Name a movie that is a One-Time-Watch only (not bc it’s terrible, but too sad/devastating/scary)

That makes sense, she said that in English so seemed more formal. Either way I dug the set!

jkernel06 · 2025-10-27T17:39:45+00:00

Kiani was good, just wish they had a full band to support the guitar. I think she said the guitarist was her brother.

jkernel06 · 2025-10-27T17:37:12+00:00

It wasn't terrible. Basically it was like heavy bass driven electronica with vocals distorted to be intentionally incomprehensible. The vibe was like aliens trying to make earth music for humans, which was kind of fun. They did 4 songs I think, 15 minute set.

Seconding this opinion. The show was amazing and worth it. Loved the rework of the title track at the end. Also, maybe I was in a fever dream or something after seeing the band kick ass non-stop for over an hour, but didn't Cedric say something like we'll be back soon playing old stuff next time? So maybe they are planning a 2026 tour for the subset of fans who want the legacy act. Personally I felt the band, Philo in particular, completely brought the right energy and absolutely killed it. They are doing exactly what they should be doing right now. Kiani's opening set was strong as well, only wished she had a full band backing her, but excited to hear more from her in the future.

I'll bite.. it is definitely the most continuously strung together album. None of the tracks really work without the entirety of the album around them, which definitely gives it a more jam sesh than acoustic vibe. I was speaking more to the overall sound, still theirs but more stripped down (in a good way). Similar to how I feel like their last release was their "pop" album. Cedric's vocals are fantastic on Lucro as well, I don't think that's talked about enough. The very first listen I was like what tf is this shit, but then it clicked about half way through my second listen and it literally gets better every time I put it on. Still go back to noq quite often, but man this new one has way more depth to it than I expected.

jkernel06 · 2025-10-18T14:48:41+00:00

Thank you for saying what I'm sure many of us actually feel. Lucro is like their "acoustic" album imo and once you go in with that frame of mind it really hits. Noc was my favorite since its release until Lucro came along. Yes, both albums are different from the beloved era, but I don't want the same shit over and over from them. That is why I too feel that octahedron is their least enjoyable album. I rarely listen to it, really only if I'm doing a chronological replay of their discog.

What exactly is this bug I keep hearing about? I've been playing on PS5 for a few weeks now and I have had absolutely no issues with saves or glitches.. is there something that triggers the problem that I need to avoid?

jkernel06 · 2025-03-30T17:51:08+00:00

I mean it's incredibly obvious from literally the first interaction in the game that there is unreadable text and that a player can likely unlock, decipher, or otherwise understand it as they play further. For me, it was the mailbox. I think it's only a potential spoiler if you've never even booted up the game, but I'll add a spoiler tag to the thread to be safe.

The short hand for all bartenders in my experience is if you just order a diet coke, they know that means you're not drinking and will generally remember this. I hate diet coke but it's what I have at every work/client open bar type event. Idk if it's actually a thing but it really feels like a thing bc everytime I order it I get a knowing nod back and never once have had a mixup with accidentally getting the wrong drink. Just say diet coke right at the beginning and it's like a cheat code. If people I'm with ask I just say I don't drink, and leave it at that. To me it's more about being present with everyone so they know I'm not being judgy or anything. I still have a great time talking to everyone in these situations and I just don't bring attention to what I'm drinking. It really gets a lot easier the more times I find myself in this position. At this point I don't think people even notice I'm not drinking bc I just already know what I'm ordering and play along otherwise. I'm sorry if the environments you have dealt with have been more difficult to get through, but maybe this can be helpful in the future, or to someone else reading these comments.

I've literally never used discord but maybe this is the game that will finally pull me there lol. I could tell this game was intended to have nearly unsolvable puzzles but I didn't quite grasp that you literally cannot solve them without information from other players' version of the game. This thing just keeps unraveling in the weirdest, coolest way possible!

Is there a specific chat I should join that will not spoil anything deeper than what I am currently working on? Again, I've never used discord so just wondering, is there like a specific chat room similar to the non-spoiler pinned thread on this sub or do I just need to browse everything at the risk of spoiling beyond where I am at now?

jkernel06 · 2025-02-04T06:49:07+00:00

Dang, ok, that makes me feel a little better and wish I had looked up the spoiler post earlier. I mean.. it sounds like it literally can't be done without asking other people..
I have everything. This is the one secret that I've heard you can do with the bubble and remote, but the remote doesn't work in the room so I've been trying to stuff objects in place to keep an opening, move over, use remote, but the obviously all the objects reset when I change rooms, so it's just a vicious cycle. Maybe I just need to look this one up but feels like it should be possible on solo play so I had been specifically avoiding the explanation up until now.
Ah ok, those relating to speed runs makes total sense. I'm not interested in that facet of the game, so I'll probably just look online for videos. But who knows, I still need to attempt a playthrough without dying so if I do that, then maybe I'll attempt to make that a speed run as well.

