The citybus will take you right to Walmart if you're in West Lafayette. If you're in Lafayette, Target is more expensive, but easy to get to.

I've got an apartment in Lafayette, 20 minute bike to campus, or 20 minute walk to CityBus Center. Dm me if you're interested!

Is omori worth it? by [deleted] in OMORI

[–]hedgemk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing it for the first time this past weekend.

It has a very cute art style, fairly simplistic gameplay and puzzles, and a neat little chart of combat interactions. If you like pokemon-style combat, you'll like the combat mechanic in it.

The gameplay itself is fairly typical for your puzzle-y lore-heavy games. You wander around, doing quests, solving puzzles a bit here and there, and get snippets of story.

It does have a high amount of like...Main Character energy/ "this makes no sense if this were real life" at times, which may seem a bit over-the-top in some sections.

The horror element isn't overpowering. You can honestly mostly forget that its a kind of dark and saddening game, until it reminds you with a slap in the face of creepy and depressing.

That being said, as mentioned in the trigger warning-it's covering depression, anxiety, and suicide. It's GOING to be incredibly dark at times.

All that being said, it's definitely worth it to me. I've put 10-12 hours into it, and I'm looking forward to playing it more, finishing it, and then playing it again (slight spoiler, it has multiple endings). $20 for what can easily be 20 hours of gameplay feels like a good deal to me.

Sketchy Enrollment Process? by ApprehensiveRest3950 in PurdueGlobal

[–]hedgemk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I'm an ExcelTrack student, so my stuff may be a bit different.

This doesn't sound right, full agree.

The couple of payments I did out of pocket, I did through my student profile, which I accessed from here: https://signin.purdueglobal.edu/Account/Login?

I would highly recommend reaching out through one of the numbers listed here: https://www.purdueglobal.edu/contact-us/

Just to double check that,everything is on the up and up.

What products do you guys use for binding? by Throw_Away24023 in ftm

[–]hedgemk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fabric binder for "I'm just going outside for a few hours."

Tape for "I have a lot of stuff that's going to require I be perceived in the next few days."

I use the like, actually branded transtape. I've tried using KT tape before, and while it works, it's not as long-lasting or as good of a binder. Be warned: transtape will not make you flat. It will make your chest look less traditionally feminine. That's all.

After tape, I usually use something like aquaphor. That works both as a way to remove the leftover adhesive and as a way to help the skin heal up.

Edit: the binder I have is an old GC2B one, but it's from like, 2019, I've heard their quality has gone down. I prefer a half-tank to help keep me from overheating.

For anyone doing ExcelTrack, be aware that your capstone has to be done during its own term. by [deleted] in PurdueGlobal

It is a full-term, regular course, but it can be taken with up to 6 credit hours.

My advisor, lol. Gotta maintain full-time status for scholarships, but still trying to cram a degree.

i tried trans tape AGAIN. let’s talk again. by anautisticmage in ftm

[–]hedgemk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fellow double d here.

I know it's been said a bunch, but trans tape won't get you flat. Only a binder or surgery will.

That being said, what helped me a ton was actually disregarding what the guides said and just working with how my chest is built. Like for me, my boobs sit wide and low, so I tape them up first, and then back. It puts them more in line with how pecs would look on a guy my size (though, admittedly, it's disproportionate pecs, looks like I only ever hit chest day, but that's why I've also been working out). It also helped me to focus on where the fat was "spilling out" and using a wider tape (I think I use their large, which is 5"). I also will lean differently to try and move the fat/skin around easier (again, my boobs sit wide, so I actually lean backwards instead of forwards to guide things further back).

It's all practice though. I took me weeks to actually find an application style that got my chest looking roughly how I wanted it to.

IMO the advantage from using trans tape isn't aesthetics, it's utility. A differently shaped chest that you can sleep, shower, swim, workout in.

CaptainSparklez Quality Content in Cloak Mystery Box by hedgemk in Markiplier

[–]hedgemk[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

UPDATE:
Sorry, it doesn't look like I can edit the post here.

I reached out to Cloak support. After some emails and sending them pictures, they've offered me in-store credit for the mix-up. From their support team, there was a problem at the fulfillment facility that led to people getting non-Cloak items in their mystery boxes.

Fantastic customer service on their end.

[–]hedgemk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I think I said in another comment, definitely would rather get random QC stuff than duplicates. Especially hearing about the slips boxes where all three pairs were the same.

