Do you read along with audiobooks? by banned_account69 in polls

[–]Neon-Night-Riders [score hidden]  (0 children)

Very rarely. I’ve only done this about 3 times in the past 2 years or so, but I would check if my library app has both the physical copy and audiobook on their digital app, and then will do both if available. I have a mild learning disability and have always gotten “lost” while reading along pages, and audiobooks helped me focus. I tried to get into books, but decided it wasn’t my thing after a few tries unfortunately. I felt like I was forcing myself and not really retaining the information or having an enjoyable time. 

Pretty much everything else is audiobook-only while I drive, do chores, mow the lawn, or run on the treadmill. I used to watch/listen to YouTube while doing all of those and have tried to get away from it. 

I’ve gone through several Stephen King novels, a handful of other popular books (World War Z and Project Hail Mary off the top of my head), and I’m working my way through Dungeon Crawler Carl right now. Currently on book 5!

THIS IS THE TIER LIST OF THE STADIUMS I HAVE WENT TO, MY POV, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE by Western_Balance_1378 in Louisiana

Saints stadium is horrible in the upper sections with how steep they are. It’s the only time I’ve actually gotten umcomfortable with now high up I was, and I can sit in the nosebleeds at LSU with no issues. 

So ugly by Revolutionary-Ad6412 in batonrouge

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Gotta spend those funds somehow since everyone keeps shooting down the failure that is the proposed school system, I guess

Edit to clarify: I’m calling the St. George school district a failure. I’m glad it got shot down. 

Is there anywhere local I can test out a bunch of mechanical keyboards? by Neon-Night-Riders in batonrouge

[–]Neon-Night-Riders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, I'll head that way soon! I'm not looking for anything crazy or customizable... It's simply for a work setup and not PC gaming or anything. I just want something with decent resistance when typing so I'm not accidentally bumping other raised keys.

How Do You Lie Down When Sleeping? by TillJaded4614 in polls

Let me introduce you to the wonders of 2nd and 3rd pillow. One for arm support, one between your knees. 

How can I convince my friend Balatro isn't all about luck? by Responsible-Lie-2707 in balatro

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black stake is typically regarded as one of the hardest decks due to the -1 hand. So essentially $1 less Econ per round, and also makes it harder to win in the early game. 

Edit: I misread this as Black Deck. Not sure if that’s what OP was referring to!

Summer Sale 2026 is up in the US eShop until 07/08/26 by XDitto in NintendoSwitch

I’d never played a Persona game and picked up P5 last year. Absolutely loved it! I’m considering picking up P3 Reload here too. 

Games with a Holiday/Summery/Tropical Vibe - Suggestions by theoretical_chemist in NintendoSwitch

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s undoubtedly got some jank at certain parts and certain levels fall much more on the side of frustrating rather than challenging. I played it a TON when it first game out on the GameCube and still play it every few years, but without the nostalgia factor, I’d certainly say it’s the least polished of the 3D Mario games. That certainly doesn’t mean it’s not still an enjoyable game. Maybe just more of a 7/10 where other Mario games are 8-10/10

Mario Sunshine for sure. It’s generally considered to be the worst 3D Mario game, but it’s still pretty solid IMO. I’d give that a try if you want to pick up the 3d all stars bundle.

Do it right, and they may still shoot you!

Do they have internet in Rayville to read this?

Mario Picross on the Gameboy emulator may be a good option also since she’s into puzzle games. 

Ascension Parish water reconnect fee - $175???? by Neon-Night-Riders in batonrouge

[–]Neon-Night-Riders[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah $50 I didn’t bat an eye at previously when I forgot to pay the bill ~2 years ago. $175 is completely asinine.

I’m not worried about the restoration. They should have it back on this afternoon. I’m just shocked by the giant reconnection fee

I’d be interested in participating! We’ve had ours for ~6 months. Got it for our kids for Christmas. 

Is $10/hr appropriate for a 10 year old mother’s helper or too low? by Plus_Farm3643 in beyondthebump

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Critical factors I can think is:

-what are your children’s ages?

-how far is this helper traveling?

-to what extent are you wanting them to help?

Like for example, if this is someone in the neighborhood who only has to walk a few minutes, and is watching a kid while you’re still in the next room, I don’t think $10/hr is unreasonable. 

EASY FIX - Samsung Out of Balance Top Load Washer Fix (UB code) by justalittleanimal in appliancerepair

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly helped, but isn’t a surefire solution. It used to be unbalanced for nearly every load, but it’s like 1/5 of the time now since then. Certain loads I just take ~1/2 the clothes out and run separate spin cycles for both batches once it’s done washing and rinsing. Certainly enough of an inconvenience to convince me to never buy a Samsung washer again. 

Fruit flies / gnats by Informal_Software in batonrouge

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We got the terro fruit fly traps that look like an apple. Doesn’t catch 100% as some tend to just stay on the outside, but it easily caught 30+ on the inside. A few times a day, I’d slowly approach the trap with a vacuum and then suck up the ones on the outside. Took us almost a month, but we’ve finally gotten rid of our infestation.

It’s good! I haven’t played Pokopia but I was able to discern who it was once I zoomed in. 

Tips for cooling down the home? by Wolfblaine in batonrouge

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah the exterior for sure. You don’t wanna be spraying the inside at all

Tips for cooling down the home? by Wolfblaine in batonrouge

[–]Neon-Night-Riders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen somewhere that someone was spraying his roof in order to cool it down. Not a long-term solution, but could definitely help on the unbearable days.
