Thank you!! <3

 

Hi everyone. First off, I want to say that I haven't been especially active here for quite some time as life has been quite a struggle, and I just haven't really been in a headspace to socialize. I feel awful asking for help from a community I've not really been able to participate much in or donate to, but I don't know what else to do right now and I'm kind of terrified.

I have been struggling with some health problems recently of an ambiguous nature, and today I made the discovery that my bedroom AC unit has been leaking behind the paneling of the wall and slowly flooding the underside of the carpet padding near the wall. I cut into the padding and made the terrible discovery I was already kind of half expecting at that point, the whole thing was fucked with mold, and I am going to have to replace at least a full section of dry wall, carpet, padding, and floorboard. On top of that, it's very likely I will have to dispose of my mattress and bedding.

I already live off of assistance as I'm unemployed and disabled, so losing the place I sleep at night in one fell swoop with no money to fall back on has been one of the most painful things I've experienced in a long time. I know a lot of you are also struggling, and I know it's audacious of me to ask, but I sincerely need help and don't know who else to turn to at this time. Any money you can donate at all will be a huge help, even if it's just enough to pay for a bit of plywood. I don't really know the best way to organize this kind of thing, but I have a paypal I can send to anyone who DMs me. I am so deeply sorry to have to ask for help, and I want anybody who even took the time to read this to know that I really appreciate their time.

This is a Brazilian pizza. They love doing these dessert combo pizzas for some reason. Easily identified by the whole green olives present.

There are 8 varieties of gluons, the subatomic particles that exchange the strong force between quarks. The person answered with one word that more or less satisfied the 8 particle requirement. I think that's the joke, at least

my ping is normally sub 100, and I have XIVAlexander installed to allow me to double weave with a slightly high ping. Hasn't been an issue for me so far, but I'm not exactly doing Savage raids or anything yet

I am unfortunately on an EU data center >< Specifically Chaos. I live in NA but started playing FF14 to join an EU friend. One day I'll probably make an alt on an NA datacenter when I'm caught up on MSQ, though. Fwiw I'll still :3c you about my progress if you want lol

Of course I'm keen on a new friend to play/chat with! What data center are you on? ^^

Heyyy I've been playing! Currently still trying to catch up to current content, almost done with Stormblood. I enjoyed Heavensward a lot but Stormblood is kind of dragging for me. Eager to get to Shadowbringers soon, I've heard its by far the best expansion

I absolutely love classic roguelikes. I didn't love ADOM despite playing it a fair amount, but I do love DCSS, Caves of Qud, Cogmind, Cataclysm, and quite a few more, albeit to a lesser degree. I love games that demand you learn their systems inside and out to even have a chance at winning. I love the sense of stakes that roguelikes create and the experiences that emerge from the fear of losing everything. I also generally tend to be quite critical of heavy RNG elements in roguelikes and I fucking hate deckbuilder games in general, but I like having to measure and mitigate the risk of unexpected and unfavorable situations on the fly and come up with impromptu solutions to interesting problems. Loss is expected, and while you can learn from loss, sometimes you're left feeling like the cards just weren't in your favour, and I think that's something that a lot of people who play these kinds of games just come to accept. A lot of people see it as senseless masochism, but in my experience with the games I've listed above, losing can genuinely be fun. There is a sense of loss, but these games to me are also in part story generators. I've had many experiences in all of them that I remember very fondly, and a lot of those stories end with loss.

My particular fixation with them might be because of autism though. I have well over a thousand hours in several (probably multiple thousand in Cata) and tend to come back to them for comfort, so I probably just really like bad games

Oh, I'm sure we were in the minority, I just thought it was amusing enough to bring up. My group did experience quite a few bugs but not much I would call major.

I really didn't walk away from the game my first handful of hours thinking it was more polished than BG3 on release. I had to bail from our MP game because my inventory was rapidly filling with undroppable self replicating meat lmao

If you mean the thing about them refusing to pick up ammo, yeah, it was fixed a bit ago. They can still be a little fiddly, but it isn't a nightmare getting an archery squad working like it was before.
