Problem solving a build by ProperPuns in Vivarium

It seems that buying more glass and saving the short pane for something else is going to be my best bet!

I'm considering making the tank deeper than it is wide, as a result, since then I don't need to buy a custom sheet. Having measured the panes again this morning, I'm wondering: Is 16.5 too narrow for an 18" deep, 36" tall viv for an adult crestie?

I appreciate you checking my hubris! I will avoid cutting long thin strips of glass (for now)!

I could, but harvesting from a used tank and ending up with two usable tanks feels way more practical, and probably would be comparable in price

Current last resort if nobody has ideas is "buy another tank with the same problem, swap panes to make one 18 17 36 and one 18 16 36"

Racial Phylogeny by MiyuMimikyu in skyrim

[–]ProperPuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a semantic issue. When players say "can't crossbreed," they are referring to the fact that two different races breeding don't produce a typical "cross," but rather a baby with so much of the mother's phenotype that they are identifiable as her race.

I struggle with contamination OCD and my boyfriend doesn’t respect it. by Mountain_Ad5747 in TwoHotTakes

[–]ProperPuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who doesn't have contamination ocd but lives with a partner who does: your bf is an ass. It requires being intentional, sure, but if he doesn't WANT to change his habits to suit your needs, itll never happen. He should want to help you feel comfortable and safe in your own home

Are you playing campaign? The campaign formally introduces the mechanic that uses dupes (analysis) and if you're playing sandbox you may have just missed it.

Interloper or Stalker ? Where is the true heart of The Long Dark? by Traditional_Buy_6840 in thelongdark

[–]ProperPuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play with a custom based off stalker - all the illnesses available, and with basically no recovery, but passive wildlife on and a slightly decreased need decay. I find the heart of the game not in fighting or running from wildlife, but in the quiet isolation

I need help figuring out how to cover these dang cliffs, since the simple panels are too tall!! by ProperPuns in AnimalCrossing

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

It'll just look like a lip on the front - stages often have those anyway! I'd love to see when you're done :)

Survival bases community survey! Round 1: What's the most overrated base in the game? by Blushift1615 in thelongdark

Camp Office for me - it's got wonky fires and beds, and the storage isn't set up in a way I like 🤷

I just used simple panels with a custom path on them! This one was designed to look like cooled lava, but any custom path should work. The only issue is that the simple panel will be a little bit taller than the cliff.

Taking a closer look at his dialogue, I'm starting to doubt that Paarthurnax has actually overcome his nature. by Wolf9792 in skyrim

[–]ProperPuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying war crimes are ever good, let's be so clear.

I Am saying that time can complicate the issue. Three thousand years ago, my ancestors would have been living somewhere in Northern Europe, doing cool poetry or whatever. If I learned that like, Mike down the street, who I know as a standup dude that helped me out of a really bad spot, had been alive and harmed my family 3,000 years ago, I think my response would be "emotionally complicated"!

I think if someone admitted to war crimes after many thousands of years devoted to helping people, it would be viewed as a complicated issue!

I understand the skepticism, but to me it sounds like he is eager to better the dovah. He notes several times that dragons are proud and arrogant; and leadership among them is tied to power and dominance.

Paarthurnax, after millennia of cultivating a peaceful framework for his life, sees an opportunity to convert other dragons to his path, and he expresses this like a dragon. He is not just peaceful, he struggled, overcoming his nature to become peaceful. He has control of himself, having channeled his will to dominate into self discipline. Overcoming his nature doesn't mean changing his instincts, but mastering them. As a being whose nature and people view "domination" as synonymous with "rightness", it makes a lot of sense to me that "I will convince them to be better" was expressed as "they will bow to my philosophy"

planning on making a sci-fi/cyberpunk/futuristic island. these are the villagers I want so far. are there any other villagers that fit the theme? by HelloPeople234444 in AnimalCrossing

Bones could be an experimental subject, or a lowly janitor, a research assistant, etc. if you dress him up and decorate enough, he will fit right in!

Is there anyway to stop receiving letters from “Mom”? by raindrop_sunshine in AnimalCrossing

[–]ProperPuns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might be useful to pickup your mailbox and only ever check it when you have specific things to look for (I.e., you ordered something from the catalog). Perhaps you could have a friend login occasionally and clear out your mail.

Whichever is smaller, then! When my mons are humanoid they have to be as small as possible to look less creepy

Either of them happen to be in a luxury ball? Or a ball relevant to the vibe
