    Skyrim - Dragonborn DLC is way better then Dawnguard DLC. Fight me! 😂

      I’ve only ever had them both (also hearthstone) at the same time, so I can’t really separate them. I enjoyed them both, though. I like that island is distinct from Skyrim. I find the ash depressing after a while though and look forward to getting it over and done with.

      I’m not a fan of the plane of oblivion inside the books, either. Some people love that aesthetic, I did not.

      On Dawnguard, I never liked the castle either. Also depressing and wouldn’t want the vampire life. I completed the vampire tree for the achievement, then cured vampirysm immediately.

        I think I prefer Dragonborn because it is open world like Skyrim, it isn’t linear, there are quests unrelated to the main quest to do (like in Raven Rock, and Skaal Village). There’s cool Morrowind vibes towards the south with the Telvanni wizard and his mushroom house. And the voice acting feels real, as in there is emotion and nuance, and there is humour in the way they speak. It feels fun and interesting! I like the mash of Nord and Dunmer culture on the one island, and the Skaal being removed from Nord culture and having their own belief and culture.

        I dislike Dawnguard because of it’s linear-ness. It’s feels very one-track, and you have to take Serana with you (I like my follower Borghak the Steel-Heart and she’s my bae). I dislike vampirism, and I dislike being led on a one-track quest system. I have both installed, and honestly I think I’ll just avoid Dawnguard this play through haha.

        The ash can get depressing, but I don’t mind it - it just looks like snow to me 😂

    Not that exciting in comparison to everyone else living their best life here I guess, but my dad’s old friend from his HS and early adult life msgd me today. She has photos of when I was a kid. She’s gonna send them to me. The gratitude I feel to her is immense, I couldn’t express it properly to her. I’m so happy to finally have some childhood photos.

    I’m gonna surprise dad with them, he doesn’t have any of me either so I hope he’ll be stoked too.

    This friend of dad’s has done me such a solid, I thanked her so so much. I don’t even care if dad doesn’t care, I’m just happy to have some photos of my childhood.

      That’s really nice, I wonder if there’s a good way to preserve them so you don’t lose them.

      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I’m gonna see about photocopying then, mostly so dad has them too (we both don’t have any), but also so I can preserve them!

    I’ve got 2 episodes to go in the latest Kdrama that I’m watching (It’s Okay Not To Be Okay) and URGGG the temptation to just read what happens in them is really getting to me. I have no idea where the storyline is going to go and of course the last episode ended up with a big cliffhanger. It’s been an absolutely batshit ride - as a lot of Kdramas are, tbh, but this is a different level and I have no idea what they’re gonna pull in the last 2 episodes.

    Empty inbox achieved. Vet visits booked for both Miss Meow and Mr Woof to have checkups. Car service enquiry sent. It looks like I’m having an efficient day today.

      I rarely manage to get it quite empty. If I can see all the inbox without a scrollbar, I’m content enough.

        Empty is always a temporary state. I cleared it yesterday and it only lasted 40 seconds. I’m up to 5…make that 6 emails sitting there again now.

    I’m remembering in the at school 1960s school kids used to be helped to set up their own bank accounts with the state bank of victoria and we would have an account book and could bring in money every week to deposit. Even the girls!!

      I had a “State bank” account and I remember actual interest accumulating in there.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        For most of my life bank interest has not really been a thing, and for a long time they charged fees, so banking cost money instead. The last few years with high interest rates - plus an online bank that lets me earn interest on all my money without locking it away and jumping through hoops for “bonus” interest - has been great.

        source
    • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I remember we earned something like 3¾% on those accounts. When my kids started PS I set up Commonwealth accounts for them to do school banking, thinking they’d get lessons like I did. Nope, just give us the money quick so we can bank it and get the bonus they give schools for doing it. When I went to close those accounts a few years later after they closed the local branch so the school stopped school banking, it took ages, and I had what felt every staff member in the bank one by one come out and ask me questions about why I was doing it. They know those accounts lead to adults mostly keeping the same accounts and do not want you to close them!

        Can definitely see why they stopped the scheme. Would not pass the pub test if proposed today, unless perhaps a publicly owned bank still existed.

    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think that was still around when I went to school, but it was being phased out and wasn’t at my school. I’m pretty sure I had a money box the bank produced as a promo when I was in primary school.

      I do remember going to the bank to open my first bank account when I was in my early teens. It was when EFTPOS was just starting out and ATMs were still a fairly new concept, so getting a debit card seemed like a really exciting innovation to be involved in. I think I had to be 18 to get my first cheque book though, which was how all my bills were paid until the online options were introduced.

    Can’t sleep. Got overexcited ordering wall decals online. Goodbye bland as fuck everything!

    source
    • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Ooh decals. I’m a bit addicted to those. That’s going to be the worst thing about moving, I’ll have to leave my wildflower meadow behind!

      I also added a few decals to the walls at work, but they’ve just been doing some work and unfortunately they have been lost. But I do have a spare copy of one of them in my locker, so as soon as they finish painting Gunther (which is what I named the little guy peering up from the bottom of the wall), can return. Thomas, the rat peering out of his hole, may be lost forever.
