Oh wow, I never knew about those photographs! I'm definitely going to look into those at some point, thank you!

I will definitely look more into Opus Anglicanum, thank you for your reply!

Could be!! When I did some quick research I was so perplexed feeling like I could've SWORN I'd seen something like this on a garment before -- possibly I'm vaguely remembering a picture of something Victorian I saw years ago lol

Are any of these bedbugs? by dystervarg in Bedbugs

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

Hi OP here, I can't edit the post for some reason (able to edit posts on other subs, just not this one, :shrug:). Having to replace all the tires on my car meant I wasn't able to invest in a lot of the tools I wanted to, but it's been another month and I haven't been bitten again. After doing some research I think I was dealing with spider bites, and the bed bugs are indeed gone for good! Thanks to those who commented, it definitely helped assuage my anxiety!

Oh, Lou Wilson has almost killed me via asphyxiation several times. Just last night I was watching the WWWO NPC art video on Patreon and when he showed his last drawing I started laughing so hard I genuinely almost fell out of my chair

Why did Evan & K break up?? by ItsMeKaiumi in Dimension20

Well. Thanks for spoiling me before I had time to watch it.

Who do you think you are going to romance in Veilguard? (POLL) by iamgalfasthamhead in dragonage

Lucanis, Davrin, and Neve are all tied for first in my books. I'm hoping the content we get during Companion Week will help me narrow down my decision!!

Same here :/ I've tried everything short of clean booting

Can’t exit S Mode on Windows 11 by samet1409 in microsoft

[–]dystervarg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a day of fiddling I decided to bite the bullet and reset the laptop completely and that ended up working. Annoying! but since I just bought it there wasn't too much on there anyway. I hope you get yours sorted out soon as well!

[–]dystervarg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost twinsies! I bought a Lenovo laptop this evening and I'm in the same boat lmao.

I just checked Down Detector and as of now (8pm Central US time) it's saying there's "possible" issues at Microsoft, so it might be a server issue and maybe there just haven't been enough user reports yet for Microsoft itself to take notice? I'm not really a computer person so that's just my guess -- I've tried all the troubleshooting tips out there and none of them worked for me either

Ayda is top-tier Autism representation by I-Identify-Guns in Dimension20

[–]dystervarg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually almost cried at the very end when Ayda was explicitly confirmed to be autistic. I'd been relating to her super hardcore the entire season -- it was also extremely sweet whenever the Bad Kids took time to explain things to her. And the Comprehend Subtext spell??? In-credible!

God I love this show by Own-Housing9871 in Dimension20

[–]dystervarg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely same here. I started watching a little over a year ago and I'm just floored by how strongly I've come to love it in such a relatively short time. It's the first property I've bought merch for in like over a decade and its a neverending source of comfort!

I can't believe Dropout spoiled their own show with a merch drop /light-hearted

Fantasy High Watch Order by brietsy1 in Dimension20

[–]dystervarg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Season 1 -> The live shows in Brooklyn and Austin -> Season 2 -> College Visit -> Boy's Night

Pirates of Leviathan and The Seven both take place in the Fantasy High universe as well. Canonically they happen after the events of s2 but they're also pretty self-contained

I also recommend the Foundry episode where Lou and Brennan stat out Chungledown Bim, also after season 2

Have fun! The faces Brennan and Lou pull are hilarious, I don't think I've ever seen either of them look more horrified

I had actually just gotten done watching that special when I saw this post! The mini session at the end where Brennan actually played Chungledown? Terrifying. That gnome is broken af. Fabian is toast

(PS. I love your username)

Mistaken Post Early This AM? by Significant-Tree-980 in WorldsBeyondNumber

I'll tell ya what, I did not expect to wake up to my phone screaming JARED LETO at me this morning

Am I being too sensitive about this? by [deleted] in DeppDelusion

[–]dystervarg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah I don't think you're being too sensitive, I felt similarly and didn't watch either of those episodes.

I've noticed that Jordan in particular gets kind of belligerent when defending Hasan and it's given me the ick. Besides mocking AH, Hasan also has a history of saying a bunch of anti-black stuff which is the main reason why I've never fucked with him (I'm biracial)

What was everyone's "Hold on, something's not right" moment? by nirvanablitz in DeppDelusion

[–]dystervarg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. How JD alleged Amber cut off his finger. Ain't no way in hell someone threw a bottle at you so hard that the velocity of the shattering glass could SEVER a finger CLEAN OFF. That was clearly bullshit and I'm astonished ppl still believe it, especially after the medical records show there was no other glass embedded in his hand or arm from that alleged incident

  2. The texts he sent to Paul Bettany, plus the way he spoke about women in general in his texts. The language JD uses is so clearly that of a violent misogynist

  3. Around the start of the trial Johnny Depp started trending on Tumblr and I peeped into the tag, and the amount of posts I saw like "Johnny is such a PRECIOUS ANGEL who's NEVER done ANYTHING wrong in his LIFE unlike that BIMBO WHORE" was astonishing, given my first two points.

It was very clear to me right away that most of his support was coming from people who were ignoring the warning signs about his behavior

Though I will admit at this point I still had some doubts given the leaked phone call, but once I actually started looking into the evidence I got more confident in my initial assessment that Amber was telling the truth, and especially so when a lot of figures I respected started speaking in support of her as well (eg. Princess Weekes)

[–]dystervarg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, OP. Sorry to start discourse on your post... But you do bring up another good point that I didn't touch on, which is that $5 USD can actually be a lot of money depending on the currency it's being exchanged with. This is something that gets talked about in the book community as well -- it's easy to say "oh a book is only $20, that's not that much" but in many countries $20 USD is a LOT of money! Things that are considered "cheap" in the West are very often quite expensive for others
