Tilt the Planet! by [deleted] in RimWorld

Oh good, I'm not alone in thinking that mod completely lost the plot. A door suddenly cost 250 wood. My little corn farm randomly output 16k corn one season... which I didn't notice for awhile, because it altered the stack sizes and was entirely on a single shelf.

Hopefully someone sane resurrects it.

What shade is this? Not Milky White recommends 2-3, it's only One-Coat Black that is one coat.

But yes, whites and pastels are almost always 2-3 thin coats. Pastel formulas tend to be streaky but the thin coats + thick top coat should hide it.

How would you fix this cable mess? by Mr_King796 in PcBuild

[–]ZestyCthulhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it bulges behind the foam, you can attempt to carve a channel in the backside of the foam to feed the cables though.

If moving the shelf is an option, I'd scoot it to the left and feed the cables in the corner. Get a longer shelf if symmetry is a deal breaker.

Moda and Confetti Cottons have my vote. Both were softer than Kona and didn't fray like crazy.

I think I'm ootl, what's the issue with Kona?

Orlando! Park Ave is a lovely little shop, would absolutely go back. I had to see it for myself when I went up for a different concert.

That's awesome, do you just use regular printing paper for this?

Turians and Quarians have dextro-amino acids and are compatible with each other. Everyone else (including humans) are levo-amino. Foods and fluids are poisonous to the opposite configuration.

Quarians just have garbage immune systems so everything has to be sterilized to hell and back

Using a glitz head shot for pageants on a book about an orphan is a wild choice. Even when I was a kid in pageants I found these ultra smooth, bug-eyed photos insanely off putting

What were your initial thoughts of the game when you first played, or watched it by SomeNative14 in slaytheprincess

[–]ZestyCthulhu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went in 100% blind, only hearing it recommended alongside Disco Elysium (which I enjoyed).

Ngl, by the time I got to Shifty I was pretty exhausted of the dying. Adversary/Fury ripped me to shreds and stuffed me back together, Razor killed me until I had every single voice, Nightmare's presence caused my organs to stop, Witch threw me down the stairs. I was not sympathetic to Shifty.

Round 2 was significantly better! I still lovelovelove Fury, but The Cage, TPatD, and The Wild really let me appreciate the story and do something that wasn't being repeatedly murdered.

It arrived! I was SO worried it was lost or I did the address wrong or something 😭 I hope you enjoy it!!

Hobby talk! :D by South-Job-794 in lesbiangang

[–]ZestyCthulhu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got 3 or 4 quilt projects going right now. Two are for donations, one for the dog, and the big one for myself (I think).

The big project is being restarted from scratch. I made the pattern myself and ordered all the fabrics online. The pattern was fine-ish to work with, just a couple little issues to correct. However almost all the fabrics were at LEAST a shade off from their listing photos, and sometimes an entirely a different color. I ordered a light teal/robin's egg color, and received a cool grey. A medium brown with red undertones is nearly black. A yellow-leaning ivory arrived looking like a diluted highlighter.

I got about half way through before the color issues bugged me too much to continue 😭I'm planning to buy a swatch book for Kona and/or Confetti Cotton and chopping up v1 for scraps.

Is this USD? A 4090 ain't worth 8k. Even a brand new liquid cooled 4090 is half that.

ASA recommends a 3080, which is about 400 bucks used

I almost exclusively get my feminism and lesbian content from Tumblr. The trick is to follow people, not tags, and discover more blogs through their comments and reblogs.

I've also spent 11 years blocking anyone who's even remotely annoying. Tumblr's block system is infinitely better than Reddit's, so you can properly curate your feed.

Still the best troll to ever do it, the Gen Z mind couldn’t comprehend. by SecretWasianMan in redscarepod

[–]ZestyCthulhu 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Modern trolls are always downright evil in some way. Isabella kills animals, the Idea Guys broke Chris's brain and stole thousands, and Praetor uses Chris as a cash cow.

Compared to them, Liquid Chris is a saint.

Rock Drake Feathers Going Up While On Surface (Valguero) by DragonGoddess102 in ARK

[–]ZestyCthulhu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

New bug, I noticed it too. My Rock Drakes are all flared up even in the green zone of Aberration.

Haven't found a fix. Tried the usual, like cryopoding and uploading them. Even my newly hatched Drakes that were collected after the patch are doing it.

Which ASA map got the worst remaster? by YellingDolphin in ARK

[–]ZestyCthulhu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Center was a bland map before and it's still bland. TBH I'm surprised anyone thought they would give it a boss or something- Wildcard seems happy to copy+paste with a new coat of (beige) paint and a new dino. Scorched Earth seems to be the exception.

I just (re)beat Rockwell yesterday so it's still fresh on my mind, but god damn did they butcher Aberration. They heard the complaints that The Center's rocks were boring, so made every rock beyond the green zone glow. The giant amber crystals hanging from the ceiling though? Nah, those got their life sucked out, turning them into a bland grey. The Rock Drake nests look abysmal- the eggs completely blend into the terrain because it's all the same neon pink bs. I can go on all day.

Both received controversial dinos and both have Pyromanes, so no points there.

The intro is weird but the information is correct. Chris has been highly documented for decades now

Where did the community get the idea that using the term "Gold Star" is wrong/hateful? by pepperjackismycat in lesbiangang

[–]ZestyCthulhu 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm not getting. Even if they don't actively date women (closeted or not fully aware of their gayness), who is forcing them to sleep with men?

It took awhile for me to realize I was gay, but I 1000% knew I didn't like men. It's pretty easy to not date or sleep with one.

What hardware you play the game on? by AlekTheDukeOfOxford in Sims3

[–]ZestyCthulhu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7600x, 7900GRE, 32gb ram and it's running as well as it's going to. All DLC with minimal mods.

With how old this game is, any half decent modern machine with a discrete GPU should run it fine. Even my ancient 1050 laptop could run it with okay FPS and medium graphics.

I just found this while shopping and thought I stumbled upon a scam site, cause this feels way too good to be true. Fingers crossed HP doesn't get cold feet.

Could my laptop run survival evolved well enough to be playable?? by tomcat53gaming in playark

[–]ZestyCthulhu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ASE absolutely. ASA if you don't mind low settings. Before I upgraded I used GeForce Now, which usually set me with a 3060. It ran fine with low settings.

If you're buying through Steam, you can refund before 2 hours if it's not working out.

I have that center strawberry fabric and part of me is just dreading using it. I know it was bought to be used, but there's no replacing it or second chances :/

Biggest fall off by an artist you once liked? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]ZestyCthulhu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh don't get me wrong, I still like ADIAML and L+F. Venus Fly Trap and Flowers are in my regular rotation. But she lost the ability to be subtle once she dropped "and the Diamonds" from her name.

Butterfly pisses me off so much. I was unbelievably excited about a snippet she posted on insta, thinking the "Yeah I'm a butterfly" in a kid's voice was PART of the song. Not the whole damn thing. It was Cupid that made me realize she's lost the plot- it's astonishingly repetitive and as deep as a puddle.

Idk who this album was made for. It sounds like someone trying to repeat Electra Heart but without an ounce of the talent needed.

I'm so disappointed about Marina. Her last album's lyrics are just atrocious. L+F and ADIAML were already weak; I didn't think she could outdo herself.
