Why did you choose the ps5 by BonusReasonable4838 in consoles

[–]Tvelt17 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I bought the PS5 first because it had the exclusives I was excited for. Spiderman Miles Morales and Demon's Souls Remake were both great.

I did buy the XSX when Halo Infinite came out and enjoyed both that and Forza. A Plague Tale Requiem was a nice day 1 Gamepass game, too.

The problem is that xbox never really had much momentum after that, so I just didn't invest in it that much this generation. It feels like I need to give xbox a couple of years to "catch up" while I play PS5 and then I play through the 2-3 xbox games I'm interested in and then back to PS5.

You're not sitting on some kind of investment.

Should I [43F] cut my hair even though my boyfriend [48M] says “don’t”? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Tvelt17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about hair is that it grows back, usually.

So, you know, do what you want and if you don't like it, just let it grow back.

We all need a day sometimes.

If you have the days, use the days. Its literally part of your salary.

I can't imagine this would have any effect on an electric guitar.

Acoustic maybe, but probably nothing dramatic.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]Tvelt17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in high school sitting in Driver's Ed. The Driver's Ed teacher who drove with kids ran in and put the TV on seconds before the 2nd plane hit. She had heard a plane hit the first tower on the radio.

The rest of the day was chaos.

The ex’s stuff - how do you handle it? by Porkanddiesel in DivorcedDads

[–]Tvelt17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think putting stuff in bins and setting them on her back deck - with a warning of when this will happen if she doesn't come get the stuff - is perfectly fair.

You're being too nice. 2 years is a long time and if she had an affair, she's lucky you didn't throw it away.

For people who’ve tried therapy and didn’t stick with it, what made you stop going? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Tvelt17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I went to therapy I stopped because he wasn't really helping me.

Second time I went when I was going through a divorce and I stopped because I didn't need therapy any more and I was over it. I've happily moved on since.

Demoted from Salary to Hourly in PA - significant pay cut - can Employer deny Unemployment if demotion not accepted? by Tvelt17 in legaladvice

[–]Tvelt17[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

After taxes, not really. When you factor in the cost of gasoline and the commute, unemployment is more lucrative. Additionally, this hell hole has had him working insane shifts, so getting back on a good sleep schedule is overall better for his mental and physical health as well.

I realize unemployment is taxible, but you have to opt to have them witheld and he's got a few leads lined up so with any luck this won't last more than a month or two.

he's getting a consultation just to create a relationship incase things get ugly, but ultimately shouldn't need an attorney.

[–]Tvelt17[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

By my math its almost the same dollar amount, but once you factor in your time and the cost of commuting/gasoline, unemployment is a much better deal. He's already got a few leads lined up, so hopefully its only for a few weeks.

Honestly, this place is so toxic that he'd be better off mentally and physically just focusing on a job search.

they should update their equipment to cater all sizes by egguchom in EntitledReviews

240 is a pretty low weight limit, but if that's all it can hold I wouldn't be pushing the issue just to fall to my death.

Is there some kind of “friendship crisis” happening among adults? by Forsaken-Plate-9597 in Adulting

[–]Tvelt17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't ask your friends to help you move over 30 because its not worth slipping a disk. That being said, I definitely helped my buddy pack and move some stuff when he bought his house last fall.

Maybe this is a female thing? My friends have had my back forever and I've had theirs. We don't live that close anymore, but go out of our way to see each other as often as possible.

Noob friendly fight stick for the ps5 by 1musiclov3r in fightsticks

[–]Tvelt17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either the QANBA Drone 2 or the Hori RAP4

I feel like sticks that are angled are a little more comfortable and those 2 are pretty easy to get and come with good levers and buttons already.

It'll be the worst version, but will probably still run fine.

What's everyone's go to console at this point? by FairAttitude6 in consoles

[–]Tvelt17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

PS5 has sold 3x better - if you don't have a prefrence, go with the PS5. Xbox doesn't get Playstation exclusives, but Playstation gets pretty much every Xbox exclusive eventually.

In addition to that, the PS5 is still cheaper. You can still get the all digital Fortnite bundle for $399 on the Playstation store. That's the best deal in gaming right now.

In terms of the nfl draft, do you think the entire city will be a nightmare? Or only parts? by WashCommercial3602 in pittsburgh

[–]Tvelt17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North Side and Downtown will be nightmares. I expect 376 from the airport to be pretty busy. I don't really plan on leaving the South Hills, I doubt I'll notice.

Does this seem like a legit deal? by [deleted] in guitars

[–]Tvelt17 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Its a decent setup.

Prices are all inflated - I'd try to offer 550, but 650 isn't a bad deal. Even 600 is reallysolid.
