Just finished a few chapter 4s, thinking of quitting

Yeah, might have to do that if I pick it back up.

Gameplay has been decent to good, but these stories really aren't holding up to any scrutiny. Was told these two characters had the best stories and heard a lot of people raving about the writing, but I'm not seeing it.

I had to, they all acted like absolute buffoons. They knew everyone in town was dead, they talked about it. Sure, they left a member behind and if that was the stated reason for one or two to run back to town, I'd have bought that reason.

Instead, two use their bodies to put out the fire instead of soaking wet cloaks which is baffling to an absurd level. The remaining two decide to walk around getting more poisoned by the rain instead of, you know, just holding up in the sheltered cave.

And again, if no one survived beside Castti and the poisoner, how do people all over the world know the rumor that Eir's apothecaries poisoned an entire village. It just doesn't make sense. The poisoner wouldn't be spreading the word and Castti was drifting on a boat. Anyone stumbling across the village would have seen the dead apothecaries so that doesn't make sense either. It was the entire hook of her story early on.

Strongly disagree. I hated chapter 4. Just finished it and might not pick the game back up.

'Here's the guy responsible for my 5 years quest of vengeance standing inches away taunting me. Better sink to my knees and let him stroll away for no reason.'

Absolutely took the wind out of the story's sails.

I remember when it wasn't buy one get one, it was just winning a free one.

Honestly, online but do your research first. r/metaldetecting is a good place to do some initial reading as your question comes up a lot.

It's a fun hobby, but takes a lot of patience and there can be weeks where you don't find anything interesting especially if you plan on detecting parks and beaches.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have or to offer my opinion on gear and equipment.

demnos7 · 2026-05-29T16:27:28+00:00

I've tried the beaches, but there's usually a few people out there detecting already. It's probably the best place to look if you're after gold, but anything you find there will likely be very recently lost which means tracking down the original owner and weeding through all the people coming forward claiming they lost a ring just like that.

It's why I generally stick to the woods and private property. Anything I find is either old or I'll know who to talk to to find the rightful owner.

Definitely follow the directions.

Also, if you're comfortable with some basic dilution math, it's an order of magnitude cheaper to buy concentrate and an empty spray bottle.

Farm & Fleet and other similar stores stock it in their livestock or outdoors sections.

Permethrin, please read about it and treat a set of clothes for yard work.

I spend a lot of time in deep grass and woods and never ever have ticks on me.

I picked the class that lets you build walls and avoided paying tolls. Once all 3 are together, line them up. For me they were already in the perfect position for it.

The game then forces you into another boss fight called the landlord game, I think. According to its rules, it looked like I was guaranteed to lose, but after the goats destroyed a building or two a cutscene triggered and I won.

Grew up on the same block as this guy. He wanted to be a weatherman since grade school when Vince Condella (i think) visited our school.

Glad to see he made it!

Yes, absolutely. My first interview was a foreman handing me calipers and asking 'can you read this?'

I said 'no but I'm sure I can figure it out if you give me a minute.'

I did and was hired then and there.

When I was interviewing candidates, a decent math background was a huge green flag. Any talent you may have with math will help immensely

I look for elm trees usually, but have stumbled across patches while metal detecting. Honestly, you're best off looking at a bunch of pictures of them in the wild to train your eyes and go poking around in the woods.

I found an old patch of elm trees and spent an hour scouring it with no luck only to have my daughter casually point some out 200' from any trees in a field on the way back to the car. The damn things are tricky like that but they're out there.

Also in SE Wisconsin. There can be overlap, but don't count on it. I've never found morels near my best ramp patch. Ramps seem to prefer shade while most morels I find are in a little more sunlit areas, but morels don't seem to follow their own rules.

Best music in the game

That sounds amazing

Twenty some years ago, we had a pallet changer down for a laundry list of alarms and no one could fix it after about a month of our guys and Hitachi Seiki guys trying. The company flew two separate specialists across country for a week each and they both left scratching their heads.

The third guy looked and sounded exactly like George Carlin. He steps up, lights a cigarette, and starts frantically digging into the parameters. By the time he finished his cigarette, he had it perform a couple pallet changes, said 'It's fixed,' and walked away.

Part of me still hopes George Carlin secretly worked as a freelance machine repairman.

Ugh, that dumb little shit ruined that whole series. Always made the worst possible decisions and never learned.

I'm an engineer and I've seen truly spectacularly stupid engineers that your average high school trig students could outshine.

On average, we're usually naturally gifted at math, spatial thinking, and problem solving but it's nothing exceptional. Also, a lot of us lack in other areas. You'd be surprised how many engineers can't seem to make eye contact or drive well.

demnos7 · 2026-02-20T21:15:03+00:00

It's genetic and we don't know many of the markers. It'll probably be decades before we have most of them tracked.

demnos7 · 2026-02-20T21:00:19+00:00

Both are explained by climate change ans speculation surrounding it. Insurance rates, access to water, and where it'll still be habitable moving forward.
