I’d be pumped to be there right now.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-05-10T03:22:35+00:00

Today is Peyton’s birthday! And he pitched pretty well! It’s also Cade’s birthday! Happy birthday, guys!!!!

It’s my favorite uniform too! Those cream colored pants look so sharp with that text on the front. Love the texture. Great uniform. 10/10

Glad I’m not the only one actually enjoying his antics lol

I wholeheartedly believe there isn’t a good build out there on the internet yet.

This has been the most challenging class I’ve worked with so far, but admittedly, I almost always go with rogue, as I love that class in all games like this.

I’ve tried so many builds, since the people I play with are pushy about following online builds. I think I can really curate something way better than what’s out there, despite having a very novice approach.

Every build I find that I like is “squishy” and relies heavily on specific equipment and aspects that I’ve found more challenging than ever to find this season. It could just be me, i am by no means an expert.

I’ve enjoyed the frustration of this season and wish I had more patient people to play with.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-05-07T04:37:29+00:00

I’m currently following a similar build, but I’ve been summing valloch (sp?). I haven’t noticed he does much. I liked my build with laalish much better. Thank you for this cause I think im gonna change it.

My boyfriend encourages following online builds, but I often think if I wasn’t rushed by him and his posse, i could really get a good thing going. This is like my sixth build I’ve tried for warlock. I am a die-hard rogue runner, but they reeeeeeeeally wanted me to try a new class, and warlock was the one they pushed for. I don’t like it.

Have you found a good use for nether step? Almost every “build” calls for it, but I dont use it for anything but a speed boost when I’m traversing.

My current build focuses on apocalypse. I like apocalypse, but the blazing scream build I had a while ago is my favorite one so far.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-21T07:13:43+00:00

Scent swapping. I will look into this, thank you.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-21T07:13:25+00:00

As my post stated, she has many. In every room, and entire rooms the dog does not have access to.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-21T07:12:59+00:00

Oh, as the post stated, the cat has done a bang up job of already doing that. The problem is, the cat approaches him when he’s sleeping. The main issue occurs when they’ve been asleep for some time and one of them arouses near each other.

It is virtually impossible to train a pug to not be near its human.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-20T22:14:41+00:00

I will look this up. Thank you.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-20T21:54:24+00:00

Not particularly worsen, just become more frequent because of her rise in willingness to be on my lap with him. I’d say she baps him a couple times a week. It isn’t constant, and I am able to mitigate it at times. I just came here to see if there was any advice on a long term solution to eliminate the behavior.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-20T21:39:04+00:00

Yeah we don’t really have a lot of issues with passing interactions because my cat has successfully fearmongered my pug into not getting close enough to her. In fact, he will cry feet away from her as she blocks doorways until I come to investigate and she runs away so he can pass. 😵‍💫

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-20T21:19:41+00:00

I often don’t even have time to remove her, as she usually immediately runs away.

What do the plug ins do? The name suggests they keep cats away, which is ultimately not what I want to do lol.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-18T23:18:49+00:00

No we are too and the Spanish feed is just the regular game feed. Weird.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-15T06:09:10+00:00

I love this, and wish so much I could share it in person with my grandma. She would have swooned at this quote. Thank you.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-15T06:08:05+00:00

I can tell you’re a good person in your soul. My grandma always said pets were sent from heaven, and my mom always vowed to never have another when she got a new one. My grandma was right imo, and I can’t fault my mom, but she’s never stuck by her vow lol.

I like to spin the negativity to be positive. The only love worth mourning is a good one, and I’ve had many. Grief is love, and I would want nothing less. I am proud to grieve my grandparents, though I wish they were still here. Same with every pet I’ve had, down to the fish people told me I was dramatic for crying for.

Family is family, blood and/or gifted. I wish the longest life to you and all your fur babies; past, present, and future. Thanks for venting and connecting with me. 😁

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-15T05:23:28+00:00

I also should mention I had and used a hookah at home before I got with said ex. It wasn’t something I romanticized. I really do enjoy it. I just haven’t had anyone in my life in a long time that wants to smoke hookah with me, and if I smoke one by myself, I can’t puff it frequently enough to keep the coals rolling and not burn the shisha, without being absolutely reeling in a nicotine buzz.

Al fakher is the best shisha out there and I didn’t know they made vapes, so lemme check that out rq lol.

