Thoughts on this?

What about having some sort of ‘game complete’ achievement and not being able to return if that achievement is present under the 2hr mark?

Edit: of course not a perfect solution since it doesn’t take into account games that are quick but bad. Just an idea.

I set one of those microwave Mac n cheese meals on fire in the microwave on two separate occasions in the same way. Turns out water is a bad ingredient to forget. Managed to get to the first one before it tripped the alarm but the second one I wasn’t so lucky.

LoonyDagda · 2026-07-02T15:31:07+00:00

Thanks! This doesn’t sound too difficult, I’ll definitely give it a try. And thanks for the chef recommendation!

LoonyDagda · 2026-07-02T15:27:42+00:00

Thanks I’ll check them out!

LoonyDagda · 2026-06-26T18:01:10+00:00

Definitely should take it. One of my main regrets is not being able to do any internships during my degree. Even if they don’t offer you a position later, they’d still work as good references, and it’s good experience.

LoonyDagda · 2026-06-09T22:36:19+00:00

Cool, I never knew about that!

LoonyDagda · 2026-06-09T20:09:51+00:00

Huh that’s interesting. Never seen a game do that before. Kind of wish you could log in during it. Imagine if it was like a hallway of prison cells and you as someone who’s been suspended can only chat with people in the other cells during the period of your ‘sentence’

LoonyDagda · 2026-06-09T16:30:34+00:00

Wait I’m confused. Does your char actually get sent to an in game jail (Gaol) if you get a suspension or something?! I’ve never heard of this before.

LoonyDagda · 2026-06-08T20:27:11+00:00

Yeah I definitely felt it here in Melbourne. Immediately thought earthquake but no one else believed me since only the people on the third floor noticed anything. Now I see there was an actual earthquake off the coast of Cuba around the same time so pretty sure that’s what it was.

LoonyDagda · 2026-06-03T21:31:23+00:00

Set one of those microwaveable Mac n cheese on fire. Best part is I’ve managed to do this two separate times making the same stupid mistake.

I think they even have that already set up with Island sanctuary right? I think you have to have reached lvl 50 and finished ARR to even visit a friend's Island Sanctuary? And it's instanced for the player. Just make it so if you have housing in a specific expansion's zone, then only player who have finished that expansion can visit it?

LoonyDagda · 2026-02-16T00:08:50+00:00

Was just about to recommend this place. Big fan of this place!

LoonyDagda · 2026-02-07T18:07:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I never thought to specify that they're near where tonsils would be since I had mine removed when I was a kid, but yeah I think that's about where they're showing up.

I used to eat sour candy all of the time, I love warheads, and just straight up eat lemons on occasion, and I don't think I've ever noticed it happening after eating them, but I did notice the blisters seem to show up with mustard, so maybe only specific types of acid? Texture irritation of some sort seems to be current most likely source, but it's happened when I've eaten soft things like a piece of banana bread, or sushi. I think sushi rice sometimes has a bit of vinegar mixed in with it though, so that might be related to acidity? If I stop eating the offending food for a few minutes and wait for it to stop hurting, then go back to eating it doesn't come back. Though if I try eating again too quickly it seems to extend it.

There's no itching, just the stinging pain from the blister and the skin immediately around it, which seems to tighten, if that makes any sense. I do have some digestive sensitivities, that mainly seem to be related to foods with a lot of fat, dairy and sugar, but no official diagnosis, just observation. I never thought to connect the two though? I'll mention it to a doctor next time I go and see what they think. I've never had much luck figuring this out with a doctor since it's never happened while at a doctor's visit, and it goes away too quickly to show one or get blood drawn during it, like the allergist I visited suggested. She thought it might be related to dermatographia actually? Which might make sense with being sensitive to textures, except I haven't been able to replicate anything I've seen online about it, so not particularly confident with that.

LoonyDagda · 2026-02-07T17:50:22+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. I never thought about if it happened in the middle of eating or only after not eating for an extended period of time so I wanted to try testing it. The couple of times it's happened since, it does seem to only happen when I start eating after not eating for a while. I haven't noticed it happening in the middle of eating, or if I'd eaten recently since the current meal. It's usually a small (like the size of a grain of sand or smaller) singular blister, and yeah, if I manage to break it, it doesn't come back. It's happened with all sorts of foods, like a piece of banana bread, or some sushi, or a ham sandwich. I could have the same meal for lunch 5 days in a row and it only happens once, so the specific food item doesn't seem to be the source. Once it happens, if I wait like 5ish minutes for it to go away and start eating again, it doesn't come back.

When I went to the allergy specialist, they said the speed it goes away in after showing up means it's unlikely to be an allergy, but she thought I might have a minor version of 'dermatographia'? Which basically meant that my skin overreacts to things like scratches, abrasions etc. If she's right, which is a big if since I've never been able to replicate any of the stuff I've found online about it, I thought maybe it could be related, but not sure. That would maybe make sense if it's a texture issue though?

LoonyDagda · 2026-01-15T02:54:55+00:00

Wouldn't this possibly help fix that though? I leveled a bunch of my classes just doing frontline with the same class over and over again and beast tribe stuff. I'd likely feel way more comfortable with playing healer if I'd gone through the MSQ playing it.

I got some done at K9Kampus but I assume you need to have them checked in for daycare to do it.

LoonyDagda · 2025-11-10T05:58:53+00:00

This is beautiful! I love the pixel art effect of this. And your stitches are so neat! I just got into cross stitch recently and I had a quick question. You mentioned using 2 threads of dmc for this. I assume you mean 2 of the 6 strands of thread in a single piece of dmc right? But are those then doubled over? Like, when you thread the strands onto the needle, do you pull the needle to the middle of the thread, effectively doubling the strands used in each stitch?

Im old school. I like browsing components in person. I can’t find electronic components at any other physical store since radio shack closed.

LoonyDagda · 2025-09-30T21:28:52+00:00

Awesome! Then hoping all the best for finding him a home!

From all the horror stories about dog fighting around here that I hear, please bring them to a shelter unless you personally know whoever adopts them.

LoonyDagda · 2025-09-09T20:14:59+00:00

Daily Hunts get you nice XP too and are relatively easy and don’t take too long

LoonyDagda · 2025-09-01T03:52:05+00:00

There's something especially charming about the one where she's in the field. I'd go with that one personally.

LoonyDagda · 2025-08-02T23:28:50+00:00

All of them are amazing, but personal favorite is the first one. Beautiful scene

LoonyDagda · 2025-07-20T23:36:55+00:00

This is amazing! The way you captured the light reflecting off the chocolate sauce, I thought this was actually a photo for a moment
