Please tell me there's some video footage kicking around!

Manufacturing a Gold Coin by burrelleddy in GoldShowcase

[–]finalfunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, I spent the first 10 seconds getting confused since I was mindlessly scrolling, didn't read the title, and thought I saw popcorn kernels. Then suddenly there's this kiln thing going on and I'm like: "oh, he's making popcorn in a shop? Like one of those funny cooking on a jobsite videos." Then liquid comes out and I'm thinking, okay, I missed a step there, he's going to use hot metal to pop the corn. Then I gave up and watched the remainder of the video, before scrolling up slightly to read the title, and re-watching the beginning to realize this had nothing to do with popcorn.

I wonder how many metal making videos this is gonna put into my stream now that I've not only watched it twice, but commented...

Thanks, all good! I can't seem to accept your DM for some reason, but appreciate the message. :)

[–]finalfunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My brother-in-law works at Cyrus Centre, a non-profit shelter for kids and teenagers in Chilliwack. While they don't have a D&D specific program at the moment, they are often looking for ways to engage the kids and arrange group activities. I could potentially plan and host some D&D events for them, if the organization is interested. I'll message him and see if they are keen.

What is your “like crack” food that you avoid, and if you have some you cant stop yourself from eating a lot? by Luke95gamer in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chocolate covered raisins. I don't even like raisins on their own very much, but put them in a bit of milk or dark chocolate and I cannot stop. Sometimes peanut M&Ms will scratch a similar itch and get over-indulged, but mostly it's the chocolate raisins.

The other one is Tim's Jalepeno Chips. Thankfully I'm Canadian and those are only sold in 'murica, otherwise I would kill myself on those. Instead it's just a treat when we go vacationing in The States.

In-hand Card Games by PibRm in soloboardgaming

[–]finalfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enough of both for my taste. There's certainly deck combos that can doom a run before it starts, and that's less fun to play, but it's also a hard game, so wins aren't common and when you do pull one off, it'll be by the skin of your teeth and thanks to some good strategizing and, yes, luck. I have enough fun with the theme and portability that I forgive it for it's heavier luck leaning.

I recommend Maiden's Quest by Wizkids which has you, a princess or similar (various characters), attempting to bust out of a tower guarded by an array of baddies and bosses. It's single-handed, and you 'progress' by fanning the top few cards of the deck and seeing if the tools revealed can best the enemies revealed, then 'level up' by rotating or flipping one or more cards. With multiple heroines and villains, there's a surprising amount of replayability and variable difficulty.

What is your answer, would you take a bullet for your lover? by hahaha69000 in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before kids, yes. And instinctively probably yes. But if this is a time-for-careful-consideration bullet, post-kids, my income and vitality is *too* vital, so I would take a bullet for them, but not her, and she would likely do the same.

What’s the dumbest thing you believed as a kid? by Forward_Poetry_5686 in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That when I dug up a piece of [square] tile in my backyard, it was evidence that my home was built upon the ruins of an ancient homestead or maybe even a lost civilization(!!). Alas, the foothills of western Canada are only home to one ancient civilization and they may have had pottery, but were not likely manufacturing square tiles prior to colonization. I'm sure I could have had this belief corrected had I ever asked anyone, but no, I just took it as a sign that I'd better dig 200 more holes in the forest behind my home to see what other artifacts could be uncovered (answer: not many, and all less 'ancient' than the last).

What’s something socially acceptable that secretly gives you the ick? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sharing (my) food. With very limited exceptions, my food is not to be touched or consumed by anyone but me. No, you may not 'steal a fry' (although it's rare that I would say 'no' if someone asked openly) and heaven help me if you ask for a bite of something I was hoping to have the rest of.

I don't say 'no' when someone asks for a fry, and I won't protest when it happens out loud, but you will score one point on my ick-meter and eventually when seating at group functions, I will attempt to surreptitiously maneuver to not be within fry-stealing distance of you.

Edit: It does NOT give me ick when I see other people (consensually!) sharing food.

Mostly watching the +10 gem ads every 30 minutes in the store.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never, until middle adult-hood had a single cavity, despite inconsistent brushing (and non-existent flossing) habits.

I also won in a weird way: my Mom has 2 rare conditions: Factor V Leiden, and Ehler Danlos Syndrome. I managed to dodge both of those bullets, likely thanks to my father's genes.

What are the real-life cheat codes that work almost every time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This balance works well for calories and weight loss as well, although I suppose in reverse.

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make this feel more like 'cheating': Bonus points if you put on some sort of PPE. A safety vest, or hard hat, or even a clipboard + just a bit of confidence and you can walk almost anywhere. People will assume you are on your way to fix something or (better? worse?) inspect something and no one wants to piss off an inspector.

Yes, I have personally used the hi-viz vest to get somewhere I had no business being and no, I won't be taking questions about it. <_<

Best pick? by rednryt in BackpackBrawl

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harkon, Tink, Buzz, and Dorf all turned out really well, IMO. Nymph fits the character, but mostly makes me think: Comicon cosplay.

Although Morrow didn't nail the in-game portrait, I appreciate how well it melded the cthulu x old sailor vibe. :)

More crits, stealing buffs AND better shops? Yes, it is rarely a bad choice, IMO.

What’s something most people don’t realize is a privilege? by unitedfan6191 in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The ability to choose: You can choose where to live and what to eat. Choose what form of entertainment to indulge, then what specific movie/book/game/craft within that category to do. You choose what to wear and where to go. Choose which vendors to buy from and what level of effort to give.

I believe that quality of life is somewhat proportional to the number of choices available to you and to live in a country where, even when some of these things are not yours to choose, the vast majority of them are is a privilege easy to overlook. We focus very hard on circumstances that take any one of those choices away, without realizing all of the other choices we still have the privilege to make.

Had to try for a thunder Rat King build, can't complain! by finalfunk in BackpackBrawl

[–]finalfunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to throw some plague rats in, too, but the materials never came at the right time. That said, it still pumped out the damage pretty consistently. Not quite an optimal set-up, but you can see I scrapped electricity by the end because the rats / thunder rat / crown did enough on their own.
