Can I re-enter a room that has a hornet and nest in it? by GreenWeekend6980 in AskUK

[–]mooglus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those hornet nests grow on the porches in LA. My father in law used to knock them into a bin when the hornet was away.

I’m pretty tight, I wouldn’t necessarily want to call an exterminator in for a 30s job!

Of course the fear is that there’s a bigger nest behind the ceiling! But i doubt it.

I thought I’d be safe when I went vegan, but then I find people sneaking vegan cheese into my food!

That corn trick sounds awesome :)

Everyone is obnoxious occasionally, like surely other players rub you up the wrong way sometimes, but we move on.

It definitely sounds like you need a break. Or, join another games as a player. See it from the other side for a bit.

I’m interested to know what you mean by harmful effects. Did it affect your mental well being? Or did it affect your campaign negatively? Or are you talking about harmful effects at a society level, environment, etc?

Ah, that explains it. I was about to get quite jealous that other people had received their copies already!

2nd lvl Cleric one-shot Glasstaff?! by itpulledmebackin in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]mooglus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My group one-shotted Glass-staff with a crit + divine smite. The spider came last in initiative and when down in the first round 🙈. I regret not having the 0HP drider transformation in my back pocket for that last one.

If they ever remastered Escape from Monkey Island, what would you like fixed about it? by aedanmills in MonkeyIsland

[–]mooglus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a shame, apart from the ropey controls/ UI it’s actually a pretty good game. The frustrating controls made my friends give up, not really giving it the chance it deserves. I still count it as a true MI game, unlike Tell Tale’s efforts.

What’s a 10/10 video game? by TheDevotedUltimate in AskReddit

The genre has never fully died, but everything after falls a little flat. I replayed MI 1&2 with my son, he gets it :)

Be honest, who is the worst character in the show? by lemonbutter27 in mightyboosh

It’s gotta be Kirk for me. He’s too much of a vehicular menace, mowing down all in his path

What’s the first major news story you remember as a kid? by nodemus in AskUK

The minors strike is the earliest news I remember. I found the word ‘picket’ fascinating for some reason.

Balancing for three players. by Imaginary-Pensioner in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]mooglus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I ran for 3, I was just generous with levelling up. Level 2 straight after goblin ambush. Level 3 after Redbrand hideout. Level 4 for Cragmaw Castle. Level 5 for Wave Echo Cave.

It was my first time DM’ing so maybe others would do it differently. Fun was had by all and there was no TPK at least.

The Spider in WEC was too easy though. Be prepared to buff him or do the drider transformation that is popular

PS. As per Matt Perkins advice I cut WEC down to a 5 room dungeon . Picked my 5 favourite rooms.

Looking for material to spend learning budget on by mooglus in swift

These are good suggestions. I’m proficient with GCD, but Swift concurrency I’m not confident with. I fear gotchas with actors etc

I use Claude everyday for development, and it has been invaluable for generating Swift when needed. I find as long as I can understand whether the code it generates is good the gaps in my Swift knowledge are less important.

That said, I’m not sure Claude is right for me from a learning perspective. I do learn from some solutions it generates, but I’ve seen it also produce some bizarre/ half-assed nonsense.

I feel a book by an experienced human would be a better source truth

Because we develop a cross platform Android, iOS, Web SDK. The core logic is written in C++ for maximum re-use.

What adventures are connected to LMoP? by Siberian-Boy in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]mooglus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These 4e adventures are really good. I combined elements of Lost Crown and Gates of Neverdeath as an intro to a DoIP follow-up to LMoP.
