hello i literally love him. biased towards absolute goobers. Also i rlly like ur art hiii!! behold ur son whom i love very much. kissing him on his cute lil forehead <3

[quidcumque]

Fuck me, so I got into Stardew mods, right? On this my second modded run, I add LoveofCooking and pretty much the whole PPJA suite. Amongst others, but let’s focus here

BECAUSE I ENJOY COMPLETIONISM, I want to get Perfection from Qi, right? Requiring all shipped things, all cooked things, etc

There’s shit you CAN’T GET in the game but are REQUIRED for Perfection. When I say “can’t get” I mean either the recipe is broken, there ISN’T a recipe, or there isn’t a recipe AND you can’t buy the fucking thing. I don’t code yet, but I can adequately poke shit until it works, so I went into the various .jsons to figure it the fuck out. SUCCESSFULLY, much to my satisfaction

Buuuuuuut at least for the PPJA stuff, there’s no section I can find anywhere to post my solutions for whomever else is losing their mind? Maybe there’s a discord I’m ignoring, but on Nexus the mod authors took away the posts/bugs tabs, and I didn’t see any comment sections on any of the, like, five or eight semi-defunct wikis and githubs and everything. Love the PPJA stuff, it’s a massive endeavor. Probably stripped out the interaction options because they have enough to do, but it definitely leaves the users in a “figure it out or get fucked” situation

So anyway here’s some of my fuckin notes, added as I find and figure them out

”Broken” = recipe / producer rules exist in .json, but can’t be used in-game (for machines, sometimes because of duplicate InputIdentifiers)

”Missing” = recipe / producer rules straight don’t exist in .json, but item is required for Shipping or Cooking perfection. You can tell what these are by using LookUpAnything (or checking every Objects folder, if you hate yourself) (Updated w/ more fixes) PPJA - ARTISAN VALLEY

Sorbet Machine -- go into the PFM folder to the ProducerRules.json

BROKEN: Strawberry Dragon Fruit Fruit Sorbet, Dragon Fruit Sorbet

swap duplicate InputIdentifier and one of its AdditionalFuels. Make sure all InputIdentifiers are unique

MISSING: Mango Passion Fruit Fruit Sorbet

copy/paste one of the working rules and change out the InputIdentifier/AdditionalFuels. Use item description and/or culinary judgement for ingredients

Ice Cream Machine -- this ain’t the mod’s fault, but the 3rd party Documentation erroneously lists banana sapling as an ingredient for Banana Ice Cream, but you just need a damn banana. IQ of lots but that took me WAY too long to figure out

Keg / Still -- go into the PFM folder to the ProducerRules.json

BROKEN: Cauim

move this to Still section, change “Keg” to “Still”    {        "ProducerName": "Keg",        "InputIdentifier": "Cassava",        "InputStack": 1,        "MinutesUntilReady": 2360,        "OutputIdentifier": "Cauim",        "Sounds": ["Ship"],    },

Various -- go into the JA folder, Objects folder, relevant item folder, object.json items needed for the Shipping collection that don’t have a recipe BECAUSE THEIR INGREDIENTS DON’T EXIST YET.

MISSING: Carolina Reaper Extract, Ghost Pepper Extract, Poblano Extract, Scotch Bonnet Extract, Serrano Extract

add this to the line after recipe, adjusting From/Price as needed "CanPurchase": true, "PurchaseFrom": "Gus", "PurchasePrice": 1000,

PPJA - FRESH MEAT

DNA Sequencer -- go into the PFM folder to the ProducerRules.json

BROKEN: Chicken DNA, Duck DNA

either: change OutputProbability from 1 to .5 

or: remove this from select Chicken/Duck input options, using a list of Vanilla item codes to figure out InputIdentifiers (I took it off duck feather & void egg):        "AdditionalOutputs": [        {            "OutputProbability": 1,            "OutputIdentifier": "Bird DNA",        }, ],

