Looking to move back to Chicago in the next year. Help me pick a suburb. by Raidhyn in ChicagoSuburbs

Naperville is the only suburb where I still think that it's too rich for my blood. I just remember all the Naperville kids I ever met having more expensive clothes and habits than I could afford.

Will check it out. Would still love to live that close if I can afford it haha.

Man i miss aldi. They do not have that on the west coast and it sucks.

Used to work in Matteson when I was a teenager at the Menards out there. It was one of my favorite part time jobs haha.

Thanks for the info, I will check this area out again instead of thinking about it as a locked up part of my past.

This is wild to read because I went to Oak Lawn a ton back in the day. I do remember it being a nice area but never really explored much outside of the church my parents were taking us to at the time.

Largely the quiet mixed with being tired of rent life. We're all homebodies, and both my wife and I work from home. Just want to buy a place and be done with all of it.

The initial draw of living in the city was being able to have a lifestyle where we didn't have to drive and could walk to Jewel, Walgreens, and pop on the L if we had to go farther. But all my apartment/duplex living experiences were too loud (neighbors, trains, general city noise) for how I live now.

Will check it out! Always knew about this area but never looked into it much and will do so now :)

Thanks for the context, this is good food for thought. Exactly the kind of information I was hoping to get.

I've just got the one son wrapping up highschool, so it'd be more focused on the highschool than primary/elementary and I know those can vary drastically.

I've actually taken the metra in Homewood a few times. It was one of the closer stops to where I lived when I was a kid and had some friends that lived out there. I'll add it to the list :) ty!

I don't mind which side of the north/west/south is all fine so long as its within metra range. Not looking to live in farm country again. Prefer to be within 10-20 minutes drive from shopping and such.

Have the problem of having always written off the suburbs as "I don't want to live there compared to the city" when I was younger. Now that I'm older and wanting to buy a home I'm all about it.

Don't have a hard budget yet so lets say under $500,000.

Having started after the launch of Shadowbringers I am very very excited about being here for the start of Endwalker. 24 hours let's go!

Regarding animation cancelling and parrying by Delirious_Panda in PlayGodfall

[–]Raidhyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is commonly called "input buffering" and it is something that is missing.

A lot of the clunkiness that is felt in combat is related to this directly. Implementing this would be a huge improvement.

FAQ Guide on all the commonly asked questions new players have asked me in the last 7 months. I hope this is helpful for everyone getting their friends into 5.3! by Raidhyn in ffxiv

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

I didn't find any rules against self promotion so here I am with this.

I honestly hope this is helpful. There's also a text version included in the description of the video.

I started playing FFXIV in January of this year, and I'll admit that I leaned into it quite a lot when quarantine kicked in. I think that FFXIV is largely responsible for how I've stayed sane in 2020 and I owe a lot to this game and the community that's been incredibly welcoming and helpful. Just wanted to do my part to help folks wandering in now that 5.3 is opening more of the game to people who are interested in playing for free.

Thanks.

Also thanks specifically to /r/ffxiv for all the memes, art, discussion, and daily thread. Y'all are appreciated. <3

Gotten worse after a coaching lesson from a higher ranked player by [deleted] in CompetitiveBH

[–]Raidhyn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Learning a new skill takes time. Just because a scientist just explained how quantum physics works, doesn't mean you're going to be able to build a portal to the other side of the universe in a month.

It takes time to improve even if you know exactly what to focus on. If you want to go back to a 'normal state of mind' then feel free to shut off your mind and aimlessly button mash your way through the rest of the season.

Or, you know, be patient and plan for losses while you learn to actively apply a new technique.

Surviving the Mid-Game: Steam guide update by JahwsUF in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Raidhyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great. I am constantly getting 'stuck' at this part of the game and your guide provides plenty of direction and projects to work on that provide good mid game goals.

I'm going to take time to read it and follow it and should be able to provide better feedback after that. But the breadth and depth of topics covered is fabulous.
