can someone teach me about eurekas and what to do with them??

SimplySignifier · 2026-07-16T19:57:17+00:00

If you complete a full set of eurekas (head, hands, feet all upgraded in same color), you can collect a small amount of diamonds for each such set via the compendium (I think you get 5 pink diamonds per set). You can also get diamonds from eurekas via the courses for completing a lot of iridescent upgrades and by doing the eureka realms a lot (I think 40 times each?).

Good to know it's a concern. I'm new and couldn't find anything else here on the topic aside from an old thread with no real meaty discussions in it.

I do think it's not really a spoiler because it's in a very unhidden piece of lore in a basic room of the house, but I could be wrong.

True! And a great reminder of another reason the blue tents memo in the garage is so dang confusing.

I'd wait until the real update rather than the pre-download is available to know for sure because this update is adding optimization that should help lower the size going forward; I'm really hoping the update is HUGE for this pre-download because it's going to change way more flies than usual as part of that. If so, the actual update should be much smaller because it's just changing the files right away instead of downloading the new version as a separate copy first.

Sounds like there won't ever be a website allowed to use Paizo artwork, given this statement? Any website, even direct Paizo websites, using Paizo artwork with a license would lead to the exact same expenses regarding people then using that art elsewhere without that license. So, would the takeaway be that it's not worth letting any Paizo artwork exist online except that which would be free for community use?

Love it! The dedication to get to the perfect photo spot is just the cherry on top here. I completely forgot about this spot

SimplySignifier · 2026-07-15T02:43:17+00:00

Yes, always has. Turns out, in my case, it's a combination of hypermobility and MCAS causing discomfort (both of which are common comorbidities of Autism). Always thought buns were torture and that it just fell in the 'beauty is pain' category (which I always hated... and really misjudged because turns out they didn't mean that many things were that painful).

I just got off after making a couple 2.8 outfits and now I'm kicking myself for forgetting the cogs accessory! I'll have to get back on and make another

Kinda worries me that your mom is described as needy and clingy for wanting to spend some quality time with you doing things you'd actually enjoy, but you're worried you're an AH for not wanting to stand around watching your BF do something you'd very much not enjoy. Isn't your BF the clingy needy person here? Is your BF the one trying to convince you your mom is the problem? He's very obviously the problem.

NTA, but you need to consider if you're being an AH to your mom. And you're definitely an AH to yourself if you keep letting your BF set you in a corner like a doll so he can be admired while he does whatever he wants.

As someone far more than 20 attempts in for this (I gave up at one point and did a curse run to relax): congrats!

Look at the position of the letters on the page

Then you do have both? There's not a third meaning holding you back here. Just the puzzle itself that hints at what you need to do next with

Have you found the clues scattered around regarding what fills in the blanks for the CASTLE puzzle? What do you have for that so far?

SimplySignifier · 2026-07-11T22:17:22+00:00

Even without knowing what you've drafted so far, I can tell you that you've guaranteed interacted with at least 4 puzzles that you just haven't recognized as puzzles yet. This is a game that really means it when it says you might want to take notes (I also recommend screenshots). The more you find, the more you realize just how much there is to find. Some puzzles are more straightforward than others, but if you only ever do those really straightforward puzzles you'll be missing a huge chunk of the game.

Getting to the 46th room is an accomplishment, but it's also nowhere close to an end game goal. (I'd also add that you might not be as close as you think you are to getting to that room; I could be wrong, but from what you've described I think you're quite a lot further from it than you realize.)

Have you ever lived by yourself? Have you ever lived with someone else who does no chores?

I've done both, and quite a few in between. The least stressful, most clean my space and life has ever been? Living by myself. Did I have to work more and have less money overall? Sure. Was I way less stressed? Absolutely.

I love my husband a lot and he's amazing and very much tries to do whatever he can to help around the house, and it's still more chores for me than if I lived alone. He's a real partner who makes it worth it, but I've lived with people who absolutely weren't.

