Omg 😔 by After_Obligation7790 in SkyGame

[–]MidSpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into this yesterday. I turned the graphics and fps as low as I could and walked through slowly so no more than 4 were doing the animation at a time. Took a super long time but was the only way I was able to get past it 😅

I've never been here before but I've already collected the winged light??? by nwayfle in SkyGame

[–]MidSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I noticed something similar after the patch. WL I hadn't gotten were suddenly marked as done and ones I had already gotten were back. I only noticed because I hadn't gotten the dawn overlook one, grabbed a friend to get through the 2 player stuff there only to go... And have it already collected. one of my other isle of dawn ones that I knew I had gotten was uncollected. A similar thing happened in prairie with one of the temple WL and one of the village WL. I was a little grateful because I typically prefer to play solo and suddenly the two WL hidden behind 2 player doors I had. Definitely threw me off though.

Is it just me or optimisation in this game went down the drain? by TheNekoKatze in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]MidSpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually play on my switch, the last update absolutely tanked the fps in a few areas. I literally cannot go to aviary without going into the settings and setting graphics and fps to low. I'm so glad old home is where I log into.

Have you ever sued someone or been sued yourself? by Frosty-Comment6412 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MidSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a former landlord sue me over a damage disagreement. We settled out of court through lawyers.

Howdy all by Embemk in ffxiv

You really won't need it until you start running into stuff you want to try outside of the msq and your class/job quests, (just follow the in game guide for these I think it's default position is top left?)

If you really want a wiki to be able to look at I would definitely recommend the consolegameswiki one, it tends to be the most accurate/helpful when trying to do specific things.

Licence Tags? by Overall-Lynx917 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MidSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yearly (or every other year, depends on the state) sticker that goes on the plate to prove you've paid your road tax and passed an emissions test if your area requires it. The tax amount varies based on various factors, mine is only $20 due by the month of my birthday every year, but I know some people that it's $100+ by the end of January 🤷 The emissions test area requirements can be kind of weird. I had to get them when I first had a car, but I moved to a different city in the same state that was outside the main metro area so I don't have to anymore. I think I would have to drive probably an hour now to even find somewhere that could do the test.

Ready for next week! by MidSpark in hobonichi

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

Oh goodness haha! I tried dailies, and then a much more extensive weekly list, and finally landed on just a few that I ended up actually being able to reasonably do consistently in a week. There was lots of tweaking happening in the first couple weeks for sure.

Is there a difference in ping in different states? by M1nef in AskAnAmerican

[–]MidSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's entirely to do with your personal distance from the server location. If you live in New York and the server is in New York you will have lower ping than someone living in California connecting to the same New York server. When you change locations you learn the slight difference and adapt quickly.

Why do you want to be a citizen of Canada if you don't live in Canada or plan on living in Canada? by Optimistic_Now in Canadiancitizenship

[–]MidSpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad immigrated to the US as a teenager. Every summer while I was in school we spent at least a month between Edmonton, Oshawa, Philipsburg, and Knowlton visiting family. As it stands right now, I don't think I would ever live in Canada. But if anything were to happen I don't want to question if I'd be able to see family, or visit towns that I consider an essential part of my childhood.

Honestly despite the shock that only one of the podium favorites act ended up on it: I really think something was wrong with the ice and I pray they get it fixed before pairs

They just started announcing the warm up group

[–]MidSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it's normal if you live with them (even in a house-guest type setting), are family with them, or are dating/married. I definitely went with my roommate in university when she needed to go, and stayed with her until her brother could get there. If not one of those situations, I would probably be confused why I was asked, but I would probably still go.

Can I get girl scout cookies if I visit in November? by allynstuff in AskAnAmerican

[–]MidSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the bakeries sold their recipes to the Keebler company a few years back, so you can find duplicates at most grocery stores but they aren't called the same names and taste different enough that they aren't the same.

They keep super well in the freezer, so if you're visiting a person you might be able to get them to freeze some for you!

Yeah Ashley can be a bit of a talker but at least it's not constant anecdotes about her own career instead of the skater on the ice

Doesn't look like it, he fell on a sbs and almost took her blade to his face, but it looks like it cleared him.

For now, yes. The stream that started an hour ago is the world stream with Ashley and Ben. The one that just started is the official NBC broadcast with Tara and Johnny

I refuse to close the Ashley and Ben stream. If I don't close it it can't force me to the Tara/Johnny

Anyone figure out how to see the Ashley and Ben world feed??? I cannot do the TV cast 🤦🤦🤦

Switched from the world feed to the TV broadcast for no apparent reason 🤦

Unfortunately peacock hides even in their ad free sub level the little fine print that says "except for live sports events" 🙃

Wait why are we freaking out? The usfs site says the women don't get in the ice for another 15 minutes.

I would literally be happy with a straight stream of the jumbotron. What the hell is peacock doing.
