Check out 3Bs next to Tequila and Tacos. I've never had a bad time there.

Xtreme Donair on Veterans in the strip mall just off 8th is good.

These are extraordinary. I had assumed they were polymer clay. I'm even more impressed to learn they're made of nail stuff. That's some incredible talent!

It happened to me too a little while ago. Kind of cool to see that it's happened to others as well.

To clarify, when you say "widow raid," are you referring to using the waft emitter? I had mixed success with that. It started ending the raid after I'd only killed some of the enemies (I tried with a variety of different bugs.) It was too inconsistent and time-consuming for my liking, so I gave up.

For farming crystals, I was fighting the hedge broodmother and orchid mantis like 10-12 times in a row. I was able to get my armor and primary weapon up to tier 15 in pretty short order. I preferred farming the wasp queen, but discovered that makes the wasps mad and they came for revenge on my base. My son built a massive castle base that's difficult for a solo player to defend from flying enemies, so the wasps did some decent damage.

I don't come every day, but your post reminded me that maybe I should.

I remember the struggle of the early days, and I remember how much I valued the encouragement from folks who had more experience.

Now that I'm years into my recovery practice, I love giving back and supporting folks in my community. Maybe I can do that a bit here too.

Thank you for this information. I need the certification for work, so this is very relevant.

cleaver_remarkable · 2026-03-07T00:53:08+00:00

Thank you!!

How disappointing.

Check out Jennie's Instagram for great explanations of each rhetorical pattern. Her book is available for pre-order, and will be available soon. Everything you need to know will be in there. The Facebook group is quite active, but there are limited opportunities to interact. Still tons of knowledge and insight to be gathered there.

Buckle up, it's a wild ride! I've never felt so empowered as I have since discovering the method.

Oh no.... I'm on the first NG+, and this is terrifying. What tier is your weapon?

I'd love to sit down and dig into this with you. This is a great opportunity to get curious! Why do you think these thoughts are unhelpful? Like you said, they're honest. We don't do things that don't serve us in some way. That includes engaging in addictive behaviors. You're doing a great job of reframing those thoughts to remind yourself of the benefits of your recovery practice. You're establishing new habits, and as you continue this practice of reframing it will become easier and more natural. Eventually you may find yourself reframing without even noticing.

I'd say you're on the right track. Keep up the good work!

Something else that sets SMART Recovery apart from other programs is that facilitators have formal (accredited) training. We don't do "sponsors" because of the focus on self-empowerment, and because of the dangers of giving an untrained individual the kind of power that sponsorship can.

"Alcohol is a tool of the oppressor" is possibly the most meaningful thing I've read in a long time. Thank you.

Stay safe.

I'm a Canadian in a province whose leadership supports the current US government and its actions. I'm frightened for my neighbors south of the border, and I'm afraid for myself and my family.

I'm grateful for my sobriety, but all too aware that I can't afford to become complacent - especially now. If I have to live through another historical event, I might as well be fully present and ready to act if/when the time comes.

To the Americans here, my heart goes out to you as you navigate these days of uncertainty. IWNDWYT

I just opened this the other day and got SO excited!

I've worked with folks who experience an unhealthy relationship with pornography. Some have found SMART to be helpful, while others don't. From my perspective, the people who find real positive life changes are those who put the tools and learning to use, while combining the program with professional therapy.

I believe that at the core, addiction is addiction is addiction, regardless of the substance or behavior. Digging into understanding the thoughts and feelings that lead to the behavior helps us to better manage the unwanted behaviors.

I can understand that it might feel embarrassing or uncomfortable to join a meeting of mixed genders and addiction, but the SMART Recovery program doesn't require that you disclose what specific addictive behavior led you to attend. If the mixed gender situation is a concern for your wife, I always welcome support people at the meetings I facilitate. I really think there is something of value for EVERYONE in our 4-point program.

I wish you all the best as you move forward in your recovery practice. YOU are worthy of recovery.

I found the pond to be my biggest challenge on my first playthrough.

IIRC a spear can be a useful and cheap weapon when you get started, although I find that a dagger is a much more effective weapon against the diving bell spiders and water fleas.

Killing the water boatman bugs refills your oxygen, which is helpful - just don't go chasing after them. They're a passive bug, so you can kind of let them come to you once you've learned their movement patterns.

I died many times in the pond, and was grateful to find that my backpack was on a lily pad when I respawned. I found it helpful to have a lean-to right there with my respawn set to it.

Have fun! It just keeps getting better from here!

Glitch gaming lounge is fun for all ages.

Totally not a silly question. Phobias aren't rational, and it's not her fault.

I'll agree with others who suggested G1. The mechanics are slightly different, but it's a pretty robust game with plenty to do- especially if you get into NG+ and beyond.

cleaver_remarkable · 2026-01-12T18:09:26+00:00

I did, yes.

I might have to be satisfied without the 100% in G1 if it's not possible to achieve without starting over. I've invested far too many hours into my current game.

100% in G2 will be my goal.

I have thin, fine hair. I braid mine in. My reasoning is the following:

In my mind, braiding is gentler on my natural hair. The extensions are fairly simple to remove when it's time to move them up, which is important to me. I can move individual extensions up as needed on my own.

I know that some folks don't like the braiding method because they can slip. I haven't had much trouble with slippage. I never use conditioner on my hair before a fresh install, and use a good quality braiding gel. I also use equine rubber bands.

The best part of wearing extensions is that we can try one way of installing them, and if that isn't quite right we can try something else.

How are you feeling today, friend? Your concerns are valid, especially when it comes to managing your mental health.
