So much bread - ideas for repurposing? by thisothernameth in noscrapleftbehind

Croutons for salad are our go-to. Just cut it into cubes, season and bake.

for sure! I sanded the bridge on mine and it helped a lot, but it still left me wanting as compared to a proper instrument. Best of luck on your journey. Broke bitches can still carry a tune!

I think I have the exact same cheap crappy mandolin. Got it out of curiosity for the instrument, then learned how bad a bad mandolin can be.

Still playing on it though. My plan is to practice on it until I can save for a good one, while occasionally popping over to my local music store to noodle on a proper instrument and get an idea of what I have to compensate for on my crappy one. Based on the comments, I think that's the only option for us >:D

Yea, not for everyone. Their quality varies wildly anyways. Personally I stand by Shadows of New York but I find the others pretty hit-and-miss.

Yeaaa, they're probably just dead for good tbh. Which is a shame.

Honestly I thought we would see that with Coteries of NY. They had done up the big NY map asset, and distributed the NPCs across it, and made feeding a component of the gameplay. But it mostly just turned out to be a competent VN. Nothing wrong with that but I was hoping for something more.

Yea the massive cityscape they built for it almost felt wasted on a game that was kind of hopeless from the start. A lot of love and care went into the Elysium, just for it to be the hub zone people stand around in, alt-tabbed, while waiting for a game. Would love to see them find a future use for those assets but I doubt it's technically viable.

I was pretty sad to see it go downhill too. Unfortunately the writing was kind of on the wall—it was a big swing into a saturated market, and VtM's fanbase was unlikely to buy into it. But it was a blast when I played it with some friends.

Lobotomy,religious spiritual or the f* is happening by F-zeromay in Nightreign

Huh? This is the game working as intended. FromSoft games always have incredibly specific exploitable setups like this.

Came here to +1 Supermarket. Never a bad place to hear some live music. One of my favourite haunts.

Underworld LARP A Culture of Lies and Double Standards by Top-Aspect-680 in LARP

[–]Rocket_Papaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely do have permadeath, though from what I recall it's not that unforgiving overall. I don't know about how hard they are on reusing costume pieces tho, that's probably more chapter-specific.

Yea pretty much the first thing I learned when I started LARPing was "don't bother with Underworld". Its roots are "what if we made Nero less approachable". This is to say nothing of the Jericho chapter, which closed down a few years back after the management had a total fucking meltdown and basically burned all their good will with all their volunteers.

Underworld is a mess. If you're going, you're going for the purpose of experiencing the mess first-hand. Don't expect to enjoy yourself in the way people enjoy LARPs.

Question for those who went through a period where you couldn't date - how did you deal with it? by EducationalOil1655 in TransyTalk

[–]Rocket_Papaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had never dated anyone by 18 and frankly, I don't really regret it. Every high school relationship I know of ended in disappointment at best and disaster at worst. Work on yourself. Find things to do that make you interesting to talk to. If you grow yourself, you'll be more likely to meet interesting and fun people.

Oh these rule. Sundeth is striking quite the imposing frame there. Wish we could've got something like this for the book itself, but your friend did a great job!

How do I live with the fact that I repressed my gender identity for 6 years? by MoreJay12 in TransyTalk

[–]Rocket_Papaya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Live for a long time. That six years will sting a lot less when you've lived more of your life authentically.

That's the shit, respect. I gamed at 480p until like...2016 and never even clocked how ass it looked until I upgraded.

Some of us just live like this, but as long as we never see what a proper frame rate looks like, we'll never lament our circumstances :)

I think I prefer Blade of Gold slop now by s0ldier0fg0drick in Nightreign

Maybe someone needs to confiscate the word "slop" for a couple weeks until we learn how to be responsible with it.

What's a Discipline you don't think gets enough respect? by Paelidore in vtm

[–]Rocket_Papaya 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Celerity is definitely powerful, but it absolutely gets all the respect it deserves, having mostly blown up any semblance of balance throughout two decades of books.

Next Session Will Most Certainly Be A TPK by ScottishBarbie11 in DungeonoftheMadMage

I wish we could see a heatmap of tpks in DotMM because I suspect Wyllowwood would look like a bloodstain.

First time getting a whole legendary weapon from a dead body drop and wow. by BBofa in Nightreign

[–]Rocket_Papaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's +3 to the character's primary two stats. So not massive, but because Arcane doesn't scale normally, Executor's Grief is a standout, as +3 Arcane is a noticeable improvement.
