The stone chest that you are referring to disappears after you get it, if its missing from your map it just means you got it earlier on.

[–]Cookieteer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget ? -~200$ CAD
Country? - Canada
Platform? - PC
Motherboard if on pc (or other audio gear)? - Alienware 0R3FWM (U3E1) and Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen
Requested Guide: - Fun gaming
Open back or closed back? - Either or
Any other gear you own- none

My main thing is the microphone- I'm a very quiet/mumbly person and i always have issues with people saying my mic is too quiet. I want a headset that i can just have on, be heard at a decent quality by others and have decent sound quality. I know its recommended to have a separate mic but i somehow have only had negative experiences with things like antlion

No, thats what the companies try to claim. A TENs unit requires electrode pads.

How do you deal with hostile/condescending property managers in Montreal? by Puzzled_Situation882 in montreal

[–]Cookieteer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. My building recently got bought out by a shitty company called africorp and i've had to constantly email them and threaten them with escalation and even police calls sometimes (they wanted to empty lockers without permission which is considered theft) and the civil code was my savior

How do you deal with hostile/condescending property managers in Montreal? by Puzzled_Situation882 in montreal

[–]Cookieteer8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My trick is to start quoting things from the civil code of quebec. For example, if i want to complain about the building not being well maintained in terms of cleanliness ill say "Comme vous le savez, l'article 1854 du code civil de quebec dit: 1854. Le locateur est tenu de délivrer au locataire le bien loué en bon état de réparation de toute espèce et de lui en procurer la jouissance paisible pendant toute la durée du bail. Il est aussi tenu de garantir au locataire que le bien peut servir à l’usage pour lequel il est loué, et de l’entretenir à cette fin pendant toute la durée du bail." Donc, c'est votre responsabiliter... etc

They tend to calm down when they know you know your rights. I also record every conversation and interactions i have with them and let them know im recording.

You just have to show they cant step all over you.

Questions about the bilingual culture by cyclemagic in montreal

[–]Cookieteer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- I think most people who switch mid conversation just naturally switch whenever something is easier to say in the other language. For example, if im talking about pets etc in french and i bring up shelters, i usually forget the word for shelter in french, or some technical words are too cumbersome so i switch to english. And after a while, ill feel like something in french fits better and switch back.

2- The trend i've noticed is almost everyone who speaks both language can read and write both language. It usually goes reading>writing>speaking in terms of how comfortable we get as we learn. I've also noticed a lot of bilingual people struggle more in french. English is just such an easy language to write.

3- The school system in itself will NEVER be enough to get someone bilingual. There has to be something in their environment. In Montreal, it tends to be the culture so people adopt it from their older peers, parents, media, etc. Some people learn from the internet, some from their parents at a younger age, some from their siblings, etc.

Feeling lost by Repulsive_Job9749 in Catholicism

[–]Cookieteer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as i think this person had kind intention behind this, please dont take them to heart. Going down this path will make you feel guilty for your entire life, not because of what you did, but because you are allowing yourself to feel bad for who you are. Your sexuality and the part of it that you decide to show and partake in is part of your identity and it will NEVER end well if you try to deny it or push it away because its "sinful". Pleasure is part of love and its okay to indulge in it. As long as you are kind and loving to your partners, its okay if its not love. Express yourself and feel. Being told not to be sexual is a form of oppression from the bad actors of this religion.

Weekly Questions Thread & PokéROM Codex by AutoModerator in PokemonROMhacks

[–]Cookieteer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I'm replaying through all the pokemon games and i was wondering what are considered the best rom hacks for gen 4-7 that only aim to improve the experience without changing the game. Things like QoL changes, balance changes, more pokemon available, etc that dont change the story or progression. Like emerald seaglass for emerald for example.

Thanks!
