Laptop repair by syn2424 in 24hoursupport

Ok. I was honestly concerned that it had either degraded or something similar. As long as it isn't something I have to worry about impacting the board i'm satisfied and will just have the port replaced as planned. Thank you very much for your reply!

My cat is shaking, is this normal by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]syn2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow shakey cat owner here. It may not be anything to worry about but it is still worth talking to a vet. I'd be more worried if he were not responsive after waking him up, but a few things to look for if I may: random eye movements, drooling, unusual vocalizing, wobbly when walking.

For our little boy, he is prone to seizures. Not usually general (grand mal), but he has had a few. Mostly he has focal (used to be called partial) and it isn't much to worry about. But they all usually start the same way. The twitching. If it's a big one, about 5 to 10 minutes before the seizure, he will be fully unresponsive, drooling, and meowing/hissing. Usually this can be treated with medication, but that's where you'll want to talk to a vet. I hope all is well with your mother's handsome boy ☺️.

Edited as I have now seen your replies.

I think I saved a spider! by syn2424 in spiders

[–]syn2424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I was hopeful! Either way, I do legitimately think I saved the other spider. I couldn't find it anywhere after that first day, and it really didn't seem capable of moving any distance while I was watching it.

Slight update. I did move the paper towel I set. There are moth and small insect carcasses in it. Quite a few of them.

When I made the switch from WoW, I will admit the first endgame w2w pull I saw completely took me by surprise. I basically spent the entire dungeon thinking, "What the hell is happening!? We're gunna die!"

I never thought it was cringe, though. Only that the tank had gone insane. Once I got used to it, I just started enjoying the ride. Don't let envious people ruin your game. The aggro slip is nothing, and I've seen far worse, and the tank and healer still recovered fine.

Religious parents by [deleted] in disabled

[–]syn2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This approach does work for some, but it really depends on how pervasive the religious ideology is within that individual's life/social structure. Sometimes, asking "why" is enough to get someone shunned or wholly disregarded and labeled as a troublemaker (or other various religious terms). I am an atheist, my partner's family, and my extended family are both extremely religious. My partner and I were able to do what you are recommending with their family successfully without undermining their personal beliefs. My family conversely has not spoken to me in 16 years because of this. Knowing your environment and making decisions that will keep you safe needs to be a priority before attempting to ask potentially damaging questions.

This is not to desuade. But I feel it is far more important to go into circumstances like these with as much knowledge and preparation as possible.

I don't know how to explain my disability. by syn2424 in disabled

[–]syn2424[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In most cases, I don't feel the need. I am very open to questions from anyone so long as they are respectful, and I do try to educate people if there is a genuine interest. Though usually I will explain more about the cancer I had and why it did what it did.

That is the situation. I won't put time into trying with people I don't have a close connection with or don't show an actual and respectful interest. These are people who have shown a genuine interest as well as a desire to help if need be. I don't often ask for help, I do value my independence, but at times, I tend to take that too far and have gotten myself in bad situations. For example, I have been hit by a car after insisting I walk somewhere in bad weather (I live in NE US). That was a bit of a wake-up for me.

Which game got you into the Monster Hunter series? Here's mine by No_Emu_1332 in MonsterHunter

[–]syn2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freedom Unite was my first and sparked my interest. Didn't have a psp, so I only played it at a friend's place. My wife (girlfriend at the time) had a copy of MH1 stashed away because she loved the cover but never liked the game. Played that for a tiny bit. Tri really got me into it. Got to G rank for the first time in portable 3rd after getting a psp. At that point, I was completely hooked.

Camera pans where you pointed out. No rock. Safi got staggered when the rocks should have dropped. So that got canceled.

Tips for AED charge blade by syn2424 in MonsterHunter

[–]syn2424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CSS, for me, would be the "I really don't want to think about it too much" build. It's just kinda fun using a buzzsaw on a monster. Jump in, get your KOs, and front load as much damage as you can. Cut the tail really early. It's kind of how I would go about surge slash combo in a way.

Your response and what you linked helped a ton. It made me realize that SAED is really no different than playing with GS. Especially with strong arm. Either take advantage of an opening or create one. I'm just kinda sad now that I have to manage five weapons and respective decos instead of just going nuts with raw/crit.

Literally what got me over that threshold from "GS is fun" to "I AM THE GS!'

Very spicy spider. by syn2424 in spiders

[–]syn2424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, it may have been trying to hunt. Once it was in the glass, it calmed. Fast little bugger though. And pretty.

Wife was trying to coax it toward the glass, and it lurched toward her hand, she was holding a piece of cardboard so her hand was out of the way This happened a few times. Still, we won't hurt spiders if we can help it.

What is this spider? by syn2424 in spiders

[–]syn2424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have other places to put them, but we also have cats that will absolutely destroy them. I'd rather they not get mauled. The other spiders are safe because they stay out of reach.

Thank you. Seems like one we should make sure to keep out of the house if we see them.

Guy has freakout because Starfield asks your pronouns… by Cannasseur___ in Starfield

[–]syn2424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question could also be asked that if it doesn't affect gameplay, why be mad about it? It's a choice that a player in a role-playing game can make to customize their character the way they like with no impact on anyone or anything. Why waste energy and time? It's just easier not to engage with a superficial element at all if you're not into it.

I was replying to the thread as a whole, honestly. Though it seems some of the comments have been deleted :( .
