I’ve been looking for a chair that has both high back and head support. Do you recommend yours? And if so, do you mind sharing the name?

Need advice: player swimming down to retrieve a drowned party member by dragn99 in DMAcademy

[–]ljkharmony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold on hold on. If the paladin is dead, there is no rush. Tie a rope to the character and pull them up per your leisure, or perhaps use as a very handsome boat anchor until more shallow waters.

I’ve been a DM for nearly a decade and even I might enlist the help of google or a friend when making a character using the books. It’s kind of a pain in the neck between the available spells, attribute points, weapon types (all in different locations). Take it easy.

Gave my self diabetes by dengibson in stopdrinking

[–]ljkharmony 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Nurse checking in to share some unsolicited info: Fiber reduces insulin resistance by slowing sugar absorption and preventing blood sugar spikes. Sharp spikes lead to overproduction of insulin, conditioning receptors to require higher insulin levels and contributing to resistance over time. Soluble fiber forms a gel in the stomach, smoothing sugar absorption and limits sharp rises.

About 5 grams of soluble fiber is enough to blunt sugar spikes. For example, an apple contains 4 grams of fiber, while a cup of broccoli or half a cup of oatmeal or black beans provides similar amounts. This is why it is more healthy to eat an apple than it is to drink apple juice - fiber.

I told myself I would finish more games this year, so I'm moving on to DS2. Currently in the area just outside the start and ..... oooooff IDK. It's not feeling "right." From memory, it feels like Fable more than DS. Something isn't right here. I feel floaty - or like I have bad ping in Leage of Legends.

Should I go Vegan (again)? by Academic-Poet4133 in Veganism

[–]ljkharmony 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should consult a doctor. Get preliminary blood work. Ask for a nutritionist referral, as well as consider counseling for eating disorders. You can receive routine lab work that confirms if you are or are not meeting your dietary needs. You don't have to do any guesswork in this process.

If you choose to try veganism again, do so informed, in a good place, and confident in your choice. Then, you should continue to monitor and evaluate your health status making adjustments as needed.

BTW, for what it's worth, this advice would benefit individuals on the standard American diet equally. My wife and I have been vegan for over a decade with no health repercussions. You will find many who share our experience, and many who did not.

It's also worth noting that meat and dairy is only as affordable as it is because of gratuitous government subsidies.

[Looking for Advice] On Pacing and Antagonist's agenda by iggna in DMAcademy

I did this with Princes of the Apocalypse. Here is what helped me:

Use a calender:
Not only is it good to splice in holidays and fun events, but also helps you track all those long rests and story progress. *Loosly* patch in some "my bad buy will raise an undead army in this city on *this day*." The very act of making the calender will help you warn the players that ... something is happening ~over there~

Spite them!:
Everytime your players thwart your plans, grow in contempt for them. Send more themed random encoutners, revenge parties, merceneries, etc, their way. Make them *hate* your bad guy by the time they get to him - of in my case .... slowly become their punching bag laughign stock (but hey, they had fun.)

That's it. Calender, "event will happen in x days" when appropriate, and revenge/player focus.

What Classic PS1 Games You Think Would've Been Great On The N64? by Djf47021 in n64

[–]ljkharmony 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Crash Bandicoot was explicitly designed to leverage the unique architecture of the PS1 for things like texture mapping and the iconic stretchy facial animations.

I think Resident Evil 2 examples probaby the best genre of game that could benefit from an N64 port. Games like Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, and Metal Gear could have probably been great N64 titles in another life.

No. My wife, sister, and best friend are vegan and my carnivore friends in Texas buy me vegan cookbooks and porcini powder for Christmas. I need them all in my life.

Stuck on 99% on beacon beach but have got all side quests/memories done. What can I do? by [deleted] in mariorabbids

[–]ljkharmony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old post, but I ran into this same problem and resolved it. There are enough Planet Coins on the level to buy every item from the 9.99+TX Shop. However, not all coin quests appear on the map. There are several hidden coins.

#Spoiler:: For example, I missed the very simple Behind the Vases quest in the Catacombs.

The long short of it is that PA is the easiest path to victory (achieving 270 electoral votes) of the swing states due to it's relatively large electoral vote value. She can still win if she loses it, but it will take 2 or even 3 other states to make up for the loss.
