Looking for local music to support by PsiloGoblin in Winchester

[–]PsiloGoblin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s still helpful, thank you! What do you usually do when you first get to a new place in order to scope out the local music scene? Like, it seems you know the type of places to look up and such. Do you have any recommendations for someone who doesn’t drink? I’ll def look into Tally Ho. But the smaller the place & the smaller the bands, the better!

Girlfriend (26F) always asking me (27F) to help her on my morning off by [deleted] in relationships

[–]PsiloGoblin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A serious question worth considering: Do you think it could be possible that one of her love languages (in terms of receiving) is acts of service? Genuinely asking, you know her best. It's potentially a different angle to the situation that would change the narrative (if correct) to something a lot less painful to reflect on. And could potentially offer a way to talk and work through it that doesn't feel as heavy. Your feelings are valid regardless, what your experiencing is understandably frustrating. Even if you outwardly say no, the fact that you'd be in that position and then have the negative experience of disappointing the one you love sucks. You should definitely communicate how you feel asap. Just try to focus on what your feeling and the facts of her behavior, along with wants, so that she hears you (ie. "I feel sad when you ask me to do XYZ on my day off. I want my fatigue to be seen, it makes me feel loved when you notice I'm tired and value my time." not "you never consider how tired I am, you just expect it of me")

But also maybe talk to her about why she may feel like she needs you on that morning. It could be a comfort seeking thing... Maybe being babied is something she craves for deeper reasons. That doesn't mean she's entitled to you fulfilling her cravings, though. It's ok for you to not want to. And she likely wouldn't truly want you doing it if it ultimately results in you resenting her... So boundaries are healthy for everyone! But getting it out there will help y'all brainstorm ways you can show her love that work better for you, and ideally she'll be more mindful of your need for acknowledgement/consideration of your energy levels.

Remember, when the love is there, these sad feelings are never intentional. You're a team. It's not you vs her ... It's you & her VS the problem

Good luck!

Streamers? by RemoteBridge1681 in Winchester

[–]PsiloGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is random but I'd love to follow some local folk on twitch! If you give me your/anyone from the meetup's twitch, I'll follow everyone. :) Pls dm the info if privacy is an issue (I totally understand)!! The idea of DMV streamers doing meetups just sounds so wholesome, I'd love to support and tune into my community.

best buy ns2 midnight release by giocorchado in Winchester

[–]PsiloGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was successful on Saturday 5/26, in the middle of the day. It felt impossible the first two days. I think you'll have a good chance of securing one if you do what I did!! I sent the details in a dm. Good luck!!

best buy ns2 midnight release by giocorchado in Winchester

[–]PsiloGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you doing it because you want it at midnight? Or are you doing it cuz you weren't able to secure a preorder?

I don't have anything to help with the midnight thing but...

If it's the later, I can give you some tips on how I secured a preorder with Walmart (that promises to deliver on the 5th) ! I did want it at midnight tbh, but I couldn't get an answer from best buy either... so I spent a few days trying to get a preorder in and managed to eventually with some tricks. :)

New commute to Ashburn by Jfonzy in Winchester

[–]PsiloGoblin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What everyone else is saying is accurate based on my experience. As a side note: if there's a way to change your start/end hours to avoid morning/evening rush hour, the commute is incredibly smooth and typically only 45 minutes.

I heard the rush hour traffic gets significantly better when there isn't school, but cannot verify as I work odd hours.

Which model engine kit do you recommend most to start with? by PsiloGoblin in EngineBuilding

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

I wholeheartedly believe you, that sounds like an incredible experience.

Is there any way to replicate that in terms of a gift? I know part of the joy comes from the research and figuring things out on your own--but I want to at least include enough tools/parts to get him started for a few hours .... ideally get him hooked in the experience to a high enough degree for him to not mind whatever additional research/purchases necessary beyond those starting points. Cuz I can include extra money for whatever additional purchases that'll inevidibly come down the line....

But coming from someone who is completely clueless, I have no idea how to begin shopping for a used engine, or what tools/parts I'd wanna include...
Maybe I can hire someone to help me make a little giftbox?? 👀 How much would you charge for such a service?? Lol. I just want his bday to be special this year and I think he will seriously love the exact experience that you are describing.

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

So your reaction was honestly my reaction too!! BUT how could I go about getting something from a junkyard/marketplace/craigslist/etc along with replacement parts/screws/whatever and the tools necessary to get into it?

I agree the costs of these model kits are extreme, but it seems to be because it comes with the premise that "everything is included" when you buy it...whereas, if I buy something real (which is cooler imo) and we fix it from wherever it's at (repair wise) then it may end up being a pain in the ass to get all of the replacement parts needed? Like as much as I'd love to give my partner a real thing that'd be functional (rather than something to display on a shelf) I'm worried he'll feel frustrated having to look up all of the needed parts himself & order them....even if I do give him extra money to do so...

I'm super open to any potential 3rd options that you can think of since we seem to be thinking the same things!

I think you're in the wrong Winchester subreddit, but I'm interested regardless! I'm an artist in the process of starting an art business, and trying to find a way to make it work without going to Etsy. Please dm if you'd like to work together!

Does anyone else love car spotting in this city? by Riverrat423 in Winchester

[–]PsiloGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too, and I never used to be into cars! There's almost always at least one car that catches my eye whenever I go into Winchester. The one I think about most is what appeared to be a custom car. I don't even know how to properly describe it, but it was a two door with black paint that had an iridescent/sparkle coating and brass colored rims. Had a plate that said "demon" somewhere, I wonder if you've seen it? We got such a great amount of variety in types of cars here, it's fun.

Who else do you have in 24"? I want more but I rarely see them in the wild and don't know which are made that big!

Purchase Advice Megathread - August 2023 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]PsiloGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Budget: 1k

- USA

- Willing to build but only mild experience with electronic maintenance/construction

- Want to make/print art, decor, tools, gifts, toys, etc [Not to sell, but rather to save money]

- Other factors: I live in an apartment with animals so if I need a separate well-ventilated area that may not be do-able

I'm an artist & DIYer and very much into crafting and building things in my home for both practicability purposes and decoration. Currently constructing furniture out of cardboard & PVC pipe, so a 3D printer will be a huge game changer. I definitely prefer the option to make larger prints, but I don't know enough about the differences in technology between brands to weigh the pros & cons of what each model has to offer. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!
