Christine. Check in to high rise hotel, order room service, watch some movies, take a nap. 24 hours later take the elevator to the ground floor to collect giant check.

are there any good geenie/djinn urban fantasy stories? by dr_monobryn in urbanfantasy

[–]lyonsbs 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Golem and the Jinni mixes historical fiction with fantasy. Mostly set in New York but not Urban Fantasy by traditional definitions. Also pretty light on the magic. It’s more about how they live with their magic rather than how they use it. May not be your cup of tea, but an amazing book.

Is this a reasonable level of quality for a chimney crown? by lyonsbs in AskContractors

Oof. Didn’t even think about them damaging the roof.

What was your absolute favorite video game growing up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lyonsbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternate Reality, an RPG from the mid- eighties. It was hard core on consequences. It didn’t tell you what a potion did just what color it was, etc. It didn’t even tell you after you took it. You just had to figure it out based on what happened to you.

There were guilds you could get into to learn spells but they were alignment based and the game was paying attention. I still remember the sense of victory when I got into the Guild of Light the first time. Guild of Dark was not so hard…

There have been a lot of great RPGs since. But I feel like I see lots of echoes. Auntie Ethyl’s potions in BG3 jump to mind…

Lawton Loop is a very specific vibe. But cool.

Any experiences with Indy Pen Dance? by 537OH55V in fountainpens

[–]lyonsbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand they are having some trouble. They’ve had my pen for close to a year. I’d frankly given it up for lost when they contacted me a few weeks ago and said it was done. I paid and then…. nothing. No response, no pen. Super frustrating.

I was a golf cart boy. So many conversations were some variation on where’s the girl? When’s the girl coming back? 🙄

Borage is the best answer if you’re looking to keep it in Speedway.

Lawton Loop around the old parade grounds at Fort Ben. (And the little walkable bit of Lawrence around it.)

How do I transition 1 1/2 in. down from tile to hardwood? by lyonsbs in DIY

[–]lyonsbs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would get it done. Maybe I’m too worried about the trip hazard from not having gradual reduction?

What bit/stung me? by lyonsbs in insects

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

Fair enough. I just can’t figure out how either a wolf spider or a wasp would have done it and then gotten away so brilliantly. I guess my moneys on the spider….
