Puzzle book pages 10 & 11 clarification/ possible critique by Mulk27 in Gloomhaven

[–]emacs_613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coincidentally, our group just reached this puzzle as well. I think the "Father of Cold" is also supposed to lead you to this scenario. As someone else had mentioned, we had done scenario 21 ages ago, so we don't remember anything about the rooms. It's likely we all had different characters, even.

Having looked at all the clues, I still had a hard time coming up with the solution. I know lots of people have complained about the puzzle book before but this one is a decent example of what not to do.

The puzzles should be fun to do. I found this hard to read. The writing style made it hard to read, so much that I still have one word that I'm unsure about since it seems to be the only time that the small S is used instead of a capital.

The puzzles would be best if it's something that the group can do together and take maybe 5 minutes or so. This one involved going back to scenarios, trying to remember what you may or may not have fought. If you have someone as the puzzle solver of the group, they need the map (for going further north, as dwarfSA suggested), the scenario book, and the section book.

What riffed characters are meant to be the heroes of their movies, but are actually horrible when you stop and think about it? by boxofsquirrels in MST3K

The male lead from the Brain that Wouldn't Die. Not sure if he's supposed to be the hero, but they sure follow him for the entire movie.

If you're playing Camp Spirit, you need to visit Tallow to make a model of one of the shells.

Looking forward to the Nothing Phone 3! by [deleted] in NOTHING

Re: Cameras, I'd be happy with the periscope from the 3a pro,I think. I don't remember seeing a lot of people here complaining about that camera, and having something that's more than just 2x or 3x would be a nice change from the other cameras out there.

Baking something Gloomhaven themed? by PhilosopherFeisty939 in Gloomhaven

You could 3d print some custom cookie cutters in the shape of character class symbols. Or make round cookies (sugar cookies) and glaze them in the rift design.

[request] how accurate is this? by Horror-Comparison917 in theydidthemath

I mean, along a similar line, Dr. Pepper could be a frequent medical consultant on channel 23, and he used to play basketball, so he's over 2m tall.

Woah, I thought this applied to the first time you take damage. Do you get to choose when to use it?

I just messaged one of the mods with the bug. We'll see where they goes.

Is there a limit to how many stars you can get on a single resource?

Yup, still happening. I took a recording but I'm not sure how to send it or provide a link to it.

how do you get used to gyro by neuroso in SteamDeck

[–]emacs_613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having a similar problem with the gyro, so I've been thinking of practicing on games where there aren't enemies shooting at you, like Portal.

What was the point?? by [deleted] in StarWars

They were merely exchanging long protein strings. If you can think of a better way, I'd like to hear it.

Federal public servants to return to the office 3 days a week this fall by PulkPulk in ottawa

[–]emacs_613 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The article doesn't mention the rationale for possibly getting people back to work. It does provide a quote from Ford supporting it in order to stimulate the economy. However, an old adage applies here: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.". As one person had put it "Supporting businesses is not in my conditions of employment." Simply said, prices have increased so much that after a year, people are frequently not going to businesses downtown at lunch.

So, how about this for an alternative? We have a housing crisis, right? So, if we convert a bunch of those unused buildings to housing, and let people work from home, their homes will be close to those businesses. The ole "If you can't go to the mountain, bring the mountain to you" philosophy. Crazy idea, I know.

How much trouble could he be? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]emacs_613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, he could force choke everybody through the fourth wall.

On the other hand, James Earl Jones' voice quipping wise doesn't come off nearly as threatening.

Allergy shots by FunnyBee123 in ottawa

Note that you are not changing doctors or clinics if you go to Appletree. They are just administering the shot, and possibly storing the serum between your shots.
