I haven’t found any mexican restaurants in Belgium. Just none. There is a taqueria where I live but it does not scream authentic at all.

As a kid I lived in Thailand and there was an excellent restaurant there with super yummy food - think not sure it was authentic.

Making Mexican food yourself is also tricky as the ingredients (dried chillis) are not easy to find.

Missed opportunity to have the dancers have alternating skin colour and add some interesting patterns to the dance.

True, true… Now if you tell them “that thing is 500ft away” they will start counting how many turns it would take them to get there and it may sink in just how far that is.

Full disclosure: I haven’t gotten there yet.

I think I would describe what is not in the immediate play area around the players. Only use the battlefield around players, not whatever some mage is doing off in the distance. If they move, so does the battlefield. Draw the relevant features on some sheets of paper and switch them out when necessary, or erase and draw if you are using an erasable battle map mat.

If they split the party up, use theatre of the mind, even when fighting. You can still roll dice, discuss positioning, and describe the action without a 2.65m circular map on the table.

They are fighting a Red Dragon later… How do I explain that they don’t have the boon anymore as soon as they are in the material plane? :S

This must be a question I’m too Belgian to understand…

Yep! It’s holding on well.

To the best of my knowledge, the artwork was entered in a contest about African culture and the mini came after that. I didn’t make either of them, was just lucky in my searches.

I personally made her into a Druid Circle of Sheppard.

Definitely fries and beer. Switzerland gets away with being an excellent chocolate producer. But Belgian beer is renowned everywhere.

Fries may be associated with France, ours taste better because we fry them twice.

Sidenote: am I the only person offended by foreign mayonnaise? It’s somehow always sweet. What the heck?

Thanks! I’ll check this out.

“No” is a very powerfull word.

If you are a minor and didn’t have a choice, I sincerely sympathize with your fate.

Yes! You are posting in one…

Subreddits are called “Communities” on Lemmy. You can “Join” a community (as long as your instance is federated with the instance hosting that community), and it will be like “subscribing” to the community.

On the right hand side of your “homepage” you will see the communities you are subscribed to under “Subscribed to communities”.

On said homepage you can also choose to filter content on “Subscribed” / “Local” / “All” which translates to “only the communities I joined” / “only the communities hosted on this instance” / “everyyyything”.

Hope this helps… Others have likely explained it better than myself.

You may not like my answer but here goes: Time will tell.

Those who have jumped ship indefinitely will build a community here in the Fediverse. Those who miss Reddit too much will return there and use the official app.

By staying you are building something new. It may not be Reddit, and it may never be Reddit. But there are still millions of users who are here to stay and will become a community.

I hope it will not become a “they” vs “us” thing. Both platforms can exist peacefully, the same way Facebook and Twitter coexist.

Perhaps a difference in content style or format will appear in time, which will make people choose one platform over the other. But that’s not bad. Competition is healthy.

I’m staying, and I’m curious to see where Lemmy is going. All I can do is contribute to making it a place I want to hang out in.

No you don’t. We use dice, bottle caps, even snacks if we don’t have minis available.

Playing with minis is more expensive but it’s a hobby to most people to design a character, (have it) print and paint.

You are doing great just by accepting the fact you need to lose weight and putting honest effort into it. Baby steps… don’t go from zero to hero (~insert the song from Hercules here~).

I personally don’t do calorie counting, but give myself objectives. My current objective is to eat more green vegetables, and lean protein (chicken, egg whites, white fish…) three times per week. Just three times. I put a littlke circle in my agenda when it worked, and can pat myself on the back when I succeed at the end of the week.

I also plan my cheat days ahead of time. If I know I am going to have a cheat day (like this Saturday, when I will be attending a wedding), I put it in the calendar. When I am tempted to order food, or make something fatty, I check the calendar to see if my “alotted cheat meal” has already been claimed for the week.

The single hardest thing to do, for me at least, is listen to your body. Are you actually still hungry when you are going back for seconds? Thirds? Or do you crave the food, the pleasure of the tasty flavors, the reassurance of a tummy well filled (stuffed, really)? I try to use smaller plates too, to force myself to eat smaller portions, and make that evaluation when I empty my first plate: am I still hungry, truly hungry?

Be gracious with yourself. Chances are, you built the “bad” habits over years and years of mindless behavior with food. Now you need to dedicate years and years building mindfull ones.

Anyway… there’s my two cents of wisdom. Good luck!

Oohhhh excellent prompts. I’m already going wild with ideas. Thanks so much!
