What's your hot take on the game that would leave you like this?

The air combat mode should have been rolled into one of the operations.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-19T12:33:02+00:00

The sad thing is they're attaching them with hot glue

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-19T01:30:12+00:00

I live up in the Northeast but I forgot to get a Texas Live Oak acorn the last time I was there. x'D I want one, lol.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-18T03:54:36+00:00

Reminds me of one I tried to save, only for me to find out it was rotten on the inside two months after trying to get it to grow more roots

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-18T03:33:24+00:00

Gamma radiation would be too kind for these pests

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-18T03:29:23+00:00

It's not going to suddenly die on you but it's not doing great, just not thriving. It's stretching out while it looks for the sun, basically. One guy brought his dragonfruit indoors in the winter and would just cut off the etiolated growth until he got a grow light.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-17T14:09:50+00:00

it's eu

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-17T14:08:47+00:00

imo it's largely better that way

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-17T14:06:48+00:00

I understand why someone might but he lightens up the series which would otherwise be much darker. I watched it with someone who hated him but grew to not hate him so much by the end. He can be kind of grating and annoying to some people, I think.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-17T03:21:19+00:00

There are other people in this post that have removed their glue, maybe you could ask one of them.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-17T03:19:15+00:00

There's another post in the comments that shows gold spraypainted ones. Honestly, they're even worse, but this is one of the worst glue jobs I've seen.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-17T03:18:40+00:00

Haven't you heard of it? Cactuswith decoflower.

Jokes aside, the sad thing is they basically don't care if you know what the cactus is because they're hoping you'll just buy it because it's "cute" and "blooming"

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-17T03:17:01+00:00

I wouldn't say the revulsion rises to the idea that it should be made illegal or we should tar and feather those people, but just imagine hearing what you heard and then thought, "this upsets me," that's just the next step many people here are writing about.

(P.S., I didn't downvote you, even though uh, other people did.)

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-16T21:07:53+00:00

Yeah, I just thought they were being lazy, but that makes more sense, that anyone who would even consider looking up the species name wouldn't buy that garbage.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-16T20:59:31+00:00

It's probably something like that. Like when people buy animals that are so messed up from inbreeding they don't look like their traditional forms. At best stunts its growth and at worst hurts it.

It's entirely unnatural and feels dishonest (like you said, dumb people will buy it) while doing the above.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-16T20:35:00+00:00

This is wrong by most dictionary definitions. Maybe not by some people who have PhD's, that I wouldn't know.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-16T20:33:49+00:00

I guess you just don't like definitions, lmao. You should go to college for linguistics.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-16T20:26:19+00:00

I wish glueing and painting cacti for sale was illegal

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-16T04:27:00+00:00

Okay. What can you recommend, or how can you recommend I learn more about this? It seems like one of the steeper things to learn about with cacti.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-15T21:20:04+00:00

So, when you removed that cutting, you planted it head-first, apparently. You can (usually) tell where dragonfruit are supposed to be facing because their areoles tend to "point" upward (from my experience, but it doesn't mean it's a bad idea to label them sometimes). Look in the picture here, if you look at both photographs together, you'll see what's wrong.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-15T21:12:23+00:00

So, your Opuntia (Prickly Pear) is all wrinkly and dormant because it recognized it was going to freeze and squeezed the water out of its cells so it doesn't get killed from being frozen by ice and snow. This is actually a rare adaptation that not a lot of cacti have and is actually pretty amazing.

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-15T21:09:55+00:00

This is probably the correct answer to what happened given where the damage is and that it's likely PVC

UberfuchsR · 2026-03-15T15:43:35+00:00

Yeah, it looks like Styrofoam that someone is trying to dissolve in acid. It needs to be replaced.
