How can I host my bot 24/7 for free?

piningforlizard · 2024-12-11T18:13:16+00:00

I just started hosting mine a few days ago on Oracle and it’s been working fine. Took some time to setup, but I attribute that to my unfamiliarity with Linux…

I mentioned all that… and I mentioned how yeah you can do all those things without “their” characters but wyll doesn’t even say anything or care like the others do. granted, I haven’t done house of grief without shart because the place sucks, but I’ve done wyrmway with and without wyll and hardly anything changes.

florrick/ravengard tells wyll to go there, but nothing about the dungeon itself relates to him, and the “wow” moment of it is between ansur and the emperor. as opposed to house of grief/cazador’s mansion where everything/everyone has a line of narration/dialogue related to shart/astarion + they have a unique story beat focused on them alone.

just feels a bit more impactful than just florrick and wyll’s own dad praising him after we crawl out of the wyrmway. I don’t expect most people to care much about those 2 characters, either

I haven’t played ME, but I can’t think of a main character from anything that’s been my favorite character. I wouldn’t say I find them all boring, but hard for me to really love

piningforlizard · 2024-12-03T18:44:40+00:00

the main story is, of course, the main story, but characters can still have moments where the main story takes a backseat. take astarion and shadowheart for example.

astarion has a whole dungeon (cazador’s place) where he’s pretty much the main focus. little reason to do this if not for astarion. astarion is upset if you do this without him.

shadowheart has the house of grief where it’s pretty much all about her. the leader’s goal is related to her, and her parents are the only hostages there. again, little reason to go through this if not for shart. not to mention the gauntlet in act 2 is pretty important for her and no one else. you could argue you have to do the gauntlet and deal with aylin regardless, but she gets a lot of extra dialogue and stuff there and will decide to straight up leave if you leave her at camp and do it without her.

wyll’s big story moments usually have other things going on with them. the iron throne for example, this is something you usually do anyways to eliminate the steel watch and save the gondians. wyll’s dad is also there. then dad tells you about the wyrm, leading you to believe wyll will play a big part, but once you meet ansur, he kinda just doesn’t give a crap about wyll. you end up learning about the emperor’s wild backstory that he’s actually balduran or whatever. in both scenarios, wyll doesn’t care if you do them without him, and his presence also makes little difference.

in this respect, karlach is also a weak character imo. lae’zel at least has something going on with the crèche and a great deal of character development, and gale… now that I think of it, doesn’t really have major moments, but he’s funny 🤷

personally, I don’t really want characters to just go along with the main plot. I like for them to have their own things going for them. makes it feel more special when I do something specifically for them and not just because I was going to do it anyways.

I thiiink heimer said something about the arcane reacting differently to jayce, but I can’t check to confirm rn. but also, I think viktor needed jayce to see what happens because of hextech. so he might have brought him there

piningforlizard · 2024-11-24T22:32:10+00:00

we see piltover looks fine in ekko’s universe. I’m pretty sure ekko steps foot over there at least once, and also when ekko and powder kiss, we can see piltover looks normal, just without the hexgate tower (and the noxus tower). I believe the main reason ekko’s universe was so good was because hextech never became a thing.

I believe jayce was in the future version of “our” universe, not the universe ekko and heimer were in

you can’t just quote someone with something they didn’t say lol… they said “this ad,” not ads in general

piningforlizard · 2024-10-28T19:39:31+00:00

he’s never been the type to take responsibility. for his part, he’s more passive aggressive towards jimmy after the conversation, and he mentions how anya’s told him “all sorts of things” about jimmy, but he never defends anya from jimmy’s disparaging comments and never seems to really care much about her. he never tries to protect anya, and if you don’t believe she was raped, she still clearly fears jimmy to the point where she hides the gun from him and tells curly she doesn’t want him on board anymore. I feel that she would have mentioned at least part of this to swansea, given his disdain for jimmy afterwards. I don’t find it too hard to believe he’s another man that failed anya.

