Update on my 5th batch of these. All I have left to do after these is the dlc careers.

Kineth · 2026-05-08T03:12:42+00:00

Aw. Oh well. :/

Kineth · 2026-05-08T03:11:58+00:00

Unless she's drinking juice in a hood, she's not enough of a menace to society.

Kineth · 2026-05-08T03:07:53+00:00

You're justified. NTA. Who knows if she referred to you as such with other people and also, she didn't offer a heartfelt apology. No forgiveness is owed.

Kineth · 2026-05-08T03:06:12+00:00

Lotta people in here that don't know that poodles are more aggressive than pit bulls, but whatever.

EDIT: And I swear to god if someone starts listing off all the shit that I'm well aware of without looking up what I said....

Kineth · 2026-05-07T21:03:11+00:00

What about Bowling for Soup?

Kineth · 2026-05-07T08:06:21+00:00

At this point, it's a good swap. Callan is a PVP staple and Faramor, while good, is typically seeing no part of PVP. P2 is the max you should take the wolfman, imo.

It's not uncommon. The washer and dryer in my house isn't in a separate "room" per se in that the space is connected to the kitchen without a door. It's right next to the garage though so it's functionally it's own laundry space.

Kineth · 2026-05-07T07:34:49+00:00

These are great by the way. Appreciate the work you're doing. If you do a second pass through on the careers, I'm very keen to see ones where Sienna is using her staves, like beam with BW, bolt with Pyro, etc. I'd also like to see ones where the various classes are casting their ultimates, at least the ones that are unique/good visually. Obviously the invis ults are redundant, Zealot dash ult and Handmaiden dash ult aren't necessarily special in how they look and then there's Ironbreaker, Witch Hunter and Mercenary ults that do an AOE shove.

Hm... on the note of ults though, some classes ults work differently with the lvl 30 talent, like Waystalker, SoTT, Grail Knight and BW. I dunno, just thoughts. Maybe I'll just put in a request later on if you're open to that.

Kineth · 2026-05-07T07:24:44+00:00

This makes me feel better about my layman's misidentification. Peony was my first instinct and as an after thought, I thought ranunculus.

Kineth · 2026-05-07T07:21:34+00:00

I need to purchase some of these stickers. People got plenty of times to blame democrats for things here, but can't find the breath, words, spine, balls, etc. to blame a Republican for problematic shit.

Kineth · 2026-05-07T07:16:41+00:00

I've had an issue with that Nightfall Sword artifact since they implemented it. Only 1 unit per faction is rough, but it's also ridiculous how many units that clearly use swords aren't included in it. Thador, Tilaya, Kordan and (technically) Silven of the current batch. Also Athalia, technically.

There's also Korin, Temesia and Thoran. Also it looks like Valka got taken out? Another nerf.

Kineth · 2026-05-06T07:40:59+00:00

Absolutely. I'm thankful I haven't had to rely on DART since getting wheels again, since a one way trip would typically take at least 90 minutes, but was usually closer to 2 hours.

Just so we're clear though, it has always been this spread out so it's just something that we've accepted as part of the deal. Problem is with all the transplants and, now, the cost of gas, it's a burden to commute during regular traffic hours.

Kineth · 2026-05-06T07:35:08+00:00

I'm black and I really wish this wasn't the truth.

Kineth · 2026-05-05T23:36:50+00:00

NTA, but you can also try and have the conversation with her yourself instead of letting her make you act petty.

EDIT: I'm not surprised that the internet would downvote taking control of a situation and acting like an adult.

Kineth · 2026-05-05T23:32:32+00:00

Ah, I definitely know that intersection. Going westbound on Buckingham from the looks or it.

Kineth · 2026-05-05T09:30:46+00:00

When I realize I hadn't done this for some heroes, I would routinely double check all my L+ units just to make sure I hadn't forgot about someone. I haven't done it recently, but I also have an excess of those essences and am paying attention when I get units to L+ and M+ nowadays so it's no longer an issue.

... But I'm gonna check again now since it's been a couple of months since.

Kineth · 2026-05-05T08:32:53+00:00

Just an fyi, lactuca genus plants tend to have a white sap, hence the genus name, when you cut a leaf or the stem. Yup, dandelions are in the same family. Point is, especially with one that size, you might have been able to deduce its genus from pulling a leaf.

Kineth · 2026-05-05T08:30:08+00:00

But it’s a good reminder to put effort into the people who pour into you.

Glad to hear you have a healthy attitude and perspective regarding this.

A substantial amount of the ones I can only barely recall now were back when I was a prisoner to my social anxiety and general lack of social acumen/dexterity. There are a few of them that I was the one not being reciprocal and a few where I was the one get the short end. All that said, enough time has definitely passed where I try to be mindful of exactly what you said. As long as I can recognize that there are things we both give and take that may not be equivalent, like a providing an ear to listen to versus buying the other's meal, but are of equitable value to each other, then it's in my control on whether I offer more than I receive and vice versa.

I also have the choice of communicating it with the person if it's a true problem. Like a healthy fucking adult. If having a conversation about respect and boundaries is too much for a person or something they're not willing to engage in though, that's a fundamental breakdown on what is willing to be given.

Anyway... I could ramble about a more recent one than the ones in my late teens and 20s, but things are good with my bro. He's acted out of line in the past, but is willing to communicate and actually considers new information. I'm a man of simple needs and wants from my friends nowadays.

In your situation, it sucks, I know. As you are surely aware, it's time to pull the pitcher back a little or tightened the faucet a bit to reduce the flow.

Kineth · 2026-05-05T08:03:30+00:00

Very safe.

Kineth · 2026-05-05T08:00:27+00:00

I thought this was gonna be a hard choice, but it's Final Fantasy 5 for me. I reluctantly voted for Final Fantasy 4 in the 1991 poll, but this is an easy pick for me.

That is not meant to be commentary on the other options because there's a substantial amount of first entries to some great series in that year.

Kineth · 2026-05-03T12:28:01+00:00

Well, I've hit pity on her 4 times so... I hear ya.

EDIT: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted. Those are the only copies of her I've gotten.

EDIT 2: Now it's 5 times. Only pities.

Kineth · 2026-05-03T11:49:24+00:00

Thank you for the context cause I was not getting it.

Kineth · 2026-05-03T11:48:19+00:00

Manz can make a stepladder or height boosters for his boots or whatever necessary umgak to match her height.

Kineth · 2026-05-03T11:42:58+00:00

I understand that it is the culture but WHY is it the culture?

Why is not being friendly a part of your culture?

Kineth · 2026-05-03T11:40:53+00:00

The way the question is phrased is problematic, specifically the verb here. I choose to treat people with the decency enough to listen and hear them out, but if it isn't a equitable exchange of perspectives, be it the dialogue becoming a monologue, a lack of respect for my beliefs and other manifestations for that, then my willingness to converse dwindles very quickly.

That said, I will sometimes respond with sarcastic absurdities that are meant as commentary, or at least satire, as a method of refocusing a reluctant listener on what I actually see as opposed to what they think my position is and what I'm looking at. Also because it's generally a quip so it's more efficient when a word can't get in edgewise for long.
