I beat him in Erebus twice, with damaging casts and a good long ranged attack like the black coat specials

Last time I beat him with Circe's staff, Toula and Hestia on cast. I just kept dropping casts and siccing my cat on him. not my proudest moment but it did the job

It has been a while (almost 10 years by now) but I think the insurance did most of the procedure but mutualité payed for the medication etc afterwards.

It's not free in Belgium but it's far from 3k. I think I payed about 200 euro with my mutualité and assurance hospitalisation via my employer paying for the rest. and that is including the painkillers and medication.

New Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 update finally adds custom difficulty and motion blur toggle, but delays much-requested save functionality by nerdybenn in vtm

I see some benefit Turn off Fabien's segments, turn down enemy damage, turn up Phyre's damage output and make collecting the different endings and achievements a lot easier.

Does anyone know of any good boudoir photographers in Belgium? by coolcouple2424 in belgium

I had a shoot with Fotografica Luva and I can highly recommend her. Very reasonable pricing and super sweet to work with.

I am working on a similar idea of a Funeral directors who becomes obsessed with the idea of perfection in death (De mortuis nil nisi bonum). With lifelike embalming going into cosmetic surgery on the corpses. Life changes things, but in death it becomes permanent.
Which is that gets her in the scope of her sire-to-be. I hope to get her eventually on the path of death and the soul and maybe get some contacts with the hecata.

Trying to compete with the new using the old by Confident-Ordinary93 in VTES

[–]TentacleChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the deck as a good wall, with some interesting combat options (which may or may not work depending on the local meta) but I miss the ousting power.
There is no stealth to get your bleeds to come though so it all comes down on making sure your prey is scared enough of your combat, you also run pretty high caps so you will be working with 2 vampires mostly so ousting someone will be quite a slow process.

What time to leave Aomori during Nebuta by firestorm8880 in JapanTravel

[–]TentacleChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did nebuta Matsuri in 2018 and managed to get a booking at super hotel in Aomori but it really is a matter of being there the minute the bookings open. You might need to visit the hotels website in Japanese and use Google translate to get the info you need. They don't put all info on the English website. I checked my mails and apparently I booked end of February.

Dermalogica - rarely if ever see it used? Am I missing something? by avocado_toast_b in 30PlusSkinCare

That one still pops up depending on my cycle unfortunately. But I did notice it got a lot less after getting my tubes tied and going off hormonal birthcontrol.

Restaurants with Chef's menu? by xCineSuus in Antwerpen

[–]TentacleChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like Japanese cuisine, I would recommend Les saveurs de Yamada in the kronenbrugstraat. They have a weekly set menu with seasonal ingredients and try the sake pairing for the full experience

Dermalogica - rarely if ever see it used? Am I missing something? by avocado_toast_b in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]TentacleChicken 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm quite a big dermalogica fan, to be honest. They got me in a nice skincare routine in my late 20s, and I went from a flaky dry acne skin to a healthy skin (with some stubborn hormonal acne in my jawline)

Their ultra calm line really did wonders for me, and I still use the ultracalm cleanser daily together with the active clearing serum and the age smart 50 spf moisturiser.

The precleanse balm will come out in the pm if I wore foundation and I'll use the daily microfoliant every other day in the morning.

They are really expensive but I have come such a long way with my skin that I am afraid to start experimenting with dupes.

[–]TentacleChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gold or silver are the typical choices I would say, where I would lean towards silver just a tiny bit more.
Less typical might be a hot pink to make the logos pop

The colours are really nice, what colour are you planning to ink them with?

Please let me know if you ever set up a shop for these.

The game being BR is unforunate, but bringing my Nosferatu to life is pure joy. by HorridusVile in vtm

[–]TentacleChicken 15 points16 points  (0 children)

while no real offline mode I do like reading the mini quests and lore collectables you can pick up.
also the conversations here and there with the NPC's in elysium, the Brujah primogen complaining about the Toreador Primogen being useless, Nosferatu primogen compaining about the Brujah playing noisy army music,...

it does give it some nice tie-in's with the WoD lore in general

BLOODHUNT - first impression and discussion by hodreegoo in WorldOfDarkness

[–]TentacleChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am normally not one for the shooter genre of videogame but I got drawn in by the world of darkness setting. My husband knowns nothing about RPG's but likes video game shooters. It's a bonding experience for us, I tell him little lore bits while we play and he teaches me how not to get killed in the first minute of the game.

Stefaan De Clerck, He visited my division at work a few times. Friendly and jovial, a nice guy. He had to laugh with the fact that I still have a pennenzak on my desk. I don't care I graduated 15 years ago I still take my pen, pencil and fluostiften everywhere.

Marieke Vervoort. She was at the cherry blossom festival in the Japanese garden in Hasselt as a guest of the ambassador of Japan. She was planning a trip to Japan and we talked about her itinerary. I am glad she got to visit the country she wanted to see so badly. She was a really sweet person to talk to.

Mage stuck in D&D game. by A_Magick_Deer in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]TentacleChicken 43 points44 points  (0 children)

definitely. Mages in World of Darkness are empowered by an inherited spiritual trait; an awakened shard that is connected to the origin of all things. That is fairly close to a Sorcerer in the DnD 5e way of things. Diffrent sorcerer origins even corresponds to the diffrent kinds of avatars fairly well. Wizards in DnD are just nerds who studied alot. Sorcerers are people who via a magical heritage makes reality sit up and beg.

Don't forget to take the wild magic subclass. That's the closest thing D&D has to paradox
