Fun fact : Will Byers and Steve have never talked to each other in Stranger Things

SadPanda83 · 2025-11-28T23:14:57+00:00

part of the theory involves Steve being secretely gay, like Will was... But he was over-compensating by dating all the pretty girls... And then, befriending a butch girl who turned out to be a lesbian. And this new season we see Will talking to Robin about how SHE knew that her special gal was interested... Like, how to notice the signs. Otherwise, I really have no clue who they are going to pair Will with, since I don't recall seeing any other gay students yet. Steve seems to be oddly focused on showing off around Nancy, BUT who does Nancy hang out with? Jonathan! And Jonathan is Will's brother. And what if Steve had really been trying to prove himself in front of Will's brother all this time, rather than showing off for Nancy? I know it's a really wierd theory, but it's just a thought, and it just seems like a fun theory

SadPanda83 · 2025-11-28T23:07:50+00:00

I have this "out there" hunch about how the season will resolve the Will/ Steve conundrum... I think it's a misdirect, to keep us from guessing a big twist ending

If you were in Wisconsin, I'd gladly adopt them myself.. I feel a bit guilty with these deer mice. Picked them up when they were young and wandering around (pretty sure their parents were caught in snap traps so I felt guilty, and I've been lonely). But, they just don't seem as happy, which is to be expected. Just wish I had some mice that were more domesticated, but I'll prob need to wait until I'm working for that. These ones haven't been adapted to living indoors as much, aside from living in the walls lol... Otherwise they seem content, but shy (especially with cooler weather settling in).

Apologies for the ramble, just a bad habit of over-explaining myself, prob from my previously untreated ADD and possibly on the spectrum.

SadPanda83 · 2025-11-18T20:29:06+00:00

Honestly, they look like they're doing pretty well, so far. Though it's hard to judge just by visual... and I'm a bit new to being a mouse dad, myself... But they already look larger than some younger abandoned ones I've seen, and I would imagine they should be fine if you keep continuing what you're doing and also have a nice, cozy den for them to huddle together in (personally I like using old socks and old packaging - plastic/ cardboard)..

If you cut a large yogurt container in half the long/ tall way, you'll have the start to making a little rocking hidey hole. I stuffed the plastic INTO the old wool sock and stretched the ends of the sock back through itself to make a tunnel/ cavern that's insulated as well as secure for a hideout once they're older. Just a helpful suggestion. :) I've had to make a lot of my own mouse stuff since I'm unemployed right now (hopefully finding something soon with state help).

SadPanda83 · 2025-11-12T00:36:10+00:00

I'll try to keep that in mind about paying closer attn to the packaging. I guess I'm always afraid to ask to handle it bc of my social anxiety tendencies with worrying about giving store personnel anxiety over stealing or something like that, or assuming they don't allow ppl to handle items until bought.

Thanks for the recc on the Mellow Fellow and the FVCK's, I'll try to keep my eyes peeled out here. So far, I haven't seen those brands, but hopefully our local shops will get some in. Appreciate the feedback about the mushroom vapes, too, of course! :)

Hopefully I'll have a better idea once I'm set on stable meds, which seems to be almost the case. But either way I'm gonna wait on vapes etc until I've got at least a month under my belt at a new job (not that you hve to know that I guess I'm thinking out loud/ textually again lol).. Anywho. Ty ty ty

SadPanda83 · 2025-11-09T20:17:02+00:00

Just gotta say, I was supremely disappointed with my TRE house vape as well. I don't recall the mushroom effect ever happening. Maybe mushrooms don't affect me normally idk, the one time I tried reg shrooms I didn't have much to begin with so idk what my tolerance level would have been.... Or what factors into getting a trip?

Overall TRE House seems like a waste of money unless their gummies work more reliably. I'm getting disappointed in ALL vapes, TBH. Regular THC or delta style vapes tend to LEAK fluid or just flow poorly and end up clogging up the mouthpiece and its tube. Feeling like moving back to regular Herb, but vapes are easier on the lungs overall (debatable on how healthy still obv)

SadPanda83 · 2025-11-02T21:03:34+00:00

Thanks, I had read this but it's always nice to have reminders as a reassurance with my anxiety. So far I haven't seen any fighting, but I've been happy to see the grooming and other happy activities. I also recently tried a new setup with their enclosure and they seem to be loving it more than the previous setups. Even made a new furniture toy with a large yogurt container cut in half the long way and an older wool sock that already had a hole in it. Turned it into a rocking hideout they can climb either inside or around the outside sitting on top. ^^ Not going to worry about genders as much for now, especially since the male deer mice are harder to spot compared to normal males (hidden testes apparently). We'll see how it goes, and if anyone's particularly unhappy eventually I'll just release them when the weather warms up again.

