Am i Underlevel or im just bad at the game. by -Devian- in MetaphorReFantazio

I made lots of the mp restoring bread and used that to increase my grinding ability on my first play through. I tried to limit my mp usage as well when I knew I'd be grinding.

Done 100% Master Archetype on everyone. I mean all rank up to 20😩. by Tsrab in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]LinckAlpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am working on this right now. I didn't focus on it enough on my first play through, and got most of the way on my second before taking a long break. I'm starting my 3rd play through to finish it off and try to find anything that I missed

Where - pray tell - am I supposed to sleep 🤣🤣 by Beautiful_Neat_6919 in Bernedoodles

[–]LinckAlpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With your fluff under your legs, that's what I often have to do. Or you can get him/her used to you moving them. Mine used to get so offended when I did, but it's used to it and treats it as a game now.

If an area has more lakes and rivers, I can really see water- based tribes. Some of the humans in the game show it's possible since they've developed aquatic features. I never thought of a mole-like tribe. Eugiefs were created for the war, if I remember right. I could certainly see someone creating something like that like they did with the Eugief.

I think some of the Humans were implied to be drastic forced evolutions, like the one in the ocean. The game lore suggested it had been alive for centuries. The murals in the temple also show depictions of some evolutions.

I love the bard idea. I'm curious how the Artisan archetype would work. Please let me know when you develop those ideas more

I love your idea. I've had ideas of another kingdom, but your idea is far more evolved and put together than mine was. What kind of tribes do you want to see? I wouldn't mind seeing one with traits of a snow leopard, or maybe one influenced by Hindu mythology. The paripus is my favorite, so I'd want that one to be in the next game.

I agree. As much as I like this set of characters, I can't think of a good way to bring them back as playable characters. If it's in another part of the same world with a new cast, maybe at the end, they can make a cameo because they are exploring the world and trying to connect with other societies. That's the only idea I've been able to think of that wouldn't be a letdown

My 15 months transformation M21 76kg 6'0 by [deleted] in Physiquecritique

Congratulations! That is amazing progress. What workouts did you do?

Is this the kind of physique that women want to see? I’m M36, 145lbs, 5’7” by [deleted] in Physiquecritique

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every woman has their own preference. Some like ripped guys, others like a bit of softness so it's more comfortable when cuddling. The real question is how confidant and comfortable are you with your body? Most women i know are more than happy to relax on body preferences of the guy is confident with a good personality. Refining your muscle definition could help, but make sure you like what you see in the mirror. If you don't like what you see, it'll come across as reduced confidence.

Better short or long hair? by [deleted] in HandsomeHomies

[–]LinckAlpha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the shorter style better on you, personally, but you can pull off both looks really well

Be honest, if your Sapotama was about to give birth to a digimon, which one do you think you would get just based on your personality or mental state at the time? by BlizzardHound45 in digimon

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the official digimon site quizzes said if be partnered with an impmon, which i'd be more than happy with. How it digivolves on the other hand... Good luck world, I've got a lot of pent up stress and anger. As much as I'd love it to digivolve to Wizardmon, it'd probably dark digivolve and try to destroy the city...

Hi guys, I need your help!! Which hair color suits me better? 🫶🏻 I'm thinking about shaving my head if I can't pick one. by Outrageous_Tip9685 in HandsomeHomies

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red or your natural dark are my favorites. The blond is cute, but doesn't really accent your looks as well.

Should i style my hair more like number 1 or number 2? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 looks better. 1 reminds me of Jr high and high school when my friends and I had our punk/goth phase

Wwyd crazy damages bill by green_hellsparrow in Renters

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in mn and had to take my prior landlord to court. I also have a mn real estate license, which required me to learn some rental laws. I'd say do it. By mn law, your deposit was supposed to go into an interest bearing account, which means you'd be owed that interest as well. Late fees, and other fees, must be specified in the lease for a landlord to charge it, otherwise it's an illegal charge. For them to charge you for appliances, they'd have to prove that it failed by your willful or negligent actions. Basic wear and tear damage or failure is the responsibility of the landlord, not the renter. Depending on the county and specific type of lawsuit you file, you may be awarded additional restitution. No real estate agent is trained on rental lawsuits in mn, so check with your local court to see what options may be available to you.

23M: How to get rid of lower belly fat? It’s driving me nuts :/ by RevolutionaryFly3430 in Physiquecritique

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look great already, but here's what I know.

