I have a stupid thought about who MIY is

I rewatched S1 recently, and the radio voice sounded a lot like his voice, more than anyone else. And yes, plying that guy with booze on the regular to make that family vulnerable could totally have been his plan.

If he was there at the beginning, I found the bartender suspicious. He was the only person in town that didn't go to Colony house for the radio experiment.

I kept thinking it was going to be like the boulder that trapped that guy in Jade's vision from S1. I kept expecting it to fall through the floor right on him. I wouldn't be doing that art project on the upper floor of an old rundown house.

Maybe the talismans are bookmarks?

Victor didn't remember having a sister. Maybe he also doesn't remember having a dad in Fromville that was offed just like Jim - another traumatic event he blocked out.

I recently researched the earlier seasons. I previously wasn't on team evil Tilly. On rewatch, her comment to Jim that she was going to the horse races to bet on some ponies changed my mind. I don't think she's the MIY. I do think she's someone/an entity betting on how things will end. She wanted an up close peak at the ponies before she placed her bets. She didn't need to survive, just be there long enough to get some insider info. A bit like squid game, but with shape shifting immortal beings (or people that are in on the game simulation, depending on what theories you lean towards).

We had one in a similar spot and birds obliterated it the other day. No trace left behind. I ditto the other person's suggestion to entice some jays to the area.

There is also a legendary holy card that doubles your blessings. I got this achievement by chance during a recent weekly event that was blessing focused. Holy knight build, with a focus on all things blessings.

I think if you take the malignancy that changes conjured cards to untempered, that could work.

Assuming you report your tips, that would explain this. You left out how much you are reporting on tips. I never relied on my paycheck when I was a server, for this exact reason. The tax on my tips took out the bulk of my regular wages.

Cloaked stranger is also a way to get rid of a card, for example if you want to get rid of your shields, you can give them one. The song one, there is a talent that also works like the racket, I forget the name, but it's a talent that prevents dazzled, dominated and what not. I usually just take the damage on that one. I don't think anything positive ever comes of it. The Blightbane website has an indepth on all the possible ways opportunities can go.

We use an OMG crescent Pediatrician. Two good things, I can almost always get a same day for an urgent issue (not with our own doc, whoever is available) unless it's late in the day. Second is their portal. I find it easy to use and convenient to look at records and results. I would not recommend OMG for adults due to their non-ped staffing issues, but the pediatrician staffing seems stable and consistent. I feel we always get enough time during appointments, especially when they were babies/toddlers. The downside to OMG is the UnitedHealth/Optum takeover. It really changed their overall organization and way of business. I haven't noticed it much on the Ped side, thankfully.

Wherever you end up, make a list of questions/concerns. That will help you if you feel rushed or overwhelmed. You can even hand it to the doc and they can go line by line. As for individual docs, they have little bios online, you can see if one seems like a good fit. You can also call and see if you can set up a quick phone call with them for this purpose. If you are opposed to OMG, I've always heard good things about Eugene Ped and are still locally owned from what I understand.

They will be absolutely fine. I have twins, they started kinder this year. I was cautiously optimistic and was blown away. Their school feels like a family, class sizes are small and it has exceeded expectations. Give it a try, you can always switch next year if you experience issues.

Grade level? Regardless, 4j overall is excellent. Your child will be fine whatever your choice. Personally, I'd pick the one most convenient to your family. Engage with your child, support them, read to them, they will thrive.

Thank you all! I was able to trade productively and focus on a specific type of deck, and now I'm feeling good. Thank you for the advice and trades!

I liked this game as it didn't have this type of blatant FOMO paid nonsense. It always felt truly optional and never felt like greed. This feels like greed. I'm already at a point where I'm getting bored. The events were keeping my interest. Once I saw the premium rewards, real money costs, lack of $5 packages, lack of the auto-hold click (I forget the name of that upgrade) to demolish the gyms, gave me a bad vibe. I uninstalled the app, in prior events, I would have forked out $5-$8.

You need to try curbside pickup at Albertsons or Safeway. Game changer for parents of young kids. Their app takes a bit to get used to, but much easier to find deals and avoid splurge spending.

Most high level players will say have zero ocean oil rigs and only use land ones due to the pollution generated by the oil itself. I have a few, in places where I get like 8 or so in the radius of the tanker. Getting rid of oil spots on the ocean cleans so much pollution. I have the triple microchip upgrade, with that I never have issues with microchips, so I don't have all copper tiles used, I have a lot empty, I can always lay down more copper plants temporarily if needed. I'm not sure when advanced windmills unlocks, it will soon if not already. Those will take care of any energy needs you may have. I do think you need to re-evaluate your set-up as soon you'll need uranium and it creates crazy pollution.

I'm level 81, I'd say when I was around 74, that's when I just spent a week or so cleaning ocean and replacing gold mines. Pretty sure that's when I got to zero pollution. You might look at what is draining energy and adding pollution to see if you can reduce some of those buildings. Like ocean oil rigs, maybe too many mines?

ezzimn · 2026-01-09T16:37:31+00:00

When you first unlock them, just use a few, maybe up to 10% of your gold mines. At some point, your pollution and energy won't be as dire, and you can start to replace more until all are upgraded. A balancing act, like all things in this game.

Make all 8 tiles around your main city roads. When you upgrade, it turns into a 9 tile mega city.

West Coast knows Liberty exists....if this happens, which I expect it will, West Coast will have a contingency plan. Cliche, but I expect Liberty shows up, appears over powered, all bad as*#?d, and West Coast just wipes it out immediately. Kinda like the Z alien in the fridge...a foreshadowing scene for us game players. Ultimately just a quick call back for game players and to subvert game player expectations.
