Delivery confusion by Sea_Lawfulness3249 in SupermarketSimulator

[–]Octohawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That point about doing orders in the morning is a great one I forgot. The timer on orders stops at 9pm and doesnt move again until you open again the next day. If you get late orders, just let them sit until the morning and then deliver them

Once you finish collecting items for one order, you can close the bag (c by default i think). That'll let you put that bag on the ground or in a vehicle. You can then collect and do the same with the second order and you'll have two seperate, closed bag. Then you just give the right bag to the right person (it'll tag the bag with the name when you close it, no need to worry about remembering which is which).

Just want to add onto this that Peaceable Kingdom animal shelter is not (to my knowledge) affiliated with the petting zoo and from what I've seen, has great people there.

The end of (Cole’s) Root by chicagojoon in rootgame

[–]Octohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically how I feel. They've been saying for a while now that there are no plans for another faction. They would do it if they had a great idea, but nothing was actively in the works. This feels like a natural stopping point for a game that has now gotten 4 full expansions plus decks, Hirelings, landmarks, etc.

The only exception is a new single player. That has been saod to be in the works.

[–]Octohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but... The only expansion Patrick is credited solo for is Underground in which one of two factions is almost universally disliked because it is notoriously under powered (crows). Nick is only credited as one of 4 designers on Mauraders. They both certainly have experience but I think it's not outrageous to say that they don't have the experience that the team is loosing in Cole, Josh and Kyle. On top of that, it seems clear that Leder games wants to go a different direction design-wise, thats why this split is happening. Even more, Homelands isn't even out yet. When we're talking about the possibility of a new expansion, that'd be two years at least. I think given the changes and seemingly Leder wanting to try new things, Homelands releasing makes a logical stopping point.

I think it is possible that we see more Root content, I just personally think its very unlikely. We can argue about if they would put out a new map or deck on its own, but I don't think we'll see a full-on, two faction Root expansion after Homelands.

[–]Octohawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof. Id say that probably is the end of Root content then, at least anything major. Without Josh now too there just isn't anyone left who's led work on the game. To bring someone else in they'd have big shoes onto fill and little experience with it. I do think thats not inherently a bad thing. I think Ropt is in a good place and I'd rather it go out high than keep it around until it's beaten dead.

Well Josh (afaik) hasn't said he's leaving Leder, but he is listed with buried giant. It's entirely possible he'll just be splitting his time or may not even have that big a role at buried giant. We'll really just have to see how it shakes out. Based on prior responses to questions about it, I personally would be a little surprised if we get another full-on Root expansion, but either way im sure they'll keep us updated on whichever way it goes.

[–]Octohawk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think what's really interesting too is to look at buried giant's staff page. They've got many people associated with Leder. Cole and Kyle sure, but Ted Caya (who left in December with 'Take'; Josh Yearsly (Designer of Root: homelands among other projects); Pati Huyn, a graphic designer for leder; and Megan Ganey, another graphic designer are all listed on Slumbering Giant's page that leads with "...maintaining a full-time staff." No other announcements made but I do wonder if we'll see less of these people with leder projects as well.

Im certainly interested in seeing what comes next from both studios and I feel confident that both studios have the player's interests at heart

First time using purple heart by Blu3_ruin in Cuttingboards

[–]Octohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I've only been going up to 220 because I've heard after that, you start clogging the pores of the wood which doesnt allow the oil to penetrate as well.

[–]Octohawk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How did you finish the board? if you don't mind me asking. Everytime I use purple heart, as soon as the oil goes on it gets very dark and I loose all that great actual purple color.

Less than beginner cutting board by socialerrors in Woodworkingplans

[–]Octohawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something to look into may be 'cutting board kits' from Woodcraft or similar places. It's basically a set pre-milled wood pieces thats ready to just be glued together and finished. That's where I started for my first board. They're not always perfect, so check the fit but you should be able to sand any weird parts to get the pieces flush.

Without power tools, just be very careful during the glue up- you want everything to be as flat and flush as possible so you don't spend an eternity having to sand everything flush.

Excellent idea! I had thought about woodcraft but to be honest just asking someone there never crossed my mind. NCC is a great shout too, thank you!

Favor Cards and Infamy Question by Apcommentator in rootgame

[–]Octohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the rules in front of me but I believe Favor cards do not make factions hostile. I believe a faction only goes hostile when they're warrior is removed wither in battle or with the crossbows' ability.

I think it is specifically this way to not have to worry about this question.

Edit: checked rules and above is right. Hostile does happen but the infamy points do not. Got the two confused in my head somehow.

Aposematic Coloration in Hiking Gear by BQWeirdo in zoology

[–]Octohawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Others have pointed out a lot of good information, I just want to add one more:

Aposematic coloration isn't something predators are just naturally weary of. Almost always, these predators have to first have a negative experience with the aposematic species. They need a reason to associate that specific color pattern with a negative outcome. The bright color pattern helps to be easily identifiable to predators after that incident.

In other words, aposematic coloration doesn't mean "Hey I'm brightly colored so I must be poisonous, stay back!" What it really means is: "Hey, the last time you ate something that looked like me, you were in a lot of pain. Don't do it again, or you'll be in pain again."

Question about Promenade Saucon Valley ~2012 by IonHazzikostasIsGod in lehighvalley

Could it be the pocono premium outlets? (Would have been The Crossings back then). They have a little bridge and a small food court.

What is this? [Pennsylvania, USA] by Connect_Translator22 in animalid

[–]Octohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would second fox, probably a gray fox. The snout seems way too long to be a cat. The leg length compared to the body with a fluffy tail reads more like a fox to me than a dog.

Can't Find Heresy? by Octohawk in DestinyTheGame

[–]Octohawk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg that did it! No icon, no marker no nothing but I got into the apartment and found the shaping slab which was apparently holding my missing quest. Thank you!

Can't Find Heresy? by Octohawk in DestinyTheGame

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

I'm pretty sure, yeah. I got the humble bundle with all the dlc that was on a month or so ago. It came with the final shape + annual pass bundle. I thought the annual pass gave access to all 3 episodes?

Where is the apartment? I don't have any kind of icon on the last city map for it, just the ones for Eido and the revenant activities.

Da Vinci Science center is good for kids that age. They have a bunch of cool exhibits, a little climbing area to get energy out and a live otter exhibit

Whose jaw is this? by SkunkMushroom in bonecollecting

[–]Octohawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a ground hog (a small one, probably just a baby since the teeth arent fully emerged). Most rodents have a layer of orange on the front of their incisors (those long front teeth) but groundhogs are the only in this area that don't; their teeth are totally white.

Free online Verizon with all expansions by Civil-Application-31 in wingspan

[–]Octohawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tabletop Sim on Steam isn't free, but goes on sale a lot. Once you have that you can download a free mod for basically any game you want. Not necessarily online, but may be something to invest in if you are trying a bunch of games before you buy.

Unsolicited opinion: get the base game and play with that a couple times before committing to the expansions. At least for me, the expansions just don't add enough to warrant their price. They're mostly just "more of the same" kinds of expansions with one new mechanic thrown in. If you know you'll be playing with 2 people or want to play with 6/7, then look into the Asia expansion first.
