jjagaimo, in Where do you get affordable scented candles?

To fix tunnelled candles, maybe try wrapping them in foil to help heat the outer edges and level them out

Bearigator,

This is a neat idea, I’ll give it a shot next time we have some!

silver_wings_of_morning, in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

Something by Alastair Reynolds. I think Eversion would work as a mini series. Otherwise Revelation Space would be sick, but perhaps as an animated show instead of live-action.

klemptor,

Pushing Ice might be cool. His other stuff is so hit or miss for me.

Presi300, in What MMOs are you all playing?
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Idk if Warframe counts as an MMO, but it’s the closest thing to an MMO that I play.

The lore is really cool, though it’s mostly for the people who care about it as it is really easy to skip/miss.

The community is mostly super friendly and a big part of the game (yk, trading in-game items for in-game currency, clans, etc…).

The PvE of Warframe imo is top notch, fluent movement, satisfying weapons, time or characters, abilities, strategies and weapons to choose from and reach one can be upgraded individually.

The PvP however… It exists and that’s all I can say about it, it’s kinda just bad and no one plays it.

Idk what RvR means lol.

Oh, and the game is completely free with no forced pay walls and it’ll run on pretty much anything.

Though it’s not perfect, it’s a grind (yk it’s a looter shooter) and there is an annoying mechanic of items taking a while to craft

I’ve never really paid any attention to Warframe, but just youtubed it. Kinda intrigued. How’s the co-op? One of the reasons I wanted an MMO is that a friend of mine is in the same boat looking for something new. We tried Elden Ring hearing that it was co-op, but ER’s co-op is little temporary instances of pulling another player into your world - you can’t actually progress together. The content I’ve seen so far on Warframe looks very single-player oriented, and ER has given me trust issues with things like that, lol.

RvR is realm vs realm. Sometimes it’s called WvW for World vs World. Basically it’s large scale siege style combat - you and like 50 other players from your server are attacking or defending objectives sought by another server, so you get 100+ players clashing in pure chaos. It’s a good time when it’s done right.

Warframe is designed as a Co-op experience, it’s the correct way to play the game, only parts of the main story is single player, cinematic experience and all, 90% of the game is supposed to be played co-op or in a team of randoms… RvR isn’t technically a thing the way you describe it, but there are huge hordes of enemies, so you can think of it as PvR… kinda.

Consider it on the list!

And yea RvR wouldn’t mesh well with a shooter. Guild Wars 2 had it, I think Elder Scrolls Online had it, but that game didn’t hold my attention very long, so might be thinking of something else. Anywho, it’s more a traditional-style MMO thing, and not super common even among them.

theletterw, in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

I know it had a brief go in the 90s, but I’d love to see a proper adaptation of Animorphs. Those books were wild, especially for something I remember starting in 3rd or 4th grade. I’d prefer animated personally, but I would tolerate another live action series. Tech has definitely improved enough to do the alien races justice in either format. Another pick would be Vampire Hunter D. It got a couple anime movies but I think a series could really do it some justice. It has such a fascinating world.

AVengefulAxolotl, in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

For me its simple: Metro 2033 as a movie. Do I want that real bad.

Starb3an, in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

A Darker Shade of Magic was slated for a movie, then a TV show, but I think it’s basically been dropped. I really enjoyed that series and think it would be a pretty easy adaptation.

captainlezbian, in How do you deal with incompetence?

I generally try to avoid possessing these traits

PetDinosaurs, (edited ) in Are there any communities here where I can share NSFW medical images?

So, I can’t imagine a workplace where you would share a x-ray/ultrasound/CT/mr/PET, where you’d invite people to see it, and the people who showed up could get you in trouble with HR.

Just ask.

There’s nothing prurient about it unless you have weird motives.

It’s like showing Netter. One of the classic human anatomy books.

If you do anyone remotely scientific, there should be no problem.

Just be aware, the camera may add ten pounds. The CT scanner seems to add a lot more.

PetDinosaurs,

Anyway. Show it here.

I’ll take a look.

spuncertv, in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. You’d need a massive budget to make the darwinists look convincing though so it’ll probably never happen.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in How do you deal with incompetence?

It depends on in what context. Sometimes I explore the implied “loopholes” that come along.

Example: Due to insufficient management, there is a high demand for a legally mandated universal curfew within a given area of the world, where everyone must be in their homes past a certain time. But that also means that, if violating it is a concern, officers must give you a free ride between places.

Bdtrngl, in How do you deal with incompetence?

Shrug my shoulders and walk away.

XbSuper, in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

Melanie Rawn: The Dragon Prince

I didn’t think special effects could do it justice in the past, but I think they’ve definitely advanced far enough now.

CarbonatedPastaSauce, in How do you deal with incompetence?

I explain slowly and patiently why what management is asking us to do is foolish, not feasible, or can’t be accomplished properly in the timeframe given.

Then I start working on it anyway.

Corkyskog, in Gifts for young kids who are really into airplanes?
@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

Is there a minimum age to fly a lightweight aircraft? Seems like the lighter you go, the less restrictions. Maybe make a drone for him to fly in and you can control it, that has to be legal somewhere.

voracitude, in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

Mate, you’re either gonna hate this or love it: youtu.be/Mq_wZE93ZAY?si=GDsIRT3XyqsPCIqR
