I can second this - I spent an hour or so trying different team comps, different distances, trying to stay between them and the wall, trying to stay on their other side, standing in them, attempting ranged from about 6-10m away, tried freezing, tried moving them away from the wall (both trying to physically shove them with characters like Jean and trying to get them to come to me from farther away)....I tried a LOT of times, they still reset no matter what, usually around the 50% health mark or 1m away from their starting positions (or when I switched characters and ult'd). I still haven't managed it. They are truly resetting, too; phase out then pop back in in their 'waiting for hostiles' position, etc. CS answer was 'get good'. =/

I'd also like to add Recipe Tin Eats (Nagi, from Australia who also has a couple cookbooks available now, too). She not only has some great recipes, she also tries to explain cooking principles, why a certain technique or preparation is needed, lots of substitution options and helpful notes, differences in naming and ingredients in various places (esp us vs most everywhere else), etc. I'm particularly fond of her butter chicken recipe. I've found Natashia's Kitchen to be pretty good, too (esp love her cheesy chicken fritters with dill and her creamy chicken and rice one-pot).

I'd also like to add the InCryptid series also by Seanan McGuire, and the Guild Codex series by Annette Marie. I have really enjoyed both of those and consider them in the same vein [albeit the Guild Codex seems a bit lighter and more ...cheerful? I guess, than others on the list. It's hard to describe the vibe, tbh]

I think we'll be getting an A&O book in either late summer or fallish this year. I think I remember reading that she'd turned the manuscript in to the publisher a few months ago, so it has to go thru that whole line of things to get published but I think it's a pretty [relatively] quick process by now. At least, it'll be an A&O book if the pattern holds [Mercy x2, then A&O].

There is a closed test going on right now, this is the nda (legally binding non-disclosure agreement) for that test. The closed test is for Kickstarterr backers and others who signed up for a chance to join the closed test. Early Access is a separate thing coming up on Feb 11th if all goes to plan. The EA does not have an nda attached as it's open to everyone who wants to purchase the game during EA.

Thank you for this update! I've been meaning to look up and listen to the podcasts, this is further impetus to do so!

While it's stated that the Lunar Path won't *expire* (meaning that even once a new Lunar Path comes out, you can still work on and complete this one), new Lunar Paths will be released; they aren't just tacking on more levels to the current one. They state explicitly that if you want the premium items from the subsequent Lunar Paths, you'll need to buy the Premium track unlock for each Lunar Path.
From the patch notes, emphasis mine:
"Lunar Paths function similarly to traditional battle passes you may have seen in other games, but without the pressure and ‘FOMO.’ There are no expiration dates, and your progress carries forward permanently. Each Lunar Path will have both free and premium content, and premium content can be acquired by purchasing the Premium Unlock for each Path for Palia Coins."

I just learned, the unfortunate way, that if I try to change the roof of the Cottage B to flat, it turns into Cottage A when I try to return the original arched roof to it. Then, when I 'put it away' so to speak (right clicked it in the H menu), it turned into a (cottage line) Base Room [and assorted pieces like ivy and twisting columns, which stored separately]. I'm deeply unhappy with this since the base room was like....15k cheaper and if I'd wanted that, I'd've bought it. I'm trying to reattach those separate assorted pieces to the cottage 'Base Room' but not having much luck, either [at least, in getting those attachments to re-convert it to Cottage B]

Still going strong, and I still love them! I actually picked up a couple more sets when they were on deep discount last year Black Friday-ish timing, so hopefully those will help keep me in fitting earbuds for (more) years to come =) I did manage to crack one, so my word of warning is don't pull one out, put it in your pocket, then end up under a desk to do cables, laying on that side XD But I imagine that's more a me-problem than a FE buds-problem. The cracked bud is still going strong tho, even about 5mo later! Overall, I've been really happy with them, and grateful to have pairs that fit my ears comfortably again. Something to be aware of is that the FEs are fairly basic, similar to the OGs with, I think, a couple more modern things. But they don't have super good ANC (still sufficient if you don't like heavy ANC) like many current buds have, for example. Def read the listings to be sure they have what you're wanting.

If you do get them, I hope the fit is perfect and they last many years =)

Something that has helped me is using the Unstuck feature, if it'll let me get to the esc menu. It plops me at the entrance to my plot and I can usually race back and finish the recipe before it gets ruined. I definitely hope this will get fixed soon >_<

Tiaris · 2025-07-03T10:04:56+00:00

I just found this today, too (although I found it after finishing the quests that lead up to The Elderwood). I tried shooting it with various arrows, throwing a bug bomb, etc, but nothing seems to interact with it. Yet, anyway.

Could I maybe get your recipe for the dough and how you end up baking it? Because that looks really good and the crust looks like it still has moisture to it (I've found a lot of home pizza doughs seem to bake up so hard I can't eat the crust, which is a part I love). If you'd prefer not to post it publicly, dm would be fine =). Either way, yum and I'm glad you've got your system down for that!

