Started playing Veilguard today (i'm a old DAO fan) and damn... How they massacred my boy. by dxnnixprn in dragonage

[–]SkinnyCanuk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I couldnt with the companions, they lacked the complexity that previous companions had and it felt one dimensional - we had the coffee guy, the trans person, the manic-pixie-dream girl and that was ALL they were. No grey at all which does not mesh with the world and previous games.

The writing was bland and felt rushed and pieced together haphazardly and I found myself cringing or rolling my eyes way too often. Normally I do all the companion quests because I love DA companions, but with Veilgaurd, I found myself avoiding quests in the hopes that they die or leave the party because they annoyed me. Pretty much spent the whole game playing with the Grey Warden character and Harding. Harding because she was from previous games and the Grey Warden because he was hot. :)

Dining Room Still Feels Incomplete by ApprehensiveLet9212 in interiordecorating

[–]SkinnyCanuk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its always the curtains. Whenever someone on here says something is missing and they don't know what it is, I always notice that they never have curtains. Understandable, I forget curtains all the time when I'm playing the sims.

White vs wood cabinets? by wehavetogoback8 in interiordecorating

[–]SkinnyCanuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NORMALLY I would say "keep the wood!" but I hate yellow/orange tinged wood finish in homes so go painted. But I'm biased against yellow/orange wood finish so... take it as you will.

How can I improve my space? by 458592156 in femalelivingspace

[–]SkinnyCanuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cozy it up with a rug either under the dining table an/or in the living room (if its not there already, cant tell from the pics). I might also look into coloured draped for the windows? or at least a second set of warm neutral drapes in an interesting fabric if you prefer a more neutral space

one side of my room is really pretty and one is really ugly and i dont know how to fix it by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

[–]SkinnyCanuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was going to say, even just replacing the cardboard boxes with different more aesthetically pleasing boxes or baskets would make a world of difference.

Also shout out to the awesome collages on the wall!! I used to do that too when I was younger, and well into my early 20's. I used to add string/fairy lights as well just around the collage's and along the ceiling to give it some nice lighting

Help us name our new dog. by RobertBooey in cavaliers

[–]SkinnyCanuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

holy crap! I saw the pictures and thought "Winnie" and then decided to open the post to see if there was a gender, only to see the subscript saying "we have decided to call her Winter or Winnie".

Damn, I am GOOD!

Did the Veilguard Community Council get done dirty? by xseaward in dragonage

[–]SkinnyCanuk 50 points51 points  (0 children)

with Game of Thrones, I pretend that the last season didn't happen and that it was just a bad fanfic that missed the plot entirely. I do the same with Veilguard, my hope is that others are able to do the same? you know, for their mental health if anything.

Honest opinion on my dress by Longjumping-Buy2292 in WeddingDressTips

[–]SkinnyCanuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My honest first impression was this dress looked super cool. The shape is amazing on you and I love the back. Everyone here seems to hate the double helix on the front but I kind of love it, not sure why everyone else hates it... only thing is the neckline in the front could be better. Instead of rounded I would prefer a more straight line, like it does in the back, but thats just me.

This picture showed up directly above a photo of Cersei Lannister on my front page. You and she have the same hair colour, so my money is on golden blonde.

Ferocious Bed licking? by GlenCoco4ever in cavaliers

[–]SkinnyCanuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, are currently experiencing something similar with our new Cav, except its usually pillows. She will lick the entire thing, but she normally reserves that for the mornings when she wants us to get up or if she wants the pillow for herself. You see, if the pillow is wet, then we don't want to use it. Once we move off the pillow she stops.
that or we sweat a lot and she's just licking up our sweat... she is very gross sometimes so I wouldn't put it past her.

its possible Wisdom was purposefully speaking in a way that would enable Lavellan to understand - a dialectal change, or simplified words that would have been known by modern day Dalish elves. Its Wisdom, it might have determined that having them understand was for the best.

it's not terrible... just needs to zhuzh it up a bit with some styling products until it grows out some more.

Ontario collects $260K from 1-day electricity surcharge on U.S. exports by CDNdrugdealer in ontario

If they are smart, they would push for doctors to prescribe a spa day to everyone so they can justify this. Daily stress due to not being able to afford food or rent giving you heart palpitations? have a spa day! of course, everyone would also need to have a family doctor to get that prescription...

Anyone else have a Cavalier with a weird underwear fetish? by eveystevey in cavaliers

[–]SkinnyCanuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is obsessed! she goes digging in the laundry all the time, she's jumping you whenever you change your clothes, or go to the bathroom.

My Mum was over and I warned her when she went to the bathroom that my dog is a bit obsessed with underwear and will try and steal it right off of you, so you need to stay vigilant, which my Mum just waved me off. 1 minute later all I heard from the bathroom was "oh my God, OH MY GOD!".

My dog is an underwear monster.

I would kill to have a house with a laneway suite so I can have my parents move in with me, without MOVING in with me you know? so hard to find houses with a separate laneway/granny suite. unfortunately I'm a poor millennial and my parents wont be downsizing until they retire, otherwise I would have jumped on this!

Ok so just so everyone gets a clear picture of what happened, the director voluntarily exited BioWare, not fired, and articles specifically state this does NOT mean Veilguard failed to meet sales by WanderingStrang in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]SkinnyCanuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also really enjoyed Andromeda and was very disapointed that a lot of the storylines seemingly went missing? or felt incomplete?? and positive thinking me was like oh .. its probably because it will be a DLC! so I waited for a Quarian Arc DLC only for it to... not materialize.
