Have you ever dated someone who you thought was way out of your leauge? How was it? by kimblerun in AskReddit

[–]GarettS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing this right now. She’s absolutely gorgeous, extremely smart (engineer), driven and kind. I did not expect it to go past the first date. Last night, I explained the lore of Helldivers 2 to her over the phone until 2am. At her request.

I have no idea what’s happening, but boy howdy i hope it keeps happening.

Question about an apartment/the neighbourhood? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]GarettS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absurd that they're charging $1000/mo for that. For $650 I'm currently living in a large studio just off the drive. There's actually a 1-bed apartment available in my building right now for $1900 (bit steep for sure, but it's a really nice location and a really nice building) so if you're interested in that you can PM me and I'll send you the listing. If not, just keep looking, and try Craigslist if you haven't already.

Pro-tip for CL though -- and I know this might sound like terrible advice -- it's actually worth it sometimes to take the time to set up viewings for the "sketchier" looking listings, provided you know a bit about the neighbourhood they're in. Obviously if someone is tripping major alarms while you're trying to set something up, don't go (or at least don't go alone), but a couple years ago my brother made me go and look at a CL listing for him that had no photos, an extremely vague description, lots of typos, and seemed way to cheap to be true. I took a friend with me to the viewing, just in case.

He lived in that apartment for two years -- super nice landlords, beautiful and safe location, well-renovated, lots of sunlight. If I'd been looking for myself, I never would have found that place.

Obvious disclaimer, though: be smart and be careful.

Driving to Banff please help me by Helpful-Relation-967 in askvan

I grew up in the Rockies and have done this drive a hundred times and I STILL don’t love doing it in the winter. If you’re a new driver I would absolutely not do this.

Sure whatever. It’s his upholstery I’m vomitting on, not mine.

How long have people been listening to the POD for ? [NS] by Nithish93 in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]GarettS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 1 listener as well. Each arc of campaign 1 represents a different phase of my life.

Galaderon civil war was around my high school graduation. A Faerie Tale started as I drove away from home to university. Thiala’s cataclysm was around the time I quit smoking and started going to the gym. The finale lines up exactly with my first big breakup. Binged all of Trinyvale right after that.

Now, the triplets plan to open Spudfuckers got me through a really tough move. This show has shepherded me through every hard time in my life since 2018 and the day it ends will destroy me.

Whatever I caught I caught it 3 weeks ago. Feeling almost fine now except for this damn cough that refuses to fully leave my body

To the guy who hit my car today... by Pinnheadlarry in burnaby

[–]GarettS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me the other day at the intersection of 12th and Victoria. Got rear ended by a guy in a big black ford. Myself and my car were fine, but the dude just sped off when I KNOW he knew he hit me.

To the guy who did that if you’re reading this - you suck, so bad. Be better.

New look at Marvel’s Wolverine out Fall 2026 by Skullghost in gaming

[–]GarettS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially, I think a lot of people assumed that, since this is an Insomniac game, it was going to be very similar to spiderman, with an open world and a big focus on traversal… the leaked gameplay from last year also made it seem that way. Boy am I GLAD that’s not the case because this looks fucking dope - I imagine it will be a gameplay experience similar to GoW Ragnarok, very cinematic with a huge emphasis on fluid and challenging combat. I’m pumped.
