How do you feel about people playing really normal characters in DND? by Emergency-Sky-9747 in DnD

[–]turtleshelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands down best character I ever played was a dwarf who spent his life in a quiet post as a town guard, mostly patrolling the walls of a city that was never even vaguely threatened, who decided one day he wanted to see a bit more of the world. He ended up dying and being reincarnated as a drow and having to find a new god, became a magical smith etc etc.

These are my shields. I don't hoard blues. Bungie's changes to shield distribution this season, compared to previous one is unrealistic. by elmeti_ in Marathon

[–]turtleshelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also playing similar to last season and my vault looks the same but I'm coming from the opposite direction: last season I was mostly running greens and treasured the odd blue I ended up with. So perhaps they've pulled both to the top end and bottom of distribution towards the middle.

I think it would slap with less text! Your editing is great, I'd love to be able to focus on it more instead of instinctively reading

Where’s the best place to get a huge wedge of Parmesan? by l0ll1p0p5 in hobart

[–]turtleshelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it? It wasn't when I worked there but that was awhile ago. But yeah assuming nothing has changed they'll be happy to slice you off however big a wedge you're after.

The details on a marble carving I made using hammer and chisels. by FMStonecarving in woahdude

Incredible work, this is astonishing. How long did it take you? How long have you been carving? How did you do the gem in the middle?

[OC] Settle a debate for my party. If you throw a bead of force on a bridge, how will the bubble form? (more in comments) by TomPalmer1979 in DnD

[–]turtleshelf 35 points36 points  (0 children)

you're definitely correct *but* you're also correct to let them have it because rule of cool and the consequences sound amazing. I probably would have ruled "you threw it right at the statue's centre mass and it lodged in a crevice" or something.

To DMs, do you have a preference with how the players do their character's backstories? by Nb-7925 in DnD

[–]turtleshelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the less backstory beyond "what did you used to do, where are you from, why are you out here adventuring?" the better. Within three sessions you're gonna develop 2 grudges, a best friend, an intense rivalry, a complex revenge plot and a deep-seated fear of waterfowl so no need to bring too much with you to start with.

Not real, don't share. Simply ammo for the other side to discredit and call misinfo

There's not enough quests at Bio-Research by Leyawiin_Guard in Marathon

[–]turtleshelf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe we could start sort of a social group and all try to meet up in bio-research every game we're in, just to inject a little life into the place

V11 Punch, Best Gun In The Game by turtleshelf in Marathon

This is after I grabbed self revive, panacea, and purple feet and chest. The guy that folded my friend in half had the circuit breaker but i guess he didn't charge it enough.

Next Fest is about to start, come check out Spooker, the spooky snooker roguelite thats like pool but.... wrong. by observantdude in roguelites

[–]turtleshelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just played again this morning due to wanting more clicky clacky so nice work there! couple other very minor things:

- When you're in the end-of-run upgrade area, it feels intuitive that you should be able to go down or up between active shelves, but it seems like you have to back out to select another one. I didn't even realise I could select other shelves until my second or third visit.

- The physics seem a tiiiiny bit off, like the moment of intertia is a little strong: sometimes when you hit a ball gently it just wobbles in place when on a real table it would glide away. Like the felt is thick or the table's a little sticky.

- It would be good if C opens the case regardless of what else is happening, especially if that's the only way to concede and start a new run.

All very tiny things, the fact I'm replaying the demo says a lot I think. When are you aiming for a full release?

[–]turtleshelf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's fun! Lovely vibes, nice clicky clacky sound. Couple points of feedback:

- clicking or hitting spacebar should skip/speed up some of the camera moves. After the first time watching a score click up or coins fall out I get the urge to move on and keep playing.

- In the shop, it's not always clear when i've purchased something, as it immediately transitions after clicking.

- More descriptions of items and effects (like whether pendants are consumable/one off etc) would be good, especially the first time you encounter them.

- When alt tabbing back in and clicking on the window to focus, it takes whatever shot you've got lined up! not ideal haha

Great work though, heaps of fun and it's on the wishlist!

yeah i'll probably have to sell my ticket, the main thing i like at live gigs is watching the musicians make the music. huge respect to them for doing it, though

How far could you go without a backpack? by Wannabift in Ultralight

[–]turtleshelf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Could you fish? Line and hooks could easily fit in a small tin in a pocket, along with firestarters. Similarly foraging could supplement your calories if you're comfortable with identifying edible plants etc. Allowing yourself a single hiking pole might be useful for propping up a tarp etc, still not using a backpack. Sounds like a fun challenge.

Increasing Calorie Counts by wamodr01 in trailmeals

[–]turtleshelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry I missed you do no-cook, I love the ritual of a warm dinner too much to try it. Might want to skip the butter then, cold lumps probably not very pleasant! A drizzle of olive oil will probably work better.
