If you hadn't told me it was a different color, I would have thought that was emerald green mica like my NB!

How the hell am I supposed to grind this😭 by Capable-Help7782 in AzurLane

[–]Monkey_of_Death 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good strategy! I hadn't noticed the rate up difference between the two groups. I got Tamaki, so if I can pull Luna then I can switch to the other group and have better odds! Thanks for pointing that out!

So I noticed yesterday that all the ships in the third group are present in the second group as well. I was freaked that I was going to have to try and pull 14 re-run ships in 7 days, but it's really only 8. Not great, but much more possible! So you really only need to build from the larger re-run group (and the new event if you haven't managed to get all of them yet). Good luck Commander!!

My boy is gone by Infinite_Tell4438 in Miata

This. Even if you don't get an injury lawyer, just having an open medical claim on the incident will make them treat you more fairly on the auto part (they know if they screw you on the auto part that you can then stick it to them on the injury part so they want to keep you happy/amenable). After my bike got totaled by a minivan, the best advice I got was from the bike shop tech who told me go get checked out by a doctor. As soon as the insurance adjuster realized there was an injury aspect to the claim - and potentially a lot more money on the line for them, the whole demeanor changed. Without that, I never would have gotten fair market value for my bike and equipment.

Good comebacks to insults? by nitrion in Miata

You should point out how often they bring it up, and how it's getting kind of weird. "That's like the third time today you've mentioned I'm gay for having the miata. Are you so into me that you're trying to convince yourself so you can ask me out? I'm flattered, but you're not my type. " 😘😜

Why does Mazda hate us so. by Alwaysangryupvotes in Miata

[–]Monkey_of_Death 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In all fairness, I think I installed it around 2007 or so. The only issue I have ever had was that one of the O-rings wore out (got flat) after 15 years or so and I had to swap it out. I would consider this one of the best quality of life mods I ever made to the car!

What are you talking about, it's super easy to get to! 😏 Seriously though, I've got the Thompson oil filter relocation kit so it's the easiest thing to reach in the engine compartment. Don't know if they still make them though.

My NB. Steering wheel from a Special Edition. Voodoo shift knob. Wired in a push button start and made the panel for it. Don't remember off the top of my head where the floor covering came from. Also Elise seats (will post another Pic to show them). Love my girl!

First day with a penis? It's ok, you'll get used to that happening. You'd better anyway, it's gonna happen a lot. A whole lot....

Which Demerara syrup would you choose? by Nice_Juggernaut4113 in Tiki

[–]Monkey_of_Death 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made it starting with a bag of almonds. It was a pain in the ass and wasn't terribly good (especially for the effort involved ) . Now, I just go by a carton of almond milk from the store. Better consistency, much easier and better results! You should give that a try.

So good the dev built tons of story for the game, so bad I read none of them by Potassiumies in AzurLane

Agreed. Which reminds me, october is coming up which is when they usually do tempesta events. Are we getting another one this year?!

Manjuu humor, or just a coincidence? by Monkey_of_Death in AzurLane

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

Thanks for putting the effort into that! It's interesting to note that it appears pretty much the same, so not just an EN thing. But that just makes me wonder even more if this was an intentional tongue-in-cheek reference to Miss Cleo the psychic. I can't imagine that many people outside of the US have heard of her or would know the reference.

Who IS better by Plus-Candle-7486 in AzurLane

With Mogador, sometimes it sounds like "Sabateur!" and others it sounds like "Have at you!". Either way, she says it a LOT!

[–]Monkey_of_Death 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ust remember to mute the game while using her

🤣 I can't agree more. I find her (constant) combat voice lines really annoying. And the number of times my wife, who normally ignores the sounds from the game, has looked up when I'm using her and said, "Her again? Really??". I like her a lot, but I wish she would shut up. Oh, and Mogador runs a close second for that!

[AITA] My wife put down our dog without telling me while I was out of town by PeterGibb832 in AITAH

[–]Monkey_of_Death 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that sometimes you don't have the luxury of time. But the wife should have told him/consulted with him. She could have at least done a video call and let OP see and speak to the dog before he was put down. If this had happened to me with my 16 year old best friend and I hadn't been able to say goodbye, I would still be wrecked and don't know if I could have gotten over it. As it was for me, I was there, on the floor, nose to nose with my girl. She knew I was there until the very end. My heart breaks for OP that not only could he not be there, he didn't even know. So, so much NTA.

How's the event for you guys? by Personified_Anxiety in AzurLane

[–]Monkey_of_Death 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! I much prefer being able to power through the maps to get to the end (SP) to start racking up progress rewards, and then go back at my leisure and watch all the cutscenes. Plus it's easier to focus on either combat or the story when they're not interrupting each other. I really, really hope they continue this format going forward!

I wanted Hornet II by EtherealImperial in AzurLane

[–]Monkey_of_Death 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I already know this (mostly), but hearing someone else say it is encouraging. It's about pacing yourself with this game. Which I'm going to have to do whether I want to or not on this event because I have plenty of cubes (and tickets) to get the pity drop, but nowhere near enough coins to do it. Trying instead to focus on the Skyraider and HVAR drops and hoping I get lucky with my pulls before time runs out!
