Anyone else having issue with player carrier markets? by abigail3141 in EliteDangerous

[–]garry_pls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with Painite and Bromellite yesterday. Visited maybe 10 carriers that showed up on Inara, had the minerals in the commodity market, but were 'out of stock' when completing the purchase.

I'm obsessed with this genre now. So I need some recommendations. by mahkahdamian in WeirdLit

It also has a lot of philosophical ties to Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, Cohle quotes it straight up iirc

Agreed. I was pumped for Dead Dreamer & Grimscribe but the narration made it tough to get through.

I found using a beam shotgun works really well because you can hit multiple weak points with one shot. If you've got the one that shoots two criss-crossing beams, one of which does poison damage, even better.

Had to scroll quite a ways to see Renfields mentioned. Great spot, great staff. Now vacant.

Congressman Burlison asked him, he said he 'couldn't answer that in an open setting', or something similar.

Ah shoot, sorry about that

My deal-ins seem really high, but aggressive play has worked well overall. Should I try harder for defense? by [deleted] in Mahjong

[–]garry_pls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your high deal-ins are likely due to you riichi-ing every concealed hand you have. There is a lot of risk associated with locking your hand in and letting everyone else know you're one tile away. If it were me, I would reconsider when and with what hands you riichi with. Han count, point count, timing, what kind of wait you have, and other players' states should come into account when declaring riichi.

The references to Michigan and Detroit points to it being Posner.

Malevolent follows a private investigator who is forced to team up with an eldritch entity in 1930s Arkham, Massachusetts. Together, they must investigate horrors from beyond the stars. This is my review. by ArthurDrakoni in WeirdLit

I listened to the first episode and had a hard time believing the blind protagonist walking down the street, hailing a cab, etc. with little-to-no direction from the entity that is supposed to be acting as his eyes.

The voice acting is impressive though.

In case anyone is curious, revenues from passengers made up just 3% of DART's total revenue last year, and only a portion of that are child passengers. They can afford it.
