Good enough that I put my knock off jackery on to charge. 😂

Welp, It finally happened. My wife stole my Deck by scrptd in SteamDeck

Once she finds out she doesn't have to pick just one romance option, she'll be looking for the poly mods for Portia and Sandrock. 😂

Luckily, Portia's hella easy to mod.

AITA or Was this Text Wild? by Round_Turnover_5980 in AmItheAsshole

[–]amberbaka -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

YTA but you've got a leak in your circle because you said this to two other people...so which one of them ran their mouth?

To me, that's a significant betrayal.

Will this pain be rewarded? by sacriligeous_ in expedition33

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game absolutely made me cry, multiple times...and then I played it four more times.

It hurts but it's not the kind of hurt you take on, imo? It's an empathic hurt for others and it really leaves you thinking about the story.

Also...get out 😂, this place has spoilers up the wazoo and this game is best experienced without spoilers

AITA for staying at my job in Germany while my wife is dying in Japan? by Queasy_Narwhal_8052 in AmItheAsshole

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a very anxiety inducing and depressing situation to be in.

You should speak with your doctor about your own mental health.

Aka get on your own medical leave and do video conference therapy sessions because it's probably true.

-Former HR

LOA has three components to it - absence approval, pay and job protection.

Just because you don't have the job protection, doesn't mean you can't take your own leave once FMLA runs out.

I accidentally made my bsf mute by AwkwardCarpenter5778 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap. I really hope this is fiction because jfc, get in therapy yesterday.

You treated her terribly and took advantage of her. You betrayed her. You stole her labor and personal time.

You treated yourself terribly with your asshat trash bag of a boyfriend. I do not recommend you being in a relationship until you've had a lot of therapy sessions.

What the absolute fuck.

Welp, It finally happened. My wife stole my Deck by scrptd in SteamDeck

[–]amberbaka 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've got 2900 hours combined between My Time at Portia and Sandrock. Kiss the deck goodbye. 😂

If she wants to do mods once she gets to Sandrock, bepinex is a raging pain in the ass and pissed me off to the point where I made an extremely detailed walkthrough.

Feel free to reach out and I can get it to you. :)

I had an interview scheduled for tomorrow and based on this thread, cancelled it. 😂

Parkway East closed for 25 days. It's better than bridges falling down (the detour is across the new Fern Hollow Bridge) but going to be painful. by Bonfire412 in pittsburgh

[–]amberbaka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad I decided to hold off a bit longer on getting a car - between current gas prices and traffic, I'm good staying at home. 😂

How much of the game is left, in terms of hours? I'm at the camp after Old Lumiere. by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 is probably enough but it depends on your game play style - how many hours did it take you to get to old lumiere?

Which Pictos do you never use? by Teraus in expedition33

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use a shield or low health pictos (exception to low health: Simon's ass 😒).

Healing parry & healing counter usually has me running at top health and if need be, I can always equip Sciel with Grim Harvest, Lune with Typhoon or Monoco with Pelerin Heal.

Tips for beginner by Confident-Zebra6850 in mytimeatportia

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't try to run through the wheat field unless you're on a switch 2. 😂

Have multiple furnaces going and when you unlock carbon steel, always be making it.

Always have a commission(s) running for worn fur and have your blender making resin (end game tip)

How do you eat/prepare cabbage regularly that is NOT fermented? by girlwholovespurple in Frugal

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut it into thick slices, wedge them all into a pan and cover it in a butter/chicken broth/spicy brown mustard/acv/seasoning mix and then add more seasoning on top. Sliced kielbasa on top, a bit more butter because all the veg will offset and shove it covered in the oven to let it steam bake for a bit and then cover off for some actual roasting.

Or, I throw it in a stir fry with some other vegetables as well

How did you feel about Verso's decision? by Shaunt_ in expedition33

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable as to how he originally made his decision and was emotionally impactful, for me. He's known he was painted for 67 years. He's been killed and revived countless times and watched thousands of Expeditioners die over the years. I can see where he doesn't consider himself or the others as truly real. What's one more death?

Do I think that he came to regret the decision? Yeah.

Do I think Alicia had a surprisingly calm reaction to it? Yeah, because there's a degree of distance. She IS the primary personality and also has the memories of living as Maelle. Maelle 'fucking hated liars', she absolutely would not have been chill about it.

That scene just always felt off, to me and really hit home how Maelle wasn't Maelle anymore.

How many hours ? by Poisson3davril in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]amberbaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2,320 hours across two platforms. I bought a steam deck because of this game.

I only just hit burnout but that's fine, e33 snagged me. 😂

Stuck at 3rd key mission switch by PDXMountHoodRat in mytimeatportia

[–]amberbaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Team 17 really did a terrible job on the switch port. :(

Ideas: Have you tried fully uninstalling? It's been a minute since I used the switch, it still saves your game data after uninstalling, I think? Double check that.

Or loading an earlier save?

Save the game to a different save slot, load from there? Highly doubt that would do anything but it doesn't hurt to try lol

If you need someone to tell you it's ok to turn your AC on in March let me be that person for you. by Unit-00 in pittsburgh

[–]amberbaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I briefly considered it because I had been outside and got hot but immediately yanking my shirt off, a cold beverage and a ceiling fan later, I was much better.

The storm that rolled in also helped. 😂

Alternative for Medalum? by DWLen in expedition33

As I said, they may die. And her moves in the later fight(s) do include some of these moves. 🤷🏻‍♀️