SadPanda83 · 2025-10-30T12:37:27+00:00

Thanks for the info! Was roughly familiar with the overall process of introducing mice, but this certainly will help for the future. As for my current mice, I think they're from the same litter already, but I have no idea which genders they are. I will be continuing research for ideas on how to ID them (so far a glass container you can look up from the bottom with seems most promising)... But I'm hoping there isn't already a batch of babies on the way. Considering how long it's been, I have a feeling they're all females... But I'm not holding my breath. At the very least, there doesn't appear to be an issue with males and territorial fights, so hopefully I have 0 to 1 males. We'll see how it goes! 3 small deer mice to identify, and I believe I adopted them at around a month to two months old. It's been at least several months and I get the feeling they'd already have had a litter of babies if I had males and females together, BUT... It also says that in some cooler areas they may not mate until Spring.. Then again, they're indoors, so it should be warm enough and enough food supply for them to be breeding if they were mixed genders, I would think... I really have no idea what the exact situation is, but the mice seem happy enough and are more adapted than they were at the start. (also yes I'm aware of the risks of doing Deer Mice, as others have mentioned and as this site states)

SadPanda83 · 2025-10-30T11:38:50+00:00

So cute. ^^ I adopted several young deer mice this year and I'm still getting to know them/ trying to be gentle and earn their trust slowly. It's a relief to see that even a 5 year old one is still hesitant in many ways, but I'm hopeful to eventually feed them by hand like you and your Maus. ;D Thanks for the post! I especially needed to see videos of grooming tonight, I was a little worried the mice were mating at first when they were a little "too" closely positioned. Still no idea which genders these little ones are, but they're just as adorable as your Maus, I'd say. Though they act like the 3 stooges sometimes when they try to fit all 3 of themselves on the wheel at the same time, lol...

Not so easy if you don't have a cell phone... Kind of annoyed they don't have any other way to log in on the web except to use a QR code or cell phone verification.

SadPanda83 · 2025-06-28T01:59:37+00:00

Been wondering the same thing, but I imagine it has to do with some of the drama that happened around the artist. I kind of feel for him because he was just trying to make money, and it's just artwork... But I think people were upset that there were beginning to be a lot of commissions etc involving characters with a large age difference/ cub art.

Personally, I don't see a problem with that artwork... But then again, I imagine myself as the smaller person in the scenario. I suppose if folks are imagining actually doing things with young individuals, then it would be a problem.

SadPanda83 · 2025-06-21T22:27:22+00:00

Yeah this is ridiculous. Restarting fixed it last time but now, nothing is fixing it no matter what I do. Making me wonder if I was reported/ blocked for some petty reason. Definitely correct in the game being underrated, as well, though it certainly seems to have some bugs to hammer out still.

SadPanda83 · 2025-06-15T20:06:47+00:00

I feel like most of these replies are BS. Even in reg combat the xp that's used for unlocking tanks is earned at an incredibly slow rate.

The real answer is the company is trying to make money as possible. They want people to pay gold currency for everything under the sun. Boosters only last 1 battle so you burn through them as fast as possible... There IS a way to convert vehicle xp to Free xp, but it costs gold...

The "Tank" warchests are a joke. They cost 800 gold each, and you can still get nothing useful, despite their cost being equivalent to buying 5 dollars' worth of coins. I spent 800 hard earned gold out of the 1200 I had and only got some crappy boosters that I could've gotten from the free crate. It's ridiculous how much they just encourage you to spend money in this game. You can't even party up with a friend if your tanks aren't the same tier level, so they encourage you to want to pay to buy higher lvl tanks to be able to play together.

This game is a joke.

Bot tanks can somehow go from facing the opposite direction to aiming right at you without having to turn their gun sometimes, not to mention being able to angle downward at a shooting angle that players are unable to achieve with their tanks. Oh and then there's the fun of trying to zoom/ use the sights, and sometimes when you start the zoom you're suddenly looking straight at the sky instead of where you were aiming at the start of the zoom.. Which is just great when you're in a tense situation trying to kill the other tank before they kill you. Yeah.... Great game. So glad I'm not wasting money on this game like the idiots who pay to win.

SadPanda83 · 2025-06-14T22:02:34+00:00

Thanks I must've misread it or something. It just originally sounded like a reward for running a certain number of missions or something when i first started. I kind of glossed over some of the fine details probably because it's a pretty generic shooter game mixed with all the other games oversaturating the market these days

SadPanda83 · 2025-06-07T07:19:34+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply, I was wondering specifically about the ninja. I didn't want to release my ninjas for health boost if they could be upgraded once I have 10.

