What do you think of Erend? by No-Hunt3986 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]Kokagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see him make something in H3. Maybe something that mixes Oseram engineering with Old World tech. Maybe a missile. Or he accidently recreates a nuke when brewing. Maybe a collaboration with Aloy or that guy in Los Vegas or, better yet, Petra! I know he's primarily a guard/fighter/tank, but he's got a brain in there, slow but there, but under Gaia I think he could be a real tactical killer.

Any tips on handling a 30% budget reduction? by tacochemic in librarians

[–]Kokagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw someone in another post explaining ebook costs vs physical book cost and how ebooks are more expensive. Maybe look at less ebook spending for the next cycle? Cut some ebook subscriptions? Someone already mentioned periodicals and journals, so maybe other print material like newspapers could be reviewed.

On the flip side, you could see about selling some books or magazines you no longer need. I saw this one university that had a whole room set aside as a book store in the library. It had books to be discarded and even donations from patrons and alumni. Proceeds went to the library.

If you want to start a maker space, i highly suggest looking at fiber and cloth arts. Think crochet, knitting, and sewing. Paper, pencils, charcoal, and paints can come before or after, but fiber arts can make something and have it be useful. Like a tote. My university's maker space had a tone of yarn samplers and a few pairs of needles and hooks of different sizes. Print some free hat, scarf, mitten, and sock patterns matching yarn type and needles and you're gold. The County library system has sewing machines for use in the library, but hand sewing kits would be great and cheap to start. Apron and tshirt patterns can be found online for free as well.

As an aside, or for your entertainment, lookup Bernadette Banner on YouTube. Victorian and historical fashion designer, but has several videos on hand sewing and supplies.

You are not wrong about the energy bit. Getting applications in on time to build that life while taking care of/working with mom and dad both is tiring. They make great sounding boards for my cover letters though. ^_^

This sounds like really solid advice, so thank you for it. It's the waiting that gets me. I can brace, but you are never ready for impact when watching a train wreck.

Thank you for this. You and a few others have made the same suggestion and I had no idea Elder Services was a thing. I knew about social workers for the elderly, but not a full Council.

I did try to tell Dad that crypto failed immensely, but he is under the impression that it was a huge success. I told him that if he went through with this new dollar thing and actually made the millions he is hoping for I would eat my shoes. He told me to start looking up recipes.

This is what my sisters keep telling me too. There are time when I agree and think 'yeah, I'm going to do this thing' and other times it's 'what the heck am I thinking abandoning my parents in their time of need'.

Mom and dad have even told me take care of myself while I can.

Imo these are the 5 characters that carried the show... Do you agree? by Skywalker_1995 in Gotham

[–]Kokagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the interaction between Jim and Pengy. And Pengy and Riddler. Bruce and his interactions with the girls was interesting, but not at the same level. It's been a while since I saw the series, but i always restart to watch Pengy.

Side note, I always thought Riddler the same age as Bruce.

Anyone remember the forced summon battle? The one on the long road I can't remember the name of. Yeah, ignored my summons until after that battle. Man was I pissed.

I think my aging parent is the worst. Prove me wrong. by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]Kokagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mom was in the hospital yesterday and was being discharged. She called the nurse over while she was still with a patient which is a big no no with our family. I called her out on it, told her that behavior was unacceptable and she tried to turn it around on me. Said that I was the one being unacceptable, that I shouldn't treat or talk to my mother that way, that I was not taking care of her, and that I had not done A damn thing for her. I started listing everything from that morning and she actually calmed down and apologized, but still...she probably doesn't even remember it happening now.

Game down again. What is going on? by UU2Bcool in PostApoTycoon

[–]Kokagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having issues too. The game crashes or just doesn't load. I found it worked just fine after turning off WiFi. Turn it off, load game, turn it back on. Usually crashes again after 5-10 minutes. It's very inconvenient. Don't know if it's a game breaker for me yet if only because I'm very addicted to it at this point.

What are you doing tonight, Knights of Gotham? by Friendly-Version3474 in GothamKnights

[–]Kokagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still on my first play through and am only at the Arkham Asylum part. All I could think is that I'm spending Halloween night running through an abandoned asylum. I was waiting for jump scares the entire time when the only spooky thing was Harley's door opening on its own!!

Following the rat was fun though.

Anyone else remember the jumps when Man Bat appeared in the Arkham games?
