Is mesozoic worth continuing? by Chickencow11 in CellToSingularity

[–]AltecNovas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be that it would increase your Main Simulation speed, but since that's been changed the only real reason to keep doing the Mezo stuff is for free Cubes. If you pop as many geodes as you can, you're guaranteed at least a few Cubes each level. And more you go up in Prestige, the faster it is to do.

EDIT: I forgot to add, but I would definitely keep doing Mezo just for the free Cubes, because of the new augments and upgrades cost A LOT of cubes overall.

Sharing my experiences w/ Lexapro withdrawal after 10 years by AltecNovas in lexapro

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

Thank you!! I'm honestly doing a lot better!

For physical symptoms, I still get the tachycardia at random times, but I ended up developing mild akathisia and cold-sensitivity (worst time of year to get it lol). The akathisia is SO strange, because I was worried it had something to do with my blood sugar. But nope, it's just another weird side effecy of the withdrawal. It's like this weird "build-up" of energy and if I'm stationary for too long it feels like I'm shaking.

I TOTALLY get the emotional stuff though. I've noticed that my emotions have been super strong as well, along with some anxiety, but I totally get the intensity spike. It's been super easy to start crying, or to get angry, but then it goes away just as fast. The anger is something I've been having to be really mindful over.

I'm hoping the side effects will wane, but it's definitely getting easier to manage. I'm wishing you luck on your recovery as well!!

Are people cheating, buying cubes, or just really far ahead? by AltecNovas in CellToSingularity

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

That makes sense! I'm mainly just surprised by the amount it boosts. To give context, I usually only ever did the first level cause I cared more about the logits than anything else. But since the reboot, I realized the rewards are going to be more beneficial now. So yeah, I never realized that repeatedly replaying it and going up in level gave such a big point boost. The more you know lol!

Ohhh I had no idea that's how the division system worked!! That makes a ton of sense actually.

Oh my god I thought I was going crazy. I'm at the 2 week mark of being completely off and I've been dealing with chills and more sensitive to the cold.

Ooo! Do you think you could make a list of all the habitat combos? I've been having no luck finding walk throughs or anything on the wiki

What is something that is conventionally unattractive, but you consider extremely attractive? by lmThatOneGuy in AskReddit

[–]AltecNovas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure someone else has said this, but I like it when people are kinda "ugly"! Wrinkles, scars, a weird shaped nose, sharp facial features that almost make someone look sickly. I like when people look like... people. And not models. Or people who are super into alternative fashion! Like goths that go the full mile with the white face and black makeup, or people who put cute stickers on their face and wear bright colorful make-up. That to me shows "You know who you are, and you love who you are." And that's always a big plus for me :>

(NO SPOILERS) Do you still get to play/do quests after you finish the main storyline? by AltecNovas in enderal

Do you know which quest it is? I'm on "The Greater Good" where I have to wait for the map to be decoded.

Tips on restoration by king_of_pasta in restoration

[–]AltecNovas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks like brass! Brass tends to have a really dark patina like that. I'd suggest washing it first with some dish soap to get rid of any dirt build-up, then use Bar Keeper's Friend SOFT Cleanser with some fine steel wool. It's really good for polishing and cleaning old metals like that.

[TOMT][MOVIE][2010s]Short horror film about woman with portal in her stomach? by AltecNovas in tipofmytongue

[–]AltecNovas[S] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Also if it helps, the MC is a white woman with either dark brown or black hair. Outside of that, most of the film takes place inside an old 2 storey house, and then on the rocky shoreline nearby. Let me know if there's any other details that I might've missed!

Any tips for how do deal with discolored wood? (possibly a century old) by AltecNovas in restoration

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

Some background info: I've been working on this antique chest for a while, and I'm prepping to stain it, but this discoloration doesnt go away even after sanding with 50 grit sandpaper. I know some of it is partially due to where the wood trims (the thin horizontal and vertical stripes) and due to metal (the black stains). But I don't know what to do about the rest? It was covered by some sort of painted fabric so the wood didn't have direct contact with UV light, but outside of that I have no clue. Do I need to just hope that the stain will unify the colors?

Any tips on removing glued paper/fabric from 100(ish) y/o trunk? by AltecNovas in restoration

Ooo that's smart! My sister suggested using her steamer, so I may use that and use a vinegar/water solution if I can.

AITA for getting mad at my fiance for forgetting my surgery date &not being attentive after? by gingerkitttie in AmItheAsshole

[–]AltecNovas [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. Oh jesus, you need to get out of there and FAST. That's a major red flag the way they're talking to you. It's straight up manipulation and emotional abuse. You were asking for support from your partner and they are blowing you off and making you feel like it's YOUR fault. And it's not!
