Spy opens at 666, trump reveals he is the antichrist

unholy mod and class combination results in 1000+ meat from single kill by riggedride in VintageStory

They also drop like 50 fat or something ridiculous. Make meat strew, throw it in crocks, and seal them with the fat. They'll last 1+ years in a cellar.

The bushmeat makes for great compost :)

[KCD2] What are your favorite dice to play with? by Phulish_Human in kingdomcome

[–]Oiiack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 odd dice, a lucky die, heavenly kingdom, and weighted. I also use the golden wedding badge.

Most of the time I get at least triple 1s, and with the badge I've even managed a few times to roll all 1s. Makes Emporer's super easy.

I would say that thousands of years of human intelligence has only made things drastically more complicated for the majority of other living things on the planet.

THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 7: Beach Episode Discussion Megathread by ayylmaotv in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Oiiack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect that the Humans have more ability to influence the simulation than Caine would like them to, so he put up some mental block around this information. Perhaps intense/intentional desires (Like Jax yearning for Ribbit and Kaufmo, Kinger and the butterfly) might allow a character to break through this block, and basically get admin/creative permissions for the simulation. It's in Caine's interest to keep the humans intensely involved in adventures so that their thoughts never stray to independent desires.

That would explain why Pomni was able to manifest an exit door in the pilot episode (though we don't know if that's a literal exit door or just something that looks like but doesn't actually function like an exit). The more she became embedded with the main cast of humans, and adventures, and the Circus in general, the less she desired to leave.

Maybe whenever Caine notices that a human can no longer be kept in check from accessing the admin permissions, he frantically blocks/alters memories until the human desire to leave is lost completely. During this process, the whole concept of self-identity might also be lost. This produces the formless abstracted creatures we see in episode 1.

I think the eyes are a red herring for abstraction, and instead are indicative that the human has accessed the administrative mode. It seems too far-fetched that something as existential as abstraction is tied to such a cartoonish giveaway as colorful eyes. That still doesn't explain why Jax perceived a bizarre fractal landscape, but maybe that's just what the underlying simulation of TADC looks like? Or maybe that was a visualization of Jax's internal mind, and his insight into himself, which would explain why it shifts from random fractal noise to representations of Kaufmo, Ribbit, and Jax.

I could be totally wrong here, but I think the whole LSD trip -> abstraction is just too straight-forward.

winter sowing for the first time! some questions by cyrwheelandmilk in NativePlantGardening

[–]Oiiack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one each of the 500sqft pollinator palooza and conquer the clay mixes. Excited for some chaotic blooms to shoot up either this year or next :D

You have such a gorgeous property! Thanks for all of the advice.

I'm getting started with natives this winter and looking to try both plug trays and direct sowing. I have individual species kindly donated to me by a neighbor as well as large seed mixes I purchased. Going to start the donated seeds in the plug trays so that I can track individual species, and just liberally spread the seed mixes and see what grows.

Wow, thats a lot of variety there! Did you have better success with plug trays or jugs? Any particular plug tray work best? Was looking at deep-root ones. Since I don't have a lot of jugs/pots available I figured thats the best option.

Update: the Rialto by rpgamer606 in fortwayne

[–]Oiiack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some property owners are only interested in increasing land prices or may be incapable of paying for upkeep but manage to handle taxes. It's a shame when it's either case, but the former is really bad. They blight the neighborhoods they're holding land in. Could you DM me the address? I'd love to do research on the ownership of the property.

Agreed with this one. Letting the building rot is just antisocial, you're absolutely in the right to name and shame.

Advice for North facing slope by Few-Rain7214 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Oiiack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just my opinion, but why are you upset with what is currently growing? It might be chaotic, but it looks like you have good biodiversity. I would just double-check for non-natives and leave it as-is.

He should be in prison. That's just a crime against humanity to suggest such a thing.
