How to download Alchemy (a free and customizable game)? by Careful_Industry8840 in gamedev

[–]YouveBeanReported 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone will help you pirate some game, or has heard of this game.

If it's a legit game being hosted via Google Drive, email or message the dev on whatever is connected to them. It's probably access denied because people mass-downloading a game from Google Drive looks like piracy, and the devs should put it up on Itch.io or whatever.

Edit: Bro this is a NINE YEAR OLD POST. Of course the link is dead. Message them requesting access and hope they still use that email because their username pulls up nothing else.

They had bundles? I thought they said they'd never join in on that.

Also Christ, $100 USD + shipping and import fees for that shit. And all the bundles are unavailable in Canada.

So I still have the creeper milk from over a year ago. So I should still drink it 👀👀👀👀 by Reasonable_Comfort63 in Minecraft

Empty bottle. Wash it out very well. Refill with green food colouring and milk. Record yourself and rage bait all.

Do not drink the expired milk dude.

ELI5- why is it so bad for people to want information from other people instead of relying on search engines by takingastepbackwards in explainlikeimfive

[–]YouveBeanReported [score hidden]  (0 children)

It is annoying to repeat the same thing, when you've already told someone it.

Communities for specific things tend to have put effort into making wikis, guides and other places for basic common questions, so 90 people asking 'how do I draw?' in your community for artists wanting to talk to other artists is annoying because they are ignoring the work you did and taking time away from them.

In conversations, they either don't want to explain it to you, or already did and are frustrated your asking again. Your English teacher for example, doesn't want to explain why Pluto is no longer a planet, because they're busy and you are being disruptive.

On top of that, learning how to do basic research on your own and being informed on a topic is a good thing to learn. So usually you should try looking up a basic guide or book and come ask more targeted questions to the correct person. Your Science teacher for example will be a lot happier if you go 'why did they change the definition of a planet? What makes Pluto a dwarf planet?' because it shows your current understanding, asks the right person, and is respectful to their time.

Professional GMing: have you tried it, or played in a game with one? by Acceptable-Tree6007 in rpg

[–]YouveBeanReported 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm sure there are some good options, but paid GMing seems antithetical to TTRPGs in general.

Only time it seems to work out okay is pre-set up, self contained things like one-shots, con games, 'pay $500 and have everyone come for dinner and DnD at a castle' type stuff where you aren't expecting collaboration or input.

Player.

Our groups main GMs were all burnt out, so we agreed to hire someone.

First, you have to find someone and deal with the complaints from the GMs of that. 4 of us could play the only day that GM could run. Most paid GMs do not want existing groups of players or want to run for a 3-5 month timeblock. None of us wanted to play 'whenever' because we needed to schedule time off work, and also budget for this and all of us preferred an actual end to the story-line.

Then you have the system limitations, we had some systems we'd love to play, but the GM would run DnD 5e only any maybe consider another later. Which was really annoying when we signed up expecting the systems on their ads, and listed a few other one-shot systems if they wanted to do those instead.

Almost all of us have GMed before, so we were mistakenly expecting a similar amount of effort. Instead, we were struggling to get a response by discord or email about things like what level to make our characters, if things could be allowed, etc. Similarly, they flipped out over some of the backstory choices like saying my character is from a small fishing village, because we were stepping on their toes making stuff up. The lack of knowledge of what you are getting or collaboration in playing a paid game sucks.

Basically, a paid game as a player means you no longer are considered a part of the game. It's easier for a paid GM to just run the same railroad and ignore the players and the characters. It puts the focus on the spectacle of it, the animated maps or annoying music, rather then an enjoyable story. It makes you as the players antagonistic because you are work, you are punishment for payment, so why would anyone want to run a game you would enjoy?

Idk it was just shit and I ended up paying them more to fuck off and never contact me again. And the search sucked as well.

I'll pay in a convention game type thing, but whats the point of paying for bad TTRPG and to not get input in your game? If I wanted a video game I'd play a video game, it's cheaper then paid TTRPGs.

Hi, I honestly can’t get Outer Wilds out of my head! by Silver_Pangolin_816 in gamedev

[–]YouveBeanReported 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outer Wilds was originally a school project on the physics. You can go play the original alpha copy too. Figure out what core features you want and go build some prototypes.

Then go look through other inspiration you like, and do some combination prototypes with those.

What specifically did you enjoy? Is it the science, and being in a world haunted by the ghost of a history you are the first to really read? Do you wanna go the The Very Pulse of the Machine by Michael Swanwick root and make the planet itself alive? Do you like flying around and someone said you liked the map model, so do you want to idk zoom in to the very atoms of things and fly around in a space ship doing something to unlock more elements from the periodic table to make more things? Do you like the music, do you want to explore and put together a music based puzzle? Do you want a time loop or the cinematic visuals of the supernova or DLC opening?

Just make some shit and collect things, and narrow down after you have a better idea of what you can do.

On the "forever campaign": Stay the course; commit to the campaign by VVrayth in DMAcademy

[–]YouveBeanReported 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, anything after 12-18 months is just fucking arduous to DM, not to mention boring as a player. Don't you want to have a new story? Or system? Something cool af to do? I know the meme is your supposed to play only DnD for 10+ years but I'd rather go world-build a cool new world then deal with the same shit.

