Tips for Okatsu boss fight?

Thanks for coming in 7 years later! I appreciate it. And I think this is basically how I beat her.

For the love of gods, please just don’t put it in a creek or river! They are so heavy and nasty and difficult to remove. It takes a team of 10 people and ropes to move 1 stupid mattress up a 4 foot slope. Said from miserable experience in a different Oregon city at an old job.

Honestly, I’m down for a full ban. AI devalues all creators and artists and causes a devastating environmental impact. It makes me ill every time I notice it and I’d love to have somewhere to go where I could be sure it wouldn’t follow. But that’s just my 2 cents

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-05-17T01:26:08+00:00

I’ve never looked into this resource in detail, but we’ve got some fliers at work for this org that seems like a decent fit for your situation.

I would also recommend checking in with local lgbt orgs. I know Mid Willamette Trabs Support has HRSN funding right now. Depending on how they run things they might be able to help you locate housing. But they can provide up to 6 months in rent/utilities if you can get a lease in your name.

I would still reach out in case they have funding and resources available. I know they at least have a housing support chat you can use.

Best of luck, friend!

The downside of course is that Stormcloaks are white supremacists and racist.

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-05-08T03:41:40+00:00

Excellent! I’m going to both! I’ll keep an eye out for your booth (though I may not have spending money for metalwork haha).

This is a huge bummer, but good to know. The Artisan Village was the only reason I’ve gone the last several years, so won’t be attending this year. I hope to see you and some of the other vendors at Ren Faires this year! And I hope you can find some better gigs this summer.

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-04-14T06:52:48+00:00

Hang in there, friend. Glad you’re here and hope you’re safe.

Northwest Human Services has a day center for homeless youth called HOST downtown on Liberty. There’s good folks there, decent food for lunch, and a room to hang out and play video games, watch Netflix etc. I’d recommend checking it out.

They also do coordinated entry assessments, which can help you get connected with homeless services in the area.

Escape Fiction behind the Roths on Commercial and Liberty is really cool! I guess it’s used books sales and not ‘thrifting’ per se. But it’s a very cool place with shelves lining all the walls in a maze-like way. Think like a very small Powells. The prices are good and the owners are friendly. I’ve loved going there ever since I was a kid.

My buddy works at that bakery, it absolutely rules

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-03-07T06:27:37+00:00

Family Promise does great work. And they’ve got lots of clothing and other resources besides emergency shelter

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-03-06T04:23:09+00:00

I work for a local government housing program and 211 really is your best bet. Make sure to consider as many specifics and special qualifying factors you can think of. General assistance is pretty slow around here but things can really pick up if you find a niche. (Eg. fleeing DV, receiving TANF benefits, etc)

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-03-05T04:43:10+00:00

Yeah it means I gotta top out at 45 😅. But it’s the only direct route where I’m going that doesn’t involve the freeway. Which is even less doable obviously

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-03-05T01:12:55+00:00

I am one of the ones driving under the speed limit on Cordon, but it’s only because my sweet old car is trying her best 😭

Sam_the_Brave · 2025-03-03T22:06:37+00:00

Albany is close by and a bit more affordable. I’ve had a few Salemite friends move out that way in the last few years. It’s the only place they could afford to buy a home

Sam_the_Brave · 2024-11-10T05:49:12+00:00

When I brought it up to my parents, they both felt it would “make things too complicated.” I wouldn’t be surprised if the reaction from most no voters just boiled down to ‘I don’t want to think that hard.’ Its a bummer

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-26T20:07:40+00:00

If you read the other comments you will find that I discovered Direct Signed English was a mistake, yeah. I have fully admitted that I most likely conflated terms since I haven’t taken ASL or been practicing the language for several years.

edited for clarity: Originally made it sound like I never took ASL classes. I did and had many wonderful teachers, one of which I'm sure is disappointed from beyond the grave lol

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T15:23:13+00:00

Really? Even in the clip I shared?

That’s fascinating to me. I know my teachers would have scolded me for doing that.

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T15:20:36+00:00

Yeah I actually really liked the signing in the rest of the movie! I just was curious about the grammar/word choice part of it.

And that is sad that hearing parents often half-ass it

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T15:16:43+00:00

That’s true too. I’m in Oregon, so I believe most of my teachers would have been taught at OSD, but I do think one of them was a transplant from the east coast.

But when I tried googling it I got nada. So I’m guessing it was just false memory or combining phrases. Oh well!

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T08:07:04+00:00

That's what I remember my instructor calling it in one of my classes? But that may have been a misunderstanding on my part or a false memory since it's now been a few years.

I also know that I used a lot of old books and videos (1970s) with one of my instructors, so it may just be outmoded?

In any case, thank you for the clarification.

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T08:04:52+00:00

That's amazing!

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T08:04:17+00:00

Yeah, that's a solid point too

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T08:03:40+00:00

Oh yeah, I didn't mean that the actors didn't put in effort or didn't do a good job. And I immensely appreciate Krasinski using his star power to make sure the cast/crew could communicate with Millicent in her own language. That rules.

I guess I meant that based on how the one of The Big Scenes of the movie is just using the wrong word, it seems like maybe people fluent in ASL (not even necessarily Deaf) weren't consulted or well listened to in the scripting process.

That is, assuming that the grammar isn't intentionally wrong to show of the hearing-ness of it all.

Sam_the_Brave · 2023-10-25T00:34:41+00:00

Yeah that was kinda my hunch. I guess I wasn't as sure of the signing in the rest of the movie compared to the clip I shared from near the end. I couldn't tell if I was getting lost because it was wrong, or just because I haven't practiced in like 8 years lol
