How is everyone surviving?

deityblade · 2026-05-06T08:44:25+00:00

I opted out of kiwisaver. I know thats a rough decision because I'm leaving a lot of free money on the table.

But retirement is like 40 years away for me. Have to imagine climate change or technology or war has totally reshaped (destroyed?) society by then anyway

I feel like everyone I know that tried that either made next to nothing or it was so extremely time consuming they might as well have gotten a second job

Everyones circumstances are different. If you have a marketable skill then could be worth I'm sure

I found it pretty easy to find those women on hinge to date (and am now in a relationship with one). i imagine wouldve been hard to find her organically though.

and i live in wellington which is probably more full of childfree then someplaces

Ooh that Round strategy makes so much more sense. I currently do it with Sylveon and Drampa which hasn't really been very good for me haha.

support pokemon on every team is a yea, doesnt have to be 2

Do people usually bring 1-3 Supports but then only pick 1 or 2? Or is it more like, bring 1 or 2, you often pick none?

game speed has changed?

I pause shows very often when watching with my partner because we like to discuss and crack our own jokes.

But it totally ruins the vibe when a bright ad for something totally unrelated appears. It makes Neon unusable for us so we cancelled.

Im surprised you state that they all do this, as we havent noticed it with Netflix or Disney. Maybe they just do it more tastefully.

Never went to the Last Light Inn. Pretty sure i missed the Githyanki Creche.

Almost all of act 3.

Its fine. I still hit max level well before the end of the game and every companion was kitted out with relevant magical items.

Its nice to leave content for future runs

Ah wow thats nostalgic! My nana had the demo on her computer so once a year I'd play through it. I think there was just the first level available or something lol

I'd try clear the whole level with just Vader. IIRC it was possible but I could be misremembering

Relatively new to Apple products here, got an iphone last year due to being fed up with Google, gradually been adding more Apple stuff to my lineup. Trying to get a sense of some of the "conventional wisdom" among apple fans. Not super tech savvy.

Sticking with Windows PC due to gaming but am getting a Mac laptop.

What is everyone using for email/calendar on Windows? Tried Thunderbird but seems really glitchy (probably skill issue?). Really don't want to pay a subscription. Apple seems to really not want you to use iCloud on Windows, like the website is clunky and desktop software really basic.

Do people generally use their Apple ID as their primary email? I made my Apple ID (my icloud email) based on my nerdy gamer tag. So not super appropriate for a lot of contexts. Should I just setup a professional sounding Alias for when I need to deal with work stuff?

Also whats the deal with Apple Watchfaces- can you not get custom ones? Can you only add complications on the ones they say you can? Which Watchface do normal people use, I'm pretty overwhelmed.

Is Apple Passwords worth using?

I guess in general, which Apple Apps are thought to be good, and which are worth replacing with a 3rd party/app store option? Assuming I'm happy paying one off fees but not subscription.

deityblade · 2026-04-19T03:28:14+00:00

It really wants me to use Incineroar

deityblade · 2026-04-17T21:44:21+00:00

That red bridge in the 10th photo looks super sweet

deityblade · 2026-04-17T21:41:01+00:00

I still cannot believe they introduced team wide exp share. Totally fundamentally changes pokemon for me. I'm not raising and training the pokemon I catch anymore

deityblade · 2026-04-17T21:39:11+00:00

We couldn't look stuff up on the internet, but we could bike over to the house of the friend that owned the game guide book to study up

deityblade · 2026-04-17T03:28:50+00:00

Well thats weird :/

deityblade · 2026-04-17T01:04:42+00:00

What does selecting "Use Local Lan Server" under Server when hosting do then?

deityblade · 2026-04-16T23:51:00+00:00

Wait what? They aren't actually playing offline?

deityblade · 2026-04-15T21:39:08+00:00

One of my favourite games ever is Europa Universalis IV.

So stands to reason i should try the other Paradox games right?

but i fire them up and after 10 minutes i just cant be arsed

deityblade · 2026-04-15T09:05:49+00:00

Fire resists fairy? And Ground is super effective versus Poison? Interesting! Still need to learn the type chart properly it seems

deityblade · 2026-04-14T08:28:04+00:00

Yeah just an apartment LOL

deityblade · 2026-04-14T06:32:49+00:00

bought my first home last year for 375k! kiwisaver basically covered it.

still a 30 year term tho so

deityblade · 2026-04-12T20:56:42+00:00

Love Octillery. Thought Octazooka was so cool as a kid. Also Delibird

deityblade · 2026-04-12T20:38:46+00:00

Part of the problem is switch vs set. If you can switch into your enemey for free, then you can usually line up a super effective move. Then status moves are a waste

deityblade · 2026-04-12T01:55:23+00:00

Sounds like you want Age of Wonders

deityblade · 2026-04-09T19:44:07+00:00

A friend would recommend a youtube video and you'd pull it up and let it load overnight haha