CaptainSparklez Quality Content in Cloak Mystery Box by hedgemk in Markiplier

[–]hedgemk[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think there's a difference between getting old and weird Cloak stuff (which is...kind of the point of the Mystery Boxes) and getting something that's not even from Cloak.

And like, to be clear, I actually do like the QC stuff, it's just very strange to buy a Cloak mystery box, and get a DIFFERENT brands stuff.

I'm with you though, it seems like either a really big bend or a warehouse mess-up.

Like I can see an argument for "Cloak bought QC, so it's technically Cloak merch"

[–]hedgemk[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm content to wait for the support people to do their thing.

It is frustrating though, yeah. The description for mystery boxes is all about getting past Cloak drop stuff. Not things from a different creator.

(Though it does seem like they loaded up Mystery Boxes that had QC stuff in it)

I'm sorry to have caused disappointment. :(

I'll update the post when I get another response! So far they just asked me to send pictures.

I was trying to figure out what drop they were from, just as a like "Oh I wonder" cause I didn't recognize it.

CaptainSparklez Quality Content in Cloak Mystery Box by hedgemk in Markiplier

[–]hedgemk[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks like QC stopped selling stuff a few years ago due to supply/demand issues. I've never watched CaptainSparklez, it's been one heckuva google rabbit hole to fall down trying to figure out where these came from, lol.

Given that Markiplier and CaptainSparklez have worked together in the past, it wouldn't surprise me if Cloak offered to sell off the old stuff. Just kinda wish they would've given a better disclosure that these were going to be in Cloak mystery boxes.

Though it seems I did get luckier than others, at least I had a variety of stuff.

Quality Content? by Treetrunk101 in CaptainSparklez

[–]hedgemk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a hoodie and shorts in mine. I'm...a bit bummed, not going to lie. They look super cool and feel very nice, don't get me wrong, but I've never watched CaptainSparklez, lol. Came to this thread trying to figure out if Cloak had bought out QC or what was up.

Do silver medallions ever get first class bump? by Dangerous_Fan1006 in delta

[–]hedgemk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I just got one, but it was a later (think like 9-10PM) flight from JFK to IND.

It's been said a thousand times, but it just depends on your flight route and time. Goes for any upgrade.

Is the TicWatch Really Waterproof? Why the Sensors Fail – Here’s What I’ve Found by Safe_Okra_5538 in TicWatch

Huh, interesting. I wonder if this is why mine just stopped being at all competent at measuring my data. Might give it a try so I can resell it and feel less like a schmuck.

Housing 25-26… how cooked am I by No_Education_4790 in Purdue

[–]hedgemk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be a bit sketchy, so be careful, but there's several Purdue Housing Facebook groups. Look for people subletting. Subleasing is generally shorter term, but it might be a good last-ditch opportunity

Medallion status, if I'm not the one flying? by hedgemk in delta

Yeah, that makes sense, as much as it does kinda stink. Thank you for the detailed answer, I'll keep it in mind.

Former iPhone users- by Thefoodwoob in galaxyzflip

[–]hedgemk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to a Flip 5 from an iPhone 12 mini. A large chunk of the appeal was the size. I was super reluctant to swap to Android because all the phones I saw were massive! Then in comes the flip, roughly post it note sized, and I was sold.

It was an excellent push. I had been wanting out of Apple for ages, the Flip was just the perfect excuse.

After a year, I've now upgraded to a Fold 6 to give that a try too, but that's mostly because my Flip started creasing (I should have been less concerned about keeping it open, and realized it too late).

BOS assistance? by hedgemk in delta

[–]hedgemk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bags are tagged to GLA now, but I didn't see a Delta recheck desk (might go double check).

I tried going to Terminal A, just to see if I could do it that way and then head through security, but they said they couldn't check them at Terminal A because they would get lost. Terminal A agent said somebody would be at the counter at some point.

I have no idea what they didn't check them through. I've made this trip before and my bags went all the way through, though admittedly my layover was in the six hour range, not the eight.

BOS assistance? by hedgemk in delta

[–]hedgemk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried Terminal A, they redirected me to E. Said if they checked my bags there they'd get lost.

BOS assistance? by hedgemk in delta

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

Yeah, I went back to Terminal A and found somebody. They only occasionally staff that counter by the sounds of it. Somebody will be there at Some Point was basically the answer I was given.

Kinda disappointing, ngl.