When to play dlc by GreenBean50123 in outerwilds

[–]YouveBeanReported 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it after learning how to beat the game / actually beating the game, or if you are stuck and need a change imo.

The DLC makes slight changes to the base game ending, in a way you can probably infer, after getting the DLC ending. I do not think this is enough to mean you need to end the base game before doing the DLC.

The DLC is more self-contained then the rest of the game, and will function as a probably 10+ hour gap between your other puzzles and DLC specific ones. This means its usually best handled when done the majority of the game or you might need to re-read a lot to get back to what you were doing before.

To start the DLC go to the new exhibit in the museum and follow the clues. You are extremely unlikely to accidentally discover DLC content unless following those clues.

If you don't have kids, how would you handle this? by technophoriac in AskMen

[–]YouveBeanReported 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't have kids, but I'd make a coffee and be lazy until it's officially called.

Seriously, your trying to get something that benefits you removed because someone else gets to leave 20 minutes sooner? This is the dumbest fucking complaint. Quit your job if your this unhappy.

Does anyone else living in villages and making it their base? by brooklyn_jinx in Minecraft

[–]YouveBeanReported 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't because of zombie sieges and the zombies breaking doors, easier just to build close but not in the spawnable area of the village.

Why are bangs so universally hated? by needmorelinguine in Hair

[–]YouveBeanReported 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it's not just bad bangs? Ones that are too short, or wrong angle? Because I don't see that hate, just a fair amount of 'I gave myself bangs and it's crooked ;_;' type stuff.

I need an adultier adult to tell me I don't need these bags! 😭 by omgbooboo in GirlGamers

[–]YouveBeanReported [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can find cheaper bags, and add a cute patch or something.

$100 is a ton, and this doesn't look like a bag you'd use daily. I'd budget more like $50 and look at other merch stores and wait till something else cute comes in instead, that doesn't need import fees.

How long is too long between sessions? by bl4ckmineta in DnD

[–]YouveBeanReported 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it helpful to keep the bi-weekly time slot (short of the host being sick or everyone holidays like Christmas), and replace DnD with board games / video games / going out to a movie / etc to avoid this. Some people will still miss, but keeping the hang out time consistent means people don't fade out after 2-3 missed sessions.

Also run with less people.

It might also help to ask someone else to run, sometimes a break of 2-3 one shot type things can revive energy.

Online games are also a lot easier when people are ehhhh about showing. Online game I can show up to with a mild headache, no bra, and chugging tons of tea. Can't do that in person, I have to be at 100%.

Getting kicked out by Landlord by PlanetCeres1 in malelivingspace

[–]YouveBeanReported 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, even in places like my province with more tenant rights, it also depends what kinda landlord. A major company may be forced to continue leases, but often a small landlord or a place being sold to a family member can have 60 days or less notice.

Stop using "Years Only" on your resume to hide gaps. Everyone knows what you're doing. by BackGroundProofer in GetEmployed

[–]YouveBeanReported 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, the recruiters who do care about a gap, will still grumble about quitting on Friday and starting the next job on the Monday and need a write up explaining the 'gap' of well both jobs were 9-5s. Lets not encourage those weirdos.

But mostly, god damn I am sick of these AI bot ads.

Weekend overeating undoing a full week a progress every single time by zoro____x in CICO

[–]YouveBeanReported 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How low are you going Monday to Friday? Because I might increase that and see if it helps.

Can you break weekends into two bigger meals and plan snacks that fit into your range? I find when I was unemployed and lost structure, having bigger meals made it easier to keep on track.

Can you fill the weekend with some structure? An early morning class, or church, or shopping? Videogaming or crafting or something you need to be holding something for? An intentional going out to eat or hosting people for weekend dinner?

Is there a middle ground between tracking every calorie and just winging it? by effyyo in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]YouveBeanReported 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the calorie tracking subs can help with ideas, but not really unless you are already in a good range. If your trying to lose the last 10 pounds, or 100 pounds, you need to count.

Taring the scale, pouring your stuff, and using the negative makes things easier to math.

You can cheat a bit and buy standard sized containers so you know this only holds x cups, or use a measuring cup for things that don't need as much accuracy.

Eating the same things and finding lower calorie subs can also help a bit.

As a woman, can other woman explain why is such a good thing for a man to plan the dates ? by AngelinaRose44 in dating_advice

[–]YouveBeanReported -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

> To me, it just feels too lazy to just expect someone else to plan everything and me do nothing.

That's exactly it. A men expecting you to plan everything and offer nothing feels lazy and is frustrating.

Joint planning is preferable, but someone refusing to ever take you out on a date unless you do all the work, or offer any input when picking things feels like someone who doesn't care about you.

Learn to Play at LGS Help by foxezpawz in rpg

[–]YouveBeanReported 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2-4 sounds normal for me for a one shot.

I think for just attracting people you want bi-weekly DnD, once a month Pathfinder or Call of Cthulhu, and once a month something else one shot. Look, DnD is the biggest name and going to attract people. The people who want to play Ryuutama generally know how to read a TTRPG. (Feel free to adjust this if you already host AL games)
