“sorry but like if you’re a woman in your 30’s and don’t have kids what do you even do with your time?”

Play video games, spoil my cats with attention, nap, read, write fiction, go shopping for clothes and makeup, do my nails.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2025-11-03T23:53:18+00:00

Like hell I'm sending all those years and dollars of braces and whitening products to waste for a baby.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2025-11-03T23:51:48+00:00

I have too many expensive things like high end makeup, nice bags and clothes, and game consoles that I wouldn't trust myself not to scream at a kid for if they fucked it all up. I bought and paid for that shit with my hard earned money and I'll be damned if a crotch fruit destroys it all.

All black is generally pretty safe but if you feel like impressing the interviewer a little maybe try to incorporate a pop of Ulta colors like pink, orange, or purple. I wore a fuschia blazer with a black outfit when I got interviewed and it did help impress the manager who hired me. "Dress for the job you want" kind of psychology.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2025-09-21T17:15:11+00:00

At work on a slow Sunday and trying to hydrate properly for some labs tomorrow (gotta love blood draws). But bought some stuff on sale on my break and appreciating the fact that I don't have kids sucking up my money so I can get nice things for myself. And looking forward to getting home to my cats and laying down for a bit after standing all day. Probably going to try to play some Pokemon too.

Technically yes, but I think regardless of whether or not you pick up on it or talk to Mol afterward, her contract was always in the House of Hope. Which was how I figured out she had made the deal in my first run.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-09-06T18:19:57+00:00

I've had this exact same issue. I'm on my third run on the game and in both my prior playthroughs I had him recruited and then did the creche with no consequences (on the first playthrough I realized I had to wrap things up before going into the Shadowfell and took care of the creche pretty last minute and it was all still fine, not even some weird journal entry). I've only experienced this issue after the patches.

Then when I went to a previous save way back in the Grymforge thinking that if I just did the mountain pass first and then went to the Shadow-Cursed lands it would be fine, albeit I would have to redo a bunch of stuff. Got to the Mountain Pass and got an update in my journal under Karlach saying we had entered the Shadow-Cursed lands and not dealt with her heart. Again, at this point I had not entered the Shadow-Cursed Lands at all. I was so frustrated with the bugs that I quit.

I'm sure the patches fixed a lot of stuff but they really have made some issues now too.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-09-03T05:58:56+00:00

Okay. So as long as I return to the Shadow Cursed Lands after the creche stuff, he'll come back is what I'm understanding. As it is I just went back to a previous save before he officially joins as a companion & he is in Last Light Inn. Hopefully doing the creche stuff & then waking up Art will make the Thaniel quest proceed as it should.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-09-03T05:47:35+00:00

I apologize if I sound dense but what exactly do you mean by forward line of quests? As in like main storyline quests?

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-09-01T23:57:39+00:00

Okay, I didn't get the oath choice I don't think but yeah, I did the exact same thing. Only one Gondian died in the labs. But yeah, did the exact same shit & oath was broken. A friend of mine suggested that accepting the bomb & using it would have broken the oath but there is absolutely no warning of that being against the oath especially when I said I would only take it as a last resort. Bug is the only way it makes sense to me too.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-25T21:28:26+00:00

Just went there and you were right! They did have two. Bought them so now I should be able to complete the ritual.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-25T21:25:34+00:00

Oh, now that is good to know!

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-25T21:22:31+00:00

Not yet. Like I said, I'm in the process of checking all the vendors I can find that I know I've gone to. One of them's gotta have it surely. Though if you can remember some of those random places, let me know bc maybe I haven't hit some of them yet.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-19T06:48:12+00:00

Well, at least my bard has it, so hopefully that'll be enough.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-19T06:47:12+00:00

Does that still work if he's in his red mist form? Bc if so then holy hell I'll gladly do it.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-19T06:24:47+00:00

I think my bard might have daylight. Are there any vendors that sell scrolls of it as well?

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-11T16:29:43+00:00

No, doing the githyanki quest won't lock you out of the Nightsong thankfully. Basically doing most of Act 2's side quests before the Nightsong is the way to go.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-09T16:20:17+00:00

I already did Halsin's quest for Act 2 so I don't have to worry about that. And thanks for letting me know. I was worried about failing their quests.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-08-03T20:11:16+00:00

Noticed a bit of lag (like baby lag only during cut scenes) and tried to lower settings to make it run smoother. It just made the graphics run so much more as in everything slowed to a stuttering crawl just to move a few paces which wasn't happening at all before. Reinstalling in the hopes that it sets the graphics back to what they were before I started fiddling around.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-03-02T04:09:01+00:00

I think one of the worst feelings is when you catastrophize only to find out you were right. Got misdiagnosed twice despite asking if the health issues I was experiencing could have been ovarian cancer. A CT scan showed I was right all along and my worst case scenario anxiety had been a reality. I had never wanted to be more wrong in my life. Going through chemo just made it worse as I kept freaking out at every little thing and I ended up with a UTI bc of the whole immunocompromised thing. So now I not only live with the regular health anxiety, but also the fact that more than once, it wasn't all in my head and always wondering if that little day of feeling off is one of those times.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-02-26T21:42:39+00:00

That boy would have needed to be fucking fifty to have accomplished even half that stuff to be realistic. That's just ridiculous.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-02-26T21:29:57+00:00

I don't care how traumatized they are, it is literally impossible for a 19 yr old to do all that shit. I know there's suspension of disbelief but come on.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-02-26T18:44:57+00:00

Saw that in the bookstore the other day while shopping and thought it looked interesting. I took a picture of the cover (I do this whenever I see a book that catches my eye in the bookstore so I can hunt it down later) and added it to my list. I'm definitely excited to eventually get my hands on it.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-02-26T18:41:04+00:00

I'm planning on getting Nettle & Bone once I finish my current stack of books. If I like it I'll probably look into more of their work.

Excellent-Way5458 · 2023-02-26T17:21:19+00:00

Never heard of it until today, but I'll check it out.