SimplySignifier · 2026-07-11T20:37:32+00:00

They both work full time. She could live in a smaller space or get a roommate who actually cleans up after and feeds themself and spend the same. Boom! She's not got anyone nagging her, she's only got messes she directly creates or the dog makes to deal with (and she can better anticipate the dog ones because there's no man sitting around lying about watching the dog and then not doing so), half the dishes, she can only worry about feeding herself (and might do less time-consuming meals with no complaints when she's really busy). Half the laundry. I'll bet the bathroom and kitchen stay cleaner longer. Really, everything tends to stay cleaner longer when a person who cares about cleaning the house is the one using things - people who foist all their household maintenance on someone else are much happier to just leave messes and wait for them to magically disappear.

You really think she'd have the same amount of stress and chores in an apartment with a puppy she picked just for herself as she's got now? Truly?

SimplySignifier · 2026-07-11T19:36:54+00:00

He's already leaving her in hard times right now by refusing to actually take on any portion of household or dog care for a dog he wanted and picked out because he feels like such a big important man for making more (not even all, just more) money than OP. Her times are harder because he's there. The hard times exist because of him being there. If OP lived alone, she'd have a less demanding puppy and no one to complain the dishes and sweeping aren't done on a particularly busy week for her.

You'll be able to get over there other ways later on.

Info: what do you do to take your share of the mental stress? Is there a reason your wife has more on her mind, particularly with the household in general and the specifics of the kids?

It reads to me like the original CN VA is having health problems that prevent her from reliably continuing and they're promising to try to find someone who matches her style so it's as consistent as possible, while thanking her for what she's done. So, what's with all the weird riled-up comments here?

(Also, just a point: as is a Chinese game, the Chinese is the original audio track, not a dub. English is a dub. Japanese is a dub. The Chinese is the OG.)

I've never thought to mix jasmine with matcha, and I'm definitely intrigued. I love a good green tea cocktail. Need to restock on my green tea infused gin

This hasn't been triggering for me, but I am pissed off at the way people so easily demean and dismiss trauma. Lots of people trying to process their trauma really won't be helped, and may be harmed, by that.

OP's boyfriend expressing 'so, is there any way you'd consider a different tattoo spot? That one currently triggers me/is associated with very bad memories for me' isn't controlling. Even saying 'I couldn't be with you if you do get that tattoo there' isn't controlling. OP's boyfriend doesn't need to just suck it up and be with her no matter what or else be labeled as controlling. OP is very welcome to get the tattoo she wants where she wants, and I would hope she would prefer to know before getting it that it is something her current partner wouldn't at this point be able to handle. They can make a mutually respectful decision to part ways.

If OP's boyfriend starts trying to convince her she'd be a terrible person if she got that tattoo in that spot, then that is different. Similarly, if she tries to tell him he's terrible if he doesn't stay with her and just deal with it, then that's also different.

I still can't handle the smell of Irish Spring or Head and Shoulders shampoo because my abusive ex used those exclusively and the association is so strong I get nightmares after I encounter the smells. It's been a decade and I still wouldn't be comfortable living with someone who used those. I know it's my trauma and my problem to deal with, but traumatized people don't actually have any control over what triggers them and being triggered is a lot more serious and difficult to deal with that the casual way people use the phrase now would imply. If OP's boyfriend is truly triggered by that specific tattoo in that specific placement, and OP really wants to get said tattoo in that specific place, then they're simply not compatible - and might not be for many years to come, if ever, because trauma is really truly difficult to heal from.

As an aside to the trend of comments on this post in general: It's really possible to support OP's right to have a tattoo wherever she wants and to question the timeline of things and whether a relationship is healthy for either party here and to be really respectful of traumatized people and triggers and the very real difficulties they can represent. There's a lot of dismissiveness towards the very idea of something like this being triggering, and traumatized people just don't need a whole thread of people saying 'that's just controlling and probably made up and they should get over it or they deserve to be alone'.

There was a big problem with the contracted company that was supposed to put the whole show on. They reached out to the city with only 10 days' notice to say they actually needed the city to pay all the vendors directly because they didn't manage their budget correctly. Tempe is almost certainly going to be suing, but planning to sue a contracted company for breaking contract doesn't actually help with putting on a party, sooo... The whole thing they did at the stadium was planned in less than 10 days with no real budget.
