A single handful of candy corn is all I can handle for a year.

"Never take your friends for granite."

"It's alright, Alex. I know you're not made of stone."

Is that a request?

Kinda depends on their gender, in my experience. Guys without a profile and pics of just themselves not really doing much are usually just looking for a hookup. The girls without a profile are usually what is generally accepted as highly attractive and probably don't even care because everyone will like them.

I have yet to actually have someone talk to me on any of these apps beyond saying hello or asking how my day is. I had better luck actually finding people to talk to, get to know, then set up a date through Craigslist back when it had a personals section.

I mean that it's quite a leap going from making, like, a text-based adventure in C++ or BASIC and changing/adding lines of code to someone else's thing making mods to doing actual, professional level programming of systems I have never even fucked with for fun. Like, I can't make the screen display an image. I don't know how to do any sort of networking, at least from a programming standpoint (hardware and shit, no problem; I was CISCO and A+ certified at one point).

I guess if all they need me to do is make what is essentially a database or calculator, I could do that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It did that in a myriad of ways too, not even just the wind. Foxes take you to shrines, there are flocks of birds that indicate haiku spots, and golden parrots that lead you to pretty much any of the POIs you have not yet found. There is even an outfit that comes with a firefly that glows when you're nearby certain rare items.

I absolutely love it.

Speaking seriously, it might make you change your opinion. They're really close in my book. The Mollusk is right behind them.

I have a NSFW image relevant to this conversation but I don't know if I can post it... 🤔

They won't let me vote multiple times because I'm not a Republican :(

Let's say that it actually was illegal immigrants "stealing your job." Who is actually hiring them in the first place, hm? Even if it was true, the anger shouldn't be directed at the immigrants.

12 Golden Country Greats says hello, Mr. Richard Smoker.

 

I've found quite a few things talking about this in the Blighted Village, one of which was hidden pretty well. But I'm not getting any kind of journal entry about it, can't talk to any NPCs about it, etc. It kinda feels like there should be something more here but it's been cut or just very well hidden.

 

Or other places. Who wouldn't have a crisis if they stumbled upon their own posts in /r/niceguys or /r/LeopardsAtMyFace?

 

Just wondering about how my life could have touched someone else's and I realized this. Maybe you're just joking around online and mention something that triggers an idea in someone else that leads to revolutionary new things that impact humans everywhere. Even if you're forgotten, or uncredited, you had a meaningful contribution.

 

When I moved to Lemmy, I saw a thing for Matrix in the profile area and checked out that and have been sitting in a furry room for like a month. I just started actually looking at it and of the only 2 active people who talk, one is an incel and the other has a nazi fetish so I noped on out. The other issue is I constantly get PM'd by underage users looking for sex RP.

Anyone have any recommendations less... Uncomfortable?

 

Like... Skinny people have the waist band of their pants almost up to their belly button; I keep the back of mine over my ass, but the front under my gut (cuz I'm fat), so they kinda sit at a 45 degree angle from front to back.

 

Or how many others block me for mine and thus never have the joy of reading my comments. 😞

 

Like, can I send everyone but 1 character to camp, strip naked and start the fight so it's just 1v1 against a naked dude while I put my shit back on and kick his ass?

I'm just entering the Gauntlet now and I'm gonna try if no one else has done it to know.

 

Shouldn't it be the most comfortable temperature? 🤔

 

The first time through the game, up until I got into the Grymforge, everything was pretty normal. But here things start to break majorly and I can't even figure out why or if it's just a random bug that not everyone would experience.

I get the quest to kill the duergar from the myconids, find their little camp with the boats, fight then all and return to the myconids. I am then tasked with killing the True Soul Nere at their encampment across the water. At the same time, I have a quest to rescue the Deep Gnomes the duergar are using as slaves. All good. I take the boat across, push the dude who shows up on the trip and kill all the duergar again. We arrive, and it's like nothing happened. I'm talking to everyone pretending to be friends and looking around the place before planning how to fight everything. I haven't left the boat area yet, talking to all I see and everyone keeps saying Nere is trapped and needs rescuing. But then I go up the stairs leaving the docks, go left until I enter a room with lava and see Nere, dead. Not trapped. Not even like 10 feet from the duergar telling me he needs help. I turn around to go back and maybe tell someone but all the NPCs are now gone. The whole dungeon is now empty except for some animated armor and all the mini bosses around the actual forge.

I figured this has to do with me killing all the duergar before even arriving at the main camp someone, but now I have arrived here on an entirely new guy, having not killed a single duergar yet, and the same damn thing happens. Even weirder, despite him no longer being harassed, Shitstick still warns me about the cursed lands when I attempt to enter the elevator for the first time. The quest to rescue the Deep Gnomes is stuck with a marker that leads to absolutely nothing. The only gnomes I have found in the place was one who threatened to blow us all up and the dead ones being kicked into the water right near the boat's arrival point.

What is up with this? Has anyone else had this problem at all? What is supposed to happen here? Like, can I actually talk to Nere, alive, and not simply through Speak with Dead? It feels like it's skipping over an entire quest the moment I arrive and just triggering the end point.

The other is that for some reason, everyone is acting like Lae'zel killed Shadowhart and that Shadowhart is absent from the party; despite that never happening and the cutscenes being made even funnier because she's just standing there in the background while people say she's dead.

 

Ever since I moved in here, I've hated the landscaping service. They send like 20 dudes who spend all day in one small area of the complex running leaf blowers and just jacking up the plants. The first week the flowers started blooming, the bastards cut all the flowers off. Likely to be sold somewhere as they were cut with shears at the right angle for putting in a vase with water. So we only had flowers making the area look and smell nice for about a day.

They have completely removed all of the greenery in the little corridor that leads from the parking lot to the first open grass area inside the complex. None of it was dead, it just needed a light little trim. They just ripped it the fuck out. Half the shrubs that are meant to be squared off little barriers, have huge gaps and holes in them from where they trimmed too much. I only know they are doing a shit job there because I have taken ornamental horticulture classes and was quite good at it.

They are the most used landscapers in this entire area and it really shows; everywhere they operate has absolutely awful landscaping.

 

So I'm sitting here looking at a black widow on my porch and it's a big fat fucker. I wanted to take a pic but I don't want to get too close. Yet the image my camera picks up looks like I am trying to snap the pic from the opposite wall of the porch when I'm only about 2 feet from the spider. Why is that?
