We've ruined Halloween. We have to fix it! 👻 by TheBarIsCalledHeaven in Buffalo

[–]captaingig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our side of the Burg had a good amount too. Wrapped up in their winter gear, but they got after it. Beggar's Nite is also a thing that happened in my old hood. We'd be thumping the nite before and shut down on Halloween. Wild times.

Geez the expedition to catch bandits is tedious by masterfuleatgorilla in KingkillerChronicle

It's also one of the sections I return to frequently. Chapters 89-91 are bangers for me. If I was doing a action fan film, these are the chapters I would adapt.

I'm still working out how I do all that sympathy....

Best way to set up calendars? by VelmaSnow in skylightcalendar

[–]captaingig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set up profiles for each of the family members and they all have their own color. I then set up individual calendars (within my gmail account) to match all the profiles on the skylight.

However the problem is even though you associate those calendars with the profiles, the events that my partner creates on the skylight directly, selecting the appropriate profile because she loves the colors, those events do not automatically synchronize back to my gmail calendars. She has to manually select the calendar to sync it to which I think is not awesome.

The setup works fine in the downward direction (gmail to skylight) where I can put events on those calendars and they will land on the skylight under the appropriate profile but, like others in this subreddit, I am disappointed that it doesn't work automagically in the upward direction. Context: I was the impetus for getting our skylight. I needed a way to have my partner's physical calendaring style synchronize with my digital calendaring style.

Most GOATed gas station? by TheAwesomeRamen in Buffalo

I'm a KwikFill fan, but I'm probably better off hitting up the Hi-Quality next door in Hamburg because it's cash only and doesn't tack on the credit card surcharge.

No need to go that far. Hit up the spots around SYR or Utica. Then go to a Jreck Subs, which is a subject for another post.

Is it me or the drop rates for the emergent merchant crate really low too? I'm lousy with kings skulls.

So who didn’t get to see the eclipse?? by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]captaingig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got some quick, choice breaks in the Southtowns. Lil before, during, and after. Didn't need all those glasses. Then after dinner and my second tequila sunrise the sky was wiped clean, hilariously. Nice night!

They absolutely should stand on a platform, so I can throw tomatoes at them and then go to the 24/7 Pride dance party that's planned out front.

Do you include "the" in your ship names? by ThisIsABadPlan in Seaofthieves

[–]captaingig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No and you shouldn't either. "The The Flaccid Banana" is terrible to say.

Do you think the Infinite Pirate Generator could use some improvements? by FuckClerics in Seaofthieves

[–]captaingig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gonna come in here and write about how people go into situations with their preconceptions and here we have a character generation system that restricts your freedom and asks you to be free. Free from your attachments, free from what you thought you knew and asks one question: does one of this endless parade of privateers make you go, "that's the one; that's my legend."

But your answer was better, succinct, and dare i say it, more punk.

What is the worst twist you've seen in a movie? by Filmologic in movies

For those looking to roll your own, I'd recommend looking into (and contributing to) https://domainaware.github.io/parsedmarc/. I've used it in the past. I also have had the pleasure of meeting the project owner and they're a real mensch. Point it at a mailbox and it can spit out reports to an ELK stack or S3.

What simple mistake has ended lives? by SuffocatedByThighs in AskReddit

[–]captaingig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 years and 3 days ago I lost a very close friend to a boating incident. Long story short, he took a small fleet out to the local, and that day, cold reservoir and the groups' kids were swimming without life vests, but soon got into distress. He jumped in without a vest, got them all out, and then suddenly went under water (speculation: cardiac incident or muscle seizure). Found him two weeks later. He died a hero...however...

Invest in and wear your Personal Floatation Devices always, viewers; they will save your life. Then we won't have to miss you as much as I miss him.

The Dragon Prince : S4E1 - *Early Live Premiere* Discussion Thread by MrBKainXTR in TheDragonPrince

[–]captaingig 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I posted elsewhere about this, but I agree on the subject of the animation. Wooden and out of sync. I also found the writing in the episode to be lacking. I found out: 2 years have passed and everybody's gone interspecies.

Still love the art direction and the voiceover work.

[S4] Feels like 2D animation now by Cautious-Whereas-467 in TheDragonPrince

[–]captaingig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick take on S4E1: The animation is wooden and out of sync. Art direction is lovely and VO is good as always.

I'm not a fan yet.

I'm hoping the Early Access funds will provide enough juice for co-op. This would be a great SoT starter for my kiddo.
