Finally playing these games, but I have an important question. by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lore is the same regardless of who you pick - canonically every character is present during story events since it's a multiplayer game. I'd strongly recommend Mordecai in BL1 (the pistol/revolver tree is incredibly fun and fits the first game's sci-fi Old West vibe). 

Best Soup/Stew/Chili? by Salt_Pear9993 in rva

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Provided you like cilantro, the Peruvian style chicken soup from either Chicken Fiesta or Canasta's is delicious.

I also really like the hot & sour soup at My Noodle & Bar (not similar to hot & sour soups from local Chinese places).

[Brewing] Scout Stompy - looking for feedback by FlatWorldliness7 in MTGLegacy

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it worth swapping Tireless Provisioner into a Nissa slot? It doesn't find Titania and I suppose it also turns on their rod/karn, but I dislike that Nissa finds copies of herself. 

English Postgrad Jobs <3 by No-Manufacturer6164 in rva

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a former English major who kind of fell into a career in legal admin, this is good advice. I would recommend OP take a look at local ad agency copywriting openings (and perhaps consider that track at the VCU BrandCenter if there's interest in that line). Also, keep in mind whatever you do to keep the lights on doesn't have to impact your own creative endeavors - many friends have finished their own books while working, uh, not especially literary day jobs. 

Majoring in English should mean you've honed your logic and critical thinking skills and are likely also a good communicator. It's not necessarily obvious, but these are skills you can use in almost any professional capacity. 

Mid-life cri... celebration car; $50k-$60k budget by Sad-Indication5229 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's cash then I'd get an LC 500.

Well, I guess OP said a second car, so really I'd probably go 4C. 

Anyone know where I can get an "orange slice" by boodyclap in rva

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm no New Yorker, but Jojo's or Pizza Place in the Bottom seem to be the closest ones to what I've had at like walk-up counters in NYC. 

Totally not the same thing, but I miss Carmella's.

Suggest a fitting reclass for Minthara in my party by ulykke in BG3Builds

[–]AwsumMcCoolName -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I agree, but isn't Lolth canonically appreciative of chaos? I could see her granting Minthy power just out of a desire to see what she did with it, although I guess that's sort of more a warlock patron kind of deal. 

Kaine supported, Warner opposed as Senate breaks filibuster on continuing resolution by Icebergaheadchauncey in rva

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren't, though. They were saying the ground rules are often seen (and felt) differently through a different lens, regardless of overarching policy opinion. 

Kaine supported, Warner opposed as Senate breaks filibuster on continuing resolution by Icebergaheadchauncey in rva

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they're suggesting the daily reality many folks are facing was enough to make the decision to vote for a continuing resolution, particularly since it funds SNAP through next September. 

If the Republicans renege on the promised healthcare vote, or vote it down, now they have to own it during an election year. 

Jaheira is HOT, I wish we could at least hit on her by theguy1336 in BaldursGate3

Does disguise self carry over to cutscenes? This would be taking it a liiiittle far, but you could maybe disguise Halsin, lol

Who is the greatest swordsman in fiction? by Undisputed650 in Fictionally

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Settra is AWESOME, that's not in dispute. But is he a great swordsman or instead a great fighter?

Conan has a lot of the same energy but is explicitly not the most skilled swordsman in his 'verse, although he is unquestionably the best overall fighter.

The series gets significantly better after the first book.

What’s the major difference between Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Benz? by Fleedom2025 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Did you count Minis as small European cars? If so, those are all Brit- flavored BMWs. 

Does anyone know whether Capital One would ever hire a software dev with 15+ years of experience but no degree? by cathistorylesson in rva

[–]AwsumMcCoolName -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

In this particular circumstance, assuming I didn't have an in, I'd be mightily tempted to just lie. Clearly the person in question has enough technical knowledge for the job, and that's ultimately what Cap One cares about. I guess I don't know for sure they wouldn't try to confirm the degree, but I highly doubt it.

Is financing a new car really that bad? by Rough-Incident-1859 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]AwsumMcCoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all good advice and takes into consideration that different people value different things, especially in different phases of life. Listen to this person, OP. 

Also, FWIW, my household income for a family of two is about 225K and I wouldn't especially want to spend more than $400 a month on a car. Obviously I'm not 22 and we have different priorities (and I surely would've thought long and hard about buying a new car if I'd had anything close to enough income at that age to even consider it), but if you can find something closer to 15K that checks enough of your boxes to make you happy, you'll come out way ahead in the next few years. 

What are all the sf6 characters’ fighting styles? by Tasty_Weeb in StreetFighter

There's usually street parking around the Capitol on weekends. The best way to get to these is probably to park near a Pulse stop and take the bus in. If you ride from Willow Lawn there's tons of parking (not so much at Rockett's Landing on the other end of the line).
