  Seems more like using a faulty radiator to make a random rhythm generator. They are using his cells to make “organs” and use the signals of them talking to each other to make a machine move

  I expect this to be a core of something a genuine fan started to create but then has everything that makes it special scooped out via digital melonballer and replaced with shitty microtransactions. Be happy to be surprised but WOTC clearly doesn’t give a fuck about the game they just got dazzled by the success of BG3 and now think they are the ones responsible for it

  As if I needed another reason to never set foot in Texas, fuck man

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By the time of the movies humans have had hyperspace travel for something like 20,000 years. Seems it stands to reason the trillions of sentient lifeforms working and communicating during that time would create some cool shit

  Looks like natural curl pattern vs manually hand twisted curls maybe?

  Almost like you were warned months ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I clean cat vomit out of birkenstocks?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yay a question just for me. Okay so you’re going to want to try a couple things. First give them a good spray of just regular Lysol or adjacent, the idea is first eliminating anything living that might grow back. The next is a product from Lincoln called EZ cleaner. Take the cleaner a few drops of a dish detergent and hot hot water and scrub it into every surface. Then take a rag to blot at the surface a bit. Once they are dry you’re going to take a similarly stiff dry brush and brush them all over with the intent of both making them fuzzy again as well as freeing the dirt that has come to the surface during the cleaning process.

  If that didn’t work and it’s probable it won’t try a few more times. If that still won’t work you might need new Birks or perhaps have a cobbler like me replace the footbeds if you are particularly attached

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Much more involved but you could give it a resin or a CA glue finish. That would involve some hand sanding and polishing potentially but would be way stronger

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you need a break from video games tbh. If you like the role-playing accepts you might try Dnd or another TTRPG.

  Verizon at least has a block by area code setting and that’s saved me a lot of headache

  That and smiles. Feels like a superpower just giving people genuine smiles and watching their whole face change

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No sure shot but it does sound like it’s not the alarm that’s the problem. You’ve trained yourself to be able to ignore your alarm, that it doesn’t mean “get-out-of-bed” time to your unconscious brain. Change the alarm tone on your phone and have a few practice sessions. Set your new alarms after a short nap and as soon as those alarms go off throw off all the covers and stand up fully as soon as you can. The idea is to retrain your brain to get up all the way at the sound of that alarm.

  Another thing that’s really helped me personally is installing a smart light bulb that turns itself on just before my sound alarms start going off. That way I’m not trying to force myself awake in a dark noisy room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Animals that use Drugs⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine it’s either there’s a chemical in the new fungi that specifically makes the rams high but not us or there is something in there that doesn’t affect them but is toxic to us

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How different would the world be if school never ended but you could leave and come back anytime you elect to?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Harvard puts classes online for free, libraries are already paid for through tax dollars and YouTube exists. You can go back to school whenever already friend

  Mucus is one of the bodies innate methods of protection, same with vomiting, same with crying same with sweating. The body knows something is wrong so it kicks the production of those into overdrive to hopefully force whatever was in it out. Its why we start sweating, salivating and sometimes vomit when we eat super spicy peppers despite the fruit being room temp amd full of water

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dust.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or aerosolized cooking oil if the house is open enough or possibly vape residue if they vape at all

  “Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day’s rising he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. Hope he rekindled, and in hope ended; over death, over dread, over doom lifted out of loss, out of life, unto long glory.”

  Wouldn’t surprise me if they were taking notes from studios that got real big off of one or two games but upon subsequent attempts at a similar game fell on its face miserably.
