Happy birthday!

I’m usually simple, haha. Grilled new York strip steak, grilled corn on the cob, onion strings, and a dollop of creamy mashed potatoes.

Either that or carbonara.

Lemon bars, banana pudding (with nilla wafers), or my great grandma’s angel food cake recipe for dessert.

Good luck figuring it out

With Ironclad, I really love when you get a good strength build going. Demon Form early game is so cash money

With the Silent, Poison builds are my go to, but if you get a good something going with Shivs in the beginning, it’s so much fun.

The Defect, I recently defeated A3 with a channel lightning build - where you channel for every time you get hit. I was channeling, i think 6 every hit and had +4 focus, so when the heart did the 4x12 attack, it destroyed itself. Felt incredible.

I haven’t yet figured out a solid strat for The Watcher, but divinity is fun and I enjoy going full wrath, but having enough defense to back that up proves difficult.

In terms of similar games, if I’m feeling a little more casual/braindead, Peglin is a lot of fun with a similar deckbuilding style. I have yet to figure out any really good builds and I think some balls are definitely better than others, but it’s still fun and super casual.

Ironclad is so good to rely back on for consistent builds, I feel like. I think I have the most fun with The Silent and The Defect, personally, but Ironclad runs are just so straightforward and there’s so many good builds.

So. Much. Pathfinder 2e. And I love it.

I just had a session one for a Wednesday night campaign with a character I’m so excited to play. I have a Friday night campaign I really love with a great character. And my Sunday campaign is marching steadily onward - although I cannot wait to finish Gatewalkers so I can homebrew. Gatewalkers is fine and it’s a lot of fun (the reveal in act 3 of the 1st book was incredible), but I hate running out of books. I love homebrew and I miss it dearly.

I’ve been trying to get together my friends IRL to play the beginner’s box because I don’t think I can ever go back to 5e after experiencing the ease at which PF balances everything. But schedules are, of course, the conflict.

I’ve pulled out an old laptop to try Linux Mint because I’m really over Windows’ whole thing and I just need to get my hands on mint before I fully commit. But thanks for the shoutout!

Oh that’s great to hear! Are the fans loud? I could get a smaller case, but I read the stock fans are quiet and work well.

My experience is only from Vancouver and though I’ve visited many times, I don’t live there, but

The public transportation and mixed zoning is something that I wish every city had. The city is massive but it feels cozy and entirely accessible.

2x22" is what I have already and it fits my desk well and it’s not too much, if that makes any sense. I’m going to also look at an ultrawide physically over the weekend and see how it feels, but i like to snap windows to the sides of the screens and I don’t know enough about ultrawides to know if you can do that easily, haha

Ohhh! Thanks!

Let myself make an impulse decision so I’m getting a tattoo that is completely silly and stupid. I’m hoping I won’t regret it

Dear user,

Fuck you :)

Kindly,

A new loser.

Dang. This definitely hits hard. What a great line and what a great insight.

I think a few other commenters have said the same about already knowing what I want but just not being able to take the step. I think this will help.

Thanks :)

I’ve done this countless times for smaller things, but I’ve never thought to apply the coin flip to big changes. I’ll give it a shot.

I appreciate your story and your advice. Thanks for the kernels of wisdom :)

Both depressing and enlightening. I wish I could read more about her travels and the people she met. I think there’s always been a sort of stereotype that if you’re in a greyhound crossing state lines, you’re in a bad way, but I’m sure it wasn’t always the case.

I bounce around between three or so.

I feel like I can always find something to do in Beatsaber, whether trying to beat my own scores or trying new modes or new modded songs.

Risk of Rain 2 is also great for mindless entertainment and trying new things.

Distance. It’s sort of a racing game but with a story? It gets hard as hell but it’s tons of fun and the music is great. It’s criminally underplayed in my opinion

I stopped that voice in my head that would constantly pop up and say “I’m so stupid” or similar variations.

It took me some time to understand that mistakes are just mistakes and everyone makes them. It easy to take all the blame and demean yourself for every little thing, but it feels so much better to stop those words in their tracks and reevaluate.

I’m far too lazy to meal prep on my weekends. But I will choose 3-4 dinners for the week and write it down like a menu and get the ingredients I need for them. If I know it’s going to be a crazy week, I will cut the vegetables immediately after grocery shopping that way I can just dump them in the pan or bowl or whatever when I’m cooking. Then I have options to choose from several different foods over the week.

I always make enough to have leftovers so I don’t have to plan for lunches too.

Best of luck

I tried to go on vacation in the beginning of June. Was going camping in a very remote area in Glacier NP. But lo and behold, the day before I left, my DnD group gave me COVID :) I spent all of June sick and am only just recovering finally. But I have no more PTO, so it’ll be a while yet for me again.

I think it’s important to try new food at least once.

Never tried a gyro? Go take a bite

Never tried curry? Put a fork in there

Never tried pho? Oh man lawd, get some

Opening ones palate is so important. Beyond just taste, culturally, I think it’s important. And fun. And tasty.
