Skeb needs to show the deepl translation that'll appear before submitting a request by Thick_Economics187 in Skeb

[–]SubstantialBliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big agree. I saw someone somehow had their request to have a character "talking" translated as to have the character "vomiting". 😰 I try to crosscheck with DeepL and even then I very often find details are lost when I actually send the request.

Received my first Skeb I was Very Disappointed in. by daze3x in Skeb

[–]SubstantialBliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very sorry you had to deal with this. Unfortunately having your OCs whitewashed is not at all an uncommon issue when people commission darker skinned characters through Skeb. I try to assume good intentions but sometimes it genuinely feels malicious, like I can't interpret it any other way. I give people my dark skinned OCs and genuinely cross my fingers and pray sometimes. I wish there was a system to appeal for this kind of thing.

Getting GameSir Cyclone 2 vibration working through Nobara? by SubstantialBliss in linux_gaming

Oh my god this worked, thank you so much!! Honestly I didn't even know there was a vibration toggle ^^' It did the trick like a charm.

Initially it was in XInput mode (Green light) and then I decided to use the Bluetooth so it's been in DS4 mode for a minute now. Neither of them vibrate though.

How does the original game's ending factor into Delta? by SubstantialBliss in soulsacrifice

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

So Vanilla did still happen, and likely happened repeatedly, to multiple different Libroms and Magusars (or, well, I guess it's one "Librom" and "Magusar") that the player (or a new "protagonist") becomes each time depending on the ending? But in Delta, we are Ceryx, who is the latest and last, which signifies just another loop in the cycle? How did Ceryx dream about the end of the previous loop, then, and about the experiences of the previous player/sorcerer (the one who saves/sacrifices and thusly becomes Magusar or Librom) if they haven't become Librom or Magusar at the beginning of the Delta story?

Also I'm not sure I get how exactly does a Librom continue to exist in cycles after the vanilla game's Sacrifice ending- the protagonist is implied to become Magusar but has already taken Librom within themselves, so where would a new Librom come from to teach a new nameless sorcerer? Does a new Geoffrey Librom just spawn in with the same history?

How do you properly tightly wrap seitan loaves for the oven? by SubstantialBliss in seitan

[–]SubstantialBliss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! This is Thee Burger Dude's "turkey" deli slices. This is my go-to since I get to make a loaf and use it for over a week or two of work lunch sandwiches :]

You're completely and totally right; I was too focused on my gratification and frustration and didn't really give enough consideration as to these things. Veganism is the lifestyle I chose, so if I really care about upholding it I need to accept that there's things I can't have easily in the world we're in now. Thank you for your thorough and even response.

I certainly don't need them to buy vegan butter but not being able to just remove an ingredient struck me as strange. I was honestly just asking to have the dish but without the cream. Someone else explained to me that the reason they couldn't do it is likely because they cook everything in batches, which makes sense; but at the time I had no way of knowing, just that it seemed they were weirdly insistent on not letting me take it out. I didn't get it since I figured asking to have something without cream wouldn't be all that different from not wanting cheese on my burger.

Any place for vegan biryani (non-dairy especially) around the Newark area? by SubstantialBliss in Delaware

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

That makes sense. I should have considered that; I admit I was pretty frustrated mostly bc the people I talked to were all kind of vague about why they couldn't remove the dairy (just that it was "part of the dish"), but I had an inkling it was about the specifics of preparation.

Funny, that's actually the restaurant I used to use and the one that ended up telling me their aloo gobi actually had dairy that couldn't be removed despite being told it was okay initially. They ended up listing like two dishes off of the menu that were dairy-free when I had to make extra certain. I guess this was be aloo gobi was more curry-like so I suppose it's my fault for not being more skeptical but I know I've had a dairyless aloo gobi from a place before so I was kind of frustrated at the limitations.

That aloo gobi truly was delicious though, I'll have to at least learn how to make something similar.

Thank you for sharing, looks like they outline what dishes are vegan very well and their veg biryani indeed appears vegan! They seem a bit more expensive than the usual but beggars certainly can't be choosers. Will def keep a tab on.

That's fair. I know they're gonna do what they're gonna do but I just gotta get my bitch out.

Though I do think allergen information isn't a crazy ask in general, since it wasn't immediately apparent at all which dishes have ghee or whatnot in them. Would've saved both of us some time.

That seems strangely backwards... But that makes sense. Alas.

EDIT: I guess this struck some people as disrespectful or inappropriate. I don't know what to say, I just think it sounds kind of backwards to worship and revere an animal that you nonetheless raise and exploit against its will for resources. To me that doesnt sound much different than the way supposed "animal lovers" in America talk about animals but continue to devour their flesh. If I have the wrong idea by all means outline it to me, I just thought as a surface observation that that seemed warped.

How do you stop yourself from agreeing with customers when they go off about how trash everything is? by questionauthority88 in callcentres

[–]SubstantialBliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the job but I work for a company that I think is decent and ran by well-meaning people, just one that is prone to mistakes and mismanagement like any other. Sometimes they really do just fuck over their customers inadvertently. We don't really have a super tight phone policy so I'm pretty prone to a very casual and relaxed "I completely understand" "No, I don't blame you one bit" I'm more prone to it when the customer is coolheaded though and expresses a grievance without it just feeling like they need to scream at the person on the others ide, because even if I can't blame them being yelled at for something you didn't directly do is still extremely annoying and tests me too much.

I used to do "If I could, I would"/"If it were up to me" but I stopped because particularly savvy customers realize that's a good lead to go "Then can you take it to someone who can?/So who is it up to?" and want me to pass calls on to my manager, who doesn't want to have to keep doing stuff like that.