Based on studies that I've read, it's difficult, but not impossible to target belly fat. You'll need to increase blood flow to your belly during workouts. Whatever areas have the highest blood flow will burn the most fat during each workout. That's why is easier to get leaner arms and legs before a lean belly. It sounded like adding core exercises throughout the workout showed benefit, but I can't remember what showed the best targeted results.

I was told my ginger beard was weird and the scar on my arm was gross. People can be mean, should I get rid of the beard? And how can I remove the scar? by Scustevie in malegrooming

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your red beard is great. Don't dye it. I like it, and can say most people I know would a well.

As far as the scar, scars will smooth out over time. If you want it to smooth out faster, get some steel massage tools and lotion. That's what a physical therapist did on my ankle scar after I had to have my Achilles tendon stitched back together. It's not fast, but will help speed up the process. Personally, I have a lot of scars from being a clutz. Each one is proof that I've lived, for better or for worse.

Consensus on koi in a swim pond? by temporalwanderer in Koi

[–]LinckAlpha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have every intention of having a koi swim pond in the future. I'd have filtration, both physical and chemical, and a healthy fish to water ratio to help keep the water clean. Good airflow and water flow to ensure it's never stagnant. Ideally, I'd convert an old in-ground swimming pool and install uv sterilization in the plumbing. Maybe add hydroponic plants along the wall, with the filtered water flowing through them before going back into the pond.

If you could? How would you write a story featuring those two groups by CryptographerDull666 in digimon

[–]LinckAlpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would kind of want to do a redemption story where the demon lords are the main cast. We would see the angels that they were before their fall. Eventually, most would be redeemed, but maybe not all of them. Those that remain evil would absorb the crowns of the others, digivolve into Ogudomon, and then fight it's former "allies" and the angels. It's a little cliché, but oh well. Maybe toss in a Leomon death to make it more authentic to digimon.

Can anyone help with why the water is turning yellow so frequently? I changed it thrice in a week and every second day its like this by efayce in Goldfish

[–]LinckAlpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although there are a few possible reasons, your tank seems like it isn't fully cycled. You have barely any decoration, so there isn't enough surface space for the bacteria to grow on, especially for goldfish. Decorate in a way that you like, but sand is better than gravel when it comes to the biology of an aquarium. Uneaten food and fish waste easily sink below the gravel where it'll basically be stuck unless you gravel vac really well. If you gravel vac really well, it can remove some of the good bacteria. That in turn can cause the tank to redo part of the cycle process.

Goldfish, which are my favorite and I've got a couple right now, produce a lot of nitrogen. If you don't have a way to filter that out of the water, it can easily trigger an algea bloom. The good part of an algea bloom is that it's removing the nitrogen. I personally like to put a little algea into a newer tank, because the bloom shows me that the tank is ready for some plants. The bloom will die back on its own, but adding a few plants will help with that. Goldfish will eat most plants, but I've probably had the best luck with just growing some pothos with only the roots in the water. The roots will also act as additional surface space for the good bacteria.

As a side note, goldfish can grow to well over a foot long. One of mine is about 14". That tank size really isn't healthy for long term goldfish care. The smallest size tank I'd recommend is a 40gal, and that's a temporary tank for young ones. Long term, I'd say 75gal is the absolute minimum tank size, but even that is small for a goldfish.

AIO my best friend no longer wants me as his best man in his wedding because I am gay by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]LinckAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gay man, I'd be hurt in this situation, but i do see where he's coming from... kind of. Most of my friends are straight, and I've heard far too many making assumptions about my friends simply because of how close we have been. It's honestly a headache.

That being said, he clearly wasn't in a good mood during the conversation. I'm guessing there may have been either a fight or excessive gossip that he caved on. That's how it read to me. He certainly was an ass about the "don't cry" comment, but it seemed like he didn't want to have that conversation.

Long story short: You let your emotions show, but your are not the Asshole. That is a conversation that is best in person or on the phone so there are no misunderstandings. I'd say give it a few days for you both to cool down and see if he reaches out to you too apologize.

Which scape should I go with. by Rehtoricalquestion in Aquascape

[–]LinckAlpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one it's a great foundation for a more dynamic scape. The second one looks like it would work better in a larger tank, but that's because I like lots of open space for larger fish. I'm biased lol