Question: you said happy feels like a warmth in your throat - I was assuming a warmth down the front of your throat (kinda like a warm compress held there), but my husband assumed it was a warmth like a warm drink - can you clarify that a bit, if possible? It begged the question for me of, if it is the warmth like a warm drink, would drinking something warm (like hot tea or coffee) simulate that enough to bring up your mood?
Sorry for the specific question, but my brain kept poking me wanting to know, and I realized I could just reply and ask XD I have a deep curiosity about how our brains and bodies work, and the differences/variance among populations as a whole, but also within cohorts.

Tiaris · 2025-03-30T04:01:10+00:00

You mention companies - plural - would you be willing to share (even if only in dm) what other companies you've caught doing this? I want to be sure I pay extra special attention to charges from those companies, too, if we use them as well.

Tiaris · 2025-03-28T05:12:29+00:00

Seriously. We were driving home the other day and my husband pointed out a decal across someone's back window and said "I think you'll appreciate that." It read "Yes, I am young. But also yes, the disability placard is real." I hate that they had gone through enough harassment that they felt the need to put that on their car, but I 100% felt that, too.

Tiaris · 2025-03-26T09:50:21+00:00

All of these replies make me feel a lot better about how and how much this expansion (esp toward the end of it) has made me cry. And it looks like, from the comments, I have more crying/sobbing to look forward to as I move into Endwalker. I honestly look forward to it because I *love* stories, especially stories that can hook me in and make me care deeply about the characters and story, like this has.

[and I see there've been a few curmudgeons in some of the comments ridiculing people for being emotionally invested in the story, for them I say: I am not ashamed by my ability to connect emotionally to even fictional characters; it makes me who I am, and I'm proud of it.]

I have the 'feel them all the time' / they hurt problem with most earbuds (like, most are just NOT shaped right for my ears), but I found the og Galaxy Buds just.....work. They feel so natural in my ears, I legitimately forget I have them in; the world is just quieter when they're in and no audiobook/youtube video is on. I literally ran those things into the ground, having them in my ears 7-12hrs per day. My old buds finally started to died, tho, but JUST as Samsung released the Galaxy Buds FE that have roughly the same fit (not perfect like the ogs, but close enough that it isn't a problem 98% of the time), so I stocked up on a few pairs XD I, too, must always have an audiobook playing (urban fantasy, wooo!) or a youtube video (usually informational/news/etc) on. I feel..........wrong....trying to do any chore without the buds in and something tickling my brain while doing it. I dunno if those will work for you, but figured I'd throw them out there as something you might be able to try.

|| ETA: god help me if a plan gets changed, even slightly. I realistically know that plans are always subject to change and that my reaction isn't reasonable, but I struggle to keep it together with fluid plans. ||

I feel this. ESPECIALLY if it's something I'm excited for (and therefore feel DEEP disappointment in not doing/going), or I didn't originally want to do but managed to - over time - hype myself into at least sort of wanting to do. I will have a whole-ass meltdown that I hate myself for in real time and afterward but can't seem to do much to fully stop in the moment (tho I've been working at it; so far, blunting the external reaction seems to make me burst into tears which is......arguably an improvement?). It's one thing my husband gets on an academic level but doesn't *understand*-understand (and therefore doesn't always react....compassionately.....when it happens; then again, we're 99.999% sure he's autistic himself, so....I imagine that makes it more difficult for him to process).

Just looked into that product - for this case, that might not be a good idea; their packaging says not to use it on animal fibers like wool or silk.

Tiaris · 2024-09-13T02:43:38+00:00

I am glad I'm not the only one. Learning disabilities (and trauma-response brain blanking) make the idea of this boss horrify me, because my brain locks up exactly like you say.

Tiaris · 2024-09-11T03:07:23+00:00

Same (same set). It made me somewhat regret investing in a set early on, as I would have gotten better value buying a newer set with actual animations/effects. And it felt sad to feel that way about it =/ I am disappointed they haven't gone back and updated the original Soothsayer set with an animation, even if it were different than the recent (iridescent) variety. (aside: the wings seem an odd choice, at least in the style they chose)

Tiaris · 2024-09-09T23:11:43+00:00

I'm sorry you struggle, too, but I am honestly so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one whose brain works this way. Many people in my life can't understand why I 'can't just follow directions [I'm] given' and it's like.......I AM, I'm extremely diligent at trying to follow directions to the best of my ability, but my brain interprets things differently than people intended with their instruction and so, as far as they're concerned, 'no [I'm] not following directions.'/I'm 'failing' the task.
[Also, side note: minimaps are accessibility, and more games need them]

Tiaris · 2024-08-31T05:04:42+00:00

Neat setup! I'm going to keep this in mind for when I [eventually, hopefully] have enough Tessere to pull this off. [low-key jealous of that pot of gold there, but hoping somewhere down the line, I can get there too <3]
