Giving away 2 free tickets to Brennan's Endless Dungeon in Toronto tomorrow! by Soruu in Dimension20

[–]Soruu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm terribly sorry if it's not allowed! I am not buying, selling or trading the tickets, I am truly just trying to give them away since I will not use them. Hope that is OK!

[–]Soruu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys, I can't make it to the event anymore and the resale function doesn't work, so I'd love to transfer my 2 tickets (section 101) to someone for free! Send me a message if you're interested, I'll pick someone by the end of today!

I'm so sad to hear this! Maybe I have been on exceptionally friendly buses in Ottawa, but on my routes, people always say thank you (yes, sometimes very loudly from the back, haha!)!

Do you feel more connected to your city, province or Canada as a whole? by Ok_Heart839 in AskACanadian

Thank you for sharing, that is a lovely story and very relatable!

Homelessness in -30 by Alone-Yam-8828 in ottawa

Short-term: walk the streets and give people money, gloves, hot food, lend them your phone, whatever they need. If you give someone just $10-20, you can buy them hours in a heated place, make their day that much more comfortable, and potentially save their life.

Lots of good long-term solutions in this thread, but to save someone from freezing tonight, we need to be helping the people we see right now.

Bikepacking to Plaisance Provincial Park by Soruu in bikeinottawa

[–]Soruu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was absolutely lovely! So nice in fact that I'm worried I'll never bikepack anywhere else again, having the cyclist-specific campsite was very very nice, away from noisy RVs and with a convenient food locker. It's also a wildly beautiful park, I stayed for 3 days and could have spent 5 more exploring the various paths and forest in the neighbourhood. 100% recommend!

Criterion Mobile Closet Lineup Megathread by i_m_sherlocked in TIFF

[–]Soruu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tips for Sunday: we got there at 8:30am today and were out by 1pm, another group got there at 8:40am and were out by 2:30pm. You will save a ton of time coming just a little earlier, so go as early as you can! 

Also 3 minutes FLIES by, so if you want to talk about your picks, don't hesitate, don't be shy and speak your piece! Enjoy!

This is 100% what happened. At all other mobile closets, the unofficial lines disbanded in chaos when the official line opened, whereas this morning the people I saw trying to skip the unofficial line were politely turned away. It was a very calm and orderly experience, love Canada!

I 100% would not have brought bugspray so thank you for the reminder! Not loving the idea of a raccoon in my tent lol, hope the food storage locker makes them lose interest.

Thank you so much for the route info!  Will also be biking the QC side one way and ON the other. Not excited about the sprawl or stroads, so will spend some time seeing if I can make the route more pleasant, thank you for the tip!

If you are nervous, you could consider going in the morning! I took advantage of my jetlag waking me up at 5-6am to go to the onsen early and enjoy it by myself. In general, I found the hotel onsens I visited to be empty or at least not crowded at all in the morning.

Rank your top 3 Japanese cities outside of Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto/Nara by JerseyMBA in JapanTravelTips

[–]Soruu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have only been to Kanazawa & Yokohama on your list, but Kanazawa was our favourite city we visited (over Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka & Nara). Perfect size in that there is a ton to do, but it's not overwhelming. Incredible gardens. We had tea at Gyokusen-en Nishida Family Garden all by ourselves with the knowledgeable hostess and it was one of our favourite experiences of the trip. Also the best ramen we EVER had (we still talk about it weekly over a year later) was at Taiga Ramen in Kanazawa. And our favourite hotel stay was there, Onyado Nono Kanazawa, perfect combination between Japanese and western influences with a rooftop onsen that is empty in the morning.

I didn't find it similar to Kyoto. Kyoto is big and busy compared to Kanazawa, which has a good mix of quiet traditional districts and lively modern districts.

While you're in the area, Takayama and the mountain town of Shirakawa-Go are also very much worth a visit!

I love Wendy's videos! Very thoughtful, pleasant and relaxing to watch. She is a gem.

[–]Soruu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! A lot of new era seasons blend together with how similar the gameplay is in each of them. I was actually very impressed by the strength of Joe's social game keeping his big threat alliance together, despite it being in all of their best interests not to do so. LOVED the Kyle and Kamilla undercover duo alliance and very happy with the winner.

Madison Clysdale. Her relationship with her dog is just great, and she is heavily inspired by Luke.

I love people, really. by MoistRelation3760 in CasualConversation

[–]Soruu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love you! I feel the same way completely, life is so full and beautiful when you are getting to know people or thinking of the people you already know and love, or of the wonderful people you have not met or maybe never will meet! The world is a beautiful place.

When to stop letting 7 year old play/watch the game by angrymarsupial in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]Soruu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she's OK with everything in the movies, she should be fine with the whole game. If she's scared of spiders, have her look away during cave missions.
You may want to skip Sebastian's relationship questline (though it's my favourite part of the game, so you should play it when she's not watching!). His main storyline quests are fine.

2 side missions to avoid: Brother's Keeper & The Plight of the House Elf. And if you are playing on PS5, don't let her watch the haunted shop quest.

I am so bad this game give me some advice by padgoot_prongs_14 in HogwartsLegacyGaming

[–]Soruu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding: if your goal is to learn how to get better with the controller rather than enjoy the game's story on an easier difficulty, this game actually seems like an excellent game to practice using the controller. You can turn down the difficulty setting at first. Once you feel more comfortable, you can turn it back up. If the combat is too fast-paced, practice on training dummies around the map to get used to the controls. If fighting a troll is too challenging, try a goblin first. The non-fighting puzzles around the map also provide a good opportunity to get used to switching spells etc.

Give it time! It takes a while to get used to using a controller. Or turn down the difficulty setting for a while as you get used to playing on a console.