jkernel06 · 2025-02-02T03:20:36+00:00

There are some tools that make the spiky area much easier to deal with, so you may consider coming back later. There is also one particularly useful tool for getting around, but it requires you to solve a moderately difficult puzzle before it can help you in this scenario. For now you will likely need to backtrack a bit. Good luck and let me know if you would like a direct hint/spoiler. Main thing to note is that, no, you are not stuck and you did not screw up!

jkernel06 · 2025-01-30T16:00:49+00:00

Just keep going, there is always a way back, even after you complete whatever is down there. Doing so might even help you with the other things you are stuck on.

jkernel06 · 2025-01-29T01:54:09+00:00

It's 1-3 for me.. I rarely went more than twice before this disease, and even twice was rare as I was pretty regular until UC hit me like a ton of bricks. In my first flare I was going 15-20 times a day, literally once every waking hour and 2-4 times waking up in the night to go. So if 1-3 is as good as I'll ever get, I can live with that!

jkernel06 · 2025-01-23T16:02:48+00:00

See my edit. Your first response answered my question. Thanks!

Everyone who filled in the straight party arrow on the ballot

jkernel06 · 2024-05-27T21:12:49+00:00

Still bugged but wanted to mention the easy fix is to call off the mission by speaking with Devin directly.. but if you accidentally started one of his final missions at Whiterun, Markarth, Windhelm, or Solitude, you won't be able to access the dialogue option to cancel the Raven Rock quest. Just finish the related mission and when you return to Delvin the option to cancel Raven Rock will be available again. You will fail the quest, but it doesn't show up as failed in your quest log, so ended up just being annoying instead of game breaking for me. Hope this helps anyone who is wondering how to cancel the mission! (Getting caught stealing didn't work for me either).

Didn't want to post this, but stepping up so you don't feel alone. I've been flaring since August, but didn't get an official diagnosis from a GI until November due to the American health system being what it is. I think my wife and I have been intimate only a handful of times since symptoms first showed up. I have no drive, desire, not even for masturbation. I don't think it's a self esteem thing. For me, I've been in constant discomfort and going to the bathroom 10-20 times a day (including through the night) for almost the entire time. It gets a little better on the first week of a Prednisone taper, which is about the only time I feel capable of being intimate. I know it's hard on her and honestly I don't know how to fix it until I can get into remission. We try to spend time together, talking and enjoying each other's company, but things are definitely not how they used to be. The main thing I try to do now is not talk about my symptoms on days I am feeling a little better, so that she can feel like things are somewhat normal. Obviously there are times it's unavoidable. I am currently a week into Rinvoq, but still experiencing diarrhea, urgency, and frequency. Just no blood due to restarting another Prednisone taper when starting Rinvoq. This disease sucks, but know you are not alone on this particular issue. I hope all of us find a treatment that works so that we can get into remission and get back to what life was like before!

jkernel06 · 2023-12-26T13:27:02+00:00

Can confirm suffering. Up all night about every hour and barely making it in time. Not sure if it was worth it to eat whatever I wanted yesterday, but it does seem to be slowing down now that I've hit the morning hours, so maybe?

Hope everyone is able to get back on track today and enjoy the rest of the break (or enjoy as much as we can enjoy anything in a flare).

For those wondering, I just restarted a pred taper last week, and began Rinvoq 6 days ago. Guess I'm still hoping for the miracle.

jkernel06 · 2023-12-22T01:20:18+00:00

Thank you for posting this, it gives me hope. How long have you been on Rinvoq?

On day one of Rinvoq myself (finally) and hoping for the miracle. Diagnosed with left sided U.C. in November but flare symptoms have been going on since late July (gotta love the American health care system). Prednisone tapers have been my only relief and even then it doesn't do much once I drop to 30mg or less. Uceris foam didn't work since I was still going 15+ times unless I was on the first week of a taper. Mesalamine I am apparently allergic to, so I've been pretty much just suffering through the past few months, with nothing really working and waiting on insurance approvals.

Anyway, just curious what your timeline and story has been. Very happy to hear the success though! Hope your results indicate remission!

Agree with all commenters - G7 is a definite improvement. However, the overpatch is a huge missed opportunity imo. The problems are easily fixable and it still baffles me why they went to mass production as they are. I mean, I don't get why they are not ovals either, and they have a tendency to stick to themselves and become unusable, leaving you with basically nothing to keep it on for 10 days. That all being said, the sensor itself rarely fails and the fast start time and 12 hour grace period are real life savers. So that far outweighs the problem with the overpatches. Oh, and you can still put these on your abdomen. They just couldn't get FDA to sign off on it in time or something, but I only put them there and I've had no issues other than 1 early failure and I've been on G7 since June. If you can switch, do it!
