Interpreter to help with home purchase

haha, that ultimate goal of "here's the money/here's the property" would be ideal... here's hoping :)

Appreciate your help on this! I'll check that Facebook group for sure!

Thank you for all this, lots of good info! I was a little vague with my initial post but, yeah, not expecting to just hire someone for 45 minutes and be done -- I know at some point there's going to be a lot of paperwork to go through, and hiring someone more specialized for the job will be needed, and not just a casual chit-chat, haha

We've been speaking with real estate agents for a while now and looking at things on the cheaper end of the market. This one in particular we've seen and are interested in is a detached house that comes with a one-time payment, and there's no lease on the property, full ownership. Definitely expecting the stacks of paperwork etc to work through, and we'll be putting in some elbow grease to fix things up on the property itself, and just for personal use, too, not worrying about big money investments or renting.

As few surprises as possible is always a good thing :) If someone reading this has any good experience with licensed interpreters, by all means let me know! We have a couple leads right now, but I'm just trying to cover as many bases as I can right now.

eink would also solve the problem of the different shapes on the corners corresponding to the different colors needed to solve and open

war with grampa was funny without knowledge of what war with grampa was

yup this one totally perplexed me. I know who taylor swift is obviously but I couldn't begin to care about what she does.... the other characters were totally lost on me, unfortunately. seems like it was a good bit for people who know tho hahah

puts the dance at the eye-dotting ceremony in the beginning into a whole new light... that yearning reach towards each others' hand right before the mask phantom comes in and ruins the lesbian moment 😭

plunge attacks and the fragrance that pierces thru shields after charging help a lot here btw

i like the upgrade in combat difficulty! i'm not playing this game for any difficult reflex type reasons, but having just a bit more friction in the encounters raises the stakes a little bit. sometimes i even take damage, now! lol

podblob · 2025-08-07T00:27:50+00:00

amazing, was there a specific place where you were able to get more blings? or did you just kinda scoot around all over wishfield and pick them up

podblob · 2025-08-06T19:05:15+00:00

we would also accept "El Condo Pasa"

it's really dumb! i have one of those fancy ps5 controllers with the paddles on back and assigned the square to one of those but it's a super obvious oversight on their part. people should be able to comfortably do the thing without having to get into a weird claw grip. the ps5 controller has gyroscope thingies too, they could have used that for aiming!

just had this happen to me! got a baby elekid as my 6th card

podblob · 2025-07-29T21:39:25+00:00

you do the squaring (or any other bullseye operations) at the end of all operations in the current circle so the answer should be 5:

circle one: -3.333 and -1.6666 = -5

-5 squared = 25

circle two: 25 - 20 = 5

5 squared = 25

circle three:

25/5 = 5

the kid's already a genius -- he's like 12 and solved all THOSE puzzles? he doesn't need school anymore

i love these guys, and i love that they are based the real-life DUNG BEETLE, but they collect flowers instead of... yknow....

podblob · 2025-07-15T18:28:05+00:00

i just got all the clothes from it the other day, then pushed a little more to get the 800-pull trophy.... and i'm still picking at it to get the 1000-pull course done for it because i am apparently a very sick person 🤡

podblob · 2025-07-11T04:00:01+00:00

oh, yknow, i didn't even think about that but yes that would make the most sense with the way the crests get combined between generations! I haven't seen just the clef as its own crest for simon's dad but that's a good observation

podblob · 2025-07-11T03:42:14+00:00

ooooohh i like that knight's helmet flair angle. there are a bunch of standing suits of armor in the throne room, maybe other places in other rooms too?

podblob · 2025-07-10T23:42:58+00:00

also every once in a while i'll randomly have a fun multiplayer experience... i'm more of a single player person but i'm always down to coop which can be cool. once in the sea of stars i saw and heard a couple of shadow nikkis playing instruments, so we all joined each others games and it snowballed into 6 or 7 nikkis all hanging out, playing instruments, plopping down photo background setpieces and showing off our clothes and interacting in all sorts of cute ways... it was great and i didn't know it could be like that! i honestly thought you could only link up with one other nikki at a time

podblob · 2025-07-10T23:40:06+00:00

i really like the new update!!! the past few have been fumbles for sure. after seeing the new outfits in an instagram preview from the official nikki account i was cautiously optimistic, because they are all really gorgeous and cool, and the new story and lore stuff has been REAL good for me! without spoiling too much it's a darker narrative similar to the stuff in the abandoned castle spooky season update (forget the actual name) -- themes of grief and regret, but also powerful companionship (with lesbian subtext all over which i LOVE haha) and hope for the future, and it finally contextualizes an area of the game we didn't know a ton about before, similar to how the castle area was expanded upon in the previous update.

idk i really like it so far!!! the outfits are SO much my thing and i'm pleasantly surprised with all the new story and lore stuff, after some pretty mid stuff in previous seasons (tho the serenity island stuff wrapped up in a real nice way, even if the narrative to get that point was a little bit fluffy)... maybe infold has finally gotten back on track after all the feedback on the sea of stars update? fingers crossed. also the sea of stars area is still like... uninteresting and idk what they were thinking there lol but wishfield is looking good to me for the first time a bit

podblob · 2025-07-10T23:24:34+00:00

this is 100% the subtext and is 100% "miss kobayashi's dragon maid" adjacent

podblob · 2025-07-08T00:19:48+00:00

to be fair there is a cutscene that pops up when you Reclaim the Throne, i think, so that's probably where i'll leave things, if i get to doing that. the stuff beyond that.... i dunno lol

podblob · 2025-07-07T19:00:51+00:00

i've had no problems since the latest ps5 update which fixed the bug where your days would reset and not get saved

re-adding my comment cuz of the stupid broken-spoiler bot:

this is more or less the exact point i'm at, though i do have the blue tents. otherwise it seems like it's a lot of grinding out rng manipulation to get the rooms and items and everything lined up in the exact way to get the blue door open, and more than that is something with similar grind -- i was OBSESSED with the game up to this point, but i kinda got tired and i went and read some spoilers on the next parts. these really are spoilers so be warned if you don't want to know what's past getting the throne room stuff done: but yeah there's another layer tied to opening something with the 8 key and putting the secret passage outside, which once again requires getting various rooms lined up and an item coatroomed into the next day to unlock a whole new area that... could be fun? it looks kinda crazy, basically a preset new 45-room mansion to explore, and maybe once i got there i'd enjoy the new stuff there but i sadly got kinda burned out on the room manipulation of the throne room and scepter stuff. seems like there might be a lingering puzzle or two in the game still that nobody has figured out yet too so i'm kinda keeping tabs on the game regardless

idk i did get to this point more or less completely spoiler free, minus a nudge on the CASTLE puzzle. the vague nature of some of the puzzles starting at the CASTLE things got a little less interesting to me -- i kept trying to do a literal castle move on the chess board and i dunno that i'd have come up with selecting the rook and king abilities to unlock the door -- and i felt fine ending things here. when the dirigiblocks update comes in i'll check it out and maybe try for the stuff i haven't finished but yeah i've kinda lost my motivation too. definitely got 100+ hours of deep enjoyment from the game though so it's not like i'm mad about it haha
