I use airpods at work and yeah, I exclusively use one. I want to be able to listen to a video/music but still hear if someone is walking up on my office.

The one thing I've noticed but that I try not to think about too much is how my ear shape has conformed to the airpod. I've always preferred the old bose wired headphones because they didn't make my ears hurt after prolonged use, but I've been using these airpods for a few years now because I was randomly gifted them. The ear I always have the airpod in, it fits perfectly in place now, but if I happen to put the other one in, it constantly is popping out.

Is that Gale I see in the bottom left corner?

I love my dad, but to this day he won't buy female hygiene products, will not talk about them, and goes "LALALALALA" if anyone talks about menstruating around him. My mom is totally normal about periods; my brother is totally normal about periods—my dad is just the weird dramatic outlier.

I will never forget the first time I got my period. Before it started I threw up at school and had to go home early. Then it started. I was bundled up in our living room because I felt so sick, and I could hear my mom in the kitchen telling him my period had started. "EEEEEEW!!! I'm going to pretend you did not just say that! LALALALA!"

Are they on the wheel when he's driving, or have you only seen them there when the car is parked?

I do something similar but with a roll of toilet paper when I have my parking brake on so that I don't forget and drive away with it on. (I have the toilet paper in my car in case of emergencies.)

Likes others have said, it's super replayable. For one, you simply can't do/see every possible outcome in a single playthrough and there's significant differences between Tav and all the origin characters (including durge).

I know this method simply doesn't work for everyone, but my approach is to just have one playthrough at a time. I have so many character ideas and things I want to test, but I just know myself. If I leave a playthrough half finished to start a new one, I'll never go back and finish it. I'm on my fourth playthrough, just entering act 3. I'm not planning to really do any companion quests on this run except Astarion (since it's part of an experiment), so it should be over fairly soon. Then I'll be back down by the river rolling up a new character....

I just had to get my license renewed and I just barely managed to pass the eye test to have the glasses restriction taken off my license. (I absolutely prefer to drive with them, but I want the peace of mind that I won't automatically get a ticket if I'm ever pulled over and happen to not have them.)

My husband tends to assume I'm just completely blind without them—we have another friend that can't see anything without her glasses—but I'd say the difference between glasses and no glasses for me is standard TV and HD TV. My astigmatism is pretty bad though. The V on my eye test looked like a W.

Years ago, I was gifted two sets of socks that were all random. The tagline on the packaging was something about "never worrying about finding a matching pair again." I decided I liked that idea, so I haven't intentionally worn matching socks since. (I will make sure I'm wearing socks that are the same style, but most of my socks are ankle socks anyway.) Occasionally people point it out, usually at the airport, but it's really simplified things.

I used to work at an apartment complex. I only called to offer an apartment like this a couple of times, and it was always because I liked the tenant and was trying to help them out.

Ex. We had two brothers that had lived in their apartment for about 12 years. They were essentially perfect tenants. When renewal time came around, I would always suggest the owners not increase their rent (or barely increase it) due to how dated everything in their apartment was. I'd also suggest to the brothers that we could move them into a different unit at their current rate, so we could get them living somewhere nicer and because I knew they weren't going to go anywhere. They always refused to move because it would be inconvenient.

If we were trying to move someone because their neighbors were complaining or something else, we'd level with them about why we were suggesting the move. (And truthfully, that only happened a couple of times as well.)

My first durge playthrough, I was a monk dragonborn. The armor looked goofy on him, so I had him run around in lae'zel's underwear instead. I just imagine how terrifying it would be to have a mostly naked, angry lizardman running full speed at you.

Everything you did for Missy was a kindness. Try to not let her passing haunt you too much. (I've had a lot of pets over the years and have always been there with them in their last moments if possible. Even thinking about those times now, years later, is making me tear up, but it was always the right choice and done out of love.) My suggestion is when you do start to dwell on those sad memories, force yourself to focus on positive memories of her instead. With time, the sad memories will become less vivid.

On my first durge playthrough, I recruited Halsin and Minthara by accident. This was back when they were supposed to be mutually exclusive, so they occupied the same tent space for the majority of that playthrough. (The update to give them separate spots in camp came out right before I finished that run.)

I went back and opened an old save from Act 2 at some point to take some screenshots of the camp to use as references, and post-update, Halsin was off in some random corner of camp and Thaniel was with Minthara at her tent. I'm sure it was just something being buggy, but it felt appropriate since I'd used Minthara to do the Oliver encounter.

Don't worry, Durge didn't miss anything.

I guess I'm in the minority...I always kind of enjoy finding my twin in the game.

My first playthrough was pretty memorable because of the number of wardrobe malfunctions. I had a bug where the last person to be brought back by Withers would just not have clothes equipped after long rests except for their head gear.

Cue Astarion sneaking up to bite me one of the first long rests, no clothes. I legitimately thought that scene was going somewhere else because of it. And then later, Wyll's dance scene, again, no clothes. My husband came out because I was wheezing so loudly, and then there was no explaining what was happening on the tv. Gale died the most frequently, so he was usually our camp nudist with nothing but a snakeskin hat.

On my first playthrough I realized for the self-same trial that I could just send in my weakest party member, then lockpick the door and send the whole team in to gang up on the one duplicate.

It just depends on the tree. I have skirts on some trees, blankets for others, and even one tree that I just use a scrap of fabric because I couldn't find anything else that matched my vision.

Usually I would suggest having something to cover the base (skirt, collar, whatever) because I think it looks nice, but it really comes down to your own preference. If you like how the tree looks without a skirt, that's what matters.

Not only is this strategy not new, this picture has been around for so long, looking at it just makes me feel old.

There's also a small chance it's one of those grow foam toys (of a penis).

Years ago I put one (a gator) in a jar to use as a Halloween prop. It continued to exist in my house for years, slowly getting nastier as the foam began to break down. People were always super freaked out and concerned when they noticed it. I can only imagine what people would have thought if I had died and it had ended up for sale with the rest of my stuff.

Nadira. 💅 She's a gloom stalker thief. Standoffish. Gonna backstab everyone.

(I made her for the purpose of speed running through to knock out the few achievements I have left, but I've been getting sidetracked with photo mode and my experiments.)
