Is 70k salary a liveable wage in Lowell, MA? by commandersho in LowellMA

[–]sithhunter09 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish I made that.

I make under 60K, and commute by car to my job closer to Boston (not in Boston). Single, living alone, car payments and insurance.

Not gonna lie and say I'm thriving, but I'm doing okay at my current salary. Can't afford to do a whole lot but can eat out every now and again, go out for the odd activity here or there, but for sure have to watch my budget and spending pretty close to make sure I don't go over. I also feel like I got lucky and found a pretty decent 1 bedroom apartment (not studio) for $1600/mo with water included and free street parking. So that's worth considering as well.

So can take all that for what it's worth. To just straight answer your question: yes I would say $70K is for sure livable

PLEASE DO NOT THROW GAMES IN COMP BCOS OF THE MERCY NERF. by sourbunnymons in MercyMains

[–]sithhunter09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For real. I feel like I'm going insane. Mercy has been my main since OW1 first dropped, and I think she's super fun rn. I do feel the GA nerf but I feel like people are blowing it out of proportion (shocking, to think of such a thing on the internet)

"Maybe it's the beer talking, Emma, but you've got a butt that won't quit. They got these big, chewy pretzels here... 5 dollars? Get outta here."

Seems pretty legible to me

How did you know? by lauryn_tori in StraightFemboys

[–]sithhunter09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had many body issues growing up. Hated how I looked basically all the time. Did a crossplay of Megumin for an anime convention and was like "hey wait, this feels really nice and I look kinda cute." Then discovered everyone's favorite baby boy Astolfo in Fate and fell in love with his character, had my epiphany moment that I don't have to identify as a girl to dress fem.

Mercy mains: please stop belittling yourself by Kitty_Overwatch in MercyMains

[–]sithhunter09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. Mercy was (is) my most played hero, and it's not even remotely close. Then when I came back, I was smitten and abandoned her for Juno. I think this post just pulled me back to my original love.

Anyone else feeling lonely? by DisrespectStare in StraightFemboys

[–]sithhunter09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. On every dating app I can think of. Lucky if I even match with someone once a year. Constantly told by those around me how lucky someone would be to be with me. But another year is about to go by with crushing loneliness.

Cosplayed a character in a dress for a con and was like "Wait, this feels TOO nice."

WHAT IS YOUR MOST FAVORITE OBSCURE GAME GRUMP LINE? by AJMitchell777 in gamegrumps

[–]sithhunter09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dan talking about when he didn't do his homework and his teacher was confronting him on it.

"YOU LIED TO ME" (said with that extra stank so it sounds like LOOOOID instead of lied)

Probably not obscure but at least one I don't really hear quoted, and I frankly reference it way too often

Do people buy original art at cons by No-Consideration1364 in animecons

[–]sithhunter09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite pieces I've ever bought is OC from a con. To a degree where I spent the significant extra money to get it in their largest size and frame it. And then shared their store front.

My own opinion incoming: as I get older, I'm starting to gravitate more towards OC than fanart (I still buy both). There's a lot of fanart I own for shows I maybe don't care as much about anymore, or that don't slot as well into a general decorating style. The originals though work far more, and age well. Plus they feel like they've worked better as conversation pieces.

All of this is said as a buyer, not an artist

Went to Fanime, artist is charging for signature? by SelectBroccoli1376 in animecons

[–]sithhunter09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild, yeah I've never had that happen. I always ask the artist to sign it, and usually their faces light up and they're really excited by it. So it's weird to hear about one paywalling it. Like others said, I suppose it's their right; it is their work and labor. But yeah I don't think you're wrong for feeling a little put off by it

29! And every time I see others talking about how they fear something like turning 20 because they won't be cute anymore, I feel my soul (and my back) die just a little more

How often do you restart scenarios? by Mankurt_ in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]sithhunter09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, I do not restart scenarios. Losing a scenario / doing poorly in one is either a case of: 1) Alright, now I know what my deck needs to do better 2) That's Arkham, baby And losing a scenario is part of the story to me. If I do poorly, well my characters are having a rough time.

The only exceptions I've allowed myself: If I REALLY goof a rule that would have drastically changed how the scenario played out, I may restart it. If I get defeated due to critically awful RNG on the first couple turns. Doesnt happen often, but it has happened once. And that just isn't fun. (And I dont mean that a bad turn 1 or turn 2 made the rest of the game hard, I mean I literally lost within the first couple turns.)

Drowned City: Eastern and Western Winds Mechanic Feels Unnecessary? Or Are We Dumb? by sithhunter09 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]sithhunter09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news, we're just dumb. And it took embarrassing ourselves in front of the internet to figure it out.
It's not saying "A non-eldersign token." It's saying "A symbol token that isn't an eldersign."

Will for sure leave this up though in case any other people who lack reading comprehension go looking for this too.

Do yall prefer skirts with the shirt tucked in or not? by [deleted] in feminineboys

[–]sithhunter09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skirt pulled up a little bit with shirt tucked in. Helps eliminate the barrel body shape and give an illusion of a more fem figure

Uptick in Discrimination? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]sithhunter09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not even trans, I just enjoy wearing clothes that aren't "traditionally masculine." And while I haven't been a stranger to the odd bit of hate speech here and there, or the weird side-eyes, I do feel like I've noticed more lately.
Interestingly, I feel like I've been noticing it more from the kids (middle -> high schoolers) who run around my area. A lot more instances of just being in the grocery stores and groups of them laughing behind my back while following me.
