Late night movie review.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

A movie on the power of narratives.

I love this movie so much. It shows teens in truly terrifying situations, supernatural situations. The teens are smart, brave, determined, co-operative and caring, and resourceful in facing danger and solving their problems.

4 hobbits.

@Seagoon_
Must try it. Really enjoyed watching 'ZONE OF INTEREST' on Stan
A chilling holocaust film.

I can say this honestly and without hyperbole: this place and the people in it have had a significant positive impact on my life. Thank you everyone for all your help, advice and care during the last 6 months.

I am so incredibly grateful that we have this place to hang out ❀️

I have the vision of how I'm going to design the covers of the antique chairs. After getting all the different vintage fabrics, which all have a baroque theme, I can see there is a blue green palette and red beige palette, so those will be the designs. With black stained wood finish it will look cool.

Guzman y Gomez is, hands down, the best fast food joint.

One opened on Sydney Rd and I've been there 5 times already lol, it's too good!!

Edit: also been playing Breach Wanderers and this guy is an asshole and killed my run. Just wanted to shame them here

Is this the same one as the one I found on the App Store?

It looks like a f2p game with quite a few in app purchases of card packs.

I’m playing a roguelike action game called Astral Ascent at the moment myself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is a f2p and there is a cash shop, but it is tiny. And I haven't bought anything from it, and haven't felt the need to. The progression plays like a normal game that has quests, and it isn't really p2w either. You can earn all currencies by just playing.

I'll check that one out, love me rogue-likes :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Ahh ok. I might try it out on my phone.

Astral Ascent is on consoles and steam. Action focused.

My only advice would be to check your portions. They regularly miss ingredients or only half-fill tacos. Pretty forthcoming with crediting your account but that's only helpful for your next visit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I haven't had a problem with them yet lol, but will keep my eye on my nachos!

Have you managed to get past depth level 2? I got to the last boss of level 3 then got fucked on hard.

Who the fuck does 95 damage in one hit?!?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I have unlocked depth 3, but didn't get to the boss. I got popped by some abomination two nodes in haha! I've been leveling up the frost mage and the assassin lady to try and get further. I can't decide who I like more, or whether I should unlock more characters, I have plenty of gold.

Edit: I actually cannot stop playing, this is a really good game! I like the story too, it makes it feel grounded. Thank you for mentioning it on the dt Gibs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Glad you like it! The blood mage is the strongest free character you can get.

I spent the 10 bucks and got the rest of them because I feel like I've gotten more than 10 bucks worth of value from it.

"Smooth 91.5" can fuck off. I've developed retail rage toward hearing the same fucking songs every Wednesday

You've both made an enemy today! Only for today though, so 2:54 remaining.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

But it's smooth :(

Once again, big thank you to a couple of posters here that have helped me out of a bad situation.

I haven't named them in case they prefer to stay anonymous, but guys, you are absolute bloody legends!!! I never heard back from that reference guy. He legit just disappeared off the face of the earth...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I was actually considering reaching out for you, but I've never referenced anyone before. I'm somewhat good at bullshitting, but probably not very good at sounding like a boss dog

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you in the clear yet as far as references go?

Not cool that your previous reference guy disappeared :(

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thankfully a poster has offered to speak to the recruiter for me tomorrow πŸ™‚

In fact a couple of posters offered to lend a hand, for which I am incredibly grateful and quite honestly humbled. Without the help of some of the people in this forum, I would not even be in consideration to start work next week.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m sure people here won’t let you down but if there is an emergency I can try to help though I’m not in the field of IT and I’ve never been a reference for anyone before so I’d need some help or coaching.

Please let us know what happens, we would all love to see everything work out for you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you ❀️ I genuinely appreciate that πŸ™‚ Same goes in return. If yourself or anyone needs a reference, I'm happy to help!
