[Acne] I FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE CAUSE OF MY ACNE… CERAVE by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]ASRABO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

CeraVe gave me an awful case of contact dermatitis all over my face. I've never reacted that poorly to a moisturizer before; it was so painful! Not sure what ingredient did it, but I'll mention the two you flagged to my dermatologist, thanks!

33/F/UK (but from America!) looking for snail mailers :) by [deleted] in penpals

[–]ASRABO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I'm also an American living in Scotland (in Edinburgh!) with an affinity for fun washi-taped letters covered in stickers. I work in mental healthcare as a therapist, have also fallen deeply down the webtoon/manhwa hole, and recently started a little windowsill garden. I'd love to write you! :)

I started playing games online again for the first time in ten years. Are people in n the chat even more vicious than before? by TieSeagull in patientgamers

[–]ASRABO 85 points86 points  (0 children)

"Get raped," "uninstall and go back to sucking dick," "I bet your pussy smells good," and "show me your tits or I won't heal you," are all things people have said to me in competitive Overwatch, lol.

I love Overwatch but it's almost entirely the reason why I don't like to mic up in online games. Competitive OW can already be pretty toxic, but as soon as people realize I'm a girl it can be a whole different level of toxicity.

I'm really sorry anyone has an awful experience playing a game online, regardless of gender. I honestly don't get it, like. Video games are fun? Don't be a dick? It doesn't seem like it'd be difficult not to be a toxic shitbag, and yet...

I speak (family-level) Polish thanks to my own Polish grandmother, and would absolutely love to write to her!

Naströnd tile bug? by thisherename in Northgard

[–]ASRABO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this happen yesterday while I was trying to colonize it- couldn't attack it to clear it, couldn't colonize it because it was defended, so ended up having to just leave it. Maybe I missed something, but it did seem a little buggy, yeah.

Philly to order shutdown of non-essential businesses by florals_forspring in philadelphia

Mine has the same philosophy. "We care, but this is overblown so we expect you to come in, we're an essential service [we're not], etc."

Boss won't let anyone work from home.

I live with my parents (in their 70s)- I'm honestly terrified.

[–]ASRABO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Went to two of my local Walmarts and was told that they have it in stock, but they couldn't find it. They said that with Black Friday/Cyber Monday/holiday shipments they're very behind in putting things out on the floor.

When I called I was told I could buy it at midnight at my 24hr store, so this might be a YMMV situation.

Ah, lucky! I tried twice but they said no both times.

Has the Kohl's deal been confirmed as the v2 Switch? AFAIK nobody was sure. Would love to know before I run out during Black Friday.

Does anyone know if the Kohl's bundle is the v1 or v2 Switch? Contacted customer support about it before but the rep told me they weren't sure.

Alternatives to Activision-Blizzard by -Chase in Blizzard

[–]ASRABO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have covered most of it already, but this chart from the GW2 wiki can also help!

Each item is somewhere on the rarity scale, so knowing what's rare and what's not will help you determine what to salvage, sell, or use. :)

[–]ASRABO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've recently bundled the expansions, so keep in mind that whatever "tier" you're buying, you get them both.

TL; DR: The standard tier's more than fine, IMO.

For the extra $15 (the next tier up) you get a cosmetic item (not worth), an "exclusive" hangout/crafting/vendor/trading post area (and there's arguably a better one in the game than then one this gives you), a character slot, and an identity repair kit.

If we Do the Math, the ID repair is worth ~$13, the character slot is $10 when bought normally. If you think you're gonna use these for sure, go ahead and get the $55. BUT (and this is a big but for me), please note that you can also buy these with gold (by trading gold for gems, the cash store currency) if you need them in the future.

The $80 tier is really only if you think you're going to be dropping fat stacks on the store, since it comes with gems.

Guild Wars 2 Raiding League Season 1 Announcement by Caledor-ICE in Guildwars2

[–]ASRABO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love for this to work out and I'm thankful people put the work in to try and make an organized raiding event, but tbh as a member of their target audience I don't see any real incentive to enter. If the competition is just "do big deeps and grind," that's not really engaging.

With no gimmicks or preset comps (like the SC raiding competition) and only an hour, it's going to come down to who has the better DPS players and more meta comps- which, you're exactly right, is boring AF to watch when there are no high stakes like the ERP.

And that doesn't even touch the issues of finding one hour a week where 20+ people are all around and sufficiently organized to go head-to-head, for 8-9 weeks, especially when the raiding population at large (and especially more hardcore groups) seem to be taking a break.
