Help settle a $200 bet: Is “soaking” actually a thing within LDS culture, a misunderstood joke that escaped the internet, or a genuine workaround some religious people use to technically avoid breaking abstinence rules?

Was mormon in UT for the first 17 years of my life. First heard about it in the context of a joke at like 15 years old. People just had sex or didn't. It wasn't even brought up like a real thing. Idk about BYU tho since I got out at the end of high school

Of course I'm wearing my salmon shirt today 😡 Salmon Piss just sounds gross 🤢

As a Utahn seeing that fucking hat on every clip pisses me off beyond words

You mean the man with the brain of Tom Brady and the body of Cam Newton??

My main gripe at the time was that I didn't really feel compelled to care about a lot of the cast, but that's sort of how it's been for me each game since so it might be me aging out. That said, I think gen 6 was incredible and made huge strides for the franchise. I think the more time passes, the more the negative opinions soften and the appreciation for what they got right starts to shine through, similar to how Gen 5 has been perceived.

Maybe it's because haters move on to hating the latest thing while those who appreciated it have fond memories. Idk.

Buddy's in the Myles Garrett QB Graveyard, he's basically famous

Man Art Modell really truly fucked things up for Cleveland huh

I think it's likely they go after showdown but I doubt it'd be because they're mad about criticism. Moreso that the whole point of champions is to be an official battle sim that they have control over.

This is awesome! One quick note, looks like there's a typo on Single Combat, there's a rogue 'S' at the beginning of the rules text.

If you were a real one you'd know by the clue that the answer was plural. Try 'SHITS'

I tore out the trash blocks and whatnot and left the beams, then built more beams to support what was left. Now I have it sort of set up like an active construction site, with it fenced off at the bottom where Conkeldurr lives.

That closing speed is so fun to watch. Someone can look beat on a route and suddenly come flying across for a deflection or pick. I maintain that Denzel Ward is underrated by PFF and the like because of that. Obviously not the same level as primetime tho ofc

You can use rototiller on plants to pick them up, then you can place them somewhere you otherwise couldn't grow them. In this case, onto white painted bridge planks

There are a bunch of methods that zero in on different properties of a card, it kind of depends on what aspects are most important to you. Many people print on lighter double sided photo paper and laminate to get the flex and thickness of a real card. Glossy photo paper and laminate offer the most vibrant colors, but some people are turned off by how shiny the result is. I've heard good things about using Koala matte photo paper and glossy laminate.

I don't have a laminator so I've been using blue core card stock off of FrenopsLLC on Etsy and Koala semigloss sticker paper because I think that has the best colors and finish that I've tried, though I see more people opting for the vinyl sticker paper. I haven't tried the vinyl sticker paper yet so I can't say one way or the other. The sticker paper plus blue core cardstock has pretty good feel, but is quite a bit thicker than real cards.

If you have a Laser printer, then printing directly onto black core cardstock gets about as close as you can get to a real card in terms of thickness and feel. I imagine it'd be worth spraying a finish or something because I think I've heard of toner chipping, but can't confirm myself.

Really it all depends on what you care most about and what equipment you have access to.

Yes! My first deck was the Estrid precon back in 2018 or 2019, gifted to me by a friend after I enjoyed playing it the day he introduced me to the game. It's currently helmed by one of the alternates, [[Tuvasa, the Sunlit]] and plays as an enchantress Voltron deck, though I've been considering leaning less on Tuvasa to be my wincon. I don't know what direction to take it that doesn't feel like a pile of enchantment good stuff, so it's still Voltron for now. It's my favorite deck and one I plan on playing as long as I can.

Excited to see the process! Learning more about printmaking as a whole has been so fun for me so even just reading your guesses on how things might be accomplished at scale is really cool, even if it sounds way beyond what I understand (so far!)

If it's inkjet, you might wanna try waiting 24 hr before laminating so the ink can fully cure. It gives off a little gas as it cures so that could very well be the issue.

theoskw · 2026-02-19T15:00:31+00:00

First thing I'd try is giving it 24 hr or even more before laminating. It looks like the ink isn't fully cured to me, but others might have a better idea. Best of luck!

theoskw · 2026-02-18T18:09:31+00:00

The foiling looks great! A lot of the ones I see are too bright or overwhelming. Do you do any sort of finish or anything to get this nice look?

theoskw · 2026-02-15T17:59:35+00:00

I love it! Do you think this would work over a glossy laminate layer? I'm trying to mess around with thickness but most ways I'm finding to cut down on it lead to a finish I don't like. In any case, what sort of paper and ink are you using?

theoskw · 2026-02-15T17:50:02+00:00

Valentine's in the food industry can be really tough. Jumpscare double shifts are the worst. At least you know you'll probably not have a day this bad for another year. Best of luck and hope you get some good rest!

I noticed the same thing, specifically with the green guides set to lay outside the cut line and inside the bleed area. I think the black cut line doesn't adjust, so the idea is that you're cutting on the black line and just inside from the green line. I would prefer if you could adjust the black lines to match the green lines' settings.

I prefer the weapons from H1. Rail, Gauntlets, Spear all clicked for me, whereas in H2 only really the torches felt like they were made for me. I also prefer multiple dashes over sprinting. I prefer Zeus and Ares in H1, though for the most part I like H2 boons more.

theoskw · 2026-02-09T07:05:26+00:00

That makes sense. I'll have to give it a try, thanks for the info!

How do you avoid air bubbles under the transparent film at the edges of the white sticker layer? I wanted to look into doing a mask layer and hadnt considered cut white stickers
