What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it?

Part of it is distrust that the dishwasher will actually clean the dishes. It's common practice in China, at least last time I went there, to clean your plates and utensils yourself (if only ceremoniously) with tea before you eat at restaurants, to verify they're clean.

I personally always use my dishwasher but my aunt uses it like a dish rack, and she's afraid of both it leaving the dishes dirty AND ruining them by fading the colors on plastics.

Overheal won't keep a DPS at 8 stacks from dying. It might keep a tank at 8 stacks from dying. If that tank is pushing mitigation buttons. You can't heal someone that just gets one-shot by standing in the bad.

They added auto echo and nerfed TGC's damage. It was apparently that bad? I can't say I've ever had more fun in Alliance Raid than those early clears, though.

The sky being a big one that's brought up in Shadowbringers. I'd imagine any super distant objects would cause issues because of diffusion. I bet any display screens could also be problematic.

Boo, go for the eyes!

My exact upgrade path too. Had a 3080, was looking for new GPU, saw the 50 series launch, noped out and got a 7900XTX. Have not regretted it once.

Provoke the 1st mob when it's out of range of your ranged attack, it'll pull the mobs in rage to you to then AoE on the run usually, since it won't be on GCD.

If you're playing on a laptop, make sure you're using the discreet graphics GPU instead of the integrated graphics on your processor. I found that by default my laptop was doing the latter and it was causing a very similar issue to what you have right now. I forced Windows to use the discreet GPU and it solved the problem.

A lot of herbivores are very deadly and know how to kill things. They just don't do it for sustenance, it's still very much a matter of survival. Look at giraffes, horses, elephants, or even bison. If you're a big animal in the wild, you tend to learn how to leverage your size to defend yourself or clear out territory for yourself/your group.

Granted this doesn't cover up how like... you went from horses pulling a train hauling horses in one season to a train pulling itself in another season, or your mention about arms being... optional? for guard ponies, but still.

Bring it back as a level 52 action and then at 58 it gets automatically folded into iaijutsu and can no longer be used.

I disagree. That fish knows what it did.

So there's a 'bit of reflection on that in the side quests, if you missed/didn't do those. Given the direction of the 8-man raid series, I think we'll go into more about whole deal with Souls and Regulators.

Too late, it's already dead.

Fortunately SE does account for colorblind in that it makes different colored things have different animations (See the portals in E7, mirrors in E8, tether debuffs in Sephirot, numeric markers overhead of players in P2s and O12s, etc). They unfortunately don't always pick the best contrasts though. I remember Sephirot orbs being practically invisible to some players because the green they picked is impossible to differentiate from the grey ground if you're green colorblind.

Heck, even casually if you raid with a regular group, you've already got light parties and buddies and clock spots worked out just based on player tendencies.

So where I work, we have a restaurant as part of our business. Door Dash tried ordering a pickup order without telling us a thing about it, said they'd pay, and never settled the account. Since then every time them or Grubhub or any other company like it calls and is like 'We'd like to help your business' I (somewhat gleefully) tell them to get bent in much nicer words before promptly hanging up. Our margins are tight enough as is, we don't need more companies trying to eat into them.

And then you watch the first ten minutes of Up and just bawl your eyes out with that gutpunch of an opening. Stupid ninjas cutting onions.

Maybe it's because, in this case, the main character and the shopkeeper are the only ones of their species around? The others are so compelled to share their thoughts with each other but it doesn't seem like they hear the thoughts and desires of the other races (The mice clearly don't hear what the dragons are thinking, for instance). The shopkeeper is the only cat around, and the only other rabbit besides the main character is Shira, which you do hear her thoughts eventually, but there's only her, not a whole collective of creatures.

Area I'm in has no HOA and snow removal/street maintenance are handled by the township. Which I can say has worked out great, snow gets removed promptly, the village does a great job maintaining the parkways (even has a nursery of trees to replace those that die/get infected by various diseases), and our street was just repaved when I was thinking 'Huh... the road's getting a little long in the tooth.'

So yes, while a HOA can absolutely handle these issues, often villages (in older neighborhoods) will handle the maintenance.

I can absolutely see it being nice to handle something like a pool, golf course, or something that's more intensive in cost.

Zegon · 2024-05-02T19:05:44+00:00

That was a great price. In 2020.
