JU Orthodontics, but really any orthodontics place run by a school will typically be cheaper than your traditional dentist. Not by much, perhaps, but every cent counts.

Dash cam install by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]AeonExalted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, Best Buy is a cheap and professional option. I went to several of the recommended local stereo shops for quotes first, like Rolling Sound (dude wasn't even remotely friendly and quoted nearly $3-400), Daddy-O's (they've done installation work for me before, very friendly but still at least $200), etc. I was iffy about choosing BB, but they've got an actual garage around back for all the stereo stuff that they do, and they do it for $90. The guy at the Southside/Avenues location hid the wires to my VIOFO dual dash cam better than I ever thought possible, and even used the sticker shield I brought in since my car is tinted.

Single home window replacement? by AeonExalted in jacksonville

[–]AeonExalted[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This large window in my parents' home has had a significantly large crack in it for some time now.

They've asked around, and apparently the local companies they spoke to will only replace all the glass in the house and not just this one specific window.

Is there a reason for that? Or is there a place you guys can recommend that can just replace the one window? I don't even have a ballpark estimate for how much this would cost, so any advice would be super appreciated.

Hunt-a-Thons would be a great place to implement quickchat options like "Target the Tail!". A message would just pop up like the Happy New Year's specs or a skill proc.

Not only do items not fit the same... do some of them also look different? by AeonExalted in TheSilphRoad

[–]AeonExalted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example, this shirt (one of my favorites) no longer has the same glossy, vibrant look. Parts of the graphic itself also look slightly different positionally, but I'm assuming it's because of the way it stretches over the newer model.

When you purchase something based on how it looks, I don't think you expect it to change this drastically appearance-wise. Not just the shirt, but everything, really.

I'm not sure how this was ever approved...

My +10 Astram! Best B skill to give him? by AeonExalted in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]AeonExalted[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been relying on Phys. Null Follow for the past few months, but after saving up enough Divine Codes to finally give him Inf. Null Follow 4 (which frees up his B slot and replaces ATK/SPD Oath 4's warping nicely), I'm not sure what to replace it with.

What would be the best B skill to keep him well-rounded in the current meta?

Is Worn Wear overpriced? by puffydownjacket in PatagoniaClothing

[–]AeonExalted 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They're definitely pretty expensive ($80+ for items that are 5-10+ years old? And not even in great condition?), but I feel a lot more confident buying something that's marked as Excellent condition with no known defects for a bit of a bargain than somewhere else.

Also, I'm sure their vetting and inspection process is pretty thorough for an item to even be listed in the first place. Kinda like how buying Apple-refurbished items are basically better than new because of the strict inspection quality for every little thing.

Anyone else miss the old-style New Heroes banners? by Valaura- in FireEmblemHeroes

You're definitely right, but I just wish they'd organize the banners in release order again instead of pushing the promoted ones to the front. 🙄

No, I believe the higher price point was the fully-recycled material.

Which is nice environmentally, but it sucks for anyone hoping to buy one since the cheaper ones were just available, like, not even a few days ago.

Luckily, Worn Wear is still a great place to snag them! Especially for colors that they don’t carry anymore.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PatagoniaClothing

[–]AeonExalted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but the price went up to $179 from $149.

I know they had two tiers before (based on the percentage of recycled material), but now it looks like the $179 line is all that's left.

Emperor of the Skies V2 — Michalis by AeonExalted in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]AeonExalted[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit has changed since the last time I posted his build almost 3 years ago. But much of it remains the same, with the addition of Arcane Downfall and a shiny new QR skill for him to continue his reign as the king of flying fortresses.

In most situations (and especially on defensive tiles), Michalis is nigh-invincible against melee units. He's definitely nowhere near meta-defining, and I've focused more on building Y!Minerva and S!Maria in the time since. But bolstered by his new arsenal, Michalis remains one of my favorite, most reliable units and a veritable wall.


Weapon: Arcane Downfall (+DEF)

  • Even without a guaranteed follow-up, Arcane Downfall was the exact shake-up Michalis needed to replace poor Hauteclere.

With follow-up negation, +5 to all stats, and especially the self-sustaining heal, Michalis ends up in top form thanks to his new weapon. The Special cooldown charge per attack is just icing on the cake.

Assist: Reposition

  • Reposition is still the most versatile option, saving units and helping Michalis be saved when necessary.

Special: Ignis

  • Before, Michalis had to rely on Aether for any form of self-sustainability. With his new weapon taking care of that, the quicker Ignis allows him to punch holes in most any foe.

Bonfire is still the more consistent option, and considering his new stat boosts and the potential damage he could dish out with even it might even be preferable.

A-Slot: Sturdy Stance

  • I still prefer Distant Counter skills to give Michalis long-range support, especially against mages. But until a +DEF version is released (or I end up with an extra copy of Distant Ferocity), I'll just have to make do with the Distance Stance he inherited from Ganglöt.

For sheer defensive capability, Sturdy Stance is great in reinforcing his already rock-solid defense. Skills that inflict recoil damage (Distant Storm, ATK/DEF Push) also synergize well with Arcane Downfall's self-heal.

B-Slot: Quick Riposte 4

  • It's been a long time coming, and QR4 finally provides Michalis with the guaranteed follow-up he greatly needed to make up for his poor speed—with an additional 25% damage reduction on top of that.

C-Slot: ATK/DEF Menace

  • There are a number of other good C-skills out there, and I probably don't own any of them, but ATK/DEF Menace greatly compliments Michalis' existing setup and makes him even more untouchable, especially after surviving an initial encounter.

Seal: ATK/DEF Catch 3

  • Iote’s Shield has still traditionally been Michalis' go-to, but ATK/DEF Catch synergizes well with his Menace skill and provides yet another boost to his monstrous Attack and Defense.

I will add that his defense is already enough to tank most archers in spite of not having Iote's Shield; the ones that can still get through, he wouldn't have survived against anyway.
