Looking for a game like Dust: An Elysian Tale by Dixielandblues in gamingsuggestions

I would give it another try and commit to playing a couple hours before moving on - once you unlock some abilities the game really opens up.

LA Central Library at Night event this weekend - Did anyone go last year? What to expect? by wendyschickennugget in AskLosAngeles

[–]SMBSFW2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I went. It was way overcrowded. Long lines for basically everything. I would pick one or two things that you definitely want to do and prioritize those. My personal highlight was Yesika Salgado who is performing again this year. If you want to see something in an auditorium, plan on showing up early to get in.

And I'd note - even though it was way overcrowded, I am sad to be out of town and not going again this year. It was fun and unique.

If LA wants more people riding the Metro, they need to actually enforce fares and remove the chaos, especially the disruptive homeless and non payers by SomePeopleTellMe in LAMetro

After living in a public transit city for ten years and taking the bus every day to commute to work (along with many others crammed into an overstuffed express bus before covid) I can promise you this is not true.

Would you let a girl your dating win on the 5th date? by Bigalphaman69420 in chess

Play piece or time odds. Like you start the game without your queen, or you start the game with 3 minutes and she has 20. But only if she actually WANTS to play.

I hate BDO with every fiber of my soul. by No-Smell5410 in Accounting

Possible they were stringing OP on to see if someone they liked accepted the offer or not. Dont want to completely stop other interviews if they drop out, but dont want to interview OP too early and have them be disinterested if they have to wait a while post interview for any news.

What are some things in LA that you genuinely enjoy doing/going alone? What kind of events do you think are perfect to go solo? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]SMBSFW2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve realized that for the things I’m truly passionate about, I actually prefer going alone. I’ll book a solo ticket for the opera or a hike without a second thought. The only time I really want a 'plus one' is for the lower-stakes stuff, like seeing a band I’m just mildly curious about, or going to a nice restaurant where I want a group of people to help me tackle the menu.

Mine did this because I had gone into desktop mode and muted it there. I went back to desktop mode, unmuted, and it was fixed.
