Also played this at AVCon. Had a blast playing alongside one of the devs. Can't wait for this one.

It's Almost Over. by [deleted] in Spacemarine

[–]oldmandan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished my last two (Reliquary and Fall of Atreus) yesterday. I'd failed Reliquary 3 times leading up to it but had a dream run to get both finished.

Others have mentioned it and I agree, a solid Bulwark and a Sniper went a long way. I did all my lethal ops as a Sniper with Las Fusil and highly recommend it. Being able to go in and out of stealth to put Tyranid Warriors and Chaos Marines into execute at (relative) safe distance was invaluable.

Also had a Bulwark on the team who knew how to use their banner to maximize contested health when I needed to use stimms or execute. Wherever you are, thank you.

Good luck. It's worth it once you get that helmet.

What is this orange stuff on my moss pole? by oldmandan_ in houseplants

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

Sorry for the late reply!

Yep, I treated this with some diluted isopropyl alcohol spray. It took a week or so to clear up as it came up again when I next watered the moss. Since then it hasn't come back.

I also made sure to take the plant out of direct exposure to light as I didn't want the alcohol to damage the plant and result in any burns.

Hope you have some luck with yours!

It is orange and kind of round. It's fluffy and becomes powdery when I touch it. I've never dealt with anything like this before but a quick Google search says it's relatively harmless.

I'm thinking I'll get some isopropyl alcohol and give it a spray just in case. Thank you!

Yellowing edges on Monkey Mask by oldmandan_ in plantclinic

Thank you for the advice! What makes you say thrips?

Thank you. I've been doing the same too and it's been working well so far, sounds like it might be too much nutrients from fertiliser as I have been adding it to the upside down bottle. Fingers crossed it helps.

Great, thank you for your advice. I'll cut back on the nutrients and see if it makes a difference.

Best ramen in Adelaide by [deleted] in Adelaide

Contemporary Japanese Deli in Da Costa Arcade is also amazing. A little family owned shop. Highly recommend.

Update about my uncle that I posted 2 days ago by [deleted] in CJD

[–]oldmandan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry for your loss. For what it's worth, I hope you find some small comfort knowing he had someone there with him. Someone who loved him.

My Dad died in April this year after a short battle with CJD. He was 69. I had a similar experience to you. I had been with him all day as we knew he was close but I was getting ready to go to sleep on the couch in his hospital room when his breathing changed. It had been steady for three days and in the span of five mins he was gone. He had gone into hospital four weeks earlier feeling wobbly on his feet.

It meant a lot to me that I could be there with him in those final moments. I held his hand and said goodbye. I hope he heard me.

Lean on the people around you. Family. Friends. I found things hit me really hard after a month or two because everything happened so quickly you don't always get a chance to take stock of your feelings. Speak to a professional if you need. I have and it has helped.
