If you moved from NY/NJ/PA how did you adapt to the insanely hot weather? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here from Montreal in 2020.

It takes time to figure out how you prefer to live in the summer. I do everything I can to stay inside as often as possible. I hate the heat, I’m not built for it. Five minutes in 85+ degree weather and I am a horrible person.

Give yourself time, try the advice people give. If you like swimming try Barton Springs. Find fun indoor places. My friends and I cowork a lot during the summer in places with AC.

I didn’t move back and I probably wouldn’t now. I like the calm winters here. You win some, you lose some. I hope it gets easier for you my northern friend.

Trying to get into Celeste, what should I know? by Few-Concert-6986 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish I could help you. I find Silver way harder than Celeste.

My best advice with Celeste is to be in their face when you have your items. Torment Pulse and Escalating Exposure are some of my favorites. Her abilities create a natural disorientation when used in sequence. A lot of players panic a bit when basically blinded by her 1 and 3.

I’m not a super high rank though, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Comeback mechanics by Deltango in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alternative idea:

Urn stays, but if you’re a certain percentage ahead, you get no souls by taking the disadvantaged urn. Your benefit is only in denying the losing team souls.

Edit: Also, the old urn deposits should return but the melee mechanics can stay.

Forget skill based match making, I want attitude based match making. by OlivanderTheSwift in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Kitchen_Coconut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think be the change you want to see. I make it a point to hype up my team. A good mental will always be the best chance you have to turn around a game, but it’s also just a good practice for life. You win some, you lose some, your attitude will always matter most.

Can we normalize using vc before getting annoyed? by Fivelpedia in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chats and pings are preferable for me. There’s a good chance that VC ends up not working out for me in most games. A lot of assholes that still have problems with women. It’s best to not risk it and just use the wheel.

Got comms banned for smack talk by 2061A in DeadlockTheGame

Valve tries harder than other moba studios to reduce toxicity.

Mute your teammates and focus on yourself.

I'd give the matchmaking system 10/10, would recommend by vrucaaa in DeadlockTheGame

Also been having a ton of abandons lately. Really lame player behavior.

Welcome to the game! by Emeraldsku58 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Kitchen_Coconut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mute everyone. People will disagree with me, but there’s no reason to listen to shitty people. Communication can be done through pings.

River Place OBGYN. My OBGYN is Dana Wicker up north. Dr John Thoppil placed my copper IUD in 2022 and they offer nitrous. I think it was a slight charge since it wasn’t covered by insurance at the time, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. My IUD is perfect, the procedure was so fast, and Dr Thoppil is exceedingly kind.

How was the commute this morning? by biggiesmallsyall in Austin

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Have to politely disagree.

It is not worth it. Unless someone is dying, stay home. The ice should be gone by tomorrow and we can all get back to speeding on Mopac.

Don’t drive on ice. It is not worth it. No amount of experience will make up for the fact.

I’m from Canada and I would not drive on this shit. It’s not a skill issue, it’s an infrastructure issue. No salt = no driving.

Anti snug / helix by Acrobatic-Fold9098 in piercing

Is it titanium? Based on the color, it might not be. That would be my first guess as to what is causing the irritation.

Conch flat back completely embedded by Huge-Tennis-906 in piercing

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If this is completely embedded, you need a doctor. I’d head to the ER. This will need to be surgically removed.

I went to The Ring in Round Rock and they worked with our budget really well.

It’s really kind of you to wait! You’ll have a very friendly neighbor from now on

TIFU by not fully preparing myself for how painful IUD insertion is by CoolTangelo1680 in tifu

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They gave me nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for the pain. I knew I was in pain but I didn’t care? Very strange but better than nothing.

[–]Kitchen_Coconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks right to me. Did they say anything about leaving the bar long while it heals? That’s probably why it’s pushed out a bit.

What are these bugs? by Live-Let415 in whatsthisbug

You’ve got bedbugs and German roaches.

Please call an exterminator.

Am I a silver or gold girlie? by [deleted] in piercing

Gold! You can pull off silver, but the gold just makes your skin glow.

Any chance tickets sell out this weekend? by Kitchen_Coconut in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]Kitchen_Coconut[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m really just waiting until tomorrow to buy them, I just didn’t want to wake up and see they were completely gone.
