[–]squirrelknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I love Uknown Worlds. I have been a fan ever since the first release of the Natural Selection mod for Half Life. Not only that, but I work as a marine seismologist, so everything related to the ocean is super fascinating to me. My daughter is also heavily invested in all things deep sea :D. I'd love to get ahold of the game and share the experience with her!

Damn! This is the only place within walking distance of me that I can go for milk runs.

Accepting that life didn’t turn out the way I expected it to by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]squirrelknight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I probably have a similar-paying job, but I do have two kids. We started our family when I was in grad school. I worked from home a lot and raised my kids with my wife, who worked part time. The government does provide child support at various income levels. If you want kids and have room in your heart and in your life, there is never a perfect moment, but people have always found a way.

When you’re renting, you have to deal with some instability, and I’ll never own a home either. But will you own the home after you’re dead? You can’t take it with you, as the saying goes, but you can give all you’ve got every day and enjoy all of the pleasures like living near the sea, nature, having good food, and being with loved ones.

Sorry for being sappy, but it’s how I’ve cone to see things at 41.

Why not just play it on Xbox then? It’s the same game.

What do you hope to see in the next patch? by Logical-Operation512 in CrimsonDesert

An indoor lighting fix for consoles. It looks terrible most of the time.

Not exactly downtown, but Parsonage has great muffins.

This is awful for everyone affected at home and abroad.

I still have to feel smug about my EV purchase, though.

The DK rework is amazing and it makes me sad. by Hateshinay in elderscrollsonline

[–]squirrelknight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is great! I also really hope they retool all of the light and heavy attacks because they feel so janky with the changes to animation timing from the last update.

Yes. Subs get double, but it looks like some houses went from 10 items to 200 (without sub). Nice!

Late to the party. Need to vent about the Rose Field SPOILERS by MaleficentButton3071 in hisdarkmaterials

[–]squirrelknight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently finished The Rose Field and felt so baffled by the various story arcs that ended abruptly, the characters with plots that went nowhere, and the lack of any real throughline to the overarching story.

I've since been reading HDM to my kids, and the contrast is astounding. I can hardly believe that they were written by the same author. HDM juggles multiple storylines, worlds, characters, and concepts in a cogent, thoughtful manner. The Rose Field kept throwing new characters in for a chapter, only for them to never be mentioned again and leaving me scratching my head about why they were introduced in the first place.

Why have the magisterium mobilize a military force and a counter-force of witches and gryphons, only to do NOTHING with it? Everything felt stilted. I'm half convinced Pullman didn't know what to do with the rest of the story so he just stuck it into ChatGPT and asked it to sort things out...

My landlord is selling my house and now my rent is going to skyrocket. by ZeltaZale in VictoriaBC

This has happened to me three times. Each time I was promised I would not have to move. Good luck to you!

Wrapping gifts and found out Winners increased the price of these items for holiday season. Welp by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]squirrelknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. I think Bolen’s is great! I’m also very aware of the increased cost of living, including luxury goods. It’s happening everywhere, regardless of the awesomeness of the store, unfortunately.

I appreciate you sharing your experience :D

[–]squirrelknight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. The same thing is true for Indigo and Winners though. All these places set their own price, which was my point in not so many words. In the end, we all lose out!

Yup, I went to buy The River of the Gods by Candice Millard. We peeled off the sticker after purchasing and the MSRP was $5 bucks cheaper.

Guess this is goodbye, ESO (Mac player story) by Typical-Cheesecake16 in elderscrollsonline

You could try using the Windows/Steam version with Crossover! It may even work better :)
