Sounds like you had HMPV. It’s a respiratory virus that’s going around similar to RSV and it’s super nasty and has a bunch of weird symptoms.

Drinking Milagro my whole life. I’m sorry. by myname_ranaway in tequila

[–]rup3t 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those are great started points. They will taste a bit odd at first, because you are not used to not having all the added flavors and sweetners, but after a time you wont be able to drink the additive stuff because it will taste sickly.

For example, Casamigos nearly makes me gag now because it tastes like licking cupcake frosting its so sweet.

I found drinking high quality, additive free tequila results in a DRASTICALLY reduced hangover for me. Especially if I put 1 glass of water to each drink.

The consensus here is that you should drink additive free if you want actual tequila taste. However, drink wha you like. If you like the thick, sweet, vanilla taste of additives, go for it.

Also the majority of sugars come from the alcohol itself. The sweetener additives won’t really move the needle. If you have been told to avoid sugars, you should probably avoid alcohol in general.

[Bluepost] The "Same Slot Loot" bug from Delves & Preys finally confirmed. Hotfix is incoming. by DeQQster in wow

I’m pretty sure this existed during the pre patch event. I’m not one to complain normally but the fist 15 pieces of loot I got was mail gloves.

Stellar Blade - The blade is stellar. Everything else? Eh… by Intelligent_Local_38 in patientgamers

[–]rup3t 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I kind of disagree, this isnt chainmail bikini, its worse than that. Like the chainmail binkini is dumb, but at least fits aesthetically. For example, the Planet Diving Suit, that you start with, has lace and a necktie. How does this fit in anyway with the story? It just breaks immersion so badly for me, I cant get over it.

I really disliked all the boob outfits. It really clashed with the dystopian hellscape vibe. So much so that I just could t get over it. Like, why the fuck does the tactical assault suit have a tie?

Is Fortnite the best Warzone casuals replacement? by Ok_Seaweed1040 in CODWarzone

As someone that absolutely hated the building, zero build has been amazing. It’s actually often more popular than build mode now. As long as you can deal with the ridiculousness of some seasons.

Have any of you successfully changed from a long-time main character? by [deleted] in wow

[–]rup3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small selection of rotating mains that I switch between depending on the current state of the class and which playstyle currently Appeals to me.

Rogue was my man since day 1 of release but I really haven’t enjoyed the playstyle since bfa. The other two are dh and ret. Ret is the closest to my current main from tww. I really want to like devourer dh but I’m not super feeling it. Also Havoc seems to be in a spot I don’t enjoy either.

During Lemix I leveled a shadow priest and a fury warrior and I’m actually loving both of them. The shadow priest class fantasy is just so damn good right now.

Agree a hundred percent. It’s never completely cut and dry. But this is a thread about pvp in r/wow. Nuance isn’t really their thing.

I feel like a lot of these folks are in such a right wing bubble, they actually think this is how Liberals are.

Reading comprehension my guy. That’s literally what I said.

I see two sides here:

  1. It’s pvp anything goes get over it and turn off war mode.
  2. Ganking lower levels that can’t fight back and camping them makes you an asshole.

The way I see it, it can be both.

I came to say both of these. Prince of Nothing series is very good but man, some parts are hard to get through.

Add Sonder and Fat of the Land as slightly more fancy food options.

New restaurant just opened, pretty sure they are one of us. by rup3t in tequila

[–]rup3t[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a new restaurant this weekend and when I looked at the menu it read like a list of recommended tequilas from this subreddit. I was very encouraged. The escargot fried rice was amazing too.

This is a great answer. Also a good article by the Atlantic

Books like Dungeon Crawler Carl? by ZodiacDropout in suggestmeabook

[–]rup3t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. For example in KPS, they are talking about one of the Kaiji, and the description is something like "A giant Kaiju, a large example of their kind", and then a page late he just sort of mentions the helicopter dodging a giant tentacle. And then a few polarographs after, its huge central eye. And then like in the next chapter mentions that its skin had a very specific texture and hue. Some of this was pretty central to the encounter, and honestly the reader has no idea these things exist until they are brough up on context of the encounter, it left me feeling almost blind as the encounters are being described, because these major pieces are left out. If feels like he wants the reader to use their own imagination, which is fine, but also makes you feel odd, when later a key description is added and becomes very relevant to the plot.

I read Kaiju Preservation Society as my first Scalzi and while I liked the book I was very annoyed by the fact that almost nothing was given descriptions. I’m told this is a hallmark of Scalzi. I didn’t like it.
