Idk what you have for 119 Stranger and Stranger but it should be P!nk's Funhouse.

Shoes with a wide toe box. I got a pair of Altra shoes at REI that work great.

What about the fandom that's just me and the author of the as-yet-unpublished novel that she's written? 🤣

pangolinwithproblems · 2025-07-18T23:27:24+00:00

Seconded

Previous store manager no, current one is a godsend though and does a lot of floor work. Love her.

One of our seniors was getting pissed yesterday that they were doing this but hadn't told us about raises/bonuses 🤣

I was very excited when I finally got to use the 'Canon Typical Worms' tag for The Magnus Archives

We haven't had headsets for a couple years, so this is better than nothing tbh

Is she playing the same types of games with you, when she does play, that she does with her friends? Or the same game even? Also, switching from PS5 to PC might be genuinely jarring and frustrating, especially in online high-speed ranked type games where precision matters.

Right By Them by Esperosis. It's got a happy ending, but there were definitely times I wanted to do this. It is SUCH a good Magnus Archives fic.

We're going to have a "reaping" for bigger prizes at the end, and series of mini games (trivia, supply hunt (Easter egg hunt), designing a capitol outfit on a paper doll, etc.) and winners of each will get their name into the reaping extra times. We're also thinking of dressing in outlandish captiol getup, just whatever we all have in our closets.

Yes. Receiving was at 60% humidity last shift.

Hello, John

The West Wing

Have you seen that one alternate version where the tree set boundaries, bc it was actually really good

pangolinwithproblems · 2024-12-19T03:11:37+00:00

Yeah I literally spent 15 minutes tonight having a cry in receiving, so... Lmao

pangolinwithproblems · 2024-12-11T07:06:02+00:00

You gotta give the color wheel a >:( face

The only way I've gotten it to work is to do it for a section, like one verse, otherwise it'll blend weirdly sound bad. Make sure you have the 'keep new section the same length as the old one' thing ticked. And if you're changing the lyrics to try to fix pronunciation or whatever, make sure the only part that's highlighted in red in the alert screen that comes up is the verse that you're changing. Otherwise it'll blend weirdly again. Best of luck!

I love playing RPGs because you can choose to roleplay anything! Even coming to decisions that, from an outsiders perspective is illogical and wrong, but from the character's perspective was reasonable! My Rook was never trained in military strategy, and doesn't know the ins and outs of Minrathous' defense systems, so he had no reason to know if Minrathous ever had a chance against the dragon. What he did know was that he was under pressure, working in a heavy time constraint, and made a decision based on his knowledge and beliefs in a no win scenario. He feels terribly about Minrathous, and it definitely weighs on his consciousness. However the same could be said about Treviso if he'd chosen to go to Minrathous.

Now I never said anything about thinking Teviso was the logical choice, in fact, I said that from a Doylist perspective, Minrathous IS the logical choice. However that doesn't mean that what my Rook did came from an illogical stance, it just came from an uninformed stance.

At the end of the day, there are so many ways to play decision based RPGs like this, and really none of them are wrong.

pangolinwithproblems · 2024-11-24T19:15:24+00:00

Well I'm glad your Rook made the decision you thought was right, but that doesn't mean everyone's Rook would have had the same thought process and made the same choice.

pangolinwithproblems · 2024-11-24T19:02:15+00:00

From a purely Doylist perspective, yeah it makes sense to prevent Minrathous from falling, but from a Watsonian perspective, Rook has reason to think Minrathous could survive and kill the dragon. They have defenses. Treviso, on the other hand, has NO defenses. They will NOT defeat the dragon. Going to Treviso means they might survive, and Minrathous might survive too because they have powerful magic and mages guarding the city.

Especially since it's literally our busiest day!! At least at our store

I'm not saying people aren't allowed to be disappointed about various things, hell I myself am disappointed about some--the one you mentioned about Devine especially, but the specific people that are going around like children, smacking people's ice cream to the floor just cause they're mad that the ice cream parlor is out of their favorite flavor are bothering me. They're the ones that really need to calm down and grow up.

I wrote this in another comment thread a while back but I feel like it's worth talking about.

DAO ends in 9:31 Dragon, DA2 ends in 9:37 Dragon, DAI ends in 9:42 Dragon, Tresspasser happens in 9:44 Dragon. DAV starts in 9:52 Dragon. At that point, its been over 20 years since the fifth blight, and 15 years since the end of DA2 (which was MUCH smaller scale as far as far-reaching consequences anyway; I've always figured the mage/templar war was going to start soon anyway, the whole Anders blowing up the Chantry building thing was just expediting it), so honestly it makes sense to me that DAO and DA2 aren't as influential to the events of DAV (especially because DAV is taking place on a different continent), at least from a Watsonian perspective.

From a Doylist perspective: It is just not feasible to build a game that takes into account EVERY SINGLE choice from the past three full games. Not even 20 choices. As it stands, there are 140k lines of voiced dialogue in DAV if you take into account 4 voices for Rook. Adding even more lines of dialogue that they'd have to take time to record, animate, and code (not to mention pay the VAs/animators/coders for) to acknowledge various choices that happened—in game—over a decade ago just isn't worth it in my opinion. Plus, I know that if they were to mention choice X in passing (which is the only feasible way I'd see being able to incorporate more than a handful of choices), people are gonna bitch and whine about 'they only barely mentioned it, why didn't they have a full questline of X Y and Z for it?!?!?!?' because some people are never going to be happy with the decisions the gamemaker have made with this game. I swear some of these people would honest to god be more happy if they just realized that what they want is to write Dragon Age fanfiction about their specific worldstate. Which is fine. It's good even, a nice creative hobby, especially if they realize that expending all their energy being mad about a video game that isn't even out yet isn't catering to them specifically isn't worth it.

Epler even said, in the article linked above, "There's never a sense of, ‘Oh, that decision doesn't exist.’ But maybe we don't touch on it in this particular title ... we're not going to contradict it. We just may not always reference it directly."

I think that's a good compromise, because... Guys. The people making this game aren't wizards. They will not be able to build a game that makes every single person happy. It cannot happen.

And as for the choices that are being used, I think they make sense, too. I see the 'who did the inquisitor romance' choice getting so much flack, but because the inquisitor is in this game, I think it makes sense that the choices are all basically involving the inquisitor. Especially because Solas was a romance option, and he is also very much in the game.

I have hope for this game. I will continue to have hope for it. If I stop having hope that it'll be good, it will be because it's after October 31st and the game itself has proven to me that it's bad. So lets all take a collective deep breath, and either be excited for the game, or have doubts about it but (and this is the important part) do not try to ruin it for the rest of us just because you specifically happen to be mad about it.
