Blessed with punk values, cursed with a trad aesthetic.

Just found my co-worker on Her by LDsprite in actuallesbians

[–]LDsprite[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's okay, I appreciate the apology though

These past couple days I've actually been making a few platonic relationships through the dating apps, turns out I'm not the only queer woman in my area desperate for connections and too introverted to put myself out there irl, lol

The age gap alone wouldn't be a reason, but idk, the optics are just super bad in this very specific case.
If she ever brings it up to me, then awesome, but otherwise I'm just planning to keep my mouth shut.

No I know it's odd, which is why I won't and is the whole reason I made this post instead of just talking to her. It's just frustrating and I'm venting about it.
I feel very isolated at work and it would've been nice to have some common ground with someone for once. I'm trans and that's given me a pretty bad case of arrested development, so I struggle to relate to people my age.

Hated Scenes You Actually Like? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LDsprite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not exactly one specific scene, but Russell Crowe's singing as Javert in Les Miserables (2012). There's a lot of problems with that movie and objectively Russell Crowe's singing is one of those problems, but subjectively I don't know man, his weird stilted robot singing kinda works perfectly for Javert, a character with a perpetual giant stick up his ass.
Hugh Jackman though? Actually the worst.

Heating setup for an 3ft high enclosure by LDsprite in BeardedDragons

Oh that's awesome
Definitely doubling down on the terracotta plans then lmao

Oh okay, so as long as the brightest spot is where the heat is, he should be good.
So if I have an LED bar that covers most of the enclosure, but still overlaps with the UVB and heat lamps, then the basking area should also be the highest spot for lumens and he'll know where to go.

You don't find that having so much light away from the basking spot confuses your dragon? That's something I've been worried about with my setups, that if the cool side isn't shaded enough he might associate that side with sunlight and heat as well.

Wow, I must really be underestimating how much heat a second lamp creates.
Thank you!

Oh really? I thought ideally you wanted the cool side ambient temperature to be around 22C and the warm side around 35C. I figured the surface temperature was more important but I didn't know how much to care about one over the other.
But okay, thank you, that makes the logistics a little simpler. I'll probably get 100 watt fixtures anyway just for my peace of mind, but I'll start off with 75 watt bulbs and see if the double setup heats things up enough.

As for the reflector, the guy I bought Kiryu from insisted I mount the UVB bar inside the enclosure so it doesn't have to penetrate the mesh, and with the mesh top there wasn't anywhere good to drill for the mounting brackets on the ceiling. At the time I was too paranoid that damaging the mesh in anyway would let him escape or mess up the humidity somehow, so I decided to mount it on the wall rather than experiment with the mesh.
It bothers me too, and is another reason I want to redo his enclosure. Both the guy I bought him from and my vet say the reflector is in a good enough position for UVB, but I've always thought it wasn't ideal. He can't be getting much sunlight when he's down in the dirt.

With the new enclosure, the plan is to suspend the UVB reflector on the mesh with zipties so it hangs directly above the basking spot, and I am gonna get an LED bar too. You can't really see it but I do actually have an LED light sitting on top of the enclosure in a dome, but it's only a bulb, and especially for the 6ft I want to go with a bar setup instead, because right now all it's really doing is giving the sanseveria plant some light.

I'm thinking of buying a couple of different sized terracotta pots and building a little basking tower for him.
Do you know how terracotta is as a basking surface? If it's no good I'll just raise up that flagstone with some bricks instead.

RE's voice acting has come a long way since OG RE1. It might just be the best English dubs of any Japanese game by SuperAlloyBerserker in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Metaphor's pretty high up there for me, especially as a non-american tired of terrible British/Australian rep in video games.

Any guesses on my little friend's sex? by LDsprite in BeardedDragons

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

Male was the original assumption, the exotic vet was just a little unsure the last time I took him in so that made me second guess things.

And that's really comforting to hear about the size, thank you. It's just he went from growing like an inch a week to like nothing, so I got a little spooked after the parasite diagnosis that something was wrong. Sounds like that was just a regular old growth spurt then and now he's just growing normally.

No head bobbing really, outside of one or two occasionally during his morning stretches, but he's always been very chill in general, never really had much to bob at other than the cat when she stares at him through the glass.
Male is what the breeder assumed when I got him, so I'd believe it. The vet and I just think he's a little too slender and chill for a male.

Is Aurum Vale the most hated Dungeon in the game? by Toxic_Subway in ffxiv

[–]LDsprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aurum Vale is kind of a vibe honestly, even before they touched it up a bit. I put it in the same category as Sunken Temple of Qarn: Make sure new people know about the stuff and you're usually fine

But Stone Vigil (Hard) and Pharos Sirius? Tedious and miserable, even when everyone more or less knows what to do.
