    I've noticed since the whispers update that tons and tons of console enjoyers have their mic keyed and active the entire time seemingly unknowingly. I assume it's unknowingly anyway, super rude to just not care that you're blasting your squad with crappy mic static and heavy breathing.

    According to Snap's end-of-season report, Agent 13 was my best card during this season, having the highest win-rate for me this season.

    Also, I took Agent 13 out of my Reveal deck because it wasn't really doing anything much for me. Which means Agent 13 was only in my most-used deck during the lower rankings where I had an easy time beating on the bots. By the time I started facing actual people, Agent 13 was no longer in my deck, so...

    Most bathroom exhaust fans are literally just a metal box plugged into a two pronged outlet, no fancy wiring or nothing. The cover might be tricky to take off, it's usually held by some springy wires in tension. But generally speaking if it is the fan that needs replacing, you just unscrew the metal box, stick a new one in there, and plug it in like... like a desktop fan.

    It's unfortunate how much better mcdavid is than the ahl baby penguins

    I'm not sure who I blame the most for this, Rutherford who decided the team wasn't tough enough to win a cup (the year they won their 2nd back to back) and traded half the talent to get a bunch of tough strong guys that are bad at hockey but also big and strong and tough

    Or hextall who traded tanev and mccann (Seattle franchise leading scorer) to keep Jeff carter's retirement plan on track

    Just barely managed to sneak into Infinite this season. I had finally unlocked Hazmat, and so managed to take a High Evo deck to 99/4 before hitting a wall and slowly falling back to 96. Then spent a key to see if I could get Proxima, did, and got carried to the finish line by Collector Discard.

    I'd have sworn there was a hard camera lock in Rise? I always used it in World and I feel like I'd have immediately noticed the absence and been concerned by it with the little time I put into Rise.

    Now I have to check...

    I do seem to recall something like it not locking onto small mobs the same way in World as it does a proper monster? Maybe it's that? Or a setting? edit:

    I remember the 3DS game being just as slow and plodding as this one...which is weird, as I thought Rise was supposed to be the wacky fast one. But I don't remember it being this difficult to control. And it had the nub stick and worse shoulder buttons. The mount is good at least, if they're stubbornly committed to making you chase monsters still, like 20 years on.

    There are damage numbers...but they're meaningless, because I can't see how much HP the monsters have. I can see I do 10 damage with one move and 20 with another...but, like, does the monster have 500 HP? 50,000? No idea how long I need to hit it at 20 per hit. No clue of my relative power level, if I need to upgrade a weapon, nothing.

    That doesn't make numbers meaningless at all as that is missing one of the most important uses of damage numbers: comparison to other attacks and weapons.

    But I can already compare two weapons in the menu. I don't need to hit something to know the one with a higher number will do more damage.

    I need to know what percentage of the total hp it does. It's a waste of time working to double the damage number if I need to go elsewhere and return when I'm doing 500 times more damage.

    It's not that simple, each part of the monster has a different hit zone value, and your attacks have different attack values as well. It helps you understand which attacks of yours are most efficient when hitting certain parts of a monster.

    i.e. you start hitting a Nargacuga's claws with your sword and you see a gray 50 pop up, but then you hit its tail with the same attack and it's a 130. You have now understood that your attacks are more effective when attacking its tail.

    The monsters not having an HP bar is part of the game's core, you have to observe the monster to know if it's tired, enraged, hurt, etc.. adding an HP bar takes away a lot of the core experience. I've played with people that used mods to see HP bars for the monster and each individual part and it was incredibly boring to know exactly when a part would break or when the monster would die. I stopped playing with them because of this, as it became too MMO-esque for my taste.

    That's not what I was saying at all...

    I'm not even a monster hunter person but this is like one of the most basic uses of damage numbers in video games.

    Every attack applies your weapons damage differently. Every kind of weapon applies its damage differently. Seeing the actual damage of those different attacks is the only way to actually compare those things.

    I stopped playing Monster Hunter when I was tasked with taking down an undead dragon whose proximity reduces your maximum health over time and the only way to get equipment that negates the mechanic is to use the parts from said dragon. That was easily the least fun fight I had in the game since I mained Lance and my entire thing was tanking hits then poking, but reduces health meant even chip damage was dangerous.

    However I am apparently also a crazy person for enjoying fighting the wind dragon because I can sit in all his bluster and break his face

    Whelp. I think I get to live in this thread now.

    I've wanted my own place for a while. However, the insane rising costs combined with my own depression and dealing with family stuff has caused me to put it off - to say nothing of the debt I've incurred by not actually saving so far in my life.

    On Saturday, I got a letter informing me about my rental renewal.

    For context:

    My apartment is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath on the 3rd floor. I moved into this place in May 2014, paying $805/mo on a yearly contract. This rent remained unchanged until 2021. There were many periods when the other rentals were not occupied. But that has changed recently due to a major car manufacturer moving into town, on top of all the rest of the housing BS out there. I have only been late once on a payment, and that was due to a bank processing issue - and it was by 1 day.

    In 2021, my rent went up to $815 a year.

    In 2023, I got a letter saying my apartment was valued at $1,000/month. They expressed the need to keep rent in line with these rates, but as a "Thank you" they would give me two offers. I could sign a year contract for $865/mo, or I could switch to month to month for $915. I knew that I was unlikely to get a house last year as I was still dropping debt, so I went year to year.


    Cue Saturday.. when I got nearly the exact same letter. This time, it says my apartment was valued at $1,200/month. They are offering me a yearly contract at $940/month ($75/mo more), or a monthly contract of $990 ($125 more).

    I can see the writing on the wall... They are trying to use the boiling pot method to get me back up to where they think this apartment should go for. And I admit, I'm likely paying well below market value! But.. it's time to go.

    The problem is that I've spent all this time paying down my CC debt, and don't have a down payment. Everyone says I can get first time homeowner's support, but.. well, I don't really want some ancient place. I also don't want a McMansion or the ugly stuff they are building out in the edges of town with no trees and massive buildings. I want to stay close to my family and my work, and the various places I hang out.

    So I guess the question is... how should I go about starting to calculate things? I make $85k before tax. My big debts are $220 for student loans, $350 for my car (that will be paid off in about 6-8 months), and 9k in credit card debt (Christmas and Retail Therapy with my dad's passing saw me spend way more than I should).

    I belong to a credit union, that should be a good starting place to look into pre-approval. I'm just super worried about the process. Oh, and I 100% must hire movers. I'm in no condition to move all my crap myself. In fact, I am debating getting a storage unit to temporarily move things out of my apartment and make it easier to clean up... but that's another $100 or so to get climate controlled storage.

    Just to be clear, the storage unit would be to get things down off the 3rd floor here, and make room for packing more stuff / cleaning. It's decluttering, essentially, though I admit selling stuff is the preferable route.

    Good news, everyone! The fan is actually fine. The circuit breaker it was on got tripped somehow. I only figured it out when I got home tonight and found the string lights we have in our front porch area were off despite being on a timer. Inspection of the timer revealed that it had lost power at the same time when the fan shut off. Anyway, everything works now, but I'm going to keep an eye on that breaker. It had been tripped when we did the home inspection a year and a half ago.

    Carpy, if that's directed at me.. I'm.. not? I fully intend to take advantage of a first time homeowner bonus if I can get one. About the only thing I am going to try and avoid taking advantage of is my mom's offer to let me crash at the house for a few months.. because while I love my mom, I don't want to get complacent (like I already have).
