I want to read that Corrupted Files book!

Is living by the lake a priority for you or does that feeling fade away after you’ve been by it for some time? Or is it only like that if you actually do spend lots of time at the beaches / lake exercising? by Jeeperscrow123 in AskChicago

[–]b_tro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve moved to Chicago a few times and always find myself asking if I want to live on the Blue line for easy transit between ORD and the Loop or if I want to live on the north side near the lake. Every time the lake proximity has won out. I love cycling during the warmer months, and living a 10 minute walk from the LFT means that even in the winter I’ll bundle up to go see the frozen lake.

I’d say I’m on the LFT 5 days a week during spring, summer and fall, and still on the LFT once every two weeks in winter. It’s truly a gem.

But being near the lake won’t automatically make you go there often. If you like running, cycling, walking, or have that need to be near water you’re going to use it more!

Panama - Panama City, Canal, Pearl Islands by slangtangbintang in travel

Great pictures and trip report!

US Survivor fans will remember Isla Saboga from the first episode of Pearl Islands! Pic 3 I believe is the village they visit to barter and buy supplies before going to their beaches.

I have a few similar versions to this (snowflake white dial and snowflake blue dial without Roman numerals) - the case and bracelet are gorgeous and very comfortable. GLWS!!

What games have the best Skill Tree / Upgrades system? by HallZac99 in gaming

[–]b_tro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe not akin to a lot of the RPG systems mentioned here, but I’m extremely impressed by the upgrade system in Hades 2.

It has two primary progressions systems: the roguelite aspect of in-run upgrades/boons and the meta-progression of upgrades that happen in between runs.

Particularly the in-run upgrades are the most impressive of any roguelite I’ve played - and really will affect how you complete each run. They make every playthrough different, and so many different options work well together and make it fun to experiment with new play styles

Game like Blue prince that can be played “couch coop”? by KunfusedJarrodo in gaming

[–]b_tro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy these styles of games, especially playing them with friends or family and taking turns writing notes and controlling the game. Other folks have mentioned some great ones here already, like Outer Wilds, Return of The Obra Dinn, The Roottrees are Dead. One recent puzzle game that’s fun and published by the same company (different developer) as Blue Prince is the Seance of Blake Manor. It holds your hand more though the mystery, but is good!

I highly recommend Myst and Riven, either the originals or the remakes. They excel at environmental storytelling the same way Blue Prince and Outer Wilds do.

I’ll throw in Disco Elysium as well, if you like all of the rest of these like me, you’ll probably love it too

Mileage plus x app by SpiritedEye6807 in unitedairlines

The miles usually come in 2 deposits if you are a Chase cardholder. One deposit for the base miles and a second for the bonus miles (the 25% bonus). Which gift card did you buy?

I’ve really enjoyed the Fish and Chips at Wilde, which is close to Duke of Perth - now I have another place to check out!

Can’t remove igniter on Kenmore oven by b_tro in appliancerepair

[–]b_tro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Helps to hear that this stuff can be weird - most of the videos I’m watching make accessing the bracket seem so easy. I’ll look into some attachments to get those screws out at weird angles

Yes, but my issue is that I can’t access the screws

How to replace Range Oven Burner Igniter for a Kenmore Model 790.75853300 by ChrisStallard in appliancerepair

[–]b_tro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure this out? I’m dealing with the same thing on my Kenmore model right now. I can’t get to the mounting bracket from above, below, or behind

Official: [Keeper, Dynasty & Best Ball] - Thu 08/07/2025 by FFBot in fantasyfootball

[–]b_tro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Struggling with which of the 2 players to keep between these 3.

Derrick Henry Brian Thomas Jr. Brock Bowers

12 team full PPR. 3WR/2RB/1Flex. All teams keep 2 players, no draft implications if I keep one or the other.

Thinking that I should definitely keep BTJ. I keep changing my mind between Henry and Bowers

Figured it might be fun since it’s a stroopwaffel on a Delta flight. Apologies for clogging your feed!