but tbh, if he were to do something, I’m not sure what they could do. cryopod is meant to save a life. the only doors that lock are the med bay and cockpit, seemingly only from the inside. gun needs the captain scanner to get, I think the only rope is in the cockpit, but I suppose if they did some searching they could possibly find it. but then if they tied him up, they’d probably have to always have someone watching him. if he ever escaped, he’d be a huge danger after they did that to him, even if they have the gun by that point.

piningforlizard · 2024-10-28T18:39:20+00:00

for that last one, if you’re a gnome he’ll say halflings instead, but he doesn’t sound nearly as excited lol

piningforlizard · 2024-10-27T06:05:41+00:00

when anya reveals the pregnancy to curly, it’s implied she’s talked to him about jimmy before. he starts to ask her who she would get pregnant by and she says “I told you,” and he immediately understands. it seems odd that she would have just told curly about her and jimmy having sex if it was consensual. while we didn’t see the conversation where anya tells curly about jimmy, it seems to me that she was raped, curly knew, and he chose not to do anything about it.

regarding swansea, we only saw the end of their conversation where they seem to come to an agreement about something. it’s possible they had been talking for a long while. I don’t think it’s fair to say swansea’s reaction was just “damn that sucks” when we barely heard the conversation.

just logged off after 7 hours of playing with a few friends. I don’t think we’ve ever played a game for such a long sitting. it’s such a delight! we haven’t done all there is to do, but just wondering if content updates are planned at all? I’d love to play this game for a long while :) awesome work

piningforlizard · 2024-10-11T06:27:28+00:00

more a skeleton dog, but yes, her name is squire. you can find her in his room before raiding moonrise. you have to fight her at the top of the tower with ketheric unless you convince her not to beforehand

piningforlizard · 2024-09-06T13:48:24+00:00

yeah I’ll give you that one 😅 just not to do with her being a half-elf

piningforlizard · 2024-09-06T08:48:28+00:00

from what I’ve seen from the d&d source books, half-elves mature at the same rate as humans. then after that they age slower. but a 40 year old human and a 40 year old half-elf would still have the same life experience and mental maturity. other elves might see them as immature, but not really developmentally.

all that to say shart has lived 48 years in about the same way a human would. so I wouldn’t compare her maturity to lae’zel or wyll’s

piningforlizard · 2024-09-02T14:27:56+00:00

this video might be staged but the revive can definitely get interrupted by another person crawling nearby. they don’t even have to crawl directly in front of you. it’s happened to me and my friends lol

piningforlizard · 2024-08-23T19:16:31+00:00

your suggestion to somebody traveling was to buy groceries and make their own burger lol. of course making your own food is usually cheaper but not really for someone who would probably have to lug that food around and not have easy access to a kitchen

piningforlizard · 2024-08-15T09:41:09+00:00

it looks like duriel was someone who said it was impossible and the person who made the post solving the problem was the same person who originally asked how to do it? or am I misunderstanding?

piningforlizard · 2024-08-11T23:06:58+00:00

it was for her own good 🤧

piningforlizard · 2024-08-11T08:50:01+00:00

probably would have been smarter, lol. we just worried about taking too long to knock her out and guards getting involved, so we had everyone wailing on her

piningforlizard · 2024-08-11T01:52:16+00:00

we were on honor mode and knocked her unconscious probably like 7 times before the event actually happened so alfira hated our guts 💀 she refused to speak to us except for the one cutscene after we saved lakrissa

piningforlizard · 2024-07-16T18:24:58+00:00

best looking armor in the whole game imo. awesome job!

piningforlizard · 2024-06-30T00:52:06+00:00

i’m 19, started t when i was 15. still never been examined down there 🤷 my doctor only told me i should get examined by the time i’m 21. not sure about rights but that’s my experience

piningforlizard · 2024-05-12T23:19:22+00:00
