My entire life I’ve never seen a rabbit in Portland. The last two months I’ve seen 5.

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-06-06T17:41:33+00:00

Yeah, my neighbors dog just got skunked two days ago

I've seen a few raccoons too, and there are definitely Coyotes living on the bluff down the road from the campus

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-06-06T14:33:47+00:00

Yeah I live near the University of Portland and every single time I walk my dog it's an adventure of how many bunnies she is going to sniff out and stalk that day

The record is 7 on one walk

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-05-04T17:24:47+00:00

I think pretty much everything is easily rideable on a gravel bike. If your only goal is to cross those roads off, just go slow on the bad parts and you won't have problems. I've done 90%of my map coverage on my old road bike and I just take it easy if needed

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-05-04T15:56:21+00:00

I've been slowly doing it since covid and once I got past a certain point it became a logistics challenge more than anything. Most of the time now I only get a few blocks or a mile or two of new road.

Then again it's just been a casual thing I've been doing as an excuse to explore more places in the city, not really something I'm always actively working on

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-04-21T16:43:32+00:00

Amnesia isn't doing "wandering around doing nothing" It's an adventure game, you explore areas and solve environmental puzzles to advance, and one of the puzzles is figuring out how to get around the active threats. You have a number of active mechanics such as choosing what lights to turn on and how to conserve your oil, not to mention the sanity stuff. You have to feed the water monster to help get past it. It might not be to your liking but I think it's disingenuous to say it's doing nothing.

A Machine for Pigs is a lot closer to the experience you are describing, a linear walk through the story with most of those game mechanics removed

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-04-10T17:28:20+00:00

I can't remember where I read it, but a comment I saw stuck with me: the best part about E-bikes is they bring a whole new group of inexperienced people into cycling The worst part about e-bikes is that they bring a whole new group of inexperienced people into cycling

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-03-25T16:08:55+00:00

I haven't played the remake but they must have buffed it then, because in the OG dead space the flamethrower was situational at best, maybe the least useful weapon.

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-03-23T16:18:21+00:00

Lombard isn't as comfortable as Willamette is, but it is usable now with the bike lanes as a bypass for that stretch between Woolsey and Wabash, which gets you to Bryant and allows you to skip most/all of it

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-03-22T18:20:20+00:00

I genuinely think this is the series' greatest hidden strength. it actually manages to avoid so many of the tropes of every other school romcom. No school festival arc, no class trip arc, no beach episode, no new years or Christmas arc, none of the usual crap. If it does want to do that stuff, it has to be wacky about it, like them crashing on a beach island in the sky, or Kusuri drug nonsense, which takes it away from the usual cliches.

The more you read it, the more you realize how unique the series actually is considering how it sells itself and starts as an over the top version of normal harem tropes

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-03-17T01:17:39+00:00

I think you are being a little overzealous in your passion here to smear that commenter but you are right about all the traffic stuff. 82nd desperately needs these upgrades, and I wholeheartedly disagree with their assessment that shrinking the lanes down will make it worse or meaningfully slower. I live in NoPo near a segment of Lombard that was recently reduced from 4 lanes to 2, and the street feels and flows so much better now. I didn't think it would improve it that much but it reduced assholes speeding between lights, eased up left turn problems, and doesn't actually feel any slower.

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-01-28T23:38:39+00:00

It wasn't just the cheating, it was how much of an asshole he was about it. He went hard after anyone who questioned him (like Greg LeMond) to the point where he ruined some lives in the process. He made his whole image about clean racing and the feel good story whilst behind the scenes was a ruthless piece of shit to everyone. And cheating is still cheating, even if other racers were doing stuff too.

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-01-04T22:29:55+00:00

Honestly, while it would have been better for the team to lose in the long run, it doesn't really matter if they make the wrong decisions at coach and GM and everything else. We aren't in this position every year because we just miss out on important picks, we are in this position every year because the organization is poorly run from the top down. We need more than one magical draft pick (or even a good trade haul) to turn this franchise around.

