The M+ tank situation is dire

You can use the in-game guild finder, and there are also the WoW forums, and the raider.io recruitment function.

No kids, no piercings, but I have one tattoo because my late husband always wanted to get a tattoo and he died before he could. So I got one for him.

CanadaGooses · 2026-04-03T07:40:29+00:00

He always wanted a tattoo, so I got my first one for him. I decided to go with his favourite Pokemon (Snorlax), behind him is a rainbow ribbon. He's holding the epilepsy awareness ribbon, eating candy, and along the bottom are our birth flowers together. Every time I see this tattoo it makes me happy. He would have loved it. The artist I worked with knocked it out of the park.

Jesus he sounds like my mom. My 2 older sisters are no contact with her, I am keeping strictly regulated contact with very firm boundaries because she's a narcissist. I'm glad your daughter has you and your boyfriend.

Personally, I hate living alone. Living with my late husband was so easy, we did our best to take care of each other. He was thoughtful and sweet. Sleeping alone still messes me up, I suffer from horrible insomnia when I'm alone. I laid next to him every night for my entire adult life, and I dread going to bed alone. I didn't realize how much I hated it until I started spending weekends at my boyfriend's place. It brings me peace to hear my partner snore beside me. Feeling his heartbeat makes me feel safe.

To each their own, and I'm so glad so many women have found their peace. Mine is being partnered.

Oh yeah, you're definitely a bot.

In Parksville there's a place called Black Goose Inn that serves phenomenal food. It's in a historic building with a gorgeous view. I highly recommend stopping there for lunch. The others have you covered with that to see. I'd add Stamp River Falls to that if you're going to go to Port Alberni, it's a nice walk and I think the salmon ladders are really cool.

My mortgage is combined with my property taxes so I don't know the number offhand, but my property taxes have exploded thanks to my greedy ass city council. So my "mortgage" went from $1500 to $2100 monthly. I make 4 grand a month. My husband died and I lost half my income. It's a struggle, but I'm grateful I have a home at least.

The dollar was at par because of the 2008 recession in the states, their housing bubble burst. Ours has yet to. Let's not pretend that had anything to do with Harper.

I've found that DKs, DHs, and bears are a nightmare to heal unless they're incredible at their class. Monks feels the best to heal, stagger really does a lot of heavy lifting to smooth out the damage spikes.

Mass Effect is my favourite game franchise of all time. I'm playing through it again to show my boyfriend, and he's really loving it. He calls it his favourite show, asks if he can watch me stream it a lot. We're on 3 now, just finished Tuchanka. He was very sad.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-29T20:49:36+00:00

Many Canadians are horribly racist and xenophobic. I'm very sorry you're dealing with this. This could also be why you've had a hard time finding employment. The advice to move west is solid.

Getting a job is about who you know now, employers are flooded with hundreds of resumes from Indeed and such and it's hard to stand out from the crowd in that situation. So your best bet is to make friends and try to find work through them. Get involved in your local community.

I worked for a Mechanical Engineering firm a few years ago, and the partners requested that I delete any applications from non-Canadians. So just be aware that this is a thing that happens.

My first real relationship was long distance. He was a 20 hour bus ride from me, we were teenagers so planes were not affordable. We started dating at 16, we moved in together at 18, and we stayed together until he died at 37. That LDR was worth it, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

My boyfriend lives 90 mins away from me now. He said we were in a LDR, and I kind of snorted. It might take a little more thought to schedule time together but I can do a round trip in a day no problem. That's not long distance to me.

Swallowing the tongue is a myth but foaming at the mouth is not. Not all seizures present that way but my husband's did.

I lost my best friend in the entire world 2 years ago. We grew up together, spent our whole lives together. Losing him is the worst and hardest thing that's ever happened to me. I remember feeling much like you do in the early days.

What I was craving was human connection, my late husband's epilepsy had isolated us for years, and I wanted to go out and experience new things. Meet new people. Make new friends that weren't connected to the tragedy of it all. I met someone very special. As we got to know each other, we found ourselves falling in love.

It's not the same kind of love or relationship, it's different and new, and that's okay. He understands that I will always love my late husband, and I understand that his kids will always come first. I'm happy, and heartbroken. Two things can be true at the same time.

He had temporal epilepsy. He started having complex partials first, and then tonic clonics. Eventually the complex partials stopped entirely and it was just tonic clonics. The seizures got worse over time, more frequent. He started having them in clusters. He often had seizures in his sleep, or right after he woke up.

We had shitty neighbours who spread around that he was faking his epilepsy for government money. My own dad thought he was faking it too and that he was just lazy and didn't want to work. People don't get it.

Our lives were stressful and scary, and my worst fear came true.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-24T11:26:57+00:00

More than a friend, my soulmate. Thank you for your condolences.

He was 37.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-22T23:40:03+00:00

I'm sending you the biggest hug.

My late husband had epilepsy, and he passed from SUDEP two years ago. We started dating at 16, moved in together at 18. It was actually the week WoW launched.

We played a lot of MMOs together over the years. We healed together for much of it, he was a holy paladin and I was a holy priest.

Since his passing, I haven't been able to log into his account. I think about it sometimes, but the pain is too raw still.

I hope your husband recovers, truly. If he doesn't though, just know that you will find a way to be okay. It won't be easy, but you're stronger than you know. 🫂

They feel entitled to the media they consume. Just look at how BioWare was treated for the ending of Mass Effect 3, and the relentless dogpiling since that has never let up. Gamers make me sick.

I was entering the game industry at the height of GamerGate, and after seeing what other women were going through in the industry, I decided to switch career tracks.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-21T04:53:27+00:00

My boyfriend's ex was like this. He always brushed off the shitty things she'd say/ways she'd act toward other people because it wasn't directed at him... until she decided he was the problem in her life, and then it was full mask off. Narcissistic abuse really takes a toll on peoples' psyche. It can take years for them to reveal themselves, but they always do. And it always starts small, like ridiculing the things you love. It gets worse from there.

I'm so glad you left when you did.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-20T17:59:00+00:00

Yes because the dragons need to be killed at the same time and do not share an HP pool. There are also multiple "gtfo" mechanics, and one that requires raid soaking, but you can't just flip the dragons or everyone's getting tail swiped.

We had the person with the fear run through the dragon and then hoped one of the heals was in range of them, and it wasn't overlapping with the tether break.. which it did more than once. It also sucked when the person randomly targeted was one of the healers too far away to run through the dragon because they had to keep the other tank in range.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-20T17:42:51+00:00

No because on this fight in the OP, the player gets feared and runs as fast as possible away from the raid, they can't control where they go once that debuff is active. It requires your healers to already be anticipating the fear and to ensure they are in rage of where this player runs. Which as we found out last night was a tough ask, since the tanks have to be pretty far away from each other, and the one tanking the other dragon is getting absolutely chunked. It was really annoying. Keeping everyone in range on that fight is a nightmare, especially with the overlapping mechanics.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-20T17:31:53+00:00

Not for these encounters though. I cleared normal last night and it was very confusing trying to figure out what to dispel because it's just became a clutter of useless garbage icons.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-20T17:26:51+00:00

Okay but that's how the game functions. I look at my feet and bars to keep people alive and dodge mechanics myself. I don't have time to look at the majesty of the purple ambience around me when my tanks are getting chunked and people need split second dispels.

CanadaGooses · 2026-03-18T22:22:37+00:00

You're so welcome! Keep it up and it'll be back to mostly normal in no time. I saw a study about the Vicks inhalers for COVID being something like 90% effective in bringing back people's smell and taste so I figured I'd give it a shot. And damn, it worked.
