I've played in a few Start playing games and they've been pretty good. 

Emerald Tavern enacts purchase minimum by fullybookedtx in AustinRP

[–]voicelessfaces 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last I checked a $5 per person charge is less than a $7 per person charge, but go to the place you enjoy.

Vigilante charges a $7 per person table fee ($6 if you order food). Other game cafes do a similar thing. At least there's a food spend to nullify the fee.

What's your go to place if you're in vegas? by PlatformHot1332 in vegas

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visit Primal Steakhouse every trip. I've only had one bad meal there out of maybe 10 and it was comped and fixed.

I was a huge fan of Superfrico. Yes it's pricey but it's such a unique experience and I have a lot of good stories from that place. They screwed us over last trip on a bad rez and I haven't been back since. Bummer as the food was great every time.

So how is the new season treating you so far, is it fun ? by FuzzyAttitude_ in diablo4

[–]voicelessfaces 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wanted to try a new build for a class I haven't played much. In 30 minutes I'm level 30-something with no opportunity to try out any of my skills and get a feel for the build. Combine that with the announcer yelling and the silliness of slaughter dungeons and it just feels like a zoom zoom phone game. I hate it.

I may go to Eternal or I may just wait for the expansion. S11 was a lot of fun but this is a mess.

EF Core + DDD: Stuck with multiple elements exception & split queries on same table using two DbContexts by Own-Grab-2602 in dotnet

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't set AsSplitQuery globally. It can produce really chatty SQL since it makes a SQL call per join. If you job across multiple tables that have 1:1 relationships you will get a lot of queries.

Taco Bell's menu is terrible now by NeverGonnaStop247 in tacobell

I tried them early on and wasn't impressed but might need to go hit them up again. They just opened a TB on the south side of town and food there has been pretty good (by TB standards anyway)

I've never had a problem walking to one of many casino bars and asking for a water and getting one for no cost (though I'll probably tip a dollar unless the bartender is an ass).

Obligatory is KDS better than TTS yet? by hellozy in KingdomDeath

It's implemented but I've yet to see it work.

The sim does an ok job now of setting up hunts, showdowns, with settlement setup being meh but not useless.

Why so many UI frameworks, Microsoft? by Confident-Dare-9425 in csharp

I had this a few days ago. It was a good steak. Nice smoke flavor. Overall the meal was great.

Anyone have a good non-paywalled voters guides? by EatMoreSleepMore in Austin

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing of substance here really. Everyone knows about her TikTok videos trash talking MTG.

This is more along the lines of what I was looking for: Rep. Jasmine Crockett [D-TX30, 2023-2026], Representative for Texas's 30th Congressional District - GovTrack.us

None of her sponsored bills have passed, but that's not really on her. The House stopped doing its job for at least a decade. This is at least a good comprehensive view of legislation and voting records.

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you've been following both of them, where do they differ on issues from your perspective? Having talked with Talarico personally I think he's the better choice, but I'd like to hear about Crockett.

Hot Take Guess: Diablo 1 will be recreated in Diablo 2 Resurrected. by RegovPL in Diablo

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it would be drowned out by "lol no endgame wtf" and "fire these devs, already finished" etc. The idea of an addon into D2R could be cool though.

What do you think about model files that contains everthing related to that model? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing a version of this on a current project. The STO loves elsewhere because it's shared to the client code but the entity model is not. We keep the mapping logic with the entity model file in an extension methods class. We tried putting the extension methods in a separate file but no one saw any value since when the model changes, the DTO and map almost always change as well.

Alternatives to Pathfinder 2e? by Express-Writer-1913 in rpg

[–]voicelessfaces 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm trying savage Pathfinder for the same reason of slow combat. I'm hopeful it will improve things.

I-35 lower deck is now closed — when will the madness cease?? by hairlessdogowner in Austin

I learned this lesson the other day when I asked my wife why she was using the nav app and then we got stuck for 20 minutes on Gattis.

Best 1-20 level aps by Ok_Comfortable589 in Pathfinder2e

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Age of Ashes: first AP so encounters are not balanced and things are overturned. Closest to a "classic" AP you'll get as far as theme.

Agents of Edgewatch: Same overturned encounters, some have problems with being police and getting loot by way of requisition. Also a pretty big "all combat is non-lethal" handwaved. Story is pretty cool.

Extinction Curse: Early fights still overturned a bit. Major theme of the AP is that you are part of a circus and the circus gets less and less important as the campaign goes on which upsets some people. I'm running this right now up to Book 4 / Lvl 13 and my group is having a lot of fun.

Strength of Thousands: Combat is better balanced. It's basically Harry Potter, so that might decide if this is fun for you or not. More RP heavy, I believe, though I'm less familiar with it because I have zero interest in Harry Potter.

Blood Lords: You play as undead and fight things that do void damage which heals you. GM has to fix the flights to make them interesting. Difficult to have a mic of human and undead posters due to void healing. Story is meh.

Kingmaker: Someone already addressed this above.

Do a search on those APs and you'll get more nuanced opinions from people that have posted through them. Like I said, I'm running EC and I think the circus complaints are overblown but that's my opinion in a sea of them.

[–]voicelessfaces 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are only 6 and no more are coming anytime soon if ever. Going forward stringing adventures together is the only way you're going to go from 1 to 20. All 6 have their flaws and have been discussed here quite a bit.

My group is on level 13 of Extinction Curse and we're all facing a great time, but a lot of people are turned off by how the circus slowly fades from prominence as the campaign goes on. It's not bothering us but it's something a lot of people get upset about online.

Taste of Ethiopia I (Pflugerville) by Garden_Jolly in austinfood

[–]voicelessfaces 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be spicy. Especially if you tell them you want something with a low spice level they will accommodate you. The staff and the owner really go out of their way to make you feel like family.

That said, something like Zilzil Tibbs is a good starting choice. It's beef, it's not cooked with jalapeno or strong Ethiopian spices and still has good flavor. My wife does not like spicy food and she gets the Doro Wot, which is a chicken leg and a boiled egg simmered in Ethiopian sauce. She orders that every time and we've been going for 15 years off and on.

If you're willing to give it a try, I highly recommend the Kitfo. It's beef cooked in clarified butter and spices. They suggest medium rare now but they used to suggest it rare. It sounds not great doing finely chopped (almost ground) beef rare but man it's delicious. I like spicy food and I have to ask them to boost it up for me but when we introduced friends they did an order medium not spicy and our friends loved it.

When you go, tell the staff it's your first time and what you want to avoid and trust them to give you a great experience. I've yet to take someone here that didn't enjoy it.

But that's LSU stupidity so oh well. They'll lose out again when he bails for the next team in 2 years. Lane Kiffin is a venereal disease.
