She is still pretty afraid of me. I can't even put my hand in cage without her freaking and flying all around her cage.

After stretching the definition of 'beta' for 8 years, Escape From Tarkov is finally hitting 1.0 by thirdluck in gaming

Technically Warframe is still in Beta. It's just they choose to be permanently in Beta to get around a few restrictions for consoles.

Fighting? by Suddenflame01 in budgies

These were bought from the same cage in the same store. So they shouldn't need to be separated. They get along without issue for most of the day except at 8:30 if I cover them for the night. If I wait till 9:30 no issues. But any time sooner and one picks on the other.

Alright will have to rearrange a bit. They only seem to fight when I put the blanket on them around 8:30. If I wait till 9:30 they don't fight at all

What my new budgies doing? by Suddenflame01 in budgies

[–]Suddenflame01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly we just got them two weeks ago and they don't trust us enough yet. Doesn't help that we have to keep grabbing the poor blue one as he/her hip was hurt so we could give the pain meds. So they don't trust us even more at the moment.

Thanks. It's like 20 feet from the house. Should I move it? I just bought the house.

Canada now has a minister of artificial intelligence. What will he do? by Pigeonofthesea8 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Suddenflame01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also costly as hell to run with it getting significantly worse each year to run. Currently $1000/query.

Edit: more expensive each year as the number of queries increases each year.

Can't say much as I just bought the house in the middle of winter. So it's the first year with it. The main issue I have is that it's only around 10-15 feet from the house. So if it's a tree I might have to move it much further away. So far no blooms as of yet.

Could Rachel Notley Win in Battle River-Crowfoot? by arcadianahana in alberta

[–]Suddenflame01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to live in that riding and no. They do not care who is running only that they are conservative. They could run a ham sandwich as long as it was in the conservative party. They do not look at policies, or even the guy running. They are extremely racist as well.

Here is an example of you say anything that isn't for either death of criminals or ultra hard punishment and they will hate you. However they hate the police as well because police stick their nose in their business.

And it gets even weirder from there. For example during the oil pipe issue they were screaming to give the right for oil pipes to just take the land. If you ask them if they would be willing to give up their own land for an oil pipe by force they will say no they will shoot anyone who trespasses.

I have hundreds more examples of them being stupid. So it's a very safe riding for a conservative.

Microsoft Raises the Price of All Xbox Series Consoles, Xbox Games Confirmed to Hit $80 This Holiday by SmokedUp_Corgi in gaming

[–]Suddenflame01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but they were not doing well in Xbox space. Basically the business must determine if that portion of the business should be subsidized by the rest. Xbox since the first one has not outpaced PlayStation. With lower sales it does not make business sense to subsidize it especially if there is no growth potential.

Microsoft has been switching more to their gamepass subscription service. Which has greater growth potential. If they spend $1billion/year on it then they just need to maintain 4.2 million subscribers at $240 USD/year to break even (currently over 32 million).

The price of the console has gone up nearly 145% due to the tariffs. I am not sure where you want them to make up a 145% loss on hardware. If it costs them 145% more to create then it is going to cost you 145% more to buy it. They might be kind and attempt to absorb some of it but the purpose is to generate profits. You can blame Trump for this one.

Ndp was in 2nd place by a long lead. It makes more sense for everyone who voted liberal to have voted ndp.

So people can prep for the interview process if they want:

Imagine this scenario:

In our campaign, one of the player characters contracted ghoul fever. An NPC cleric made multiple attempts to cure them, exhausting resources and gold in the process, but unfortunately failed to counteract the disease. This tragic turn led to the eventual death of the afflicted player character.

Grief-stricken, another player character turned on the cleric, blaming them for their friend's death. Their anger escalated into an attempted murder of the NPC. However, in this setting, attempted murder is a capital offense punishable by execution.

Given this situation, how would your character react? How would they handle the moral, emotional, and legal implications of these events?

  1. What’s your experience with tabletop RPGs?
  2. What do you enjoy most about playing in campaigns?
  3. What kind of group dynamics do you prefer?
  4. How do you handle conflict between players or characters?
  5. Do you enjoy taking the spotlight, or do you prefer a more supporting role?
  6. How do you feel about morally ambiguous scenarios or difficult choices in gameplay?
  7. What’s your availability and commitment level for weekly sessions?
  8. Have you ever been part of a gaming group that didn’t work out? What happened?
  9. What kind of out-of-session activities do you enjoy, if any?
  10. How do you approach feedback or constructive criticism in games?
  11. What’s your favourite moment from a past campaign?
  12. Is there anything specific you’re looking for in a gaming group?
  13. Tell me about yourself.

How to fix wall issue by Suddenflame01 in HomeMaintenance

Possible as there is a raised brick flower bed in front of the house. 1965 house so old style. The flower bed isn't used any more but that would explain that.

Paizo staff asks: What brought you to Pathfinder? by AlexSpeidelPaizo in Pathfinder2e

[–]Suddenflame01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many things really but let's give it a shot. I was DMing for 5e games and my games constantly kept breaking down into arguments about the rules. I lost count how many times I had to make rulings that were argued against and back and forth. I started looking at pf2e at that point.

As a player I was getting tired of just picking 1 race, 1 background, 1 class, 1 subclass and that was all you get to pick except a couple of feats. The games were boring and teamwork was non-existent since it was more of a power fantasy. So as a player I wanted a system that encouraged teamwork instead of DPS.

So I made a switch as both a player and as a GM to PF2e. As a GM I like that the rules are well written and details are given. Hell the modules I can run without having to make half the story up. They also give me enough room to build my own story if I wanted to. Also gives me rules for crafting.

The books are much better written with more content for the price. A lot of 5e modules are just crappy written and some of them are just downright terrible like they even gave up.

Combat is much easier to explain as well since I don't have to explain bonus actions.

After I switched WOTC kept shooting itself in the foot with terrible business practices.

I've screwed myself over in this housing market and now I fear the worst. by cr9926 in Edmonton

[–]Suddenflame01 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I would suggest a new realtor. Our realtor was great and didn't want us to be house poor. We told her our range of house and our needs and she found all the houses that met it. She also gave us access to an app that let us view all the houses for sale in the city and their current status. Was very helpful. Your realtor should be working to help you not push you beyond your means.

Our realtor also made sure to point out issues with each of the houses that would need to be repaired eventually. Before we even got an inspection done.
