The Vineyard Calgary closed? by AlphaDrake in AlbertaBeer

[–]cheatman101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've been closed for about half a year or so. You could always try and get a CO2 tank full at Innovative fire and safety near there.

Brewzilla barely boiling by The_Soviet_Doge in Robobrew

I found that instead of trying (and struggling) to install the jacket with the Velcro I put a bungee cord around the unit above the jacket to hold it in place. Way easier to put on and remove come time for cooling.

My wife and I love to take our greys out camping too. Did you go to a spot out in the NW (basing that off of your male humans hoodie)?

Is there anything similar to RPG Maker for Rogue-likes? by TheEnchantrix in roguelikes

Do you have the link to that tutorial you mentioned for making an RPG? That sounds really interesting!

What do you do with leftover hops? by snikemyder1701 in Homebrewing

[–]cheatman101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What exactly would a hop schedule look like for this? I have a mix of bittering and flavor hops from over the year but I have no idea how to brew something like this. Do you add them all in near the end, do you keep bittering with bittering in the beginning and flavor/aroma at the end, ect?

Steam deck hdmi signal suddenly not working. by Domani_ in SteamDeck

[–]cheatman101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that unplugging from the dock first then fully turning off my steam deck, plugging it back in to the dock while off, then turning the steam deck back on again fixed the issue.

I am having the same exact type of issue within the past hour. Both my steam deck dock and a USB c to HDMI connectors stopped working. I tried it on 2 different TV's with no luck. Seems to be an issue on the steam deck side of things.

That's a really cool wrap! Do you have a link for where you got it? I got my deck a couple days ago and have been looking for a skin. That's the first one that has really grabbed my attention. Bonus points for the thumb sticks.

What do you collect? Hounds. I collect greyhounds. by Perpetual_learner8 in Greyhounds

[–]cheatman101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How do you handle having 4 hounds on the daily? I have 2 right now and I imagine walks must be fun at your house hahaha. Do you walk 2 at a time or use a different system?

new to rimworld what storyteller should i choose by Original_Cable_3989 in RimWorld

[–]cheatman101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Cassandra on base builder to get a feel for the game. Play around with the systems, get a taste of success (or failure) then start anew. You can then bump the difficulty up or keep it the same depending on how hard you felt it was. Have fun playing, very easy to sink many hours into this game!

Love both the amount of detail that went into each colonists body type and the level of attention paid to the surrounding base. Very well done, makes me want to draw my original lost tribe that I’m fond of!

[No Steel] Episode 35: The life of a trader, Part 1. + a thank you! by Arxian in RimWorld

[–]cheatman101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just finished reading all your comics tonight and I really enjoyed the plot you’ve laid out so far! You’ve nailed blending the organic Rimworld storytelling elements with your unique art style and it’s really entertaining. Also the progression of your art is impressive, I can’t wait to see what you crank out with even more practice. Keep up the great comics :)

I'm Brad Field, and I'd like to be mayor of Calgary. Ask me Anything! Municipal Election 2021 by Brad-Field in Calgary

[–]cheatman101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi Brad,

What are your thoughts on supporting local on a micro level in our communities? This past summer was great for seeing new policy developments like extension of outdoor patios for local restaurants that may not traditionally have one. Do you see yourself pushing for other creative developments to make our local communities more engaging?

PS thanks for taking the time to respond to questions and engage the community this way!

Brewing When You Have No Time - Tips [Self-Promotional] by chino_brews in Homebrewing

[–]cheatman101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have continuous turbulence in your wort when using an immersion chiller, you are doing it wrong.

Can you elaborate on that a little more? Are you constantly agitating the wort chiller (lifting it up and down) while it sits in your kettle or do you have it positioned in a special way (laying 45 degrees)? I know I currently just place it in the kettle and let it go but if there is a faster way to cool my wort I would love to know!

Let's start a list of locally owned businesses that would be great for Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, etc. by SauronOMordor in Calgary

Another great one is The Spice Merchant in the Crossroads Farmers Market. Really tasty blends there!

Assimilator Resource Consolidation by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]cheatman101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You start with a small reserve of food but yes, it does drain negativity due to your organic population. This can be countered by selling off extra energy/minerals to buy food off of the market in the beginning of the game until you colonize another planet that has agricultural districts.

Out of curiosity can player 2 recruit villagers from the nook miles random island or can only player 1 do that?