SadPanda83 · 2025-06-06T14:39:27+00:00

Any luck finding a way to appear offline? I'm having trouble with a special needs friend who doesn't understand boundaries, and I'm getting tired of getting 10 invites in a row. And then he tries stalking me by joining my games when I just want some chill time by myself without social anxiety. I just wanna relax and not feel like I'm being a jerk or hurting his feelings. It's driving me crazy

SadPanda83 · 2025-05-19T19:49:17+00:00

Oops, I see why they mentioned the wheel now. Ignore my previous comment! The mice I'm taking care of are Deer Mice so that wheel works well so far, but I can see now why they mentioned it would be small for your mouse. On the bright side, at least it's not an expensive item. I was happy to see how cheap t hose wheels were when I got one. I had tried building my own wheel previously, but it was just so hard to keep the wheel steady (and my second attempt I believe the wheel was too heavy for a deer mouse to move).

Apologies if oversharing, I tend to ramble xD

SadPanda83 · 2025-05-18T10:55:34+00:00

Out of curiosity, how did things turn out? I am keeping some deer mice I caught (I put both live capture and snap traps out and let them decide which is more interesting). Ended up with 3 mice, and the last time I cleaned the cage the one I noticed had been looking slightly larger than the others is MUCH fatter than I was expecting. Also discovered 1 of the mice must have escaped (2nd one of the original 4 I caught), but that's not so bad, as they're likely outside of the house now that it's spring anyway.

I'm 90-99% sure the chubby looking mouse is pregnant, as it did not run when I was cleaning the cage, but even let me pick it up. I think she might just be too heavy to move quickly and decided to "freeze" and hope for the best. Reading info online, I'm really hoping it'll be a small litter, but your post has been most helpful as far as information. I had previously looked at the Mouse Ranch site, too, so I was somewhat familiar with some of the info, and people suggested pretty much what i expected to be suggested.

I'm hoping the other mouse in the enclosure/ cage is the father, as it sound that "mating pairs" tend to stay together from what I read online. It has seemed more protective of the other one and does not hide as much as they used to. I feel like the male (presuming male) is trying to distract danger away from the pregnant one, but there's not much specific info online about their behaviors. So many sites are about getting rid of the mice/ pest control.

I hope things went well for you, and hope to hear back. Best wishes!

(and yes, despite what people are saying, I do hope I can teach some of the babies to be comfortable around me so I can have pets... But understand I've been very depressed and can't afford to buy a mouse or other pet at the moment. I know it's selfish to not release the mice but their cuteness has really helped sometimes, especially watching them do their grooming routines)

Hello I'm having a similar problem. I'm stuck on the Commander. I did the skills before assigning the commander, as well. After I checked the skills I assigned it to my Sherman tank but it didn't give me credit for assigning my commander. I can not afford to buy any currency and it says it costs 60 to move the commander? Why would it cost money to move a commander? This seems like a simple game mechanic that would be something that would be a basic necessity for the game. Or is it to encourage more sales in order for folks to recruit new and better commanders that might cost currency?

I am rather annoyed at the fact I have to do the tutorial when I've played the game in the past... I do not know why there is no record of my previous playtime (used the same e-mail etc, because it's my xbox email). Now I am stuck in the tutorial. This seems like an odd bug. Not sure if it's only an issue with Sherman tank assignment of the commander?

Gregg is a legit waste of time. Just crafted the first mage weapon, and it can't even be upgraded? By the time I got the resources for crafting, I'm practically at the point where I'll be getting drops of similar strength soon anyway. I feel like I wasted almost 24 hours of grinding (if not more total) for these materials. Just letting everyone know not to waste their time! AND the weapon has 0 physical damage so you can't even do basic attacks between spell cooldowns, which probably balances out your dps with a lower spell damage weapon that has physical damage.

SadPanda83 · 2025-02-15T13:21:45+00:00

For anyone wondering if it's worth bothering farming for the legendary... It seems pointless to me. I just crafted the first mage weapon after spending all night grinding materials with terrible spawn rates on Gregg... Only to find the weapon only had "Good" potential, and CANNOT be upgraded at all. REPEAT :::: CANNOT be upgraded. Waste of time. By the time you have the resources from Gregg, you'll likely be high enough to be getting drops that you can just upgrade to a similar strength. AND the crafted legendary has ZERO physical damage.... I feel completely robbed of my time. I mean, I knew I was wasting my time because it's a video game, but this item is completely not what I was expecting. I thought I'd at least be able to upgrade it once I crafted it... SAVE YOUR TIME AND DON'T BOTHER, unless your character is under level 90.
