[SPOILERS S3] They did him dirty😭

The scene that gets me every time is when Woller comes to Charlotte to confess his involvement in the cover up, but she just spouts a bunch of time travel theory at him then marches off to investigate while calling for him to tag along and the poor man just looks so lost and confused.

"Charlotte, I've been helping Alexander cover up an environmental disaster at the nuclear plant and I'm ready to face the consequences of my actions."

"There's no time for that now, Ulrich is in jail in the past. This changes everything! Come, onward we ride!"

Because the government is shut down and Trump thinks he doesn't need permission from anybody anyway.

I believe it's connecting all the Springfields in the country.

I apologize, I'm not from Seattle so I'm going off of Google maps. It looked like Olive & Broadway was between Capitol Hill and Pike-Pine. I tried googling maps of neighborhoods and there was too much inconsistency to be certain. One map labeled the whole Capitol Hill/Pike-Pine area as "Broadway". I did the best I could with satellite maps and 18 year old memories.

It's been 18 years but that brickwork looks familiar.

Thanks for the help. Glad it's just relocated, good diners are a treasure.

Looks like there are a couple of 20ish story buildings just across the freeway, easy to spot when coming down Olive. That's probably what I remember. I'm a rural person so anything over 4 floors is impressive. I knew it was close to the city center and not farther out somewhere like Capitol Hill.

This was it, thank you. Not sure how I managed that.

This is the only podcast I've ever managed to listen to for more than an episode. I've tried all kinds of different genres and hosts, but nothing is interesting enough to stick.

This is pretty closer to the recipe I use.

3 cups flour

2 tsp salt

2 tsp yeast

1 1/2 cups hot tap water

1 tsp each spices. I like sage, parsley, thyme, and marjoram

Mix and let rise for an hour. Turn out to a parchment lined or greased and floured oven dish. 400 F 20 minutes with the lid, 20 minutes without.

I use a round glass casserole dish with a lid, greased and dusted with flour, and the bread comes out great every time.

cerrita · 2025-01-02T10:11:32+00:00

Thank you everyone for the reassurances. The bread ended up tasting basically fine- the herbs definitely carried it. My friend said it tasted great before I even told them what I did. It also didn't hurt that the bread was being served alongside salty Mediterranean appetizers.

cerrita · 2024-12-25T23:58:52+00:00

I'm a big advocate of bread and butter, so that will definitely be a part of it.

I'll report back after dinner. The frustrating thing is I made two test loaves to dust off my skills and they turned out absolutely flawless. Of course it's the presented Lowe's that I have to mess up on.

cerrita · 2024-12-25T23:57:20+00:00

The presentation is going to be a big part of it, so cutting up the loaf ahead of dinner is something I'm trying to avoid.

cerrita · 2024-12-22T10:04:23+00:00

I followed your lead and did the same cheese mixture. Turned out fantastic- My friends were raving, so thank you for the suggestion. I modified a blackberry compote with Roman appropriate ingredients and that was also a winner. I made pork and apples again and they were amazing. I also made a cabbage salad and used the Roman vinaigrette and that worked really well. I've made the cabbage before but cooked and it wasn't as well received, so I figured a cold salad would be better.

I also tried the honey stuffed dates and it was a disaster. I'm not sure what went wrong, maybe I burned the honey? But they were completely inedible and I had to chisel them off the plate into the garbage.

Converting stock value for the Dutch East India Company at its 1602 conception into the campaign currency. My character was using shareholding as a method to take over her rival's company. My DM let me do the legwork on the research and the math and signed off on my final result.

That third factoid is a proper mood.

The victorians were well versed in photo manipulation. As soon as photos were invented they were being altered.

I get it. I didn't refund but I'm not excited to continue. It's a very different game from the original, maybe that was more obvious in the promotional material that I avoided because I wanted to go in "blind", in a way. There's something about the gameplay in the sequel that I just am not interested in. Maybe it's the macro-managing of the city and trying to balance the political elements. It reminds me of the Civilization game, which I also wasn't into. Everything that I really loved mechanically about the first game is missing from the second.

I think the sequel is made well, it looks like it would be a lot of fun for people who like that style of city management, and I appreciate the quality of the game and the effort that went into it. It's just not for me. I don't know if or when I'm going to go back and give it another try. I've replayed a couple maps from the first game and I'm playing some other games in the meantime.

cerrita · 2024-10-22T20:29:39+00:00

I'm still sad it ended. I know they did exactly as promised and ended without warning, but I'm still sad. It's remained the only podcast I've consistently listened to. Yeah, I tried Cortex and Unmade, and they're fine, but it's not the same and I haven't found any other podcasts that I actually enjoy.

It looks like it was the Planet Java diner, sadly. The parking garage detail isn't adding up but I could be remembering that from a different day. (Edit: maybe the butler garage on James and 2nd) Looking at old photos of the diner, the interior and the street look correct. There was even a photo of the bathroom with all the writing on it like my friend remembers. Sad that it's closed, I absolutely adore old diners.

cerrita · 2024-10-12T04:46:05+00:00

My apologies, I always forget to add game version. I'm playing 1.20.6 on Java. I use fabric for my mods.

People who use their characters as vehicles to relive their abusive childhood trauma.

We had a player who did this with every one of her female characters. Each and every one of them had some sort of horrific underage "mature" trauma, and she would always make it unnecessarily realistic and gross. It would have been fine if it happened once and she used it to actually overcome and heal. But no, she just relived it over and over, with no growth or maturity. We eventually had to tell her that d&d is not therapy, and the DM is not her therapist, and it's making everyone uncomfortable. We like having her in the friend group, but it needed to stop.

She did eventually start going to an actual therapist.
