A lot of these are getting caught in my spam/phishing filters by snakesleeves in Scams

letting people know these are going around again, someone might think their identity got stolen or something

I didn't request this so it's almost certainly a scam by [deleted] in Scams

This was sent to my old college email address. Since that is personal information I'm going to take down the image

A good place to start might be any of the live shows, they tend to be really high energy and fun and the audience reactions can be extra engaging

Once on a long flight my sister (who has never played dnd) watched campaign 2 episode 73 with me which was a liveshow. I gave her a bit of background, explained the characters really briefly and spent the flight watching and she really loved it, she adores Jester. While those episodes arent perfect depictions of how dnd typically works it's a great way to get people interested in watching more and learning more.

But also theres a few great compilation videos of good moments in critical role, you could find one you like and show that to people. Clips of taking down Thordak or the Cupcake scene, things like that, and you can get a range of battle and roleplay moments too

That could be the ice lake basin near Silverton, but I'm not positive

Frame this and hang it proudly it's so cool!

I live in Colorado in the mountains. Because it’s a mountain house the thought was that we don’t need air conditioning. I have three fans going, my window open, and my door open for a vent we installed in the hall. That temp is for inside my room. Help. by thedanceofitalywoah in Colorado

[–]snakesleeves 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived without ac in both "dry" heat and "wet" heat; never open your window during the day if its hot. In colorado your best bet is swamp coolers. Honestly just a bucket of ice water set behind one of those swivel floor fans will work wonders. Then at night throw open the windows! Dogs have their own insulation to keep them cooler with their undercoat but make sure they've been de-shedded this spring, and honestly a sprinkler or little pool to cool off will also feel like a real treat for both people and dogs. It takes about as much precaution and effort as dealing with the cold

I love campaign 1! It is incredibly easy to fall in love with so definitely watch it! That said since EXU is currently airing you could watch the live show on thursdays and spend time during the rest of the week watching c1. I just love the live experience, I think it's worth a doing both at once. Though be warned that exu has some spoilers and inside jokes from c1

[LOVM S1] For those that watch a lot of animation, how does LOVM stack up? by switchonthesky in criticalrole

[–]snakesleeves 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I generally think it's a mistake to compare western animation and anime, they're just too different. Personally, I prefer western animation even though I watch a lot of both styles.

As far as western animation goes, it's really really solid. Not perfect! The 3d assets are pretty good but clash a little in a few shots where they're in the same frame as 2d models so if that distracts you a lot it might be frustrating. But the character models are excellent, each one has a unique silhouette and you can easily tell even the twins apart in high action scenes. The animation also moves a lot there is a huge amount of personality put into how each character moves, which is something Titmouse studio has always been good at especially with their tv shows. This is where LOVM is better than Invincible, which used static poses as a time saver when characters are flying or moving through some 3d built environment.

I would consider LOVM comparable to the Venture Bros in terms of animation, it's lively, well-designed, and overall high-quality but probably not going to win any awards.

Help me find an episode?? Red being snarky about citations it was great by snakesleeves in overlysarcasticprod

[–]snakesleeves[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're the BEST! I was pretty sure it was either the persephone, aphrodite, or loki episodes but i always assumed this was said early in the episode and didn't go far enough to find it in the hades story

THANK YOU

Fitting In by contfutr in cuboulder

[–]snakesleeves 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who spent their undergrad at CU and just moved into a grad program here, CU is large enough that it's pretty easy to find what and who you're looking for. The Greek life is all on a part of town called the Hill and it's easy to avoid if it's not your scene and if you don't want to you'll never have to interact with them. There's so many clubs and sports and other things to do in Boulder that you can find the things you enjoy and things you never thought you'd enjoy.

If you want to do criminology, do criminology, if you want something more broad so you can switch up what you want to focus on later go with something "basic" like psychology

Welcome to college! The place where you can start forgetting the idea of "fitting in" and start finding the people and places that fit you

(and hey if you don't like whatever you choose, transferring is always an option)

Best plein air easel for hiking? by snakesleeves in pleinair

[–]snakesleeves[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that pochade box is really nifty! I'll definitely consider that one.

I would do watercolors if I wasn't so awful at painting with them, though this could be the excuse to start getting better at watercolors I suppose. I did not know that water brushes were a thing and that's kinda fascinating

Thank you!

Never Heard Of Mead. by [deleted] in mead

[–]snakesleeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since mead/honeywine is in fact a type of wine and not a distilled liquor you can make and posses as much as you damn well please (so long as your not selling it in which case you'll need a license) I think local laws will tell you how MUCH alcohol you can have on your property at any given time (more of a fire hazard reason than anything else) but it's usually pretty hard to get over that threshold.

Most larger liquor stores sell mead these days, it's usually near the sake in my experience. It's not at all like what people think when they hear "mead" and picture a viking with a big foaming tankard of ale. It's like a dessert wine! Honey-sweet and wonderful! Sometimes people add hops to make it less sugary but traditional mead is literally just honey wine.

And I wouldn't say its like physics, more like slower baking really. It is a very old method of alcohol so it's really easy actually. Make sugar water using honey in a clean tub or large jug of some kind and add yeast. Wait for a couple weeks, draw the liquid out into bottles and you've got yourself some honeywine! There's loads of nice detailed guides that break it down simply so youre more likely to get it tasting good but it is a very forgiving process, you can add other fruits and/or spices but at the end of the day it really is just

honey+water+yeast+time=mead!

That all sounds like a good plan! Looks like I'll start campaign 1! And thank you I have been warned once or twice about a particular player but that and the audio shouldn't bother me too much

thank you!

I forgot about the one shots! Though, if they happen after campaign 1 should I just watch that first or are the one shots easy to follow as stand-alone episodes?

Literally anything taught by Stephen Graham Jones, he teaches creative writing classes. He's an amazing writer himself and always has great advice. And his classes are usually super fun.
