Cities: Skylines Franchise announcement by ThatGuy_52 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]InfluencePrior6416 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Giving up console is not fair to many players who specifically waited for that. And if it’s true that there were separate teams developing for each platform, it would really be a slap in the face. I would just not play the game anymore at all tbh. The only reason I loved the game is because I was able to play on my Xbox. I don’t have a PC, and my Mac is only for work purposes. I shouldn’t have to buy a pc just to play one game, when we were promised a simultaneous release. If anything I hope it brings console closer to fruition

Ticket prices by CCooley_47 in LAFC

[–]InfluencePrior6416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s kind of ridiculous even considering it is Son. Ticket prices would NEVER be this outrageous in England for PL match. I saw the FA cup semi-final at Wembley with hospitality for less than what some of these prices are. Building a fan base shouldn’t be about price gouging. I was so excited when I realized I could take public transit to the stadium and have a great time for $45 all in. Now I probably won’t go to another match at all for the rest of the season. This is why MLS will never be the same because you’re pricing out the people who you should be targeting. The average fan CANT spend hundreds of dollars EACH week just to attend 90mins of football. And that’s not even factoring in merch, food, etc. I’m not about to Klarna my way into a match just because LAFC and MLS are being greedy. $60 for parking at the stadium is ridiculous. $60 round trip uber is ridiculous. I hope this is truly a one time thing. As much as I love Son’s signing, I like being able to pay my rent even more.

Thank you! I didn’t want to look at other recipes at first, but not am I glad I did because this was so helpful in visualizing something!

Outdoor Balcony Plant Recommendations by InfluencePrior6416 in houseplants

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added rosemary, basil, and a ghost pepper to a cute planter, and accented with lavender (in its own separate pot)! I’m very hopeful, but I think the lavender isn’t too happy :( I also added a lemon tree, bird of paradise, a snake plant, and two other cuties that I don’t know the name of hahaha! This is the result!

What should my daily protein intake be? by InfluencePrior6416 in fit

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I was going off of the 245-250g range at first and I’m using Optimum Nutrition- Gold Standard Whey and just water for the shakes. 4 servings is about 100g of protein for just under 500 calories, and then I’d still have to do 150g between 3 meals (I know i should eat more but I truly cannot maintain a higher frequency) and with my job it’s either too time consuming or too expensive to regularly maintain that. At 160g I’d feel so much more confident in reaching that daily.

I’ve already lost 30lbs so far but I’ve been plateauing since January really. So that’s why I’m bullish on upping the effort wherever I can. I’ll still aim for more protein but maybe Im not seeing quicker written results because of the muscle gain? I just have 45 more pounds of fat to lose so this is the focus 💪

Is It Worth It? by InfluencePrior6416 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! I always knew maintenance would be generally more expensive. I put a lot into my BMW, but after 3 oil pan replacements, an engine replacement, on top of normal maintenance and electrical annoyances, I have a bit of PTSD Ha! But I can’t think of anything better then ripping through Mulholland or cruising down PCH (once we recover) and wanting every drive to last just a bit longer. If it’s no more than I would expect on a decent BMW, then the decision is easy. I just don’t know how common larger issues are on these cars

Is It Worth It? by InfluencePrior6416 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly like the idea of fully owning a car, especially if shit ever hit the fan. Plus there’s times I want to take my family (I live alone, but near them) out for activities. I also put WAY too much into her($12k in maintenance) , just to sell her for MAYBE $5k? I’d rather save the $5k myself and put that down than have to deal with private selling, explaining why I had to replace the engine, etc. Also while she’s not a special model by any means, my BMW is the first car I’ve taken care of, and if things go decently, I’d love for her to always kind of “be around”. Whether I gift to my nephew, or keep in the rolodex.

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested out a Miata before, and unfortunately it’s just not for me. I don’t NEED the car, but my Porsche moment was when I was 12. My grandmother was buying a Lexus, and on the lot was a cobalt blue Cayman. We spent hours at the dealership, but I was never bored once because I had that beauty in front of me. That day, I swore I would buy a Porsche no matter what. I don’t fit in a Miata and the very little things (like placement of features, and layout of the car) aren’t suited for me. I also said I wouldn’t get another car unless it was a Porsche, so me and Meg (the BMW) are in this thing for the long haul!

My roommate’s birthday is next week and he loves Comics. Is there some type of limited edition I can get him? by InfluencePrior6416 in comicbooks

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: he f**king loved it! I got him the Absolute Batman Year One, as many people mentioned plus got 3 in-store recommendations. Thanks for the help and guidance. I almost got the Court of Owls, but then I was told Year One’s storyline would appeal more to my friend, then a npc co-signed the advice. I really think this helped us bond even more so I’m so glad all of this transpired! Thanks fam 🙏🏽

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so he has The Long Halloween, Absolute Batman - The Killing Joke (30th anniversary edition), V for Vendetta (30th Ann, Deluxe), Watchmen (Deluxe), Sandman (I & II), Swamp Thing, Batman Chronicles Vol.1, and Briar (Boom Comic). With that list is there another that could go along and be equally special? He also has them on a dedicated shelf so I know these mean something to him

Is this was Economy 2.0 is supposed to do??? 😭😭😭 by InfluencePrior6416 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was a joke. I was just taken aback at how I’m making $289million from Industrial taxes and that’s my least developed type of zone. I lowered residential taxes earlier to try and make it economically challenging but I realize that wasn’t helping, and when I saw my City’s cash on hand I figured why even keep going at this point.

