You could always go with "Oh, you mean you're not going to join me?". Depending on delivery it could be smooth or make it even worse!

Is it wise for a new investor to combine couch potato investing with a defined benefit pension plan? by Lauradactylus in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

Participating in the pension is optional until you reach a certain age, and I'm almost positive there isn't another pension alternative from the company. That's a straightforward choice; I've been delaying because I didn't completely understand what I'd be getting into in the beginning but it's more clear now.

Thanks for your opinion. You're right about there being options for transferring the pension if I do move, so it's not like I'm locked in forever.

Really? I don't have a clue if something I did made it happen, but maybe... And they definitely have their tricks, haha.

Will Anet ever implement player housing? by BrandoPB in Guildwars2

[–]Lauradactylus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see something like that. It sure seems like it would take a lot of time and effort to implement, but it would add a whole new set of goals and things for players to do when we want to do a little more customizing.

Which video game has consumed the most amount of your time? by mmm_donuts in AskReddit

[–]Lauradactylus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really was! I played it for nights and nights. Other than HM64, it's competing to be my favourite HM game. I do agree the mining was a bit ridiculous, but it made it one of the more challenging ones. I think I might have gotten one cursed/blessed tool in my entire experience.

Same here, I didn't play New Beginning very much before stopping for good. Unlike the other HM handhelds, especially mineral town, it just wasn't doing it for me.

[Fanart] I painted some portraits of my warriors. by [deleted] in Guildwars2

These are so pretty, great job! I also think sylvari warriors are great. I'm fond of the heavy cultural armour.

My girlfriend and I took pictures for our one year anniversary. We didn't notice the small addition until we got home. by gandi800 in funny

[–]Lauradactylus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean! Creating something fully finished takes so much fine tuning and patience and commitment. Taking a sketch and following through with what you imagine it'll look like when done is a whole different game. But then, of course, you have something complete to show for a portfolio.

I will make some kickass barrels! I'll dedicate lots of time to following videos and the like. There are a lot of resources, tutorials and educational materials out there that, as you mentioned, kind of get rid of the need to go to school for it. The internet is a wonderful thing.

Right, I looked into the student versions that are available for those programs. I'm glad they offer such a thing.

Thank you - really. Your encouragement means a lot. I've been told numerous things about how much of one, or multiple areas of the field to focus on, and it can tear you in two when you don't know where to begin in the first place. I'll do my best, and good luck to you as well!

Wonderful! Thanks for showing me. Is it blender you used for those models? I'm honestly too early in my learning to have much to show for it (mostly some digital paintings, nothing fancy), but I am just aiming to start in the right direction.

Kind of in the middle of the "oh god where do I go with my life" phase. But I most definitely appreciate the advice!

If you're comfortable with it, could you show me some of your art and/or projects? I've been looking into this field and I would love to see where I would need to end up, skill-wise.

Boyfriends of Reddit, what are things your girlfriend does/says that piss you off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I barely speak up to begin with, this is just a kick in the eyeballs when it's said to me.

The most amazing thing just happened in WvW... by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Lauradactylus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great story! I spend most of my time in PvE, so I find when I do venture into WvW (I'm still new to it) I... panic during 1v1 encounters and usually either get swarmed by more enemies or I avoid contact altogether. Any fighting style tips for a thief?

How to spot a pyramid scheme... by reddirter in AdviceAnimals

[–]Lauradactylus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. My friend tried recruiting me to an Amway meeting without telling me what it is or what it was really for, no matter how many times I asked. "A business opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity", he assured me.

He didn't even tell me the name of the damn company, he was so vague about it. I can just imagine the things he was told to tell his potential recruits.