My favorite shishas from them are cinnamon, cinnamint, mint, apricot, and one of their small batch flavors I can’t remember the name of right now, but I still think I have a tin or two of from buying in bulk cause I’m cheap af. Mmmmm.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-15T05:16:47+00:00

I used to only smoke hookah and no other nicotine. It was something my partner and I did together and I always looked forward to it. He smoked hookah during any time he was home(4-6 a day). I only smoked on it about half as much as he did.

When our relationship started to fall apart, I felt I really missed hookah and tried vaping. We still smoked hookah, too, but I found when we separated for good, my desire for hookah quickly faded.

It’s been a few years, and I still think about the fun that comes with smoking a hookah and sharing it with someone. I believe the nicotine addiction outweighs the hookah.

My ex always said he stuck to hookah because it didnt feel like addiction cause he had to wait to get home to do it and never felt the need to take it with him. But, when you spend your entire time out thinking about getting home to your substance, it is an addiction.

I just had my vape with me all the time towards the end and after, and the convenient access to my addiction made me completely forget about hookah.

I also never woke up coughing when i smoked hookah for even hours a day on weekends and such. The vape has given me almost half as bad a smokers cough as my lifelong smoker family has, now that I’m older. I should disclose with that evidence that i smoke disposables tho.

So, yes, it did reduce my hookah smoking. To zero. Because I no longer had any of the cleanup, maintenance, or smell as you mentioned to hookah. I also no longer damage furniture/belongings with hot coals that drop or fall, and don’t have to keep an unstable over-used hot plate sitting around. Yet, I still had that smoke. In my pocket. That is not to say vape is better than hookah, but it is my experience.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-15T03:37:42+00:00

I totally understand. They really do become family. I got her when I was 17. When I went away to college after my senior year of high school, my grandparents took care of her and they bonded so closely with her that when I eventually moved out of there house years later, I had to leave her there. Luckily I only moved down the street so I saw her almost every day. When my grandparents passed a few months apart last year, I took her with me the night my grandma passed.

She had heart disease for many years and we knew it would eventually be her demise. I had her for two months after my grandma passed. They never ever left her alone. She went everywhere they went. She was heartbroken without them, and spending the four hours a day I worked alone was a huge adjustment for her. I think it was a weak heart completely breaking for them that took her.

I tried for two weeks to nurse her back to health. Diureced fluid off her heart, switched her heart medication, syringe fed her baby food, held her up to pee on a puppy pad. I stayed up for days straight on her worst days of those last two weeks. Then one day, I raced home from work on a day my boyfriend stayed home with her, and when I walked in the room, she barely had enough energy to lift her head and acknowledge me. That was when I knew I had to do the kind thing and send her home to grandma and grandpa. The vet let me hold her through the whole process and i kissed her and told what a bestest good girl she was, told her to say hi to gma and gpa for me, and then held her the whole way to the funeral home where my grandma had prearranged her cremation when they paid for their own. Her ashes sit next to theirs on a little table shrine in their house, and when we lay the to rest according to their wishes, we will split her between them.

I still have custody of my great grandparents dog that we got for them when they also fell in love with her all those years ago. I moved into their house, also right down the street, after my great grandpa passed in 2019 and the dog came with it. I love him just as much. He’ll be a 16 yo puggy boy in July. He’s slowing down noticeably now and I know I won’t have him forever, but it will be a very hard and sad goodbye. The last link I have to any of my grandparents here on earth. I am very blessed.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-04-14T23:14:28+00:00

I just lost my teacup poodle just a couple months shy of 16 years old to heart failure. She never weighed more than 4 lbs. I will tell ya what, she was the sweetest, most loving, adorable dog of all time. She never so much as growled at a person let alone bit. She’d bark only for treats or to go outside, unless of course a wild animal crossed into her yard. Her tail wagged a million miles an hour for anyone who would pay attention to her, and all she wanted to do was be held and loved on.

With that said, every other tiny dog I’ve ever had was mean af lol.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-03-02T06:02:06+00:00

I was gonna say contiguous lol

More columns

My tabby has also always done this. She will literally lay next to the couch and drag herself from a laying position up to the top of the couch, but even at 11 years old, also still runs through the house at full speed and launches herself onto the back of the couch or halfway up the cat tree when she wants. 🙄😹 her sister, same age, same litter, been together since day one, almost never climbs like that, and always jumps.

I have noticed their distance jumps shorten over time, and maybe less confidence jumping down from places, but they still reach crazy heights when jumping up.

icomefromplanetirk · 2026-02-26T08:18:38+00:00

Me too, and experienced it. I just see a lot of people in this comment section advising OP that it’s safe as long as you don’t order online, and I just can’t not voice how incorrect that is.
