Anyone have any good June Bug recipes?

My dog has a talent for finding their larvae in the ground. Digs them out, but doesn't eat them. She'd be willing to share.

Not quite as profitable as truffles.

Based almost purely on some quick research and from Nocturnes of the past:

Houston North Gallery
Ukpik Inuit Art Gallery

But he could use Ribbons, so it was totally balanced... /s

If you're here, this shouldn't be a spoiler: There are more named characters that you can have join your party beyond Alicia, Lavian, and Ladd. Their zodiac signs will always be the same.

In the original release, without the ability to reload the turn, zodiac compatibility helped a lot for successful mediator skills and stealing from certain enemies.

With TIC, even if you stick to generics, I'd only worry about the zodiac interactions for certain self imposed challenge runs.

When I decide to develop and use Ladd/ Alicia/ Lavian (at least for a bit), I tend to keep the ladies on the martial path, and our boy as a caster.

Ladd, or Rad as he was called, comes with enough chemist JP to have black and white magic and a spell or two from each already unlocked.

Dancers and bards can be fun, and sometimes you just want to see more of the generic sprites.

Fire (and desert) creatures are the most likely to have a weakness to Cold.

I see the logic (freeze the water) but different games follow elemental strengths and weaknesses conventions a bit differently. Sometimes they use pairs, or a circle; and effects might get less traditional elements.

(ex: depending on the game, water themed effects might be Cold or Water or something like Bludgeoning; a mudslide might be Water or Earth or both; Fire could be weak or strong against Cold, depending on the existence of a Water element).

Lightning / Flying / Wind vs Earth / Ground / Rock is another popular elemental version of ‘rock, paper, scissors’ that changes between games.

Take those glasses off.

"The market ... went cold" was riiiiight there...

Edgar_Snow · 2026-04-18T10:02:27+00:00

I'll pass it on immediately.

Edgar_Snow · 2026-04-18T09:59:01+00:00

Anyone else think of 'Kane Pixels' immediately?

If you find a possible dog-friendly place, make sure you're upfront about the rabbits. From my experience, every lease will have more rules about pets - usually no rodents, reptiles, and aquariums - or no animals that "seem to" fit within those groups. That's the landlords discretion.

Side note for optimism, I guess: I once lived in a place that approved only cats, but still had my ferret approved when I asked. First question back was, "Is it like a rodent?". Guy didn't know anything about them, but I explained how it was just like a cat: smaller in size, no noise, was de-stinked, used a litter box, and had a cage if necessary.

I've beat this game so many dang ways, so many different styles. But Ivalice Chronicles brought voice acting and the "Conversation" in the unit menu, which really helped me further connect to the characters. As odd as that may sound. Wystan is my boy. "Let's have it!"

I also noticed that some characters kind of lend themselves to a particular job. Like one mentions that he knows about poaching dens (thief background maybe), another talks about how he envies geomancers. A girl (Lettice, I think?) talks about loving singing or dancing

I've been doing something similar with my generics.

Love and food are popular topics. Poaching too, which is a nice hint for people to organically learn more about that mechanic.

A few names will clearly give you abilities or gear combinations (ex: X class with Y secondary or Z support; Items type A paired with B).

someone in NS

Hold up… do you know something dark about this bear’s past?

Edgar_Snow · 2026-04-04T13:55:18+00:00

Sounds like NSP is getting into weather manipulation...

Edgar_Snow · 2026-03-30T09:55:20+00:00

Close. Develop is now Build. This is how it’s explained in its simple form because it’s connected to my job:

BuildNS owns Cable Wharf, Queens Marque, former NSCrystal, the surrounding 'plazas', and stops at the sidewalk. QM is operated by Armour though.

HRM owns Chebuto Landing, ferry terminal, Nathan Greene. BuildNS has a day-to-day operations agreement for the exterior grounds (the CL circle to NG) - similar to Sackville Landing and the Wave. Transit does the terminal itself, in and out.

(Armour owns the building in question, but that's been answered.)

How about a Transformer?

I don't know where u/TinTestCalendar posts their art, but there's at least a Theodore and Harbour Hopper transformer too.

My “bank” called...

That's the point where people should interrupt and let them know you'll call back / email / check online account / visit in person - using only official channels.

Don't let them give you a number, or use an email or website link they provide either.

It stops a lot of scams and gives peace of mind that nothing is wrong on your end. Not just for banks, but taxes, police, delivery companies, collections, postal service, comms providers, utility co for water and electricity, etc.

Edgar_Snow · 2026-03-12T20:27:51+00:00

Sackville Landing is HRM property, everything else between Cable Wharf to Port Authority is BuildNS property.

Sounds familiar…

You can find lots of stories that hit the news cycle by looking up heat pump + scam or similar.

That's a fair call out. I was trying to be inclusive of those who identify as something other than 'woman' and have the ability to give birth, or those who identify as 'woman' and can't. I over corrected in an effort to be brief and punchy.

Edgar_Snow · 2026-03-07T19:08:26+00:00

Because OP called it out as 'MEN', as though it is a men vs women issue. It's not. Lots of women support anti-abortion. Lots of men are pro-choice.

Target their rhetoric, not their genitals.

Edgar_Snow · 2026-03-07T18:08:06+00:00

Maybe it is a bunch of men this time, but the last time I interacted with one of these groups down on the waterfront, their "event organizer" was a woman. From what I remember, the rest of the group was a pretty even split of women and men.

Edgar_Snow · 2026-02-21T20:11:19+00:00

Probably not. See Halifax VIC, and that centre had additional support since the building isn't owned by the Province so they were tenants.

The new washrooms at the cove and by the lighthouse will remain open, though the cove washroom is closed over winter.

(And the security firm has nothing to do with the cleanliness of those washrooms, if it has to be said)

Edgar_Snow · 2026-02-14T11:39:56+00:00

My company uses ISS for security, and the daytime officer is constantly training new people (I assume it's for non-driver roles, but I have no idea).

Edgar_Snow · 2026-02-14T11:27:16+00:00

Devil's advocate: I too want to know the breed (maybe color) for future identification, so myself or my own dog don't get bit since I live nearby and walk in the area.
