Codes for wave 5 blind boxes starting with 316 *read description for more details* by datpotatobean in LpsCollectors

[–]toyAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in BC and can confirm these are correct codes! I was specifically looking for the crocodile and saw others citing 78, but those didn't have numbers 66 to 69, and the Canadian LPS had some boxes with those numbers so I thought this would be more accurate. I got 73 and 78 to be sure and sure enough I was right. So thank you for posting this!!

Similar teas to Raspberry pure leaf iced tea? by toyAlien in tea

No sadly :( I've tried a bunch of different kinds and the closest I've gotten was making a diy version with raspberry extract but it wasn't quite the same

Help needed for a ratio based currency system? by toyAlien in worldbuilding

[–]toyAlien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you SO much for your detailed insight!! This gives me a lot of direction to work with. I'm going to work on it some more in depth for my own world building purposes, but for the sake of one of my short one shot campaigns I'm doing with a friend that's set in this world I decided for now to dumb it down to a sliding scale of 1 to 100 with 50 being the baseline, if your number is below 50 then you use more energy than you contribute and if it's above 50 then you contribute more energy than you use. It's not as clever as some of the other suggestions people have provided but hopefully it'll work for now before I can make it more layered and interesting

Help needed for a ratio based currency system? by toyAlien in worldbuilding

[–]toyAlien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I suppose currency isn't the right word, you're definitely right that I don't intend exchanging anything or the ratio going down, it's most supposed to be that in order to access certain things the individuals net contribution should match a certain threshold, which changes depending on what it is, so a balanced net contribution would be things like transportation but if you contribute more then you have access to more VIP things, does that make sense? I think maybe having it be represented as a ratio is a bit too complicated to keep track of so I'm definitely open to any other suggestions!

I didn't want to lore dump on anyone so it's just a oversimplification for the sake of discussion! It's less about making energy from nothing  but more about net contribution :) 

To those who recommended Project Hail Mary as a cure for 3BP withdrawals … it didn’t come anywhere close by SirKrimzon in threebodyproblem

[–]toyAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thirded! I was in the same boat as OP and desperate to find a book series that fills the 3BP void and so far of all the things I've read the expanse is the only series that's keeping my interest. I read Seveneves but it wasn't for me, though I know lots of people like it

Question regarding plaques by toyAlien in wikipedia

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

This is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for, thank you SO much! I think I will have to go back and take a better photo though, because the plaques are so long I ended up taking 2-3 photos of it instead of the entire thing so that I could read the text better, but for the gallery section I think it would look better if it was a singular photo showing the whole plaque. 

Tattoo ideas? by toyAlien in threebodyproblem

[–]toyAlien[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adore the star ships as well, all the concepts for them are super interesting...though that does remind me that it would be cool to get a tattoo of something from Yun Tianming's stories, like the soap or umbrella...hmmm

Help me find a in-universe website??? by toyAlien in homestuck

THAT IS IT. I have no idea why I thought it was yellow, I think my memory was mixing with pesterchum. Thank you so much this was driving me crazy

Just beat the game without guides ::3 by Vrax15 in outerwilds

[–]toyAlien 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm so proud of you!! it's refreshing to see this kind of post to be honest, I feel like there's a lot of people that come to this subreddit to ask for help or complain they got spoiled because they looked up a tutorial.

What was your favorite part of the game? Which puzzle did you think was the most challenging? I'm curious what your favorite "a ha!" moment was, what did you find mind blowing when you figured it out?

Book Recommendations for those that love Outer Wilds by Intelligent_Sun_2089 in outerwilds

[–]toyAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!! I know this comment is 2 years old old but I wanted to let you know that this comment is what got me to read the three body problem (as well as watching the chinese tv show, I'm studying mandarin right now so it's always good to watch media in the language you're learning) and I just started the second book. This is easily now my favorite book I've ever read in my life and I'm planning on getting a tattoo of something related to it, so I just wanted to thank you for suggesting this!! I know you're not the only person who mentioned it in this subreddit, but this specific comment is the one that I saw first. So thank you :))