Recipes -- go into the JA folder, Objects folder, relevant item folder, object.json

BROKEN: Barbecue Sausage, Beast n’ Onion Handpie, Chicken Nuggets, Chippy Curry, Cottage Pie, Fish and Chips, Phoenix Au Vin, Schnitzel, Spaghetti Bolognese, Sweet and Sour Pork with Rice, Sweet n’ Sour Bites, Teriyaki, Venison Handpie, 

either: add this line after PurchasePrice, adjusting requirements if needed "PurchaseRequirements": ["HasCookingRecipe Batter", "y 3",],

or: add missing comma after quotes in PurchaseRequirements (or at end of PurchaseRequirements line)

or: add this line above PurchaseFrom (if the IsDefault line is there, replace with this)        "CanPurchase": true,

or: make sure the brackets above PurchaseFrom are }], not },],

BROKEN: Roasted Fowl

just replace all lines between Count and NameLocalization with this (it’s all sorts of fucked up)        }],        "PurchaseFrom": "Gus",        "PurchasePrice": 2000,        "PurchaseRequirements": ["HasCookingRecipe Batter", "y 3",],    },    "NameLocalization":    {

BROKEN: Tonkatsu

same as above, replace all lines between Count and NameLocalization with this        }],        "CanPurchase": true,        "PurchaseFrom": "Gus",        "PurchasePrice": 2000,        "PurchaseRequirements": ["HasCookingRecipe Batter", "y 4",],    },

FRESH MEAT FOR BUG NET

DNA Sequencer -- in ProducerRules.json

BROKEN: every single goddamn one

for each, replace “Critter Cage - ” with “Critter Cage: ”

fucking hell

MISSING: Critter DNA

where appropriate (I did everything except birds), add this after Sounds line        "AdditionalOutputs": [        {            "OutputProbability": .5,            "OutputIdentifier": "Critter DNA",        }, ],

PPJA - EVEN MORE RECIPES

Cooking - go into the JA folder, Objects folder, item folder, object.json

MISSING: Black Coffee, Milky Coffee, Milky Strawberry Juice, Peach Milk, Pathos Cookie, Cola can purchase product from Gus, but recipe itself doesn’t exist. Needed for Cooking perfection

replace Recipe line through PurchasePrice line with the following. Edit Ingredients/From/Price as needed (this was Pathos Cookie)    "Recipe":    {        "ResultCount": 1,        "Ingredients": [            {                "Object": 246,                "Count": 1,            },            {                "Object": 260,                "Count": 1,            },            {                "Object": "Mint",                "Count": 1,            },        ],        "CanPurchase": true,        "PurchaseFrom": "Gus",        "PurchasePrice": 700,            },  

BROKEN: Lemon Pie, Meuniere, Halloumi Burger, Salmon Fillet

either: add missing comma after quotes in PurchaseRequirements

or: add this line above PurchaseFrom (if the IsDefault line is there, replace with this)       "CanPurchase": true,

**Halloumi Burger, might need to delete “Bread” from PurchaseRequirements, leaving just “Halloumi” (I edited several things, so not sure what all fixed it, but “Halloumi Bread” isn’t an actual recipe, so requiring it means you’ll never meet that requirement)

LOVE OF COOKING

Various -- go to assets --> (eg)NettlesPack --> Objects --> (eg)Nettle Tea --> object.json

MISSING: Nettle Tea, Cider, maybe others?

change “CanPurchase” to true (default.json in i18n folder says you learn how to brew Nettle Tea as a cooking skill level-up bonus, NO EFFING CLUE how to make that not glitched. Game currently requires it for Shipping, not Cooking)

FORAGE OF FERNGILL

Kombucha Jar --  go into the PFM folder to the ProducerRules.json

BROKEN: Salty Kombucha, Sour Kombucha

replace ContextTags in the InputIdentifiers with object names or vanilla Item IDs

duplicate entire entry w/ new InputIdentifier to have multiple possible inputs

@shekorla Ganon won’t know what hit him

[toastysol]

Thinking about how, between him and V, Jackie is by far the more personable of the two. He oozes such easy charisma that it's really hard to actually hate him. He's the one with connections all over Night City. V's best friend who always knows a guy. He hooks V up with whoever they could possibly need. Everyone who's ever met him either loves him, or has great respect for him.

