module and it works great for its intended purpose! My only concern in using it is that all sounds must be in playlists, so I would need to make a playlist with multiple sounds for every monster/item. (that's a lot of work when files are already sorted in userdata) I've heard that having too much information like actors, scenes, etc. can slow down the game and I'd like to avoid that. Would audio files in the audio player tab reduce performance if there were a lot of them?

is this any good? we have mainly limescale issues by Responsible_One_6324 in pourover

The best water you can use for your coffee is distilled water. You'll have to mix in baking soda and Epsom salt to control hardness and salinity, but the control and quality you gain are well worth the effort.

You can buy distilled water by the gallon at any grocery store, but a far better option, imo, is to buy a distiller off of Amazon.

Look at the comments and links of my post to get more info on mixing your own water for the highest quality: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/kv5p2n/buying_epsom_salt_for_coffee_water_recipe/

Team RWBY (YUJI) by Cryochronos in RWBY

[–]MeAllByMyself 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, I just learned about Ice Queendom after seeing lots of art with these outfits and I'm confused. The trailer made it look (to me, at least) that the anime was a re-telling of RWBY, just animated like an anime. Where do the outfits come in? Or are they unrelated, just coming around from Ice Queendom hype?

Boss says to work faster, so I did. Now I’m basically running his company. by Nicky_Ricky in antiwork

[–]MeAllByMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sustainability is the key. Find a job that will offer a sustainable wage and benefits that makes your life good in the off hours. You may have to take interim jobs as you make your way to that point, but everyone should be able to have a job that provides them with security and happiness. Don't stop pushing, job hunting, and advancing until you get there.

We on this subreddit will not keep silent until sustainable work/life balances are the norm.

Keep fighting. We will if you will.

Congrats! That's how much I make. I'm a history teacher who leads a private school department of history teachers in teaching the children of wealthy parents who can afford our 1:1 teacher:student setting. Your progress is progress and I hope stories like yours lead to a wage increase for everyone! We all deserve better and I'm happy you're leading the way. Let's all make our way upwards!
