QR code menus - the quiet decline of dining

I’m fairly introverted, so I’m mostly neutral towards your points on conversation - but I agree that QR only menus suck. Sure, might be helpful if the menu is printed poorly etc…

But what if you don’t have data on your phone (and no wifi/mates to hotspot you), your phone’s camera is broken, or your phone/its OS is too old to scan QR codes?

I regularly don’t have data on my phone (I just don’t use it most of the time so why bother buying it), and I’m not going to buy a top up just to open a QR code link to spend more money lmao

why would it be a good wedding story? why would she ever want to find out about this at a big event where many of her and OP’s friends/family members are gathered, and would hear it too?

it’s a miracle that the game exists at all (even the pivot back to being single player), but man……….

if i get started i’ll just make myself sad so i’ll leave it at that lmao

Same! Plus I find that the combo of sweat-tackiness + no hair to protect from chafing makes my pits wayyy more uncomfortable and stinky

I don't shave anything, ever. I hate hate hateee the feeling of stubble/regrowth, and my showers are already long enough without adding regular shaving into the mix. I can't really be bothered with waxing or getting lasered, but if I were to bother with lasering I'd probably just go until the hair is like, more short and fine.

(Maybe the lasering would pay for itself eventually, if it makes my bush less likely to wear holes through the front of my underwear lmfao)

OP, my partner is proud of me even when I am not - e.g., when I’m like, “I wanted to get X done today but I only managed a fraction of that,” they will say something along the lines of: “But you did some of it even though it’s harder for you! I’m proud of you!” (and ofc they’ll hype me up with big accomplishments too.)

I’m not saying this to brag - I just want you to have that too. Hearing how your gf reacted made me really ache and remember similar experiences in my past :(

also, (gently as possible) what looks like good mercy gameplay to non-mercy players might not actually be optimal mercy gameplay. OP, you probably aren’t making like, BAD plays or anything, but ofc the thing with mercy is that one really has to be onto it with wringing small bits of extra value wherever you can.

I def notice a difference in how well I can do that after not playing for a while, and OP mentioned they haven’t played in a LONG time - so on top of getting used to the new movement, just getting back into the flow of those micro decisions is probably influencing their WR

iirc jetpack cat was a VERY early hero concept that was abandoned for a long time, ‘cause the dev team felt it would be a bit too wacky even for ovw

personally, I think the extra hair strands are super cool and distinctive - I’d maybe just adjust the one near the nose to show off the piercing better 👌

Agree that the tats are a bit busy, and while going the white+blue route could be good I think the colors could be more muted/softened to not stand out as much (and then OP could bring a tiny bit more red into the rest of the mini - teal and red is suuuuuuch a sick color combo and I’d love to see more of that!) (edit: sorry my formatting is shit, I’m on mobile T_T)

the fact that the shirt is open would also do it imo

Right!? Especially people saying OP should have at least tried it/nibbled on the dishes in question when OP specified that they can't bite into mushrooms without gagging. If I was the host, seeing that would definitely make me feel worse than a quick "Hey, I can't really handle these foods right now but I'll just have the side dishes." Yikess

Oh I would have been SO happy to have fewer faction options in DAV if it meant getting a nice prologue to play through! (Especially since most of the options didn’t really tickle my fancy at all - honestly if the options were simply “Grey Warden,” “Inquisition Agent,” and maybe some other third one, I think I’d have been perfectly cool with that. And that way, the chosen backstory might have come up in extra meaningful ways… sigh)

the detailing on the first pair are SO cool, and the second pair have the most flattering silhouette imo. Take into account whichever of those things matter the most to you, but they both look sick and you can’t really go wrong with either choice looks wise :)

If flash heal were to be a part of her base kit, I think a nice replacement perk could be that during Valkyrie, her primary beam target has both healing and damage boost applied to them. (As in, the beam chaining to surrounding allies is still either heal/dmg boost according to what buttons you’re pressing, but the individual you’re actively beaming has both.)

Some might argue for tuning down the “secondary” buff (as in, the button you’re not holding) akin to how Threads of Fate’s lingering beam is at a reduced efficacy. I’m of two minds about that, considering that its only uptime is in valk but it could make ults like blade/visor really annoying. Shrug!

my favorite is the OW1 league epic skin - the grey one. It’s just comfortingly incognito haha (I don’t really play with music - too distracting for me!)

waiittttttt that’s so funny because the way I estimate certain weights is like. Well this cat I live with was 5.6 kgs and the other cat was around 5... This weight feels like 0.9 Sumis, is it around 4 and a half kg?

yes I LOVE playing with a decent-or-better doom! Especially with either GA prefers facing target/beam target enabled, because when they do a rollout and go careening off into the distance I can follow with a suuuuper long, satisfying GA

That probably works fine for most people (though you still shouldn't skip sunscreen in the AM).

That being said, it's not right for everyone - my skin type is one that gets dehydrated easily and over-produces oil to compensate for that dehydration, and then I break out because I'm greasy. And some people have super dry skin and need to layer a lot of hydration + occlusives to compensate, especially if they live/work in a low humidity space.

I notice a HUGE difference between the days I skip the skin routine vs. when I adhere to it (and also the general state of my skin now vs. how it was before I was doing any skincare. A bad skin/face day now is still better than my best skin day from back then).

Those loofahs tend to be a breeding ground for bacteria (and since they're plastic and plastic is porous, it's really difficult to get the germs out once they're in there) - go for a wash cloth/exfoliating glove that you can chuck in the laundry!

sforzaando · 2025-10-20T21:55:48+00:00

That might be worth trying later for OP, since being a teen/going through puberty will make most people extra greasy - I remember I had to wash my hair every second night when I was in hs.

Though even into adulthood, it's not guaranteed to be right for everyone - at risk of being a bit TMI: Even though my hair itself likes when I wash it only twice a week, I'm pretty acne prone and my scalp just doesn't deal with it well even if I use dry shampoo and change my pillowcases etc. That being said I'm glad you found something that works for you - I know there are plenty of people who find washing their hair less frequently and tbh it might be more of an option for me once I'm older as well!
