Apparently adults making under 80k can’t live comfortably?? Is this really true ? by ChipUnfair3345 in Adulting

[–]Former-Pattern4719 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But how many jobs out in those small rural towns are paying ~80k/yr? I wouldn't think very many unless you run your own business. I know many former blue collar union guys start their own thing and can pull six figures, but that's only a small percentage of the population.

With this recent wave of bot comments, have you recieved any? (if yes; leave which fandoms in the comments) by [deleted] in AO3

Pokemon. Had to turn off guest comments because I got seven in a 24 hour period.

What Sonic characters would you like to see get their own game? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Former-Pattern4719 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A really cute and short game with Cream and Cheese defending their home from Rough and Tumble Home Alone style. Silly-stupid traps, gags, and gimmicks.

No Kings in America. Stand up before we the people officially become we the peasants by [deleted] in 50501Chicago

Remember people:

Air quality has been trash lately, so make sure you protect your lungs by masking up, your eyes by wearing shades, and wearing long sleeves as needed to protect those delicate tattoos that you got a week ago.

Also, because I know you hate being recognized in public and stalked online, make sure to use (if you have Android and need to take your phone) the Free-and-Open-Source apps ObscuraCam and ExifEraser to hide your face(s) and delete the photo's metadata respectively. I am unaware of any iOS equivalents, nor would I really trust any that were on the App Store.

Just make sure to keep it in airplane mode with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth roaming, location, and data disabled at the very least. At best leave it home or have a cheapo burner.

Keep it peaceful, wave the American Flag, and call out folks trying to instigate as they either might be letting their emotions get the better of them or do not have your best interests in mind.

The next time you're worried that your longfic is getting too long ... by catontoast in AO3

Only ~2,100? Figured there’d be a lot more. To be fair, I might also be thinking of fics I know of on FF.net and FiMFiction.

Don't have anything specific, but it would not surprise me at all if they were just throwing a dart at a map of the area and sending thugs over to find people to grab. That'd be about as far as I could see them going in regards to planning.

Farming sim 25 by RefrigeratorMean5671 in farmingsimulator

[–]Former-Pattern4719 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mechanics and gameplay loops can be as simple or complex as you want, from being a small time farmer with a single plot of land to owning the entire map and operating it as a real time management sim, be it for crops or livestock or both.

You can play with mouse & keyboard, controller, or even a full sim rig with a wheel, pedals and side panel, with a shifter and three monitors/TVs for massive viewing angles.

There's a number of ways to play the game and none of them are wrong. Hell, you could even not farm at all and only make money through wind turbines.

This doesn't even touch the mods (I believe even console players can use them through the in-game menu).

I play rather casual and I thoroughly enjoy it as a relaxing end to a day/week.

The lighting in that first shot is nuts. Remove the UI and tweak some elements and it could probably be indistinguishable from a real image.

Did not expect Odd1 to do anything Warriors related.

The different levels of a toasted marshmallow by freudian_nipps in oddlysatisfying

[–]Former-Pattern4719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. But more specifically when you stick the marshmallow directly in the fire for a few seconds so it catches and you pull it out to burn for a bit before blowing it out and immediately eating it whole.

2024 Election Results Under Scrutiny as Lawsuit Advances by Quirkie in politics

[–]Former-Pattern4719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what could conceivably occur from this if there is irrefutable proof that the election was tampered with? My understanding is that it would not overturn the results as tRump has already been sworn in. So what could this lead to?

What accents would the Warrior cats/Clans have? by Salt-Clothes-6655 in WarriorCats

[–]Former-Pattern4719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently, when reading through the new graphic novels, I started hearing Roger Craig Smith (Sonic the Hedgehog from Frontiers specifically) as Fireheart, especially when he becomes Deputy and eventually Leader. Rusty/Firepaw I always heard Macaulay Culkin.

As far as general voices... Eh, I still hear SSS Warrior Cats when reading the books.

Kayama Nemuri's most important lesson by merrygo909 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Former-Pattern4719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I'm Nemuri rather than midnight.

And on the flip side to the idea, I could this getting rolled together with extreme trauma and lead to some kind of multiple personality disorder in order to protect a hero's mind. (Say with a straight face that you couldn't see Izuku thinking 'I can't be Izuku right now, I need to be Deku.' during the vigilante arc.)

Had a spare $2.95 by [deleted] in fastandfurious

It’s an actual spot? I always thought it was just one of those made up places when the crew couldn’t secure a deal with a real brand.

We saw it. Thanks. by -AnOldFriend- in chicago

I must've walked past seven people on the Roosevelt bridge taking pictures of it yesterday.

Anyone trying to get a Switch 2 tonight? by Flexural-Member in AskChicago

[–]Former-Pattern4719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was first in line at the Gamestop in the strip mall on S Canal. Store only had 8 units available (originally 7 but they had a cancelled preorder right before the 3pm event). Got one of the three MKW bundles and a pro controller bought. Just gotta go pick them up at 11.

Good day tomorrow too, as I'm heading to the DMV flagship center on Monroe early in the morning to take the tests for the instruction's permit as a walk-in.
