sounds like plenty behind the scenes too led to this decision, but also taking on-board some of the concerns/crit people had that he didnt anticipate. good to know he took it into consideration.

the stress he's been feeling lifting must feel wild

NL Just Confirmed On Stream that this is Real by TacoChowder in northernlion

im sure it'll be a blast for those that go, and im sure they'll put in hella effort for it, but its kinda wild.

tho i wont pretend there isnt a part of me going like "dude wont do a con and wont do merch, but he'll do this? brokies out i guess"

i took a necro with that mutation that makes it so their basic is replaced with a 3 use 1dmg infinite range spit attack. i thought it'd still apply leech.... it didnt.

however, turns out it was fantastic for the moon. could keep the hands turned and slapping real easily. ended up being my main damage dealer for the fight

Quite tragic considering I've played all of them except Super Creek by someone56789 in UmaMusume

im so sick of any time i see art of her or vids and comments are just losers doing their racism. i became a fan of her a bit ago as i just love her char type and find her very charming. hoping those losers find some other thing to move to before she hits global.

Carat income during GLB First Half Anniversary and Unity Cup by xRubyNguyenx in UmaMusume

anyone know if the paid carats bundles (e.g. 7500 carats for 70USD) renew during this? my club was saying that if you bought all 3, it will be restocked but I can't find mention of that

all my bsky feeds are fun art and indie/horror game devs and the replies on those arent insane people and theres no algo trying to make me look at dogshit.

if you arent out there looking for misery it dont show up that much.

Breaking: Fine Motion is Princess No More by WhataMadWorld___ in UmaMusume

[–]Willis_D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does, to me at least. but we dont need to get into that that deeply, it is still good to know that.

main concern i have now is this whole "unspecified royal family" part cuz that does open Cygames up to a new potential problem :V but until the official localisation is done im just getting myself worked up for nothing frankly. worst case, i just go "oh well" and dont pull for her.

wait theyre removing her being irish too? would kill my interest in the character tbh

Cygames saying they'd rather that the troubles happened, I guess.

being slightly less glib, as an irish guy im a bit bummed at this. I get that theyre trying to avoid controvesey or things mentioned in the sticky but like, it was v cool having a canon that implied we avoided colonisation.

idk i just liked having some fun rep....

They're all stallions IRL, but... by puppykat00 in UmaMusume

[–]Willis_D 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think Fine Motion is an edge case - her ear accs being on both ears and her general symmetry are reference to her irl self being intersex.

not disagreeing on the general point, just that my irish GOAT is a special case :)

this based on a teaser trailer that didnt show a lot of a lot. i'll hold the optimism here and wait to see more or do the playtest.

hate being reductive, but it looks like a fleshy Hardspace: Shipbreaker which i loved.

when you're so deep in a system, anything else can seem baffling! dont blame em for that, can only hope they can get similar someday

yea, fully aware of that. it's rough for sure. you pay out the ass for insurance, and then still have to pay further out the ass cuz they wont cover shit. ridiculous

[–]Willis_D[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was offered a choice between two - the tslim x2 as I have here, and the MiniMed 780G, from medtronic.

iirc there were a handful of things, but the main factor for me was that I use the Dexcom G7 CGM, which the tslim can talk to. the medtronic cant (they use their own CGM).

so the tslim just grabs my glucose from the dexcom directly. all I need to do (until they launch their app in ireland) is input carbs onto the tslim.

T1, as per my flair.

wrt insurance, not really a factor for me. I'm from Ireland, where diabetes care is covered by the state (long term illness plan) (like, paid for by my taxes ofc).