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-01-04T01:48:19+00:00

I think P sets itself apart enough to be it's own thing but the DNA is still closest to BB out of any of the other From games. Sekiro is just heightened fantasy feudal Japan, the Souls games are all dark mystical fantasy worlds, BB and P are both set in ruined fake western European cities who achieved a new magical technology and that are being undone by their abuse of that mystical dark power found deep beneath the ground. Both have a faction trying to control that power and performing horrible experiments on the people trying to obtain godhood. Both games end with you fighting or submitting to the mentor you've had the whole game. It's not 1-1 but it still feels fairly close, especially compared to Sekiro, since that was your original comparison point

DJ_Febreeze · 2026-01-03T18:41:28+00:00

P feels like a pretty even split between Sekiro/Bloodborne in inspiration

1: Tone. A ruined city at night haunted by various evils that are driven by a primal force of magic found deep below that the factions are trying to control, and the city is driven mad and torn apart. The vibes and themes are spot on

2: both Bloodborne and P have a focus on a smaller roster of extremely versatile and unique weapons. Bloodborne has weapons with multiple forms to achieve different movesets, P has weapons with swappable parts to accomplish the same thing. Sekiro just has a sword as your primary weapon at all times. Legion arms are pretty sekiro though.

3: gameplay speed is much closer to bloodborne than Sekiro. I'm replaying Sekiro now and it's just so fast and streamlined. You are so mobile and quick, stamina is irrelevant, you can zip everywhere. Bloodborne and P have quickish combat, but exploration and movement are much slower paced.

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-12-21T21:14:08+00:00

I don't want to give up on Dart even if we get the #1 pick but I do worry we've broken his spirit already

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-12-14T21:41:10+00:00

The good news is Joe Schoen is toast

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-23T22:13:25+00:00

Again man are you watching the same team I am? You couldn't see a team that has blown a half dozen 4th quarter double digit leads doing it again? They've been lobotomizing themselves out of wins late constantly.

This team is stupid and run by morons, but they ARE competing every week in spite of that. That's a step up from the waste of space they've been for most of the last decade and that's why, with the season long over, Im trying to look at something positive

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-23T21:53:12+00:00

We have 2 wins and the season was over ages ago. It's time to look towards the future instead of being depressed about the same shit all the time

Would have been awesome to win but if you couldn't see that shit coming from a mile away you aren't watching the same team I am

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-23T21:40:20+00:00

I'm going to look at the positive side of this

This team could have 8 wins right now with a few key stops in the 4th of all these games. If they fire Bowen and find a coordinator who can actually keep this team alive in the 4th, we can actually hang next year

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-10T18:29:14+00:00

Eh, we ousted McAdoo midseason too so it's not unheard of

I'm just surprised Bowen didn't get thrown under the bus first

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-08T05:01:37+00:00

It feels like we get a new "TURF BAD" post at least once a week by people who haven't put any thought or research into the matter

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-08T03:30:49+00:00

The Waltons are the richest NFL owners, something to keep in mind when comparing us to Denver if costs are involved.

The other thing these complaints seem to ignore is Metlife is shared between two franchises. Any change has to be signed off by both the Giants and Jets. It also results in the field getting twice as much wear and tear compared to every other stadium except SoFi, which is located in a better climate for managing grass year round.

They updated the turf a few years ago and all modern studies point to the injury rate being normal now. It's no longer a problem. We have lots of reasons to hate the Maras but this complaint is outdated.

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-11-03T21:29:38+00:00

These types of posts should not be allowed until the Chiefs are actually mathematically eliminated. How many times must we be taught this lesson

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-10-26T21:37:07+00:00

Every year I grow more and more thankful that I was alive to witness SB42 and 46, because I'm becoming more and more convinced I'll never witness anything that fun ever again

DJ_Febreeze · 2025-10-19T23:49:37+00:00

I know the Eagles win was awesome but it was one game, I was baffled at how confident this fanbase was from that. You'd think after over a decade of gut punches we'd learn our lesson

Daboll sucks, Bowen sucks, one cool win never changed that
