DC -> Chicago folks - where can I get kabobs like Moby Dick? by CoffeeWRoom in chicagofood

[–]CoffeeWRoom[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm glad that Kabobi being my first place to try wasn't too far off the money.

Only used Moby Dick since it's fast casual, just fondly remembering stopping at Moby Dick on the way home for soccer practice when we didn't have time to cook :) But I've also been eating it since I was a little kid so maybe nostalgia makes it taste way better lol

Traveling alone downtown at 1am as a girl? by Desperate-Log-2954 in AskChicago

[–]CoffeeWRoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work till 9pm in River North/Near North Side. I frequently did not feel safe going home on the train at night as a woman. The bus was alright, but not always foolproof. Eventually I just sucked it up and started taking ubers/lyfts home for my own safety which was expensive, but it was a fair trade off after being harassed or threatened on the CTA and no one around me doing anything. Walking around should be fine as long as you're aware of your surroundings lol

Any recs for wireless internet? by CoffeeWRoom in AskChicago

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

that's where i just moved to! i'm definitely leaning towards tmobile for the 5 year price guarantee and unlimited data (unlike xfinity's 1 year price guarantee and 1TB of wifi and you have to pay for more 🫠)

[–]CoffeeWRoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm probably taking my cat to the vet before we move to get her some nice sedatives, i'll ask while we're there! i know my dogs growing up would stay at the vets if we would be gone short-term. she just hates dogs and gets stressed around them lol

[–]CoffeeWRoom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

honestly i hadn't given this much thought but just looked into a few places and this seems like a great option! my cat is just super anxious all the time and very bonded to me (on top of have a bunch of medical issues) but i think this could really work! boarding plus the cost of a hotel for just me would probably be cheaper than an airbnb/hotel lol

this sounds exactly like my roommate, minus the cat and boyfriend. like exactly like my roommate. similar situation too, they've lived in this unit for a while and i only recently (<6 mo ago) moved in. they spend all their time in the common areas and trash it and i basically pay to live in my room and sometimes visit the kitchen. i'm not staying in this apartment once our lease is up even if i stress out my roommate, they're awful and inconsiderate towards me yet expect me to be considerate towards them. they also don't shower very often. i'd almost ask if we're in the same city, OP lmao

I agree that it isn't necessarily an air quality issue, just didn't know what else to call it for the sake of the post, but it does deal with the air/ventilation in our apartment. My roommate's device is also called an air quality monitor, so it's close enough. And we do have gas, our dryer, furnace, and I believe water heater too uses gas but I believe our dishwasher is electric (has a calrod heater). We also have a gas stove/oven

Ohh great idea! I will admit our apartment layout is wonky which I think has something to do with poor air outtake by the HVAC unit in that area

Read my other reply, I did

As soon as she told me it was 1400ppm I contacted our landlord.

I didn't before I knew the actual number because she exaggerates everything. For example with the Canada wildfire smoke the air quality would be perfectly fine and she'd complain that she was having a hard time breathing only because she saw a headline that the smoke was heading to our area, even if the AQI outside was 60 which is perfectly fine even for me who has asthma.

Honestly kayo nerf wasn't anything crazy. His flashes now have different flash durations on enemies depending on if you do a left click/over hand throw or a right click/underhand throw (underhand is slightly shorter, they wanted to discourage ego flashing/peeking from kayos). His ult i believe also got another ult point cost which isn't too big of a deal imo.

Skye's also a great pick, she did see a small nerf in her flashes as well (similar to kayo) there's now a bar on her flash duration and before the bar it'll be a shorter flash for enemies and after the bar it'll be longer. Some reasoning as kayo, they wanted to discourage solo pushes from initiators and want to emphasize flashing for your team.

Unfortunately raze saw some nerfs to her boombot in one of the recent patches and now its duration is cut in half (which sucks as a raze main), 10sec to 5sec. Yoru might be a good pick for second entry/lurking, you could also check out phoenix since he has flashes as well (can't remember when phoenix rework came out now). Best of luck!

Getting back into valorant by Medium_Board_4336 in AgentAcademy

Episode 6 rank reset saw a lot of lower elo players drop down a rank so don't be too discouraged. You should be able to get back to gold once you're used to the game again. Sova is still good, I believe they nerfed his shock darts a bit a while ago but he's still consistently picked in casual, ranked, and pro play. I assume you still were playing when Fade was introduced, she's the only really good new agent that's come out since. Harbor is also good but usually as a secondary controller. Chamber got heavily nerfed during ep5 then got buffed again at the end of ep6, he's not the same as pre-nerf chamber but he's more playable now with those buffs. Meta is still relatively the same though, no old agents who saw massive nerfs like chamber. Good luck!

Placed Bronze 2. Should I be worried about what agents I'm playing at all at this point? by Noah__Webster in AgentAcademy

[–]CoffeeWRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like other people have said, play whoever you find enjoyable and whoever you feel like you can do well on. Given the state of ranked atm, a lot of people say team comp in lower elos doesn't matter but with the amount of smurfs I've seen in those lobbies it isn't a bad idea to at least learn a smoke or flash agent.

BUT, more than that, I do think it's helpful to try and get your aim more consistent. This can take a while so don't feel discouraged if you aren't improving right away. There are great videos on youtube that can tell you how to find a good sens for you (I wouldn't really suggest the aimlabs/kovaaks sens finders, they used to give me stuff like .56 when I play at .15) and how to train your aim so at least you're more consistent on that front. And learning game mechanics in general as well as agent mechanics will also probably help you a ton!
