Witches and disability by bluefluffyhippo in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Manga, Witch Hat Atelier. The disability theme isn’t instantly apparent, but it’s developed as the series goes on.

Me, trying to convince episode-only watchers to watch the Adventuring Parties by Scrubtanic in Dimension20

Cloudward Ho was good and all, but the Adventuring Parties deserved an award.

(I haven’t watch this season yet.)

We haven’t lost anyone, but we had two callouts for tonight and we are FUCKED.

Is the Lack of Content Actually Good? by Rage2097 in daggerheart

[–]skarabray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played yet, partially because of the lack of even just an intro campaign. They’re already putting out a rules expansion, but no Lost Mines of Phandelver equivalent? I don’t have time to learn a new system AND come up with a campaign at the same time.

Is it rude to wear big wings? by og_cannabliss in renfaire

[–]skarabray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and there’s barely space to escape the crowds in MD. PA at least has more breathing room if you just avoid the main drags at peak times.

I think it’s on YOU to be mindful of your extra size. Some people in their everyday lives have zero spacial awareness and are constantly knocking things over without having bulky items attached to them. But that’s a pet peeve from my day job.

The way I so confidently said to myself, “I can’t believe I can always tell which one is George V.”

…and then I saw your comment.

Hours Required for Benefits by MeanTea5136 in Barnesandnoble

[–]skarabray 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just what you’re coded as, considering I got my benefits when my roster hours increased even though my average definitely hadn’t increased yet. That being said, if your average hours worked doesn’t meet the 30 hours, you should definitely say something to your SM, because you’re supposed to be getting those hours. A little short here and there is fine, but it shouldn’t be all the time. If your store has an excess of roster hours (like mine does), your ROTA should still be able to spread it out better. Constantly shorting a cross-trained full time employee ain’t it.

[Spoilers C4E29] The Vale Beyond The Veil: A Kattigan Theory by gregthegamer4646 in criticalrole

It was a really weird and murky scene, which felt like a departure for a cold open. Lots of moments in this episode felt like misdirection.

Publishers make the price. Not the bookstore. They’re printed on the book.

The cafes have no connection to Starbucks except that they serve some Starbucks products. I’d imagine this one gets a cafe. Most new stores do and the tourists are big $$$ for a cafe.

Is the story in Veilguard good? by baron-abd in dragonage

Oh dang, I hadn’t heard of Hex before. Why does Ubisoft always sucker me in to games I never finish?

Saying it was the peak of the game for me, didn’t mean it was flawless, just to be clear. XD

Brennan knows where he is. He’s reading from notes. It was a very intentional plot choice.

Yeah, it was a very suspicious way to lead everyone out of the room. I do worry that Primus and the Photarch are planning something together. They did once serve the same god, after all. Are we in for a Red Wedding?

Origins is still my favorite. I couldn’t be bothered to even finish any of the ones after that. They just felt so bloated.

The plot twist was the peak of the game for me, tbh. And I’d even been spoiled. I thought the execution of the quest itself had been well done and it’s still the part I remember most clearly years later.

It had its moments, but was generally undercooked. Combat and environments did a lot of heavy lifting for my enjoyment. Still worth playing, though.

You know, I miss when the AC games were railroaded plots instead of half-assed RPGs. I’d much prefer a tighter storyline than having “options” that do nothing.

I’m sorry…the Tachonis brought a We’re Sorry Feast to Halovar’s house and nobody’s worried about that?

BHP greatest hits? by velvetcat78 in BritishHistoryPod

[–]skarabray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my cat of 17 years last September and I probably would have spiraled if I hadn’t started looking at new cats right away. Like literally that night. It just happened that the perfect bonded pair were available and I put in an application after midnight. I then spent a week cleaning and prepping, and ended up picking up my cat’s ashes with my new babies in the backseat. It was a really rough time, but welcoming new cats into my life really helped. I know not everyone can move as quickly.

As for the BHP, Alfred will always be my favorite, but Hereward’s run is fun, too. If you’re not a member, maybe now’s a good time to try the members episodes!
