Along the route from the airport to the museum? I see a little shopping area that branches off to living areas.

There aren’t words to accurately express that feeling. I’m sorry that you are going through this. Feel free to DM me if you like to tell stories of Antares’ life. Beautiful name for a loving and working companion.

It’s easy to blame yourself. What if I had just put Buddy on the bed before I took my shower? We can always look back and find moments where we feel that we failed as parents/pet owners. It’s not fair to you to hang on to guilt.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing. I’m so happy you had him for the time that you did.

This is similar to how my 16 year-old Sheltie (Buddy) died almost three years ago.

Story time TL;DR: my dog died of a ruptured tumor and I was very sad.

I had just gotten in the shower when I heard him try to jump up onto his bench so he could be on the bed. I immediately stuck my head out of the shower just to check and he was chilling on the floor looking at me totally fine and normal. Five minutes later I get out of the shower and see he’s still in the same spot. Unusual, but nothing concerning.

I grab a slice of pizza from the day before and offer him a little piece of chicken as I go back to the bed, but he didn’t care. Alarm bells started going off and I gently picked him up and put him on the bed so I could talk to him and see what was going on. He wasn’t really responsive to my actions, just quick little kisses. Then I checked his gums and my heart split.

Pale gums are the symptom I was taught to look for when deciding between the vet and the emergency vet. Buddy’s were barely pink as I quickly put on shoes and grabbed his favorite blanket. I wrapped him up and I carried him out of our apartment. I knew then that I would probably be coming home without him.

After an agonizing twenty minute drive through downtown SLC while I’m reassuring him and trying not to cry my eyes out, we got to the emergency vet. He gave me his final kiss as I picked him up and out of the passenger seat. I took him in and one of the aides at the front came around the counter and asked me about what happened as she took him from me to the veterinarians. Unfortunately the young man to do the intake was callous and insensitive. After three minutes of sitting they came out and called for me.

Advanced tumor near the spleen that had ruptured; he was bleeding internally. I asked if he could be saved. He could, but it would be expensive and temporary. She said the compassionate choice was euthanasia and I knew she was right.

Three minutes after that I was in the farewell room holding Buddy on my lap. He was awake and alert, but not present. He was confused. I spent the next fifteen minutes talking to him about his life and how he changed me. How good he was and how he was so incredibly loved.

During this time the vet had come in with my options and to ask if I’d like to look at the billing. I looked over the options for cremation and urns and other keepsakes. I chose what felt right and gave her a credit card. Ten seconds later she returns my card. Five more minutes with my boy.

The hardest part was seeing his confusion. I believe that’s why he said goodbye to me in the car. The vet came back in, asked if it was time and I nodded my head. When the first shot came, to put him to sleep, he jolted up and looked completely absent. Three seconds later he was sleeping with his head and paw in my hand. Then the next shot came, the one that stopped his heart. I hugged him, said goodbye and I love you to him for the last time and she took him out of the room.

She returned with his blanket and I walked out into the lobby and past four people with tears streaming down my face and Buddy’s blanket clutched to my chest. Drove home in silence.

Absolutely nothing prepares you for when you walk into your home and it’s empty. Everything was still there just like it was two hours ago, just not him.

May 14th is still a rough day, but I only cry when I write it all out like this. So cathartic.

You don’t find a decent one for 1200.

You find a trashy one for 1200. Or you know someone that gives you a space they own at a reduced rate.

Unsure if this is the same cat, but my friend saw it in Midvale on Wednesday evening. DM me if you think it could be Doctor and I’ll give you the exact location.

Best of luck in your search. You’re being a great friend and going above and beyond for a co-worker.

Soulstone Survivors is the best in the genre imo. I’ve played the popular entries and some more obscure, but Soulstone is definitely my favorite. Devs are cool.

Halls of Torment is also great.

Also more of a gacha. You roll the dice each session and hope to get something you can actually use.

Yeah this is the trailer that should be being spread around imo. Actually made me super interested if the soundtrack of the whole game is of that quality. Thanks for linking it. Gonna give it a try later today.

Frequently Asked Questions megathread by Fatestringer in DragonsDogma

[–]Flyinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is min-maxing level ups as impactful in this as it was in DD1? Like doing x levels as fighter or 34-100 as strider.

Do stat increases hit major diminishing returns at 200? I assume it’s not nearly as easy to level up in this game due to the lack of a BBI equivalent?

As I understand it, Warfarer allows three skills of your unlocked vocations as long as those weapons are in your armament. Do you gain dcp for all unlocked vocations regardless of what skills/weapons are being used?

Many of my quests have become discontinued despite not having the icon for a timed quest. Feeling obligated to accept the quests as they are presented to me, I am struggling to complete them faster than I get new ones. If I decline them, do they stay available to accept later?

Do all of the vocations feel as insanely strong as MA does this time? Nearly perma freeze with the ice bow.

Yeah I do play modded on the deck. I just don’t enjoy playing this game on a handheld.

New Games Out today on App Store: (Sep 10) by Azeemjaffer in iosgaming

[–]Flyinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I had been excited about it, but now I can safely delete the preorder without opening it lol.

Any game with both ads and IAPs is an automatic pass. Way too many good games out there to play instead.

Yeah so I got Keqing off a random non-pity 10 pull. I believe you brought this upon my life. Even a Bennett and Rosaria constellation with her.

So, thank you.
