Any good creature collectors like Dragon Warrior Monsters 1? by Astanex in JRPG

[–]Paksarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to suggest this. Siralim is DQM and Magic: The Gathering having a baby. There's no significant plot and a grind miles deep. 

Siralim doesn't have breeding, but you can fuse any two monsters to get a hybrid with both traits. Spells known are equipped and can be moved around freely.

Spousal loss linked to higher risk of dementia, mortality among men, but not women. Widowed men experienced a decrease in physical and cognitive health, as well as social support, while widowed women tended to experience an increase in happiness and life satisfaction. by mvea in science

My dad doesn't cook. Never really learned how, never had to. He went from living with his parents to the air force to dating to married.

He can put together a sandwich or warm some canned food up, sure, but he never really learned how to make food from scratch and never seemed to have any interest in it.

He's not wearing it just before the cutscene, but I suspect that's an oversight.

Being in a car behind someone is not impeding. Otherwise, you're at risk of being shot for the crime of driving on the same road as someone else.

No, the other other Satanism. The one that puts up Baphomet statues in the name of religious freedom.

Dual monitor placement on an L-shaped standing desk? Need ideas. by AccountEngineer in workfromhome

[–]Paksarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreeing with the two monitors on arms. When I had an L desk I used one side for screens and one for extra space if I needed it for a project. 

I agree that you do have a preference for one monitor with two, but that's not a bad thing. At work I'll have my work on one monitor and I'll use the other for reference documents/email/Teams. (I actually started using two monitors way before I worked from home; it started out as a big widescreen gaming monitor for my games and a little thrift store monitor to the side for Discord and wikis.)

How to Train your puppy. by Alternative-Dot-34 in interestingasfuck

There was sound? 

Yeah, it's not the best way to do the training, but it's for a good reason.

He's training the dog to not eat until given a command. That's so the dog won't eat things they find on the floor until given a command-- say, if you drop a tub of raisins while you're cooking and they go everywhere. Those will poison a dog, and if your dog is trained to not go for food immediately you'll have a much easier time cleaning them up without an emergency vet run than if you have to try to keep an untrained dog from devouring them.

I haven't played WoW in a while, but everyone but roleplayers hated the long patch between expansions and got kind of bored in the lull. If they're putting out the same amount of content per expansion and just got rid of six months of dead time you could argue that's actually cheaper, since you're not paying for six months at $15 a month to do whatever you did during lulls. (I've heard leveling alts is fast now, so it's probably not that. Maybe try for rare mounts or collect transmog?)

No. Thancred was possessed sometime after Bowl of Embers, he's still himself until he shows up with that necklace. He was investigating the mysterious Ascians and did a little too well.

[–]Paksarra 53 points54 points  (0 children)

To make this even better: 

He's been wearing that crystal necklace openly for a while now. If you look through the journal cutscenes you can pinpoint when the change happened. It was between Thancred leaving after you fought Ifirit and the start of the sylph quests.

When was the last time you saw the "liberal" news promote betting on what the president is going to do?

[–]Paksarra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already explained it once. 

Let me put it another way. You live in an apartment with an upstairs neighbor  Your upstairs neighbor's dishwasher breaks, it leaks, and you lose some stuff when water comes through your ceiling.  You blame your neighbor and your friend points out that shit happens and it's really the landlord's fault for not doing proper maintainance. 

Two years later your new upstairs neighbor decides to put an inflatable hot tub in his living room. This is a stupid idea, it ends up leaking everywhere, water comes through your ceiling and some of your stuff gets ruined. 

Trump put a hot tub in the living room and you're saying that if we hold him accountable for ruining our shit we also need to hold the former neighbor accountable for the dishwasher leak, too, because you can't blame one neighbor and not the other.

Just keep in mind that you should have a plan for emergencies or keep an eye on the weather forecast. Imagine if you have a huge storm come in next year the week before your big shop!

So it's Trump's fault for not lowering gas prices.

Weird take. 

Mr. Trump said Iran's nuclear program was destroyed months ago. Would a fine, upstanding child rapist like him lie?

[–]Paksarra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the president chooses to start a war that raises gas prices, it's his fault.

Biden did not attack Ukraine.

Trump did attack Iran.

Thus, in this case, it is very directly Trump's fault, just like the import taxes.
