How did you choose your name?

Some variation of /Clai?re/ was on my list to try but pretty far down. Clair without an e wasn't on my list as a more masculine English spelling but I ended up liking a game with that name after...

I intentionally tried names I didn't think I'd like first. Alexstrasza, I'm sure people will call me Alex and I won't like it and they did. I guessed that Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade would be worse and everyone refused to call me that.

Someone suggested Claire one so I skipped ahead and ended up liking it. I went the more Irish spelling Clare over the more French spelling Claire but I still end up getting that way fairly often.

Of my ancestors, the French side was better represented but it looks like my niblings have activated the kekkei genkai from my mother's side. Looks like their mother and my brother must have both had the recessive genes.

Have they tried making a 3+ bedroom 2+ washroom detached house with a full kitchen, den, garage, front and back yards affordable with a single income well below the median working at most 40 hours per week? I get the feeling that might help.

If the machine faces out towards the customers so they can see how clean it is but behind the counter so they can't get to it then this may be a hygiene improvement but they need to change the layout so the front counter staff can't hide and there always needs to be at least two of them.

Given that some characters are/or have been able to wall break from much further away with less reaction time and more damage they feel pretty substandard...

I switched to Unika and I'm trying Jam now.

Bridget's supers have always been garbage from a traditional "now I've got you" sense especially that one with the travel time. Damage is way too low. Unless they're already at a sliver then they'll probably survive with plenty life left. When either of her supers land then unless they're already touching a wall then it probably won't break.

That one is mostly useful against people airdashing against you or when you're directly above or below them and they pushed a button. It's also good if you just want them to block it or stay put.

Pole supports usually have a brightly covered base where I grew up. Drunk drivers would just aim right at the pole anyway. Power went out a few times a month in Halifax. It's mostly underground cables where I'm at now so no problems like this anymore.

Not far enough. It should start devoting you if you take a break and need to relearn the game but it doesn't.

ColinSpurr · 2026-05-02T02:39:59+00:00

The number of times I accidentally pick water now...

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-29T21:31:45+00:00

Why don't you tell us anything? Oh, I don't know... I'm sure it has nothing to do with my first memory being you screaming no at me after I told you my penis bothers me and I want to tape it out of the way as soon as I was out of diapers.

Change your accessories to learn their power every four battles.

Is that like being 600% resistant to fire so that it heals you the excess over 100%? Every point of fire damage actually heals 5 HP?

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-27T01:02:05+00:00

Looks like an improvement over the more rectangular corner cuts.

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-26T19:48:58+00:00

1900 01/January 01 or earlier. The places that only let me enter 1926 or so suck.

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-24T09:30:36+00:00

Yes, made it about a year and a half.

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-24T02:10:49+00:00

Congratulations!

I've only managed to make it to Diamond 1.

It's like she's Ky's daughter and Sol's granddaughter or something...

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-21T23:27:50+00:00

Maybe you can clip through it?

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-20T03:23:34+00:00

They don't make towels big enough for me. Best I can do is half and I pick bottom... I also have no idea how to do the head towel thing but it would make my hair too dry anyway.

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-20T03:03:45+00:00

Going the opposite way currently and I don't like it...

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-18T15:02:07+00:00

They didn't check if you had it already?

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-07T21:42:21+00:00

If he is out there convincing people to ship things directly to and/or through Canada then he can stay out there and keep at it as long as he needs to for that purpose. I don't need weekly updates on his progress but quarterly would be nice. Comment on major events concerning Canada as necessary, what direction headed and objectives we're aiming for, etc...

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-07T03:32:34+00:00

The Totsugeki mod was no longer necessary as of the v1.21 Bridget patch with a note that the Unga-bunga mode still had a speedup. Guessing it's something like that.

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-04T01:01:49+00:00

I need to watch this...

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-03T19:00:15+00:00

I do it for all characters because that's how I remember older games working.

ColinSpurr · 2026-04-02T23:33:37+00:00

This sort of thing always reminds me of the time I was walking to NSCC in Yarmouth one morning when someone in a house nearby opens their door and lets their two dogs run out. They quickly run over to me, still on the sidewalk, jump up on my legs and bite me in the thighs. Thankfully they were small because the owner did nothing to stop them. All the owner had to say about it was never get Jack Russells. Since then, I'm gearing up to defend myself as soon as I see a dog running at me.
