charcoalhibiscus,

There’s no way to unlock WT3 without doing the capstone dungeon in 2, so whether or not you remember doing it you definitely did already :)

charcoalhibiscus,

I was real mad about this patch (I hopped on to play about an hour after it hit and boy was it no longer fun) but I feel better after this chat thing. Fixes to the actual problems might take some time but they acknowledged the mistake and made concrete promises of specific things to address and that counts for a lot with me.

Today’s patch to Helltides makes them unplayably not fun

I’m really not one to complain about how a game is unplayable, but this patch’s helltides updates legitimately mean I’m stopping interacting with this feature until they fix it. Which I’m actually really sad about, because I was just getting into it. Between class nerfs, chest price increases, and extra level to enemies...

charcoalhibiscus,

Yeah, that’s been my experience - that the people who are the least empathetic are the people who are having the same problem and trying the “tough love” approach on themselves to attempt to overcome it. They’ve shut off their compassion sensors because they can’t afford to apply any to themselves, so it’s not there for others either.

charcoalhibiscus,

Update: I kept a careful eye on them and figured out what they’re doing when they run off: they’re standing still very close facing each other. Which I assume means they’ve run into each other and glitched but perhaps they’re just having a hugging contest.

Anyway, is it possible for a random user to submit a bug report or do I just have to wait for someone important to notice?

charcoalhibiscus,

Yeees me too.

There are a couple nail art ones already! They just need more people and posts. Search for “nails”.

[D4] Diablo IV Pulls Rarest Item After Fans Find Easy Exploit (kotaku.com)

Diablo IV has six Uber Uniques that are the rarest and some of the most powerful items in the game. Players have spent hundreds of hours without ever coming across them—until now. A trick for easily earning them was recently discovered and Blizzard has now removed the items from the game entirely to try and stop the madness....

charcoalhibiscus,

Tbh this seems like an entirely predictable consequence of not having enough good endgame equipment. Barbarians don’t really have other unique helms, you say? How weird! It was definitely like that the day before the patch, too. You know, when everyone was complaining about the lack of variety and interestingness in endgame loot.

charcoalhibiscus,

Super neat! That explanation makes sense. I don’t know how the one packet got unsealed (it didn’t look unsealed) but it must have been.

The coffee shards were all shiny and they clinked when you tapped them together or against things. It was cool. Never seen anything like it.

High functioning autistic eight year-old daughter asking for your guys advice.

Hello all, my daughter is eight years old. She is high functioning autistic. One trouble she has is she will either misunderstand social situation’s or become easily triggered. When these things happen her mind becomes disorganized and she will have meltdowns. She will not be able to gather her thoughts and ends up yelling at...

charcoalhibiscus,

In many emotional regulation frameworks (DBT, mindfulness) they talk about the recognition and pause as the first two steps. Noticing you’re feeling a certain way, and then learning to take a quick pause from doing anything - “one, two, three”. That gives you a small space within which you can then learn how to respond differently than instinct. Probably she’s not old enough to have learned those two steps yet. (Many adults haven’t either!) So maybe start there. Just “recognize” first, then “pause” after she’s learned the first one. It may take awhile, and that’s ok. Once she’s learned them they will be very powerful for many different things.

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities

Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities. In my case it'd be stuff like poetry, yoga, religion, linguistics, meditation. Or many other communities I'd doubt they'd form a...

charcoalhibiscus,

I miss bakingfails and the nail polish community :/

What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful

At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.

charcoalhibiscus,

Most of AITA was fanfic too - just a deeply improbable amount of twins, pregnancies, weddings, and twin pregnancies at weddings. Once I stumbled upon a megapost that was all the ones about food, though, and it was great, because nearly no one bothers to make up a drama about lasagna.

The one silver lining was it brought us the glory that was the “everything in this sub is fake” punchline story, if anyone else remembers that one.

Best places to get human reviews/recommendations outside of reddit?

Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.

charcoalhibiscus,

Bless you, stranger

charcoalhibiscus,

If it’s home-related (or services) I’ve had decent luck with Nextdoor.

charcoalhibiscus,

Alas! Yeah I saw a fair bit of that go by but mostly ignored it; my area is fairly diverse politically so there were people yelling into the void and also people who weren’t. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for just like, hanging out and chatting with people, but they’ve been pretty good at least where I am about recommendations. Maybe that does vary by how crappy your neighbors are, though.

charcoalhibiscus,

It was super good. Definitely the type of game where you can’t just spam attacks, you really need to be strategic and think about it, which I appreciated. And it’s a great couch coop, like others have said.

charcoalhibiscus,

What’s the best/least obnoxious way to suggest to communities who haven’t brought up migrating yet that they should consider it?

There’s like 3 subs that if they migrated over, I’d happily just stay here forever and never go back.

charcoalhibiscus,

How Baking Works by Paula Figoni. Fantastic and thorough run-down of practical baking science.
