    As an actual game it was pretty terrible. Unique skills only being learnable by a single person, multiple nested menus to perform basic functions like equipping something, lots of questionable things like overtuned traps and trap rooms in low level areas.

  • 2 months since getting inked. Time for a touch up?

    Ehhhh, up to you. My skin doesn't take lighter colours well at all and you might have the same issue. A touch up might not do a lot for you. Maybe consider a darker outline on the gold parts to make them more defined. One thing to also consider is that the whole thing will soften and fuzz out a bit as time goes on. Looks like you've got a fair bit of scar tissue there too. Were you at a reputable shop?

    It's such a disgusting waste of taxpayer dollars. Would I like to see expanded hours and locations? Absolutely, but privatizing ANOTHER Crown corporation isn't the way to go about it. LCBO contributes something like 2.5 billion dollars to the Ontario government. I haven't seen anything from Ford about how that revenue stream will be replaced after it gets redirected into the pockets of Circle K.

  • Am I completely off base to expect my partner to be transparent about her inheritance?

    Could you maybe suggest meeting jointly or separately with a financial planner? Express a desire to make sure household expenses are covered and possibly invest in your kids future, but be clear that you don't see her inheritance, however much it is, as a chance for you to buy a sports car or something.

    My parents had a joint account for household expenses and would discuss how to split major purchases like new cars, but they both had separate accounts and investments.

    I'm fortunate enough to live near a river with a loop that makes it a perfect lazy river, so that's pretty much my summer.

    I can see it with eggs, if you don't wash eggs they're shelf stable for a couple weeks because of a natural coating. I was super confused when I went to the UK and all the eggs were on a shelf at the supermarket instead of in a cooler.

  • Ontario Science Centre to close immediately: province

    Remember what the Conservatives have done at a provincial level, and think of the damage they will cause if federally elected. They're shutting down the science center and selling the land to a private company to build a spa, trying to sell off the green belt, cancelling the cap and trade program, and failing to provide consumer EV incentives like other provinces.

    Honestly I feel the movie ending works better. Having a bunch of fancy energy generating plants blow up in multiple cities makes more sense than some weird bioengineered psychic alien octopus that wipes out New York.

    I didn't realize he had skin cancer. I know after Logan he said he didn't want to do the kind of insane diet and workout it takes to achieve the look. I have no issue with using CGI to protect an actor's health.

    Well thankfully Gabe has lost a ton of weight in recent years. Man is looking absolutely svelte these days. Here's hoping he has many more years of good health.

    I'm also guessing he'll hand pick a successor that will carry on his views, instead of dying in office and having some kind of CEO election free-for-all.

    Hmmm, yeah that's weird. You should see your own and the reply. Couldn't hurt to update/reinstall. I'm on version 1.0.177 if that helps.

    By design, you'll see your comment and then the reply below it that you clicked on in the inbox. You only see that one conversation thread, so you won't see other replies to your comment. You need to hit the "view full post" button to see everything.

  • I have chiaki4deck set up and running smoothly, but I noticed it binds the ps4 controller buttons to keyboard. This makes in-game chat in FFXIV unusable with a keyboard. I've tried disabling direct chat in game and remapping the Cross button so it doesn't use Enter, but that didn't work. Does anyone have any advice for using a keyboard for in game chat through chiaki4deck? The Steam Deck is connected to a usb-c dock plugged into the tv, with a wireless keyboard connected to the dock. The PS5 is in another room.

    Are there general stats to shoot for on relics? I'm guessing most people go crit for primary where possible and attack % for secondary? Maybe speed for primary on boots, or energy regen for support characters?

    I don't know what to do with my hands. I'm legitimately so nervous and self conscious when I'm expected to dance. I have a company party coming up and I'm seriously considering taking lessons. How do I get out of my head and enjoy myself?

    I started late and missed the Seele banner. I have a bunch of Supports in my friend list but it just isn't the same as owning her myself.
