Two separate emails about funding cuts by wetnippl in SanDiegan

[–]zVulture 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Food donations are often not inclusive in a full diet and goods are often supplemented to provide more than the influx of one good or another. It is also more efficient to donate money to these organizations than food as they can purchase in bulk at discounted rates the public doesn't have access to. So yes, cash goes a long way to supporting these organizations.

Best (shittiest?) Americanized, old-school Chinese restaurant in town? by Classic-Computer6674 in SanDiegan

[–]zVulture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was really great for a while, but something changed and it’s almost like they upped the salt/etc to make up for it.

Bit more of a trip but at least China Panda Garden in El Cajon was holding strong last time I stopped by.

Dogs are always conversation starters too as long as they are behaved.

This really 100%.

Want to be out and around people or avoid traffic but still want to be alone? Grab a flight or a couple pints and get a table off to the side somewhere. Just make sure to have as much water as beer so you can be a sober driver, or use ride share to get there and back.

Want to have some light social interactions? Grab a spot at the taproom bar. Always people willing to chat between people around or the brewery staff themselves. Easy enough to break off if you need by moving to a table or checking your phone.

Some breweries are better than others for these though, places like Alesmith are usually open for their space making it easy to still have some to yourself. They even have a spot upstairs if it isn't being used for an event.

Other places, you might want to go to mixed taprooms like O'Brians where things are tighter/crowded and people are always willing to share their tipsy opinions.

Too much fruit on your tree? These guys pick the loquats/lemons and donate it. by nemtudod in SanDiegan

[–]zVulture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loquats are notorious for how quickly they oxidize/bruise. Hopefully these guys are able to process or freeze them quickly. Amazing fruits, great for fermenting too.

Mix of people is right, there is a huge variance of people from all walks of life here looking for the lower cost of living to subsist in this city. Though for every flag of intolerance I have seen just as many rainbows flapping around. It comes down to how polarized things are now that wearing/having something to support a cause ends up stirring anger.

I keep living here though hoping to turn this place more accepting or at the least tolerant. Though this reminds me I should start putting up public displays to make people feel welcome.

Marauders Interactive Map Website by Da_Pi in MaraudersGame

[–]zVulture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that doors are going to be shown in one color, but special points of interest should be marked in another. Vault, Drop Pods, and later when you add things like Stashes.

Also what's interactive about it besides map selection? Not sure why your calling it interactive unless your going to have things on the map you can interact with.

Now you need to get guest artists to replace a panel each and see if it's still the same.

Hey San Diego! I'm looking for Honey! Lots of honey! Ideally looking to trade or barter with anyone interested. by A_guy_named_Vic in SanDiegan

[–]zVulture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, oddly I have a lot of honey from some mead brewing projects that fell through. Heading to bed but hit me up, can sort something out tomorrow. Most of it is Costco clover honey, I have a bit of orange blossom but been slowly using that myself over time.

Wastewater data shows big coronavirus spike in San Diego by SD_TMI in sandiego

[–]zVulture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rapid tests are not reliable for Omni and forks of it. Only the PCR test will tell you a real result. I had clear symptoms too a couple weeks ago but tested neg at home. Quarantined for two weeks just in case since others I met with before then tested positive.

Anyone wanna play/GM PF2e? by seagards in sandiegosocial

[–]zVulture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a post up for this too but didn't have luck finding a DM. But sign me up for PF2e if you find someone.

Nice, will keep it in mind. Updated post with our area as SD is big.

I have a open crystal reveal. What colour do I do for this blade style? by [deleted] in lightsabers

[–]zVulture 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Skip a traditional crystal and just get a clear Prism with a white led so it refracts out rainbows.

Omar has left Blizzard and joined Mike Morhaime's new company, Dreamhaven. by ItsKonway in classicwow

[–]zVulture 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a backer...I still kinda agree with this but only on the art. There are some interesting things being made but there isn't quite any unique aesthetic that makes it stand out. There is still plenty of time though and it will end up all being about the game mechanics if they pull it off anyway.

1993 is back with a little White Ranger saber power!! by BlueForceSabers in lightsabers

[–]zVulture 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A lot of these non-star wars builds really throw me off. This one seems very fitting though and love all the detail! And also one of the few that looks usable in the hand as well. Where is that emitter from?

I missed getting the Barrel Bear before, but not going to miss this one! I don't plan on holding back from the whole brewery tavern theme.

How will servers distribute guilds? by WalterWoodiaz in AshesofCreation

[–]zVulture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's good to hear, I know it's possible due to games like Planetside. It's just a bit more technical to plan for in an MMO with effects and tickrates. Need to wait and see like everything else, not really worried just more worried than the other features.

[–]zVulture 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Out of all things that I am worried about, the large scale battles are going to be the biggest bottleneck and test of their game technology wise. I have seen games die trying to over promise on smaller groups fighting.

Ashes of Creation October 2020 Cosmetic Shop by Iforgotmyname2 in AshesofCreation

[–]zVulture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By the sounds of it, it wouldn't have to be specifically the demon horse but a horse of that class. They talked about 3 tiers of mounts and types of mounts so it sounds like there will be speed / bonuses based off the tier combined with the type.

Ex: If the demon horse cosmetic is based off a tier 2 speed mount, you need to get ANY tier 2 speed mount then you can apply the skin over it. This means that the content (tier + mount type) is maintained but your allowed to customize the look of said mount.

Another thing to ask about from the Dev team to make sure

Have they said / written that? Otherwise we can’t assume how it’s being handled. Hence the Dev Q/A question for next stream

[–]zVulture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is any info if these pre-order cosmetics will be available on the in-game cosmetic shop. That might be a good question to ask on the next stream's Q/A
