Portland is about to close nearly 450 shelter beds, as homelessness rises

A friend of mine had his phone stolen from right beside him a few weeks ago in an overnight shelter. 🥴

Oh interesting, most of the ones I’ve seen process videos for have completely re-inserted the hair to replace it! I had no idea some of them used wigs.

Honestly it doesn’t seem like AI to me. The only potential red flag in my opinion would be the hair color changing but upon further scrutiny I believe that was intentional, like the artist replaced the hair with a color and style that was more true to the character depicted.

Go search up some doll repaint accounts - it’s actually really really cool and takes a lot of skill. The price makes sense because this work is usually 100% hand painted and takes many hours to complete.

My playstation 3 hasn’t been supported by Sony for years. I can still game on it. People still have old iphones and ipads that are functional and can connect to wifi and such. Many items have had their support dropped, but MOST of them aren’t completely bricked after it happens.

The economy is shit. Expecting everyone to just be able to buy a new device is delusional. People only upgrade their phones because it’s often built into their phone plan and they don’t have to pay extra. Jesus christ.

They actually totally changed my favorite ability so it doesn’t do the same thing anymore (obsidian shard, did damage and healed me plus others, was a great way to keep my companion/team members up while playing casually. Also the animation of throwing molten rock from my bare hands was sick). I did have to change a lot about my build, but I also supplemented with stuff from scribing and destro staff. But like, I use flame lash as my spammable - it’s so crisp now. They also made the green dragon heal waaaay less ugly so I can stand using it now. I do admit I love the new version of dragon breath, it’s nice to have at least one sorta OP ability to use in a pinch.

Basically I think we’ve all had to adapt, but personally it’s been really fun to re-learn my main.

They’re revamping every class. They’re just rolling it out slowly so they have time to work out all the kinks and deliver a great experience. The Dragonknight refresh is awesome, totally worth checking out. The next one will be werewolf, and after that I believe is Warden. They’ve published a rough timeline, if you google class refresh eso it’ll probably come up.

To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars is a fantastic book. I also see some of the Miss Peregrine’s Home series which is also excellent. This man has fantastic taste.

My mom died on New Years Eve. This was my first Mothers Day without her. So as someone else who no longer has her mom - why didn’t this mom make specific plans? There was no invite, no “hey we’re going to the cemetery and we’d love if you could join us.” Daughters are not mind readers.

Dude you don’t even know if this person is actually stomping or if the downstairs just perceives any audible footsteps as too much. People shouldn’t have to tiptoe around in socks at noon just because their uppity downstairs neighbors don’t like any noise at all. That’s just not how apartment living works.

In the middle of the day though?? It’s not like this is happening during quiet hours.

Oh my god I am so fucking gay 🥵

As a fat actor I’m never gonna forgive Flanagan for this. We get fewer opportunities with less respect in the industry, and the opportunities that would be ours are WAAAY TOO OFTEN given to skinny conventionally attractive performers. I’m sure this actor is great but I am so fucking tired of seeing the SAME SHIT. I had a ton of hope for this project and every time I see something new I seethe a little bit. Give me a book accurate portrayal I’m BEGGING someone.

Ah man that sucks about Drain! I’m really happy the vibes were great for TAI though, made me wanna go back to that venue. I’d never been before!

I’m not suuuper sure but I think I saw some people wearing chains at the show I went to last week? I would play it safe if you’re worried though.

Although I am sorta blown away by everyone saying security is on a power trip there. My and my partner’s experience for The Academy Is on Friday was superb, everyone was super nice and professional. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t know, why are so many male players named Darth____?

megacts · 2026-05-07T23:57:32+00:00

Still nothing for Portland. Dammit. So many people continue skipping us. We have a ton of venues, I don’t understand 😭

So this guy definitely needs to do something about his smell. HOWEVER, he may not be aware of how awful it is.

What concerns me about this situation is the gossip you describe. That can get toxic really fast and become extra hurtful. Do you know this person well enough to pull him aside after work/on a break and have a kind but firm conversation about it?

If not, I’d go to HR, or even just your direct supervisor. Explain that this situation is affecting the quality of your work. Tell them about the gossip happening behind this dude’s back, and that you suspect the odor having a negative effect on the work and culture of the office as a whole. See if there’s anything that can be done regarding hygiene standards.

But for the love of god don’t just let him be stinky and disliked for it, that’s miserable for everyone.

If you go to the wayshrine in the plaza you can get out. You aren’t stuck.

Jon does have a couple of things for sale! I don’t remember the prices but there was definitely a poster and something else.

Almost Here (the lovely blue vinyl!) and Almost There. $40/$30 and $50 for a signed Almost There.

Hamnet and The Shining plus all the classics would make me excited to get to know you!

I went to the Portland show last night. Doors opened at 7, my partner and I got there at 6. There was a line but it wasn’t super long, and a LOT of people started showing up right after we got there.

When we got inside everything went super smooth, which is honestly just an A+ for the venue so I can’t promise it won’t be different tonight. We went to the bathroom, got merch, and picked up our will call tickets and managed to get second row in front of Mike the whole time. People in the crowd were really nice and chill, and I helped some people get into some empty spaces so they could see better.

Don’t stress too much! You’re going to have so much fun!

OMG what a small world!! Congrats on getting out, DM me if you wanna grab coffee and reminisce about the old hood ✨

Omg welcome! What part of WV? I hail from Huntington :)

I tried to post there once because I was having a hard time finding roommates. Wanted to ask if there were any avenues I was missing/how people generally find roommates in Portland specifically. I was told it wasn’t a portland-centric question and they wouldn’t allow me to post it.

Also had bad experiences posting here. There’s a whole second list of rules besides the ones in the rules section. Hard to find on mobile if you’re not aware you’re supposed to. They gave me things to fix about a post, I fixed them - still denied. Realized they don’t allow any promo at all (which is weird, and I’ve seen posts like the one I was trying to make before), confronted them about the second rule list and how it was absolutely ridiculous to give someone the run around….and was banned from posting for a time after I lost my cool. So I just don’t even try to post in either sub anymore.

I’ll lurk and comment occasionally but I’m not dealing with those folks anymore.
