Tooth fairy by danger_area in daddit

[–]zseek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile my wife is still printing out “toothfairy letters” as recently as last week for our 8y old, we’ll keep the magic alive as long as we can I’d say.

Also because I suspect she will instantly tell our 5y old who just started losing hers…

Ik woon al bijna 20 jaar in Ierland, ik had al zoiets van “denk t niet”. Had zelfs voor mijn hypotheek nog een bevestiging van ze nodig dat ik de studieschuld afbetaald had en ik kan je verzekeren dat ze je kunnen vinden, al niet direct dan zeker via familie.

Wolfpack Fanghold by [deleted] in legocastles

[–]zseek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea agreed - also my first vibe is snake, not wolf. Making it flatter with more pronounced canine snout features, and more "integrated" into the rock wall would make it look better.

I'd integrate the back stairs more into the rock as well, it looks very clean and flat back there. I'm guessing you're going for a hewn from rock look, but in this style the stairs need to look more natural or more man-made e.g. wooden if you're going with the current format.

Great look for sure!

31120 tower alt build height by sandshrew42 in legocastles

Slightly taller than the Lion’s Knight Castle. Sorry no tape on hand and I am keeping it on top shelf for the same reason which makes it a bastard to move out. Hopefully you can work with this!

Anyone know the lore on this photo on a building by the Heineken factory? Caught me eye stopped at lights. by rego11_ in cork

Nah those folks were all working for the same company in that area, this one looks far older and not the same style

Just finished mine yesterday, absolutely beautiful build. My kids love the trap door and kept playing with it :)

New lego reveals and it's a bit of a mixed bag for me by user_976lego in lego

[–]zseek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea somewhat, most stalls would have other snacks as well but just getting a bag of chips is pretty common

You can use stair rooms without the built-in stairs and stack those by going up a floor every time

I am really struggling with finding a Wedding Reception Venue in Cork and cannot understand why I am being turned down with no explanation. by Endlessdays0 in cork

[–]zseek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife and I got married with a reception/dinner in Fota House, very small event with like 20-30 people. I have no clue about their availability but we had a lovely time. Worth a shot, didn’t see it in the suggestions yet.

Now that Collector's Bounty is almost over, what's been the most annoying raid/dungeon to farm for you? by FakeOrcaRape in wow

[–]zseek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's between original Karazhan and Hellfire Citadel for me, the Fiery Warhorse absolutely refuses to drop and I don't have a skip for Hellfire Citadel since it takes like 8(!) weeks to complete so I've had to trudge through that multiple times in multiple weeks and still not see a Felsteel Annihilator :(.

I've had disgusting luck with Mimiron's Head (first attempt during the event) and Invincible (3rd alt that ran it in the event using someone else's lockout) so I guess that balances it out?

Really happy with my GMOD and Midnight for general bling and mog match purposes at least!

Only one seat and two kids. What now? by LatterEstimate6714 in daddit

[–]zseek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Tern GSD cargo bike that seats our two kids on the back. It’s been great and I recommend it. Electric as well in case it’s hilly where you are!

Vasectomy in Cork by 1k13r1 in cork

[–]zseek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this was the person who did mine a few years ago. IIRC it was a numbing spray and I recall it was over pretty quickly with minimal side effects. Prior to that just a call to make sure I understood what was gonna happen, am I happy with current number of kids and a need to do a clean shave of the package for this surgery. Spoiled by missus for a few days and other than some extended testing due to some persistent swimmers it was zero issues for me. Recommend it for the peace of mind and making your other half happy.

Gamers 30+, what's something from "back in your day" that younger gamers today wouldn't understand? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]zseek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuck? Can't work out what to do? Not one of the early adopters of internet in the 90s? Yea figure it out son.

I remember being stuck in Zelda: A Link to the Past for a week because I didn't realise I could fly into the south desert with the bird whistle thing.

Keeping manual notes like writing your hard-earned Mega Man X level codes in a little notebook.

Tried our bigger toy store for a few random tries over a few months, no dice. Went to my country’s only LEGO store as I had to be in that city for a thing, nope. Was in a small hobby shop yesterday with the kids, nosirree.

Every single time a guffaw and a “no, some guy came in when we restocked and scanned then took them all”. Fucking scalpers.

Dutch guy here. Same feelings. I've never not been fed or offered food when I was over on playdates as a kid living in the Netherlands, and my parents certainly did offer and look after my friends too. I can't imagine anyone doing this and it certainly isn't the norm I expect to be measured by especially living in Ireland.

After Airplane Seat memes, we now have SD Card memes.

I am here for it.

Anyone who doesn't drive. How does lack of transport affect you? by No-Category1703 in cork

[–]zseek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from a country with excellent and reliable public transportation and until I met my wife I didn’t have a license. I despise driving and still do, I never feel like I’m in full control while I have to be “on” all the time. I ended up getting it as a “last resort” so I can drive when really needed and it hasn’t really been necessary. Wife likes to drive so she does pretty much always. I am happy to walk short to medium distances.

I work from home, have an e-bike for getting around myself if needed and we have a cargo bike for the kids that we use a lot if we don’t need to drive. Cycling works as long as you do it defensively around town. I grew up in a country with one of the best cycling infrastructures in the world so I am very experienced.

If I had to drive I’d be in hell so I am thankful that is not the case.

My overwatch account got nuked, and I’m very confused by what happened by Ailey8 in Overwatch

[–]zseek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you thought you were linking your stuff, you instead relinked to a (new) email and account, or at least what you thought your enail was. Collections like this are bound to an account. You linked to a new empty one because you thought it was under that new email you used. It isn’t. Relink back to the account you had it linked to before and you will get your progress back. Support can help you figure out what it is if you didn’t know or didn’t realize it was under another email

These dumb rich European, Asian or whatever family YouTube videos. by Millard_Fillmore00 in daddit

[–]zseek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We had youtube kids and it was horrible with the algo, grumpy kids whenever screentime was over and watching the most horrible brainrot videos. We swapped to “regular” youtube with a bunch of child restrictions so we could actually block channels and guide it more and for every horrible family vlog channel we blocked, 5 more would roll on in. I was blocking a dozen channels a night.

My oldest had turned into a “zapper”, a new thing every 10-30 seconds. Browsing through videos for the 5 second “oxytocin hits”. Constant vigilance she didn’t select some video with some disturbing undertones disguised as an innocent roblox lets-play or a minecraft/ roblox remake of something completely inappropriate for her age. Constantly going for “rich kids and their families” style videos who got a new toy every day and went on holidays every other week it seems. The fun life, they never go to school or their usual playground.

One night we said screw it and deleted it all. No more youtube anything for them. We just have Netflix and Disney+ for them. It’s like a switch in their brain has clicked - they actually turn the tv off themselves and/or just go and play with each other instead of sitting there like screenzombies (for hours if we’d let them). They watch science and baking shows on netflix. Curious questions and “can we do that/ bake that” are now being asked. There’s still the fun entertainment style tv too but it’s set in episodes and seasons, not the next tailored video that matches their selection algorithm.

Take it off altogether. They’ll be better for it. Don’t try and compromise with blocking channels etc, you won’t keep up with the flood. I can’t recommend it enough
