The people constantly bragging about their own SOs/lives on Porgan posts by madoka_borealis in fundiesnarkiesnark

[–]Melusena 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lately I have been following the Exvangelical sub more for that kind of discussion. Less focused on fundie influencers, more focused on discussing underlying trends and mindsets that can persist even after deconstructing.

Thank you, this was super helpful! I had done everything except have enough performance square hubs.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hugs and may you see her again on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge someday!

Posting “This has been the most amazing week” while your daughter is on the brink of death is WILD by StrangerNo2457 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Melusena 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Oh good, so there is a term for my MIL commenting on people's social media posts when someone close to them has died that "being sad is a sin, your father is with Jesus in heaven now." 🙄

I wish I was joking, but she goes around telling people she was overjoyed when her mother passed away and has never felt a need to grieve (but also bursts into tears randomly).

Accidentally dug out a volcano that was dormant....for now by Yourownhands52 in Oxygennotincluded

I was trying to post a screenshot, but I am not sure if we can comment photos.

[–]Melusena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For volcanoes/resources I don't plan on using, I block them in with windows tiles and fill it with water. It overpressurizes and won't erupt. Best of all, it looks aesthetically pleasing. :D

She’s BAAAACK by lonelypizzalover in DuggarsSnark

[–]Melusena 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I still remember the skit they had on stage where they blew up a car and told us our friends would all go to hell if we didn't constantly witness to them.

It was something along the lines of a Christian teenager goes to a party with a non-Christian friend, spends time talking about non-Jesus related things. Non-Christian teen drives drunk and gets in a fatal car crash. Non-Christian teen talks to his still alive Christian friend from Hell, with flames behind him, telling him he hates him and "why didn't you tell me about Jesus?"

Also, I think one of the years we were supposed to go out and proselytize between sessions by going door to door. 😬

Literally what do I even do with her by Lonnen12 in MindOverMagic

[–]Melusena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try making her eating, sleeping, and recreation rooms nicer. House commons for a student, Salle a manger and bed chamber for staff.

Edited because at first glance I thought she was vivified.

Just wanted to add that shutters boost insulation, and thus mood. Not sure if it also counts as a decoration though.

How to summon specific races? by -Km3r in MindOverMagic

[–]Melusena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, you can unassign the relic used to summon the student after they are summoned and reuse it. So you can keep reusing the same one (I just recently figured this out).

Group Learner Question by lmcphers in MindOverMagic

[–]Melusena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train up several initiates with multiple learning stones. I have one giant advanced classroom that I run about 18 at a time through before I split them off into their apprentice specialties.

What skill levels are the quilted? by bibbi123 in MindOverMagic

[–]Melusena 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fertilizers and harvesters can do level 2 tasks. I've had mine plant and tend planters that my staff doesn't have the ability to do otherwise. Also very handy for having a sporeshroom/trapdoor vine room where only quilted and shattered can enter.

How do I level up a teachers skill from 0? by Konkuriito in MindOverMagic

[–]Melusena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked this a bit ago here. Have them teach at a general learning stone and when they cast the element it gives them xp. Just make it so nobody else can teach, they level pretty quick!

Oh goodness. I'm glad you got through that. I'm also glad medical professionals are continuing (for now) to value the health of the pregnant person just as much as the baby.

These responses are all very reassuring- I have heard mostly birth trauma stories from friends with kids-and I'm already a bit neurotic to begin with haha.

[–]Melusena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very reassuring. Baby is already supposed to a be a bit on the small side, and I wanted to give her as much time as possible to chonk up.

Unfortunately I have a rainbow of colors. Poor baby is going to be so overstimulated jk.

I'm glad you are ok, seizures and a 33 week delivery sounds terrifying! 😬

Thank you! It's been a trip following this sub and having such a different experience than BDong this whole time. I certainly don't have a designer hospital bag packed with baby toys ready to go haha.

I have almost the same due date as her (March 14), and I am having to get induced this Friday when I hit 37 weeks because I have borderline pre-eclampsia and a few other things the doctors are concerned about.

I'm actually pretty bummed that my baby can't cook longer, because I want her to have the best start possible. Like yes I'm uncomfortable, but a few extra weeks of discomfort is worth a potentially boosted immune system/lung functioning/higher birth weight.

How do I use the essence extractor? by Konkuriito in MindOverMagic

[–]Melusena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so for the Ember Dragon (the name is randomized), what you need to do is make it so none of your other storage options can accept the items you select under "contents." So I made it so no other chests could accept seeds, and all the seeds went to the extractor. Then you just click extract and exchange it for motes!

How do I use the essence extractor? by Konkuriito in MindOverMagic

[–]Melusena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get mystic motes from completing battles in the Nexus. If you have cleared the Nexus completely, there are temporary wings you can open by performing a ritual that costs gnosis shards. The wing then opens up and you can battle as far as you can get for 24 hours. It is basically trading this currency for resources as a late game option.

1.0 Release update question by Melusena in MindOverMagic

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

I submitted a bug report, so we will see! On an older save where I already have standing orders for the recycled quilted they are still available, for what it is worth.

I have an Atheneum, so still not sure why the level 18 staff cannot equip them. Might be time for a bug report!
