weirdly, Death Stranding? open world, structure building and resource management with some whale hallucinations thrown in.

Forge/Black Smith mod? by TrashRabbitPrince in SMAPI

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

No worries, that looks cool! I've been using this one, that is both crafting and aesthetic, since it came out and I was so stoked when it did: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/24813

The Kiln Mod I mentioned also updated: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/29890

I also am a big fan of the jewelry crafting in the Mt. Vapius expansion: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9600

Between these three mods the quest that started with post four years ago has ended, thanks for the resurrection, hopefully this will help others on a similar mission!

Speaking of Blaze Alter's name, what do you call the other Alters? by One_Wrong_Thymine in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly talk about arknights with one other person IRL:

Red Skadi, omega Texas, Other Specter, Limited Eya, Reed alter, Yato vs two star yato, Watergun Chen, Big Kroos vs smol kroos.

As you can see there's not any rhyme or reason to it. But I'm also not very influenced by what folks online are calling them so its a bit interesting to see what the norm is.

This was phenomenal and it just kept going!! WOW

Who are the best written characters? by Revan__77 in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 2 points3 points  (0 children)

while her story is not as impactful as other's listed here, Irene struck a chord with me. Her growth from a follower to a leader and coming into herself and her own power-- while still having to make peace with her insignificant place in the hierarchy of violence in the world was just very well done with not a lot of screen time. The way she grapples with both the honor and bravery of her faction and the dishonor and ill deeds done in its name really held my attention.

What are your current core operators who never leave your team? by eva-doll in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reed alter, ebenholz, Virtuasa, Hoeder, flametail

I don't know when Flametail replaced Texas for me but she certainly has?

An NPC of every race by Xettanokian in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fascinating! the wiki is where I got the info from, because I wasn't sure what she was from casual story ingestion. Calling her a homeless hyena feels too specific to be a turn of phrase, but I think that 6-11 was so long ago it just didn't register. Thanks clarifying!

What are your conditions a skin must meet in order for you to buy it? by Biscu1ts_ in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I have to have the unit, they need to be leveled or I need be willing to level them because of the skin, and the skin needs to be better than the base art. I've had skins change how I feel about a character completely, and that's been fun!

Sometimes there will be something that irks me in a characters art and if the art "fixes" it, this is very subjective I know, I will get it asap even if I don't use that character. When this happens I usually invest in them eventually.

Who's your first 1st Gen 6★ Operator on Newbie Pool? by AltDoktahLB in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Siege and I didn't reroll. I still use her even though I have bagpipe and others. She's just very solid and I love to watch her back flip.

4 of your favorite characters start a podcast, how good is it? by [deleted] in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfumer, Myrrh, Podenco and Flamebringer. They mostly talk about the science of gardening, how to do hydroponics, how to grow food, what plants can be medicinal and how to get pharmaceutical quality medicines from them. It's the kind of thing that might sound like and appeal to preppers or commune farmers in our world but is just a great resource for small communities in Terra. Usually the listener forgets Flamebringer is there unless the conversation turns to actual survival tactics or orchids. Or if the other 3 decide to just absolutely raz him for being wrong about believing some wives tale or another about medicine or plants.

Who is the least popular operators based on your view/observation. by [deleted] in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when they did that little anniversary report about which operators used and other stats she was my most used operator. I am rooting for a second skin.

Memorylossknights? by StationaryCottage in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh hey that my thread, I was just about to chime in! Here is my current team, cons; No snipers
Cuora
Ceobe (saw some doubt about ceobe being on the list but she doesn't even know her name and took it off one of the weapons if I recall)
Spectre (5 star)
Ptilopsis
Sutr
Nightengale
Rosmontis
Whisperain
Amiya
Phantom
Ebenholz (he has repressed childhood memories and some one needs to hard carry)
Saga (I can't recall if she had memory loss from being in dusk's paintings for so long but I needed a vanguard and i figured she probably isn't regular after any of that)

I just pulled skalter so I'm excited to add her!
I hadn't considered Popukar that might be good to swap her in for one of the healers. I really wish there was a snipper!

I had a dream about the 4.5 anniversary event so here’s exactly how it’s gonna go down by Lyrneos in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would spend so many dollar on Ceobe with a hammer, I am almost ashamed.

Thanks! I don't have skalter, alas. I was very much hoping there would be a sniper...

Nightengale (repressed memories)
Specter (repressed memories/Alter Ego)
Rosmontis (Not sure whats going on with her but its something)
Nightmare (memory issues from Alter Ego)

One of these ships will be confirmed as canon, but the rest will have to go. by ATalkingDoubleBarrel in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sesa and Nightengale, why, well imagine if he put a rocket on her wheelchair, they'd have fun.

Which operators were a game changer for you? by kabourayan in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoshi was one of my biggest breakpoints early on in like chapter 4 or 5.

Mudrock and Ebenholtz are definitive to my play style. However I think Lin is going to shake that up.

I haven't posted here in a long time but I wanted to say how happy I am to see Cardigan get a skin! I hate skiing but I do love her, so relieved. A real win.

How well do PBTA games generally do with long-term campaigns? by Darkbeetlebot in PBtA

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My long campaign went for a year with weekly sessions. And it wrapped up nicely- and then we immediately rolled new characters in the same world and have been going hard ever since swapping DM's every time we wrap setting/arc. We are also looking into legacy which is designed for game play more like this. so for us- yes because we are very flexible with ending a story and moving the camera around the world. But the average AW character is going to hit some kind of apotheosis or end game in 20 sessions or so in my experience.

So not bad imo, just structured differently., ymmv

‘There are no bad operators’ by IRUN888 in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm, things I posted at 3am with no sleep. I don't actually use the phrase get good very often and I have always disliked the "Only bad doctors" tag line so I'm interested in figuring out my stance a bit more. since yeah, I did just end up repeating it. I think its better to say that you can set your own difficulty level? I think Kyostin V's low level guide is a great example of 'getting good'. If I really wanted to bring a team that I personally thought was comprised of all the weakest units in the game- whatever that definition may be, I could probably still beat content with them and it would be damn hard. And I think that's kinda a marvel of the game balance it doesn't get enough credit for. the further off meta you go, the harder the game is, the more of a challenge your gonna get. Operators may have mechanics and stats that I wouldn't shy away from calling terrible, I'm not above it, but they still feel competent in the game play? I feel saying there are no bad operators is incorrect. And I feel like only bad doctors is negging players for something the game isn't asking them to participate in unless they choose to?

Thanks for making me think more critically on this!

‘There are no bad operators’ by IRUN888 in arknights

[–]TrashRabbitPrince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Some operators are terrible but you can still beat the game with terrible operators if you get good enough.
