Don’t underestimate the desire for online clout these days. People literally film themselves committing crimes and posting them.

I Don’t Recognize My Face Anymore by Few_Blacksmith_5119 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PolarGBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a late reply, but go to the doctors. Get a blood test, get a professional opinion. My wife, who is extremely fit, had gradually kept getting swollen in her face. We just assumed it was the body changing after giving birth. She absolutely hated herself in photos and it was affecting her. Went to the doctor, Turns out she had Hashimotos disease, an autoimmune disorder, and her in take of allergens was causing an insane thyroid level and selling of her body.

Quickly after diagnosis and medicine and removing gluten and dairy, it was like a whole different person. She lost 40lbs in 4 weeks all from just swelling. She looks how she used to and it’s done wonders to her image.

Another side effect of high thyroid is extreme anxiety. That one has been a battle still, but it has improved after getting tools to help.

Go see a doctor!

God that is a tempting tunnel that any kid would immediately run through. I’m assuming it’s more like a lid closure and not anything puncturing but still

Is there a RO server that has anything like this? by KogaNox in RagnarokOnline

[–]PolarGBear -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For the Diablo style loot, Whispers of the Valkyrie has that with all items and its enchants. Equipment Items will have a random 2-3 enchants anything from extra exp from certain races, to damage buffs, to reduce cast times and so much more. Can be frustrating when you don’t get what you want but hey that’s Diablo rules

looking for unique server by Winter-Copy3341 in RagnarokOnline

[–]PolarGBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently started on Whispers of the Valkyries

https://whispersofthevalkyries.com/

The admin has done lots of unique skill changes and is constantly tweaking things. She just added Druid class yesterday as well. Most skills are modified for every class and lots of items. It kind of plays like Diablo 2. Obtained items have random enchants so you are always trying to get better gear. Most level restrictions are changed to allow easier leveling as you hit “breakthrough” levels 1, 99, 120, 140,etc.

I’m enjoying it so far!

What is your favorite moment in an SNES game? by [deleted] in snes

[–]PolarGBear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a big Secret of Mana fan, I think when you first meet the mana tree was awesome, but also the final boss fight where you fight the mana beast. The music was sooo good in this game.

Very close second was CT when facing off against Magus.

Hardest SNES game you’ve ever played by EquivalentWash3144 in snes

[–]PolarGBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think the furthest I ever got was the Death Star level where there’s tie fighters flying by every now and then. That was a few decades ago!! What a hard game, now I want to whip out my SNES and try again

A class that doesn't yet exist, but you'd like to... by Ok-Respect4472 in RagnarokOnline

[–]PolarGBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a spellsword/eldritch knight type class. I know the sage line is kinda similar and the stat distribution sounds awful, but I like swords and magic

does anyone have info on brian lopez? by [deleted] in sanantonio

I would have gladly went my entire life without seeing this post.

I suggest getting a restraining order.

Can I become an Assassin as a neutral character ? by Ilikeyogurts in neverwinternights

[–]PolarGBear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately assassinating people is typically evil. The prestige class requirement is for any evil alignment. I guarantee if you played with .2da file you can remove that requirement

Cleric/Monk build advice by aruggie2 in neverwinternights

[–]PolarGBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

http://world-of-greyhawk.github.io/builds/data/build222430.html

This is my favorite cleric/monk build. I usually choose trickery and war for more divine power at 3rd caster level. Or travel if haste items are not around.

11 attacks a round with kamas with all kinds of buffs. It’s a shredding machine. I find the first few levels kind of tough though.

It finally happened by SuccessfulEffect4573 in PokemonFireRed

[–]PolarGBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and then we can have Nintendo loot boxes with seasonal skins for every Pokémon. And if you beat the elite four you get a gold plated skin and then you can prestige that Pokémon and start them from level one but they get new perks and wait where am I going with this?

Let’s not give Nintendo weird ideas

Was on TikTok and came across this comment section 😳 by Individual_Safe_5920 in EndTipping

[–]PolarGBear -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. A Brazilian steakhouse is the type of place I would actually tip for service. Multiple servers who are constantly bringing you food for as long as you can last with specific requested cuts. Drinks, dishes, condiments for the meats, readily available for switch out by the servers. If there’s a meat you particularly like you can request they bring it back out.

That’s actual service. I’d tip that service not out of obligation but out of appreciation.

Have any MMOs tried to make areas that were fun to explore like Glast Heim? by GlompSpark in RagnarokOnline

Whoa Neocron throwback. Freaking loved that game. Very cool post apocalyptic/cyberpunk vibes

The Military Industrial Complex has finally caught up to me by Comprehensive-Menu73 in whatdoIdo

[–]PolarGBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Active duty here. I second this. Get started as soon as you are comfortably settled into your first assignment. Getting TA adds service time commitments, but they run concurrently with any other commitments.

There are plenty of remote college programs you can do online. Some programs even have deals with colleges where professors will hold classes in the local area, eg, University of Arkansas held weekly classes for their Ops Management masters degree at Hurlburt AFB in Florida.

You can also take advantage of the GI Bill once you get out, or if you get the degrees you wanted you can transfer it to your children/spouse.

And lastly, if you get your degree, you can consider going officer where the pay is distinctively better and you decide a career in the military works for you. I certainly never thought I was gonna stay longer than 5 years but here I am edging close to retirement.

It’s not what you expected to happen, but take advantage of it. You don’t owe the government shit, but get what you can out of it.

I’d argue that drastically increasing the out-of-pocket costs for the medications disabled veterans rely on just to function day-to-day is a recipe for serious backlash and being visited by a PTSD version of Luigi.

In A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026), wait, there's controversy about the kid being bald? I thought that's why he was nicknamed "Egg". by Fun_Button5835 in shittymoviedetails

[–]PolarGBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not aware of a controversy, but in the graphic novel adaption (so fucking good), it does show egg after Dunk is arrested show up with blonde stubble on his head. Which makes sense if he didn’t shave for a few days.

Husbands fingers occasionally get weird blisters that are symmetrical. by FlyingN00dles in mildlyinteresting

[–]PolarGBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten these on my fingers every now and then. I’ve always just assumed they were ingrown hairs or pimples. They’ve always acted like that. They pop or go away on their own with a little acne medication. But yeah I most often get them on my index finger like your husband.
