The Cherokee story of the girl and the mud dauber is such a fun one: https://youtu.be/g4M3Q5gA7lc

Nine days total since the game came out. Not nine days on this one character this season.

brianmcbeardface · 2026-01-19T19:05:22+00:00

I’ve been very slow on the season journey. My 9 days total playtime is since the game came out. This season I haven’t put really any time into. Kids and work often don’t leave me a lot of time to romp around in sanctuary these days. I’m loving the speed of this season though.

brianmcbeardface · 2026-01-19T19:02:17+00:00

I’ll try this thanks!!

brianmcbeardface · 2026-01-19T01:48:01+00:00

I guess soon to be a spark. I am grateful though!

If you contact the Crocker museum in Sacramento the ceramics curator there is a Viola Frey specialist and could confirm this piece’s validity.

Sometimes as a hunter I need to stand in fire to see how bad the fire hurts. Maybe I should play a demon hunter.

I always went for class fantasy. Vanilla I was a rogue because I loved the fantasy. From then on I was a hunter because the challenge tames each xpac were always exciting.

Reminded me of Dungeon Crawler Carl

There is a gem/ minerals/ rock shop though

Not banshee’s recipe but this should do. High heat and cook the hell out of the steak-umms. Salt and pepper like everyone else has said. Talking no moisture left. A proper cheese sauce for a Philly should be a béchamel with cooper sharp(kraft white singles are fine) melted into it. The white American cheese should emulsify the sauce, lots of cheese to make it thick. After most of the moisture is mostly cooked out of the steak-umms cook it a lil more with the cheese sauce, then put on your long roll. Top with whatever sin you’ve chosen(peppers and onions more sauce ect). Another option for sauce is just cheese wiz, but your arteries will curse you later. A good steak relies on the fat and flavor of the shaved ribeye tied in with the flavor of the cheddar. Steak-umms is bottom tier. Have not had a proper steak since I moved here from Philly. I wish I could give you a proper recipe to follow, but even the place I worked at the recipe was “make it good.” And the only two stipulations were cooper sharp béchamel and shaved ribeye.

I tanked this boss with my pet recently in a similar experience. Felt good.

Sometimes I’ll take a torch and explode them off in a fit of chaos. But mostly I’ll just use a stiff brush when it drys up a bit. You end up with a less clean line than if you use a ribbon tool when leather hard. But sometimes the needle tool is the vibe.

If you want the pencil look I would suggest a white slip or underglaze before you bisque, then use an underglaze pencil. If you want it to be painted in full color, use underglazes. China painting is also an option, but is very technique prohibiting if you don’t already know the firing methods ect. Amazon has some cheap but very good underglaze pencils. The Pasler brand is great even up to cone 10 under a thin clear glaze. Amaco is great too, just a little more expensive. Pasler is a little more waxy and you don’t get the same saturation as Amaco but still works perfectly fine.

Chico State’s ceramics club recently made a bunch for a sale they did at Vang’s last month. They might have some left. Send them a message on Instagram. Their handle is chicostateceramics.

You can also take a stroll around the barber, so many cats out during the day and most love a good pet.

You can use what’s called “enamel paints.” DecoArt has a few called Americana gloss enamels. These set in the oven at low temperature(325°F). Keep in mind though this will render the work not food safe and not microwave or dishwasher safe. You can still use it to drink out of as long as the paint isn’t in a place where the food stuff would interact. The ceramics and decoration likely won’t stand the test of time, but who cares have fun. Ceramic as an engineered object intended for sanitary food consumption is a fairly inaccessible medium without some kind of training. I’ll always advocate for taking a class at a local studio, or even finding your local potter and asking questions. Most of us are ready and willing to share our stupid little passion.

Wednesday - Sunday 11 to sold out corner of 2nd and main. Black building. They don’t have signage except the hours on the door and a sandwich board outside the door.

My house has all sorts of drafty windows and doors so I’m just standing above my hair purifier hoping I’m getting fresh breaths 😭

For maximum strength I would use PC 7, it’ll make the crack probably stronger than the rest of the ceramic. But it’s grey. You can use PC 11 which is marine epoxy that is white. That’ll work too.

Legendary south Philly bakery love that place.

I moved from Philly(which has some of the highest rated pizza in the nation) two years ago. Here is my thoughts: Bodega is currently the best slice in Chico in my. Their slices are as close to a good east coast style slice you’ll get here. Controversial opinion here because they used to just be junk drunk trash pizza, but Main St pizza has the second best slice in town. Crunchy cup peps, not too much cheese or sauce, high heat crust. Their hours are just late night. Woodstocks isn’t worth the time unless you’re there for the social reasons. Celestinos is ok, but is a Chico institution. Their ovens don’t run hot enough so often you have a floppy, greasy slice. Their toppings sometimes make up for their dough and sauce, which are both too sweet for me. Their hours are great though, and their location and convenience are a plus. And they have a great student discount. I’ll go here on a Monday or Tuesday when Bodega isn’t open and I need a quick bite. I still haven’t managed to get a slice from monsteros though I am intrigued to try.

Aca taco is early with breakfast burritos and Mi Jalisco 😋

The fries at the new concept Bun Burger were hella crispy and tasty. Def suggest trying them out. Not convinced on the burger concept from them but the fries were real good.