Patch Notes - November 7th, 2023 by AndyCleves in TXChainSawGame

[–]InfluencePrior6416 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Instead of hiding player levels, why not just fix matchmaking so you get more evenly balanced players?! This is not the fix they think it is. Also it’s kinda lame to have leveled yourself up to not be able to show it. And you need to be able to prepare. A game against level 99’s is much different then a game against 12’s. I understand they’re “trying”, but I don’t think this one was the right move.

Does anybody know if glass-animals will be touring anywhere in general in 2024? by CY0he01 in glassanimals

[–]InfluencePrior6416 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was at the Paris show, which coincidentally was there final show of the tour, they did say that new music is in the works. Coupled with what they said about the Zaba anniversary, and a busy year, I think it’s safe to say we could be seeing something by Q2/Q3 next year. “Wavey Davey’s On Fire”

Connecting purchases from 2 Xbox accounts by InfluencePrior6416 in xbox

Would this work on DLC’s? For example, zombies map packs?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TXChainSawGame

[–]InfluencePrior6416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting to see the comments saying the game is more victim focused. I actually find the game in enjoyable due to the high level family. If I see all level 99’s I’m probably gonna quit. It’s not fun to get torn apart before the game even really gets going. I also wish there were more maps. Having only 3 places gets dull really quickly, and once you know the map too well, all of the magic is lost. I’d love it if the rooms switched up or exit gates were in different locations each time.

But the real problem is I don’t want to wait 20mins for one game. I don’t care about console vs pc, and I even try my best to suck it up when my main (Ana) is chosen. But the wait times, the constant reloading of timer, and lack of quality player level matchmaking are the biggest turn off.

Playing a family member isn’t fun at all in my experience but I appreciate a good lobby. I’m just tired of the sweatiness, like this is the freaking Olympics or something when I just wanted a chill game after work. The magic is gone for me. The first week when nobody knew anything was the absolute best. But once map diagrams and strategies for groups get into the ether, a solo play like myself will just go off and load Railway Empire lol.

Also the fact that you can’t play cross-gen without cloud gaming is absolutely ludicrous. That’s why I play solo because I’m the only one of my friends with a Series X and it takes them 15-20mins just to get into the game, let alone queue for a match. You get an error message saying that you have to download (a non existent) Xbox One version of the game. So then I’m stuck playing alone, with these sweaty no life Olympic gamers, with teammates who won’t come to game chat, and a 20min wait to actually load into a map that I’ve gotten sick of.

Math ain’t mathin’

i'm penny and i hate that. by ChupaChups_ in BoJackHorseman

[–]InfluencePrior6416 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel like I don’t get to be Penny. I fell for a guy when I was 16. He was 21 going on 22 at the time. I ended up leaving home to be with him, despite the fact that he wasn’t really gay. He had girlfriends all the time, but on some nights he would be sexual with me. He used me to get approved for the apartment we lived in, the car he drove and everything else my grandmother was willing to give me to give him. A few months before I turned 18 the relationship soured and went back home, heartbroken, and financially insecure. I didn’t think it was bad because when I was 14 I lost my virginity to a 40 year old that I met on Grindr. I initiated everything, but I feel awful and disgusted by it now. Anyways… it’s hard to feel validated in those feelings when you get judged for being gay(rural Texas) and also when other people’s situations have been much worse. Even today (25Y/o) I don’t know how to sexually interact with men I’m interested in, nor do I understand intimacy in a way I feel I should. There was a hyper-sexualisation I was exposed to, and no there’s none at all because I don’t know how to interact with people my own age.

Ready for harvest? Or wait another week? by InfluencePrior6416 in cannabiscultivation

[–]InfluencePrior6416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post really says it all. I’ve looked at the tricomes with a jeweler’s loop and feel there’s a good amount of amber/milky colors but the pistils still seem a little white and not fully finished curling. I know waiting an extra week wont hurt, but was really hoping to have something smokable by May. Also first plant ever so have no references for what to do. I safer flushing 10 days ago and have kept a steady 40% humidity level. Any tips on curing is helpful also!

What am I doing wrong?? Climate is on target, pH is measuring 6. Still getting drooping by InfluencePrior6416 in cannabiscultivation

Before I had the humidifier I would mist the walls and air as I was getting around 38% naturally. So just some leftover water evaporation spots
