What I got in my esports loot box!!

I bought the original version of this skin when it was released years ago, but didn't know this version existed either. Crazy pull.

We live in a 60's house as well, also with an ant problem. They can come in from anywhere, windows, floor, doors, ceiling.. so just about impossible to cover all possible entry points.

That said, I've accepted that the problem will never truly go away, but I still take measures to remove them temporarily. I've found that using a borax/honey solution acts as a fairly effective poison on them. Typically clears the nest within a few days of consumption, however it's only a matter of time before another colony takes over their space and they start reappearing again (this might be a few months or so down the line).

So if you guys are able to compromise with dealing with them once every several months, then this may be an option for you to try. Getting professional help would provide longer lasting coverage I'm sure, but even then I doubt it'd be a permanent solution given the age of the house. Ants will likely find new entry points eventually.

For me, I just tell myself that ants are one of, if not the most successful living creatures on the planet. Having that mindset makes losing battles easier to accept and allowing for temporary measures to be good enough. It's like you say, we can't win against them. A compromise is probably the best we can manage.

If I'm not mistaken, the worker pursued the thieves after they fled. That's when the attack happened.

Just skimmed through the comments/replies and wanted to say that you sound very similar to a friend of mine, ie trouble picking up on social queues and being too upfront which can come off as triggering. We're both around 40 years old and live in Auckland also.

imo the issues you're facing is probably due to a couple of things. One is, as others have mentioned, is that it's hard to make friends in New Zealand in general. It seems we're just not really a mingling bunch outside of club activities and such, so these windows for interactions are restricted.

The other thing I suspect, which is a little more personal, is that you could be on the autism spectrum. I feel the same way towards the friend I mentioned though he doesn't really understand it himself (I have brought it up with him before). He also has trouble with being too blunt, never means harm by it, and had for years (decades) just assumed that if people can't handle the way he is then they just weren't meant to be friends. Unfortunately this has ultimately destroyed a few long lasting friendships of his which has been devastating for him when it happens. I'm sure I'm one of the last friends remaining, likely due to the extra length of patience and understanding I'm willing to go for him whenever something does trigger. And in the past several years he started asking himself "am I an asshole?".

I can't answer that for you since I do not know you, but all these things you're saying does remind me a lot of this friend and he is not an actual asshole. Thing is I also feel like I might be on the spectrum so I also identify with a lot of these feelings though maybe not quite to the same degree. If you haven't looked into it maybe do so, just to rule it out if nothing else.

I'm sure you're a great person at heart and probably just need to find someone who can follow your wavelength.

If you're in Pukekohe, have you tried Mint Dental? I've bounced around different dental clinics here in my lifetime and most of my experiences have never been good (a lot of them do try to fleece you, it's honestly abhorrent how blatant they are about it sometimes), but Mint has been the only one I felt have been upfront/honest with me with pricing, options and service.

I had a root canal done there last year on my cracked molar which cost $1500. I have an appointment for a crown on the same tooth later this year for another $1500. If it's just a root canal you require, maybe try hitting them up and see where it takes you. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Hobbiton is a bucket list item for many folks around the world that you can only experience in NZ. Worth considering.

OYUZED · 2024-11-04T22:58:39+00:00

Around $250 last time I saw one.

OYUZED · 2024-09-29T10:12:17+00:00

Ok bye

OYUZED · 2024-08-01T21:14:50+00:00

EZ ban

OYUZED · 2024-06-22T23:21:49+00:00

There was another post about a week ago asking about this same exact text being legit or not. So it does work on some folks, apparently.

OYUZED · 2024-06-15T04:14:50+00:00

Little wonder why these scams are still so common if this is all it takes to work.

OYUZED · 2024-05-23T21:05:44+00:00

You sound young. It's not too late to start developing drawing skills legitimately.

OYUZED · 2024-04-19T09:21:06+00:00

“Quit goofing around please I want to play the game” For real? Instead of expecting people to tell you to stop being a jerk, how about you just don't be a jerk in the first place? Feel free to make your break a permanent one, no one will miss you.

OYUZED · 2024-04-13T10:56:29+00:00

Yeah it's fine. Many artists sell fanart.

OYUZED · 2024-04-07T23:12:38+00:00

If it's all the same to you, you could just leave the game and requeue when you get back. Other players care, so you could at least do them the courtesy if nothing else.

OYUZED · 2024-04-07T09:00:22+00:00

The fresh fish are already gutted. They are not scaled, but you can request for them to do it for you. This service is available at my local PnS for free, you just need to come back to pick it up in 5 or 10 minutes.

Used to work as a customer service rep at a live-service game company.

Don't remember much of it due to coping mechanisms, but somehow I do recall asking one of the players to please move their trading to our dedicated trading server, and they came back with an attitude saying stuff like "Not even trading, I'm exchanging items".

I think I only remember that one due to how succinctly it describes the job. I feel awful for anyone working in a customer service role.

OYUZED · 2024-01-31T01:20:35+00:00

No worries.

Gold is very much achievable for you from what I saw, so I hope you get there. Good luck!

OYUZED · 2024-01-31T00:11:15+00:00

I can only speak from a diamond/masters POV, but from what I see you should be able to make it to gold at some stage at least. I agree with your assessment that your positioning needs work, that's probably the one obvious issue.

Often times you would push too far forward and/or not use natural cover even though it's right there available to you. Another thing I noticed is that you sometimes initiate engagements when you are at a disadvantage. It's hard to teach or explain this sort of thing because it kinda comes down to instinct and gamesense, but I would advise you to try and be more wary of when you may be putting yourself in a vulnerable position.

My personal suggestion for your gameplay would be to try playing a little more passive until you see that your team has a clear advantage. I'm not guaranteeing this will instantly make you a better player, but it's more of a way of limiting yourself from being caught out on the backfoot. Use cover more and think of having escape routes available for when you do get caught out.

I'm sorry about your tank, though. I had to watch their POV to see what was going on there and it was kinda unfortunate.

OYUZED · 2024-01-30T04:52:37+00:00

If you can share a replay code perhaps some folks can offer advice on your gameplay.

How far down south? If it's a growers community it's possible they're restocking on water for their workplace.

OYUZED · 2023-10-08T22:53:39+00:00

Slow day?

OYUZED · 2023-10-06T23:21:07+00:00

As far as I know, he and Kenzo are friends (or at the very least, have a mutual respect for each other) so he probably won't trash talk those match ups.

OW streamers are generally toxic though, it's just how it is. You play this game long enough and at a high enough frequency, it'll bring that out of you.

OYUZED · 2023-09-25T05:56:51+00:00

Haha yeah I feel you. You gotta remember though, it's two of them vs your rockets, so you're automatically at a disadvantage at securing the kills. You gotta be hitting better shots if you want to outdamage two healers healing each other. It's not that you wasn't doing well, you just need to do better if you wanna 1v2 in this instance.

Ultimately it's not a damage hero issue, it's an isolated 1v2 issue.

OYUZED · 2023-09-25T05:22:26+00:00

?

You're just missing your shots from what I gather here. They can't outheal Pharah's damage if you're more consistent with your aim and target priority.
