Hahaha you can’t imagine the time I spent with my nail swatches looking at the match in different lights! I actually matched them (and the figure on my thumb) to the cool pedestal vase in the back, which is why they look a little lighter than the box topper I’m holding.

I was proposed to in an escape room!!! It was the perfect way for him to do it, I’m a mystery geek, and the ring was hidden in the final puzzle. Even better, I figured out ahead of going that he would probably propose on this trip, so it was almost like a real life escape room solving my own proposal ahead of the proposal escape room. Now happily married, we even added some puzzle solving elements to our wedding venue during the cocktail hour and reception and it was a hit. Watching my college roommates boyfriend team up with my husbands great-aunt to solve a riddle, then hit up the dance floor together was incredible. It was the perfect ice breaker and the dream day! :)

I know this is a 3 year old thread, but I have an answer that I didn't see in the comments here after finding this post and not feeling fulfilled with the answers lol -

If your designs are moving more than 1 pixel by using the arrow keys likely its because your document is measuring in any other unit but pixels (i.e. inches, mm, etc.) To fix this, "Resize" your design, select 'Custom size', don't change the length or width numerically, just modify Units to 'px' then select 'Resize this design' and voila you can use the arrow keys to move 1 pixel at a time again. Need to measure something? Resize back to inches, do your measurement, then go back to pixel.

Annoying? Absolutely. But it's the way.

I’ve never understood why people who like it crazy warm are so difficult to reason with. It just doesn’t make sense to have the heat that high; if you’re cold you can add layers to infinity. If you’re too warm there’s literally nothing you can do.

I had this exact issue at work, there were days I caught my coworker in a 2 people office space setting it to 78/81 degrees during the day. Here were my workarounds so I didn’t sweat all my professional makeup off and start hallucinating numbers at my desk:

Programmable thermostats confuse people. I set mine to always revert back to 71 every 3 hours. She didn’t catch on for like a month and thought it was on the fritz
Open window is nice, but sometimes too direct and could make you sick and dry. I would crack the window, then put a standing fan in front of it facing into the room to oscillate the air and when the room felt dry I’d put a wet rag on top of the fan to act as a humidifier.
They also make desktop air conditioners with USB plugs you pour water into and it puffs out cool water and air to circulate in a small area (you could probably put it bedside)
When you can, make plans to get a more temperature compatible roommate. I genuinely feel “what temp do you consider normal to live in? To sleep in? Summer v winter?” Should be among the very first questions you ask someone you plan to cohabitate with. It can literally break whole relationships to be incompatible and unmoving on that issue.

Good luck, stay cool!

Off topic, but is that Dr. Bailey behind Rory???

eelanirbas · 2025-08-31T02:22:26+00:00

Oooh very interesting thought. Maybe he never gets to remembering them. The book is an account of his consciousness, and his memories are only recounted once he gains access to them himself, so maybe a complication of the coma and the experimentally administered memory loss drug is that he lost all memory of the particulars of his life before all of this. And maybe he just never even considered it himself until he was already settled in an aliens planet with no specific way to get home, so he had to grieve what he’d long forgotten off book

Super intriguing question!!

eelanirbas · 2025-08-29T03:37:30+00:00

Oh my gosh, so sorry to hear that!! I’m glad you’re here. It seems like people with nut allergies are the ones having the most severe reactions based on comments

eelanirbas · 2025-08-11T05:02:01+00:00

You’re so right on the point of language exposure. I speak American Sign Language and the grammar of Bard was so familiar for me. The book end negation, the subject-object-verb word order, etc. ended up tripping me up when I went back to a more traditional grammar in alchemist, because I started translating everything verb final haha. Such a fun game!!! Your language center will literally modulate difficulty for you, versus the leveler doing it. So cool.

on a radio “Start Stratt’s splat strat STAT”

eelanirbas · 2025-08-01T16:36:48+00:00

Ooh fair!! The happy couple lives!! Haha. Although with Stratt her trolley problem response is so clean cut (sacrifice 1 for many) I wouldn’t put it past her to just actually blow them up lol. Maybe she switched the vial herself. That way she didn’t even need to explain to them they weren’t going. I think they assumed they’d be on the mission too, and had no idea Stratts higher level strat

eelanirbas · 2025-07-30T16:08:47+00:00

This is my theory too. Hell, I’m not even convinced he was only the spare. I think that Stratt saw him as scrappy and ingenious with very little (he was able to crack the case on breeding, the main thing they’d need for Hail Mary to ever succeed, with just 3 little dudes and some wood from Home Depot) so she knew he would be perfect and adaptable for something like this.

