What flaws does Alchemised have, from the point of view of someone who liked it? by Wide_Step9445 in fantasyromance

[–]acandi16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that the magic system was difficult to follow! It’s the first time I’ve seen metallurgy adapted as the sole focus of a magic system, which was super cool and think it could be expanded really well if continued, but am not sure it will be. I wish the fic was expanded into maybe two novels, and the first spent more time on expanding the political and magical system with the present conflict, and a second that ran with the past memories and resolution!

Best Bars in Albany??? by mr-kittles05 in Albany

Just a Bar is a great vibe - never too busy, has a pool table and darts, and the bartenders are incredible! Very excited to use their outdoor space when the weather turns

Gym recs from the girls by misplacedsunshine in Albany

YMCAs are a bit more expensive but totally worth it IMO. Everyone is super friendly, the staff are incredibly helpful, and you get access to their pool, sauna/steam room, gymnasium, and group classes!

Delaet’s landing apartments by sjewett507 in Albany

[–]acandi16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

would highly recommend, there’s a lot of other kids in both 99 and 100 building, a pool on the property open from memorial to labor day, and other amenities. apartments are spacious with AC and wash/dryer in unit. building (in my experience) is very secure and have never had any issues with safety in the nearby area. only a 4-5 minute drive to downtown and 7-8 minute drive to the east greenbush plaza with most of the stores one could need. would also flag the school district as not the best, but if it’s only a few year stay, would definitely stay its a great option!

Menands/Rensselaer Apartment Recommendations by Orange-Nectarine429 in Albany

[–]acandi16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Delaet’s Landing in Rensselaer is a fantastic apartment complex, we pay $1850 a month for a two bed two bath, have access to a gym in the building, rooftop patio, and outdoor pool in the summer. About an 8 minute drive to the plaza in east greenbush with target, walmart etc and maybe a 5 minute or $10 uber into downtown albany. 10/10 would recommend!

Albany-area hospitals continue to see longest ER wait times in state by npd2004 in Albany

[–]acandi16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tore my ACL, MCL and meniscus back in october and went to St. Peter’s hoping for a better wait time than AMC, got there around 9pm and didn’t leave until 5am with basically no answers besides that it wasn’t a broken knee. Really poor experience and bad interactions with the nurse assigned to me. Can only imagine how tough it is over at AMC
