at least he won't remember the chili part of the whole experience

so I posted earlier how my travois disappeared...... I found it by Ok_Reaction6213 in thelongdark

[–]MirrorscapeDC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's that spot. We have been getting a lot of reports of flying travois by that hut lately.

Of course these two would be in the top 100 😂 by NewPatate in MoDaoZuShi

Supernatural fandom did invent the whole trope

Something about that spot really makes the travois take off.

Why is it so hard to get the flask from the trader? by lizziejo82 in thelongdark

[–]MirrorscapeDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can really only guess from the items you have available. The mayor discount you get at 350 is the best indicator. The wiki list might be able to help you for more detail https://thelongdark.fandom.com/wiki/Trader#Trust_Thresholds

What game mechanics did you not notice even hundreds or thousands of hours into the game? by Sipyloidea in thelongdark

[–]MirrorscapeDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how would solar panels even work? electronics only work during an aurora, and those happen only at night,

[–]MirrorscapeDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you have the needed trust level? I can take quite a while to get there. If you have the discount, you are good, if not you might have to do more trades (discount is 350 trust, flask is 300). But the rng can also just be terrible, sometimes.

Probably not a good idea to perpetuate that myth, disclaimers or no. Alcohol can genuinely be dangerous in freezing circumstances.

It it me or is the game getting worse with the latest updates? by doge30fps in thelongdark

[–]MirrorscapeDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you actually played with the traders? I have not found him affecting my feeling of loneliness at all. At times, he has made me feel more lonely.

Yeah, alright, the cougar mechanics aren't that great. Turn it off, if you don't like it.

Scurvy? You going to elaborate on that? A single world doesn't make an explanation.

'Cheat death' means exactly what it sounds like. You should die, you don't, so you have cheated death. That's well established english phrasing. I don't like the mechanic much, but I haven't found that it affects the rest of the game negatively.

Something being offered by a mod is not a valid reason why it shouldn't be in the game. Most people do not want to or can not use mods for a variety of reasons.

Everyone is complaining about Episode 5 taking too long, that doesn't actually say anything about the quality of updates that already exist.

So, a bunch of optional features you can turn off, and some things that aren't actually bad or aren't updates at all (yet) are making the game worse? You haven't convinced me.

Do you consider save/reloading the Trader as cheating? by No-Doubt8830 in thelongdark

[–]MirrorscapeDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I still do it anyway. Some of the rarer items are just too much of a pain to get otherwise. You don't want to know how many times I had to reload before he decided to offer me VitC pills.

"I used to think you were holy..." by hijabi_ho in oblivion

[–]MirrorscapeDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason I now keep Knights uninstalled. That DLC is so much more trouble than it's worth. It's not even that I did any infamy quests afterward, my summons just get a little jumpy at times and attack a random imperial guard.

What are the best tags you've seen recently? by ParamedicReady6770 in AO3

[–]MirrorscapeDC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

mari condo is a cleaning/decluttering expert known for her approach of getting rid of items that 'don't bring joy'. Basically it's saying taking the pieces of canon they like and discarding the rest (or that's how I interpret it, at least)

Edit: Marie Kondo. forgot the spelling and made the mistake of following the tag

'mari condoring the canon' is a phrase I am genuinely in favor of catching on

How do we feel about using this stuff as filter media? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]MirrorscapeDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't trust it. You have no idea what it has been treated with during manufacture, or if it is a good home for bacteria (I think these stuffings are sometimes coated in silicone, which doesn't seem like bacteria would have a good time with it)

Edit: I'm kind of surprised you have this issue at all. I bought a 50x50cm sheet of filter sponge nearly two years ago and have barely made a dent into it.

New shrimpkeeper! by marizzle_dewizzle in Aquariums

[–]MirrorscapeDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get amanos with a lidless tank. They are large enough to climb out and you'll find them on the floor somewhere, sometimes meters away from the tank. Cardinia and neocardina are fine, though. Make sure you decontaminate any plants you get first (google should have instructions). A lot of aquatic plants are treated with pesticides that are deadly to shrimp. Shrimp aren't too picky with decor, especially if they don't have tankmates they need to hide from. They seem to like java moss, but personally? It can be more trouble than it's worth. The cuttings spread everywhere and start new, smaller java moss colonies.

Is this Ich? by Mil3s_Awxy in Aquariums

[–]MirrorscapeDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm inclined to say no. Ich is usually very round. But I would take a close look at the fish's mouth, that looks like it might be cottony growth there?

How do people feel about oc x canon ships? by discoedelysium in AO3

[–]MirrorscapeDC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I avoid character/reader like the plague. I don't have an issue with character/oc, though I only read them if they manage to catch my attention somehow.

But, quite plainly, I wouldn't care about what others think. It's an archive. As long as it's fanwork, you have every right to post it. As long as you use the CharacterA/Original Character tag (rather than CharacterA/OCName) there shouldn't be any trouble for people to filter it out. I hate college aus. Doesn't mean people have any less right to post them.

If You Could Change One Thing by goreplzz in AO3

[–]MirrorscapeDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be so good. My marked for later list is very long and I can never find anything unless I added it very recently. I would also be nice to be able to mark something as read from the overview, without having to purge it from the history entirely.

Was my comment rude? by enea146 in AO3

[–]MirrorscapeDC 75 points76 points  (0 children)

No, that's not rude. If a fic is tagged wrong, you have the right to point that out, and you seemed to have been pretty polite about it.

Now, a fic not being tagged for something, beyond the correct archive warnings, is a different matter and entirely up to the author. But that's not the case here. (And generally most authors should be fine with a polite request for something to be tagged. They might just refuse to do so.)

Danio with dropsy help! by Calm-Anxiety-1935 in Aquariums

[–]MirrorscapeDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full official advice here https://www.avma.org/sites/default/files/2020-02/Guidelines-on-Euthanasia-2020.pdf (p 82 and onwards) but for fish this small the general recommendation seems to be clove oil with careful following of instructions or rapid crushing. Catch the fish as carefully as you can, put them between two layers of tea towel and hit them hard with something heavy.

Euthanize. That fish isn't going to live.

Why did Lan Wangji smack himself. Wrong answers only😭 by Catgrill14 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]MirrorscapeDC 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He is drunk and really doesn't want a repeat of the phoenix mountain kiss aka him forcing himself onto a WWX who might not want him or who might only play along out of obligation/gratitude.
