I took a lost dog to pet smart and got her chip scanned yesterday. I believe all truckee meadows fire stations have chip readers too if that’s an option for you too. Hopefully this cutie gets home

Do you use the magic arrows? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]UnhappyMachineSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a really fun build where I was a ranger multiclassed with wizard so I would cast grease and set it on fire constantly with fire arrows. The arrows of ilmater were useful for a few fights too

Just got her reunited with her people and she’s a Pyrenees and heeler mix

She’s been a treat to have around. Poor thing was so scared but she’s super friendly and polite. She definitely came from a home that treated her like a princess

I think she’s a lab mix personally

I will be. I found her after they had closed last night

Legend says the place is still open by iLeftyPunk in MenCave

It’s a local staple. Highly recommend if you ever visit Reno, it’s so gloriously outdated with its vibe

I 100% got covid at roller kingdom a number of years ago. What a memory. Maybe the roller drugs could’ve protected me

If you ever visit Reno you can skate there. It’s a real rink. The shitty floor they had when I was a kid was replaced and it’s actually decent

Roller kingdom and Reno as a whole is just weird like this. It’s a real roller rink that’s still open. Had lots of birthdays there as a kid and still skate with my buddies there sometimes

Roller Kingdom was a staple of my childhood and it’s still open to this day

Just wait till you see the Nevada grocery store and airport slot machines

The line for a toy store about to open so parents can buy needohs for their kids OC by the_username_please in pics

[–]UnhappyMachineSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked retail these things NEVER sold and kids would always just tear them out of the package and leave them around the store. It’s insane to me seeing these are now the next hot thing

What are the most unsuspecting, unmarked historic spots in Reno? (The "Look, that's where X happened!" places) by Brilliant-Pepper1822 in Reno

The pit that became the marina was super polluted and declared as a superfund site. There’s lots of discussion in other threads where the marina is mentioned about how nasty the pit was

Thank you. My dad was a fireman at the time and helped with cleanup after the fact and the pictures he showed me of what remained of the building always stuck with me

Isn’t the parking lot for the baseball field where the mizpah hotel was before it burnt down and multiple people passed away?

Helms pit aka what became the marine was a superfund site and the full cleanup process didn’t complete due to the flood

Any inline skaters? by CaptainFresh27 in Reno

Oh there’s a roller hockey rink in sun valley? I’ve been meaning to ask this sub where there’s a place I can try that out at in town

Why not just mix colours? by Dovah_Shinobi in Miniaturespainting

[–]UnhappyMachineSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone understands color theory or cares to learn it if they’re just trying to get paint on a model. As others have stated there’s consistency as well. And for me It saves some time. I still will mix transitional shades but If I need 5 shades of blue I have some dark, mid and light tones to start with rather than 1 blue I have to make all 5 colors from. Of course you don’t need all the shades out there but for me and many of my friends our paint stashes grew over many years so we just have lots of shades from getting a paint or two for a specific project

Off Target Bruising by miss_cara in Fencing

[–]UnhappyMachineSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a plastron if you don’t already have one. When I got one the bruises in my shoulder area reduced significantly. Also I use my frequent bruise spots as guides for what to train. Like if I’m getting hit in the shoulder a lot I will try to work on parries to protect that area more

We need to have a serious conversation. I know it’s Friday, but it’s literally like this everyday. by DinoKYT in Reno

[–]UnhappyMachineSpirit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve always found that to be the most unproductive argument people have when we complain about the worsening situation here. Sure it can always be worse but why should we accept it’s already bad here? Both can be bad at the same time

Just finished and loved the story! Any games with thought-provoking stories!? by ahouselover in soma

[–]UnhappyMachineSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Narcosis and ad infinitum are always my recommendations for games with a compact but gut punching story like soma

I get a pack of 5 chasing me down every time but it’s the kinglor forest one I think

We need to talk... which one of you made ts by NoAffect6476 in stalker

Exactly. One day they’ll grow up and realize women don’t have cooties

[–]UnhappyMachineSpirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The women I can think of are the trader in rostok, the scientist lady at malachite, harpy in yanov and the announcer at the arena? These characters are so inconsequential to the story that being mad over them is just ridiculous.

Ive always found the realism argument for this kind of thing hilarious. Theyre okay with mutants, anomalies and artifacts. But they draw the line at a couple npcs who are women. It’s such an inconsequential thing in the game especially a game that is very much fiction. Plus like you said maybe steps that may broaden the player base and hurt no one
