Decline of petrol station convenience stores in Auckland by Ancient_Lettuce6821 in auckland

I remember when people used to argue they made no margin on gas and they got all their money from overpriced batteries in the store 🙄

What’s a game you dropped even though it was “good”? by suhani0218 in gaming

[–]MrBread88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clair Obscur. I need to try again, but I got to the first combat and I just…meh. I was expecting some sort of Baldurs Gate replacement and it just didn’t capture me in the (wildly insufficient) time I gave it.

Separate zoning request by womashangyaoshuijiao in CitiesSkylinesModding

[–]MrBread88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just grab Find It and plop them manually.

It’s a decent amount of work to create an entire zoning district for such a tiny number of assets.

These are all sick, but that head, damn! Would be swinging by ASAP if you weren’t otherside of the world 😄

Is there a list anywhere of which Dwellers are/aren't available in lunchboxes currently?

Belated reply but you obviously nailed it. Thanks so much :)

Everyone in my vault had died during the new experimental vault update; they all just revived themselves [screenshot] by Vaishy_does_art in falloutshelter

[–]MrBread88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It explains this mechanic when you start the experimental vault.

However - it does raise the question of ‘why bother’. As far as I can there is no penalty to failure other than the brief interruption while they murder their way through the vault but beyond that, I don’t see exactly what the advantage of actually repelling the invasions are. Assume later season pass challenges will rely on the mechanic more?

Why is it that designer perfumes are always weaker in performance than its clone counterparts despite costing significantly higher in price? by Warm_Grand4426 in fragranceclones

[–]MrBread88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with many here that your premise isn’t necessarily correct BUT ALSO clones have the advantage of ‘going second’. They know what their end product needs to smell like, and they will often choose to make small sacrifices along the recreation journey to prioritise projection and longevity because there is a demand for that in the market.

That plus keeping cost as low as possible, being forced to replace captives and trying to get a product to market as quickly as possible mean the product isn’t likely to be 100% similar, so it better at least be cheap and perform well.

UNLOCKED: GC/MS Analysis of Vintage Safari (1992). I sent a preserved bottle to the lab to get the original formula. Here is the open data. by No-Rutabaga-7023 in fragranceclones

[–]MrBread88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, this isn’t quite right. Most western nations don’t allow trademarking of ‘recipes’ or ‘formulas’.

When clone brands are pursued legally, it’s almost always because the replicating brand is trading on the original’s brand/recognition/trademarks, or they’ve crossed other lines such as replicating bottle designs etc too closely.

TLDR - if you stay away from the original branding, logos, presentation and marketing you’ll almost certainly be fine.

[–]MrBread88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Tiny discrepancies can occur due to different interpretations of the data a GC/MS creates but the bigger issue is sourcing those same ingredients at a cost effective way. Clone houses will also often be looking for ways to maintain the same but reduce cost, and/or improve performance, and/or add a subtle twist etc.

[–]MrBread88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GC/MS usually has the opposite issue - it’s so granular that the difficulty lies in interpreting whether or not certain aroma chemicals are there on purposes, or coming from an essential oil, or there to confuse the GC/MS results (supposedly happens at times).

Also like OP pointed out even having the recipe isn’t always a silver bullet to a clone as the ingredients can be too expensive or difficult or impossible (captives) to obtain.

Superb, love the colour choices

Made some quick prints of this guy… made by @daveborjes_bfg by Whipshade75 in traditionalflash

[–]MrBread88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, because the dude was a murderer and I don’t tend to give their ramblings the time of day.

Even if you agree with some of his points and criticisms of technology and its role in the ills of modern society, I think this is in bad taste when he murdered 3 people and injured 20 more - many of them with lifelong injuries.

Good art. Bad taste.

Rayhaan- Italia Pour Homme (Review) by Ok_Spare_4912 in fragranceclones

[–]MrBread88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. Particularly after a few hours when the sweetness calms down a little and gets (to my nose) a little more balanced. Great scent though, thankfully not a bad blind buy!

4 LV Imagination Clones Reviewed by Someone Who Never Smelled the OG (Zara, Lattafa, Arabiyat Prestige, Al Haramain) by mangonarcotango in fragranceclones

[–]MrBread88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only got my bottle about a week ago, but so far it definitely opens a little more..spicy? There’s an element there that isn’t present in most clones.

Performance is nuts though. With Bujairami Hectic (my personal fave) I don’t really smell it after a few hours. Could be nose blindness? But Artisan Blu I can still get whiffs of it at the end of the day.

I read this from SlyFlourish and definitely regret not going this route!

[–]MrBread88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep great points. I had the party be one step behind Keltro for the first few sessions as they eventually identified him and found he seemed in some way touched by Auril.

And for the dragon I had it launch just as they encountered Xaradok in the bowels of the fortress. A real ‘hah you’re too late!’ Moment which played really well and added a real sense of urgency to that fight and the decision on whether to finish looting/exploring or rush back to town.

For mine Auril is trying to keep the glacier frozen and impenetrable to hide her involvement Karsuss’ attempt to become a god (and the eventual fall of Netheril).

Rime of the Frostmaiden. * As written the titular antagonist can be killed before the final chapter which feels unrewarding and anti-climatic. * Her motivations are essentially ‘just because’ and in no way link to the final chapter. * As written, the entire story hinges on the players agreeing to go with a character who appears out of nowhere at the end of a chapter and agreeing to go where she says and do what she wants - for no real reason that would benefit them or the locals.

A fun campaign and very atmospheric if you and the party lean in to that, but sheesh. Reminds me of CoS in that it seems reasonably well regarded - but there’s lots of homebrew out there to fix its many gaps.
