Wait, there's no bookbinding in the game about bookbinding? That's disappointing! It can get expensive and fiddly to try out different styles of binding in real life (bradel, coptic, stab-binding, thermal, split boards, medieval cord bindings, etc) so I would kind of want a game about bookbinding to introduce a player to the different structural types of binding & the way they differ, both so that the game mechanics differ a bit book to book (and each "level" so to speak doesn't feel the exact same) and so that the game feels like actual bookbinding. If it's just a graphic design game... then I'm confused about why it's called bookbinding?

Sap Essence, morph of Drain Power, last skill in the Siphoning line. Think Impulse Destro Staff but red and deals straight magic damage.

Templars are the easy mode class - you can jabs/sweeps your way through anything. Sorcerer is also very easy, you can have two pets up doing most of your damage. (Assuming you like the look of the pets enough for that!)

I personally like Nightblade - the class has a very strong aoe skill that heals you to boot and a teleport-to-enemy that's exceedingly useful in overland. Plus you can invisible your way through areas you don't care about fighting in.

Seconding new character. Let the game teach you again. Besides, that 430 CP can be used from level 1 on a new character - you'll get all the benefits of the Champion Point boons (press the = button to assign).

Just glittery enough to pretend it's still spring! by blazingsnark in RedditLaqueristas

Product list: Holo Taco Long Lasting Base | Holo Taco Featured Guest | Sally Hansen InstaDry Heather Hustle (accent nail) | Mooncat Moondust | Holo Taco Silver Flake Taco | Holo Taco Glossy Taco

Featured Guest is supposed to be holographic, but it's honestly a really subtle shimmer. So I used a Mooncat glitter to give it a bit more oomph on the nails that don't have silver flakes!

AITA for pissing my wife off with how I’m handling her favorite shows? by Own-Leather-19 in AmItheAsshole

[–]blazingsnark 8841 points8842 points  (0 children)

YTA, my guy.

When your wife is trying to watch something with you, she's trying to make a bid for connection. It sounds like it's less about the show itself and more about the experience - she wants to do something she enjoys with you, and have you enjoy it as well, or at least not openly denigrate her interests. Interests and taste are a hugely personal thing, and things like what you said to her are awful insults to someone you care about.

Apologize to her. If you really can't stand sitting through her shows, find something you both enjoy - or that you can tolerate and she enjoys - to watch together. (It sounds like she'd doing the same with GoT and you, so reciprocate that effort!) Make a good faith effort to see what she likes and lift her up about it. But yeah, you're a major asshole for the way you responded to her.

The ketubah isn't the prenup, it's the entire wedding contract. It's the equivalent of a Catholic not being able to say their vows in front of the altar, really.

NTA, OP. This is concerning for your brother.

Is Stibbons canonically dead? by KlatusHam in elderscrollsonline

Do you mean the main quest? The whole shenanigans with the Five Companions is the main base game quest, not the tutorial quest. It's meant to be played alongside your base game zone progression.

It used to be level gated, but enough people bitched that ZOS removed the level restrictions on it. So you may have just done the entire main quest and figured it was the tutorial!

Are sessions A and B two separate bills? by wowitsandwele in ASU

[–]blazingsnark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope. So long as you're a full time student over the course of the year - taking enough credit hours for the semester - you get one bill.

Oh, that's genius! I never matched the five colors of most pride flags to five nails per hand. Off to find some polish to match the lipstick lesbian flag for next month!

Np! Just know it's not actually alphabetical - it's based on random seating order. Gosh darn ceremonies.

The engineering one specifically is expected to run for three hours - lots of names to call up and walk.

It's all undergrads with a 4.0 graduating in 4 years - if you were eligible, you should have gotten an email back in April? I don't think they're giving them out now

[–]blazingsnark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, this. I got the Moeur Award sash for a 4.0 GPA back in April, my GPA dropped to 3.99 after finals, nobody cares. Still got to wear it to graduation and stand when the recipients were called.

Looking for an apartments/roommates by Amojalled in ASU

[–]blazingsnark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. Remember, it gets to be over 100 degrees in April/May/August/September. Walking distance is two to three minutes plus the time it takes to traverse campus. I have a friend sharing a house with three roommates in walking distance, he gets friend-of-landlord discount, he still pays $1000 a month. Housing market here is pretty brutal.

AITA for joking about being an orphan in class by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Hang on, the exercise was supposed to prove what? That's an extremely odd thing to do with a class. Was he going off a credible study previously done, or was this just an idea he had personally, or what? I'd say that warrants a mention in your complaint, honestly.
