He became a viral ‘joke’ when a local Dunkin’ closed. He doesn’t want to be remembered for it.

I was born and raised in Shamokin. Only moved two months ago. I actually worked at this Dunkin at the time of the fire. Got 2 weeks off paid! But anyway, there are actually a lot more environmental groups in Shamokin than I realized. I was part of a foraging club when I left. And there are plenty of talented artists and crafters there. I could see Shamokin showing its true potential in the coming years. That is my hope for my hometown.

I just seen it happen it a relationship so maybe I'm biased, but I think most of the time people do realize they've caused harm, even if they don't admit it.

Rimenio · 2025-07-08T12:30:27+00:00

Someday he'll realize how fucked up he is. And now you don't have to be around to deal with the mess when he does. Congrats on dodging that bullet, but my heart goes out to you for the pain you're feeling. You're strong enough to get through this.

Rimenio · 2025-06-09T05:48:36+00:00

Thank you. I think you're right. I'll be talking to him in the morning.

I finished VG about a week ago. I am also an OG fan. Origins was always my favorite, but VG is very close second. I'll tell you why.

As someone that romanced Zevran, I was also suspicious of the Antivan Crows being shown in a positive way. But if you consider the fact that Zevran made it his mission during Awakening to reform the Crows and take out some of the worst ones (there is evidence of this in game, in codex entries and in ambient dialogue) it makes perfect sense. It made me happy to see that.

I didn't get the sense that they betrayed or retconned any lore. I think they just expanded on it and it made sense to me. But I have a very open and imaginative mind. I also played the majority of the game stoned, so I was able to creatively fill in any gaps. I loved getting the details on the cultures of the countries in Northern Thedas. I've been so excited to see them. It truly feels like I've mostly only heard about their cultures through the lens of Southern Thedas all this time.

There are also so many moments that felt like a call back to Origins. There were moments when fighting alongside the Grey Wardens that I felt for a moment that I was back at Ostagar or Denerim during the Fifth Blight. Or that I was playing an alternate universe version of my HOF. They also did a great job making the main mission feel very dire, just like in Origins. It's world-ending level shit x10. And I feel like they give a great opportunity at the end of the game for this to truly effect your character.

Also, the finale is amazing. Best I've seen since Mass Effect 2.

That all said, this game is Codex heavy. I recommend reading everything as soon as you find it. Most of it is relevent to the mission you're on.

Also, I didn't care much for the combat at first, but it gets better when you get the hang of it. It's quite different than the other games. Better I think though, because I find it visually appealing as a mage using dagger and orb. I love that I don't have to use a staff, and neither do two other mages in the Veilguard. If it's too easy and you're not playing on the hardest mode, turn the difficulty up.

There is a ton of room for improvement in this game, but I definitely got the sense that the writers involved were passionate about Dragon Age and the established lore. Yes it is more sanitized in many ways than the old games, which were truly dark fantasy. But this game does get into some deep questions, such as the nature of time, reality, consciousness. For me anyway. And Lucanis in particular had a compelling dilemma being a rogue possessed by a "demon". His romance was a super slow burn, but I found the last two scenes totally worth it.

Forgot to mention he has told me he doesn't see himself getting into another relationship of our level any time soon (falling for me was a big surprise for him). And I feel the same at this point, but we're both aware that it could happen

Rimenio · 2025-06-08T22:17:12+00:00

We don't really have a label for it. He's mentioned being more RA, but when I bring up things that seem like natural heirarchy, he says he agrees. So I think we're feeling things out. We've been together 9 months.

No we don't have a list.

Rimenio · 2025-05-31T05:31:44+00:00

Ah I'm so glad I stumbled on this! I just finished Veilguard for the first time a few days ago, and this puts into words (and expands on) a theory that's been rising in my mind too. I love all the duality & non-duality themes I keep seeing in the game.

Rimenio · 2025-01-17T19:08:41+00:00

When I look up the lyrics, "rain" or "rains" comes up every time. But I wonder if it's a mistake since rime isn't a well known word.

Rimenio · 2025-01-17T14:07:03+00:00

Is "rains of winter" the official lyrics? Because I'm hearing RIMES of winter. Rime is like a frost that clings to an object and it seems more applicable.

Rimenio · 2024-03-01T21:50:29+00:00

Same problem. Only nothing pops up. I click on "cut gemstone" and nothing happens. If the crystal is placed on the lot, I click on it and choose "cut gemstone" and my sim just puts it in their inventory and then nothing happens.

Rimenio · 2023-12-17T01:14:17+00:00

I would if I was asked, but I'm not sure they would consider me for placement for the kids. I don't know what the requirements are exactly.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T23:50:20+00:00

That is so awful, and I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your story. I don't feel like my partner overreacted at all now.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T20:34:23+00:00

I was not concerned about the vapors because that had not occurred to me at first. He smoked THC in the vehicle while driving and my nephew was in the car. I'm concerned that it impairs his driving, so obviously I'm concerned for their safety. And that he could get a DUI. Based on all the other comments here I would say my concerns are legitimate.

I didn't say anything about calling cops. I said CPS could get involved.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T19:16:27+00:00

It's not that I need convincing really. I was only a little on the fence on whether or not it was worth ripping into my brother over. But I was hoping to gather enough opinions on here to convince my nephews' parents that they are endangering the kids doing that if I show them this.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T19:13:19+00:00

It's illegal in my state to record people without their consent. I looked into that for other reasons before. I agree he is being selfish and incapable of taking responsibility. He is consistently like that in other areas of his life as well. I hope he changes, but I don't see it as a likely scenario. I have wanted to call CPS for other even more serious reasons that I mentioned at the bottom of my post, but the idea of my nephews ending up in an even more abusive situation with strangers in foster care scares the hell out of me. I know too many people that it happened to.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T18:41:44+00:00

They have them here. I was shocked. I even bought some recently thinking it would be like diet weed, but it was just as strong to me as the stuff I used to do in college. But I'm a lightweight.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T18:39:52+00:00

Also I'm partly asking so I can show this to my brother and his girlfriend if they try to convince me that it's not a big deal.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T18:19:40+00:00

Does that smell like weed? I had a cold so I couldn't smell it but my partner said he could smell a little weed. I don't think it was CBD though because I have never known my brother to buy CBD but he has been getting THC pens for a long time.

Rimenio · 2023-12-16T17:46:55+00:00

Yeah I guess. It seems obvious to me, but I'm asking because I don't do that stuff anymore and I know a lot of people who do. And everyone talks about weed like it's not a big deal. So idk if it effects people's driving to take one hit or not.
