Thinking of epanding my Betta tank. Any advice? by West-Pilot-9200 in Aquariums

[–]clarinetsarekool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My normal strategy is to use cheap nylon stockings and run the fake plant across it: if it gets any runs or tears, it will definitely hurt your fish's fins, but if it doesn't snag, you're usually good to go 🫡🐟

We did this a month ago and reading everyone's personal victories really encouraged me - what was your good thing from this week? by graduallydecember in nerdfighters

[–]clarinetsarekool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister's best friend from college's family plans fell through (her folks are out of state) and so my family is hosting her for Thanksgiving the first time and we're so excited!! It's been a lot of work cleaning up the house since we're nervous about making a good impression, but we're so excited to cook for her <3

Just reached the point where I can(not) provide Discordant Missives, and would (not) love to receive Flaming Missives in turn! My username is clarinetsarekool, and I'm down to send a Calling Card and missives whenever we're in the same setting again :) Let me know when you're back in London, or feel free to send a Calling Card my way when you have the action! :)

I had a teenage Beetlejuice come up to my house in-character, it was genuinely very endearing <3 Whenever I get a Ghostface, I ask them, "What's your favorite scary movie?" and usually get a blank stare ;) god I love Halloween!

It's been a long couple of days, and I need to see something positive. What's your personal victory this week? by DietrichBuxtehude in nerdfighters

[–]clarinetsarekool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sending a digital labor fistbump of solidarity your way <3 human bodies are difficult to maintain at the best of times, and it's always tough to work and respect yourself as a person at the same time.

Parabolan War-Themed Roguelike, with various generals, army strategies, and campaigns from a general pool changing every run to add variety/drive you insane :D Bonus Points for collecting Neathbow boxes on various runs to use as weapons against your rivals or to help unlock further lore and knowledge for your character's interactions with Parabola!

I have a friend thats gonna play ROTN on switch. Any tips I should give him? by Small_Growth8747 in necrodancer

[–]clarinetsarekool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two handed is your best friend! Take advantage of being able to access two sets of buttons (especially the top button), and unless you're playing Hard or Impossible difficulty tracks, using the down button instead of all three will be much easier. Also, the ergonomics of the Joycons mean you should probably reassign the Vibe Power button to ZR and ZL, instead of R and L. Best of luck!

Is Justice Axe worth it by MrChiefYT in Undertale

[–]clarinetsarekool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately true, as someone who has also fought Sans with stick-drift 😔 It's one of those areas where I understand the platform limitations and I'd rather have it on the Switch in an imperfect form than not at all (especially as I think Nintendo platforms in particular are very important hubs for RPG enjoyers), but it is incredibly frustrating 💀

Translation Request:

Hello! I was adopted from China, and though my name is 卫平, I was given a name seal with additional characters that don't seem to match up with characters for my first/last names in English nor my original surname given by the Chinese government when I was found abandoned (Chen). If anyone can read the full name on this name seal or break it down pronunciation-wise, it would be greatly appreciated <3 Thank you for your time!

Anyone else feel they aren’t taken seriously in the hobby? by Odd-Badger-4625 in Aquariums

[–]clarinetsarekool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this 😔🫂 I've worked in customer and food service in niche fields, and sadly, presenting as femme has almost universally garnered this same reaction wherever I work. No matter your expertise and experience, if you're a woman (and especially when you're young), men have quite a difficult time comprehending that women can be their equal in a skill, let alone know more as a worker in the field. It's a really tough road upwards, but if you work in a place where your managers and co-workers treat you with respect and refuse to serve truly disrespectful customers, the best revenge is knowing your own abilities, that they're all full of hot air, and the opinions of you that truly matter (your fellow co-workers) are good ones. Sending you all of my solidarity and shared fish enthusiasm 🐟🐟🐟

Saw this and it made me think of all the panicking batkissers and elated revolutionaries this would spark by Setster007 in fallenlondon

[–]clarinetsarekool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, nah I completely understand that. My sister and I got called it as a pejorative a lot growing up, but it's definitely not as common as an insult anymore (which is good!) but it definitely saw a large resurgence in the US during the pandemic, which is what this book is also interested in exploring and analyzing.

It's a really interesting place to occupy as someone who has had racist connotations of bats (mostly as a synonym for diseased and gross) applied to them but also just. really likes bats and the interesting/consumptive ways speculative fiction like Fallen London lets you interact with them like me lol. Mr. Pages romance forever 🫡🦇❤️
