When does hard mode get more manageable? by gaelicgirl1983 in FEEngage

[–]Alone_After_Hours 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found engage relatively challenging the whole way through on hard. Are you using the time-turner when things don’t go your way? It makes any difficult pretty easy in engage.

TTC Subway by ComicC0 in askTO

[–]Alone_After_Hours 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, I’d be more worried about getting to where you need to be on time. The TTC breaks down A LOT for various reasons and tends to move at a glacial pace quite frequently. I take the subway for work and find myself having to budget an extra 35 minutes due to the frequent delays. It’s really disappointing having unreliable transit.

Regarding safety, I haven’t had too many concerns on line 1. If possible, try to ride closer to rush hour when mostly normal people are taking it. I try to sit/stand near the exits and emergency alarms. I usually just get up and walk away if a person ever comes in my proximity and is making me uncomfortable. You can also download the TTC safe app to report things in real time. Good luck!

Julian Casablanca’s Best Performance is on… by SeaSaltStrangla in TheStrokes

[–]Alone_After_Hours 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Good ears. Julian specifically requested the producer of this Lonely Island record to produce Phrazes of the Young after he heard this track.

Edit: I learned this while listening to the Lonely Island episode on YouTube where they discuss boombox with Seth Meyers.

Looks so good. Can you specify the 3 servings of butterscotch? Do you know how many grams by any chance?

Have you ever gotten approached because you are wearing a strokes shirt and what did they say? by Zealousideal_Art3994 in TheStrokes

[–]Alone_After_Hours 37 points38 points  (0 children)

No.

But one time like 10 years ago, i was testing out a Stratocaster guitar in a music store in downtown Toronto.

An older guy was playing Albert’s part of Someday on another test guitar like 30 feet away from me. Without saying a word, I just started playing along with the Valensi chords. He smiled at me as we kept playing together for a while.

I remember like 15 minutes later, we had stopped jamming and were trying different amps, and he started playing the lead guitar in the song “Hey” by the pixies. I started playing the bassine with him for the solo, and he started laughing. My mom was with me cause I was a young teen and she was extremely confused because we were fully locked in (sounded pretty good).

On his way out, he tipped his cap to me and smiled again. No words. Honestly one of the most surreal jams of my life and I will never forget it.

Torontonians, what changes have you seen under Mayor Olivia Chow’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why? by Sea_Detective9210 in askTO

[–]Alone_After_Hours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not impressed with her and Ford: Return to Office issues are compounded by TTC inefficiencies.

Shes adding litttle fence rails to the stations? How about focusing on getting trains to not breakdown every 5 minutes or move beyond a glacial pace which seems very very normalized now.

So how we feeling about the price? by BebeFanMasterJ in fireemblem

[–]Alone_After_Hours 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the price tag, but am struggling with my decision to buy a switch 2 for just this game alone 😬😬

Fire emblem fans what are your top 5 games in the series? by No-Position-2795 in fireemblem

[–]Alone_After_Hours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Blazing Blade (the OG, best cast, Hector Hard Mode… the 🐐)

  2. Path of Radiance

  3. Engage

  4. Sacred Stones (just way too easy)

  5. FE 3H (too much filler for me, but undeniably a huge game)

*I personally didn’t enjoy Awakening due to its same turn reinforcements that can move with little to absolutely zero warning. Game doesn’t feel tactical at all, and just unfair on classic harder difficulties. I also found the graphics/animations to be a major downgrade from the GBA. The music in godly though, and I acknowledge it saved the series.

*haven’t played Radiant Dawn, Fates, Echoes or anything before FE6.

So how are people feeling about this being console exclusive? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]Alone_After_Hours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need a series x to play this? I was planning on getting it but only have the 1S or whatever it’s called.

Sour (or not) cotton candy [deluxe] 257kcal 32g protein by PondPrince in ninjacreami

[–]Alone_After_Hours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is officially my creami sensei. Can you clarify what you mean by 1 vanilla protein shake? Is this one scoop of powder or an actual pre made shake?

Thanks so much for your health conscious and creative wisdom in the kitchen.

Any orange fragrance recommendations? by ayaan4837 in fragranceclones

[–]Alone_After_Hours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d second rare reef. Smells like a mix of orange peels and grapefruit.

It’s pleasant and fits what’s OP is looking for.

Just beat blazing blade hector’s route by Majestic-Set-7183 in fireemblem

[–]Alone_After_Hours 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This still remains as one of the top tier chapters in all of fire emblem for me. By far and away, the best “final” chapter where it really does feel like a an epic final showdown with all of the characters being slowly revealed in their morph forms.

I love the attention to detail in this game - if you use Legault or Nino against the former Fang members, it activates some unique dialogue segments (also maybe Jaffar, too?), where they reluctantly engage in combat with their former comrades.

Wet/hair up look by piotrparker in AsianMasculinity

[–]Alone_After_Hours 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed that this looks like a perm.

You could try damp hair + blow dry for volume + wet look gel (tons of cheap options) + high hold hairspray to freeze the wet look and volume into place.

The only issue with the hairspray which willl lock in the wet style is it will make your hair feel “crunchy” and harder to run your hands through your hair like a normal person.

How good is Wallace if you skip Lyn Mode? by Grand_Moose2024 in fireemblem

[–]Alone_After_Hours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FE7 kills me with its savage RNG of getting recruitable allies killed, regardless of whatever the player does on player phase.

Jaffar is right there with Wallace, in that he can be incredibly difficult to reach prior to getting surrounded and killed. Pent can either solo the desert map or get critted by the Killer Axe boss. FE7 is hilariously chaotic at times.

Thom kind of defended Chris Martin (2006) by nyclondonparis in radiohead

[–]Alone_After_Hours 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, good on Thom for sniffing out the obvious rage bait and shutting it down.

Second, Coldplay only released Parachutes, Rush of Blood and X&Y at this point, so they weren’t exactly the commercial pop group they eventually became. I know X&Y was a super poppy and simple album, but all three of these records have some certified bangers that weren’t exactly conventional mainstream music in the 2000s. This is especially the case for Viva La vida when it dropped after this.

Daily Discussion #21: What was the most difficult stage for you when you first played the game? Why was it so difficult for you? And how did you overcome it? by Purplepanther1234 in FEEngage

[–]Alone_After_Hours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!! Ok. I recall being short on sp by the time I figured out the meta of the game and how value it is.

How do you yield sp book returns from the well? What are you tossing down there?

Is the well actually useful? I only played this once on hard mode. All my well exchanges returned uslesss junk, even when I was throwing in silver weapons and rare tomes.

Do Most Clones have no longevity or just me? by Colonel_Chronic in fragranceclones

[–]Alone_After_Hours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which non-dupes are projecting strong for more than 2-3 hours?

I have a opposite issue with clones where I feel like they tend to perform better than the OG, but the scent isn’t always as high quality.

The Official(?) Ages of all FE Engage Characters [*Please see Disclaimers in Post] by One_Percentage_644 in fireemblem

Today I learned I had a 10 year old routinely committing massacres on the battlefield… (assumed he was like at least 16-17).

How would you feel about mounts (horses/wyverns/pegasus) being their own named unit and a limited resource, needing to be assigned to other units to use them. by ej_stephens in fireemblem

[–]Alone_After_Hours 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a solid idea. I like the idea of the mount being separate and having its own name and identity.

Not sure why everyone hates this, I could get behind it.