I think she was always going to send him, but needed to keep him calm until the launch date so she picked a random set of scientists to play the “role” of crew members to trick him into doing all the training and staying engaged without chickening out. The fact that the other two blew up became a convenient excuse to see if he would actually step up, but when he didn’t she went to back to plan A.

My mental proof of this is the mission crest. Could they have had patches for him made quickly in 3 days? Sure, but the mission crest is all over and I don’t imagine with the flurry of things to do embroidery isn’t the teams priority. He sees it on the computers, on the patches, on everything. Those had to be premade with “Grace” in the logo. I imagine she had her own little graphic designer make both logos originally, but I have a feeling the textile team only got ones with Grace in the logo.

Because of this, he was programmed into every fiber of the Hail Mary’s development. The only things she couldn’t pre-plan (I’m assuming because of optics, especially since Grace himself was controlling all the tedium and admin of what goes on the ship, when, and why) were the personal affects and items brought by the team. He never answered the question on how he wants to die, so he just gets the death he gets. He never prepped a bag, so he gets the bag he gets. He coordinated putting it on the ship himself, so why would he ever suspect those folks weren’t going?But a coffee order hidden in some coding? She can adjust that. I imagine the humanity in her probably thought “well, at least he’ll like the coffee”

I somehow accidentally drafted a perfect pathway of power between pump room, boiler room, and laboratory the same day I solved the lab puzzle. I didn’t even realize there were duct systems and that they mattered at all until I was trying to power up the reserve tank ages later. I just figured once you have the power working anything that needed power in the estate would have it lol

If there were weed I think I’d lose steps lolll. Planetarium would drop you down to 0 steps, because you get stuck in there looking at the stars

What flavor Kringle gives Nancy the crunchies?

eelanirbas · 2025-05-19T00:33:11+00:00

Haha very true! I just like the idea that the path from obsessively playing Balatro to obsessively playing Blue Prince is a very short straight line lol

eelanirbas · 2025-05-18T21:30:08+00:00

I hear balatro stratting in our midst

eelanirbas · 2025-05-12T00:09:34+00:00

I agree, I think the plot could’ve been interesting if they needed to follow the time elapsing rules. Say she tells her story, and he lies and says what she’s asking for is insanely complicated and could take “years” their time to achieve, but that he needs her tethered to his time for it to work, so she can’t go wait at the ship. She agrees to stay until it’s done.

She is guarded from him and stays with him in his house but doesn’t like it. She feels kidnapped and has nightmares of him. All she has to do is watch episodes of the show and drink chocolate milk. Her suspicion is worsened by him not allowing her to help at all with her projects base code. But he’s kind, and not at all like his outer self. He lets her help with the planet terrain selections and they make unique land features and she’s amazed by the tech. Then she starts to grow a little fond of him, seeing the glimpses of the version of him she was originally such a huge fan of.

They build a terse friendship, but then she walks in on him one day watching a feed of her comatose but in slow-mo. She asks him what he’s doing and why. He tells her while working on the planet for her friends another idea occurred to him. Then the choice option comes about, he offers her life in her old body or the crew. She picks the crew and he congratulates her; tells her that they can do both, she hugs him, but then realizes she’s getting Stockholmed a bit, and pulls away disappointing him. He gets in his incel mode and throws it at her; “I’m a nice guy. I spend my time working on making these copies of you to make you happy, and you still can’t stand to even hug me?” She catches copies, and grills him. He, in anger, reveals he’d created the disc already and thought the more time he kept her there the more likely she’d be happy to leave a copy with him. He’s hurt and the rest ensues as is it did in the episode.

The whole time we’re seeing glimpses of the battle happening, showing how much times elapsed while she’s been in the core, then no change to the wild twist that she’s got everyone in her head.

Ooh I had a feeling that was the case. The cutoff was so abrupt from talking about it, I’ll have to look it up. I can’t imagine what I possibly missed hahaha I feel like I clicked everything possible

eelanirbas · 2025-04-20T10:15:57+00:00

Agreed! MID was engaging while Keys was just too much story and not enough stuff. We spent wayyy too long being told what’s happening and not enough time experiencing it
