Depends on the supplier. Cost of lumber did go up pretty dramatically after covid so expect it to be more expensive but that does sound overpriced.

I’d call around and see if you can find a better deal.

Fr. Can’t just drop a post like this and not share.

I like my flint 2 router from GL.Inet. Uses openwrt on the back end but has a more normal interface in the frontend with the back end still accessible if you want it.

And you can install whatever firmware you want.

Haha hes a very happy kitty. He loves being touched in almost every way.

First of all, that sounds harsh coming from a friend. Its OK to be critical, but insulting an idea like that is pretty rude and not constructive at least from what you’ve put here. You should reevaluate your friendship with this friend if that is an accurate portrayal of how they said this.

Second, your story sounds like a normal super hero story which isnt a bad thing. Theres this weird idea that you need to come up with super original concepts to be successful in art but that’s not really true. If you do something that someone’s done before, but different enough, and do it well, people will probably like it.

So yea, write your story man, not because you think people will or won’t read it, but because you want to do it.

I appreciate the transparency that you used AI.

I’m not opposed to those who use it, especially in projects where its used as a tool and not a replacement for human beings.

Man I fucking love the wiki bear skit. So good.

“Imagine trying to breath but instead of air, your lungs feel with sweet molasses, yum yum!”

That gave me a good laugh. Gnome doesnt feel right to me at all man. To each his own.

But yea, sicko fr

I fucking love that little goblin in the corner. What a masterpiece

According to an LTT video that broke down thier revenue about 11 months ago, 45% of your premium sub is divided among creators that you watch.

Not sure how thats calculated, but it seems to be a pretty sizable chunk according to LTT.

Nothing wrong with that. I pay for YouTube premium. Tbh I got fed up with all the hoops on mobile so I just started paying for it and honestly, its been a good fit for me.

I watch a ton of YouTube content so paying for it to support creators and not having ads is fine with me.

Guides helped a lot for me. Also just watching people who routinely did good in ascension 20 was beneficial.

Some general advice that helped me quite a bit was:

Take on as many elite enemy’s as possible without dying. They make you stronger from the relics they give as well as the card rewards and potion drops.

Remove strikes and defends from your deck while adding new cards. You want to keep a smaller deck typically, but having draw cards is also great to help you get through your deck more quickly.

Upgrade cards as much as you can. Upgraded cards help you scale for fights.

Look at the map before doing anything on each act. You can plan a route and see what is the best path based on your character or what you start with.

All that said, each run is different but the more you play, the more informed you are so you can make better choices each run based on what you know.

I may give balatro another go at some point, but just didn’t give me the same feeling that slay the spire did.

They also added a mechanic to fix broken weapons with the rock octorock but they didn’t really make it obvious and its still weird they didn’t let you repair weapons any other way.

Oh man if I ever have kids, this is absolutely gonna be me.

I like avocado. Raw, unseasoned by itself, it tastes good to me. Even better on toast or with something else.

Me and the girlfriend had them on BLTs we made the other day. Shits delicious.

Haha that is funny, I loved slay the spire. On lower ascensions, I would do pretty well, but after ascension 8, I struggled hard. I think the best I got was 12 or something on all the characters. Past that in couldn’t win most runs.

Balatro felt much more punishing for some reason I guess. Slay the spire has more strategy and skill based mechanics which i think made it more fun or at least, had mechanics that I could more easily enjoy/understand. In Balatros defense, I didn’t unlock everything so maybe thats why i didn’t enjoy it as much.

Dude I was gonna say balatro too. That game is fucking hard as hell.

I played it for a few days and man, it felt so unfair each time.

Slay the spire felt much more fair. When I failed then, it felt like it was my fault more often than not. In Balatro though, nah man. Shits rigged lol.

I would also take a headphone jack if we could swing that.

I’m a FAM of silicone eartips for sure. Better seal, better fit, more comfortable.

I can’t stand the hard plastic earbuds man. Hurts my ears and they dont fit as well.
