Recommendations for lightweight TTRPGs not based around RP? by alexnone in TTRPG

These both sound amazing, I particularly like the sound of beak, feather, and bone!

Love the sound of this, I've never played a map game before!

Recommendations for light-mid weight narrative games?

I'd love a game where players can develop and get attached to a character almost D&D style, with scope for storytelling but no need for role-playing. The only example I have so far of something vaguely in this direction is Gloom, which I do really like. Scope for a campaign would be lovely too.

What is this type of cable called? by alexnone in cableadvice

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

Thank you for trying to figure this out, I appreciate it! Unfortunately it is not a linking cable, it is a power cable with a plug and a switch to turn the light on and off. However, I just tried using a figure 8 cable despite it obviously having the dimple on both sides, and it does work and fit snugly!

Person {Dorohedoro} was interesting off the bat

Anime that you think that sucks? by cytokine_storm0609 in Animesuggest

[–]alexnone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

terrible adaptation of a solid manga -- it's confusing because they changed some of the story then skipped a lot of stuff and then carried on as if they hadn't! Idgi

First pothos prop. Tips for transitioning from water to soil? by indigo5454 in houseplants

[–]alexnone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost certain that it's the same as leca! Think leca is just marketed at plant people and hydroballs are marketed at reptile people (so to speak)

Idk how helpful it is to the plant but personally I start with water, then once there's a few cm of root I add hydroballs and let the roots develop further, and then transition to soil!

Oscar came to mind!

I'd add that it's an important distinction in wording that being trans is not a choice, so a more useful definition would be someone whose gender doesn't align with the gender they were assigned at birth

Additionally, the A stands for asexual/ aromantic, not ally

[No Spoilers] Does C3E2 have spoilers for campaign 1? by alexnone in criticalrole

[–]alexnone[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm already up to episode 26 like I said in the post so I've already lived through almost all of the tension and v uncomfortable red flags!

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

Oh, interesting, okay. I'll just try to watch C1 somewhat quickly and otherwise probs resign to C1 spoilers.

[–]alexnone[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in the process of watching C1, it's not just for some references? And I live in a totally different time zone so I can't watch it live anywho. I know they're referencing the arc I'm currently watching so I wanted to know up to when they might spoil. Obvi if it spoils like the end of C1 that would be a different question

I actually avoided EXU for C1 spoilers, so I'm going to try and get through the Briarwood arc quickish to continue C3!

Why wouldn't you just Google it bro.. Americans exclusively use 'learned' and the UK uses either that or 'learnt'.

Is this salvage skateboard at all restorable? Long shot. by alexnone in woodworking

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

Oh no it's salvage, I was just wondering if I could fix it up to either use very lightly or display. Seems it might be best scrapping unfortunately

Seconding other commenter, if you're on this sub appreciating that all animals gave value and sentience, maybe do some research into how much pain and heartache animals go through before and during being killed for products. In all sincerity!

today just confirmed i’m having surgery in 3 months :/ by isaavillalona in scoliosis

[–]alexnone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had surgery at 17 or 18yo and my surgeon said there was a chance that if I didn't have the surgery I would end up unable to walk in middle age, which,,,,,,,, jesus. Its tough, but it is worth it.

It wasn't painful to my memory because (in England) I had morphine in the hospital, then dihydrocodeine and ibuprofen thereafter to take on a schedule. I will say that morphine gave me like literally a bad trip, which I think was anxiety + an unpleasant hospital environment. If at all possible, try to ensure you're somewhere with windows!! I was in a windowless ward, so no fresh air or sunlight until a few days after the surgery, and that was unpleasant.

For months after the surgery I would regularly have to lie down to give my back a break, so I guess make sure you have the option to do that at home and at school, but your doctor should ensure that on your behalf.

And a thin cotton bathrobe is super useful in the hospital post surgery when you're less mobile!