And yet. Despite the number of people he knows and who know him, after he dies, V is the one they remember. "Didn't you have someone with you?" Sandra asks. "You did well, V. You and that... friend of yours." Wakako states. Jackie is the one who got them that job. Or at least that's what the prologue sequence led me to believe. V asks him if Wakako had any tips for the Sandra case. Therefore, Jackie was the one who got them hired. I cant tell if Wakako forgot his name on purpose cause she didn't like him/care enough or genuinely doesn't remember. I know Sandra has good reason not to. She was unconscious.

It's just gut wrenching to me. Jackie put in all this work, prolly called in so many favors, to help V get to where they needed to be, and in the end, no one knows his name. He went out with a bang and didn't even get a footnote. Of course, V can change that after the game if they want I would guess. Use their prestige and respect to spread the word about the bestest friend they ever had in nc. He does get his own drink at the Afterlife, but does anyone know who they're drinking? How colorful and full of life he was? Do they know how he died? What he did?

And I mean, his name seemed to be at least somewhat well-known in the valentinos. But that means about jack squat in the merc world. He was supposed to be a legend, but all he ended up as was a ghost.

What makes this worse in my canon, is that the "Major Leagues" was never even V's dream. It always belonged to Jack. When he chases it, he does so in Jackie's place. For him. Not for V. Sometimes he wishes it were Jackie's name he was using, just so someone would hear it and be filled with hope for the future. Just like Jackie was with Morgan Blackhand, Andrew Weyland, and Adam Smasher. He carries Jackie's ghost on his back, every rung of the ladder, and no one even sees it.

I caught this rambunctious creature flying around the kitchen. Outside you go.

Life pro tip: a cheap butterfly net with telescoping handle is excellent for relocating small friends, especially if they’re skittish and obsessed with the ceiling.

Johnny and Pony love collecting critters. Lizards, beetles, frogs. But their personal favourite is spiders and putting them on the rest of the gang's back or sumthn.

Dallas: *girl screams in terror and jumps on a chair*

Soda: "What?! What is it?! You good?"

Dallas: "NO! Them fckers put a tarantula on my arm!"

Johnny and Pony: *Both Cackling*

Soda: *Staring at the tiniest spider he's ever seen*

Spider: :3

Dallas Winston is afraid of spiders, I'm calling it. Also Johnny loves snakes, he will "pspsps" the little garden snake he finds.

they would 😭

People acting like animals should have a use or a purpose so that they have the right to continue existing is one of the most regressive and annoying things that I keep seeing fucking EVERYWHERE.

Animals should be allowed to live and are important for the simple fact that they are here and alive. You see it a lot with insects. Just because they are personally annoying to you doesn't mean they are less deserving of life. Everything interacts with everything else to keep the whole world ticking around, and it is not up to us to upset that. So what if mosquitoes annoy you. I don't give a shit. They shouldn't be blanket exterminated because of this. Not to mention the fact that they are important. They are pollinators, food for other animals, but even if they weren't, even if they just did nothing, that wouldn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to exist. What gives you the authority to decide that, huh? Why are you so special?

This goes for humans too, by the way. Why must a person contribute or work or whatever to be worthy of being loved and supported? They're alive, and therefore have inherent value. If you think that isn't enough, then you are the problem. Have some god damn compassion, or failing that, just keep quiet.

a trio of banded net-winged beetles (Calopteron reticulatum or C. discrepans) engaged in some sort of indescribable debauchery

net-winged beetles (Lycidae) are one of several families closely related to fireflies, but while most members of this group are carnivorous as larvae, those of lycids feed on slime molds and fungi.
