I want to make a slice-of-life Halo-universe comic featuring a human and Sangheili, but there’s not as many good references of helmetless Sangheili as I’d like— and the most helpful but armorless Sangheili full body is the one model of the Arbiter made for the Anniversary edition. Aka my main issue is not enough variety.

I wanted to commission a reference sheet for the Sangheili race, or just a non-specific Sangheili. There could be different faces and emotions, and a couple different body poses. Budget is $200 ball park but I’m also flexible.

Thank you!!

I’m not talking fan-fic or rule 34… Though jf we go off those, people *love* Human-Sangheili encounters.

But no, I mean legit if there’s ever been any mention of attempts?

Came to curiosity because I ran into an old post where people talked about colony worlds after the end of the Great Schism where humans and Sangheili could have occasionally tried something simply by living in proximity. But I also recently learned about a little story in Infinite where a Sangheili fell in love with Commander Sarah Palmer in Halo 5 and wrote her a poem. To which, a Unggoy intercepted him, and I believe I heard that he never ended up giving her the poem.

It made me so sad, but I’m also a hopeless romantic. But on that note, I wondered if any combos of any race had been successful or simply a record of any trying?

The end of the Schism had to have brought peace to a lot of individuals. I’d be surprised if no one had made any attempt at a connection. But that’s also the only story I’ve heard about.

My step son asked me if I’d take him fishing this summer…. Eeee!! Every fishers dream!

Anyways he’s 11 coming into 12 soon. He’s a smart kid but not very athletic so not super strong. Not weak necessarily either.

But I know what to get for myself— I don’t know what to get for his age and skill group. He’s too old/big for those little 18 inch button casting Shakespeare’s that send a bobber like ten feet away lol. I’ll teach him casting but I didn’t know if a fuller size rig could be too much weight.

Sticking with teaching him spin cast of course. Want him to get the basics down and he struggled with his attention span sometimes, so not having ti rely on constant attention works until he gets the hang of it.

His grandparents live on a bank of a river. I aim for mountain fish and trout (so we’ll start him on power-bait) but there’s also steelhead and chinook. I won’t be aiming for such a fight for him yet, but if he manages to hook one somehow, I’ll be there. But considering where I intend to take him to learn, was considering hybrid or fiberglass rods. I fully expect him to loose some hooks to tangles too, so we will need bendy rods.

Otherwise, any advice for shopping for his age/skill? I don’t mind if it’s something he can grow into but also can’t get him something too heavy. If he struggles to work it even without the fish, that’ll be on me.

Hear me out: I have keeping experience but I got rid of my snakes around COVID because the fear that I could afford to feed myself became real. I haven’t had any since.

But instead of a small breeding collection, I’ve decided if I go back in, I’ll do a couple instead. And in that case, I can afford to take on more intermediate animals because I can focus more on them.

I elaborate clearly: I would not buy the falsie for him. I’m buying the falsie for me. It would be my pet and for the viewing/limited interacting pleasure of the boy.

In the last two years, I’ve become a step mom. My partner knows I want snakes again, and indeed invites whatever small critters I want to be something that lives for a few years, because he doesn’t want the son to get an animal that he has to mourn the death of in two years… Fair.

Half of the week we have his son stay with us. He’s a VERY respectful young man, and very smart. I’m not worried about him getting into trouble or mishandling it without me knowing.

What I want to get a consensus on is if I got a False Water Cobra for myself— if it had a good personality, if I monitored its time out of the enclosure— could I justify it in my household?

Don’t think I’d go without educating him about the animal, nor would I allow interaction if its temperament was touchy. If it was in any sort of mood, that’s a boundary for just me to handle.

Complimentary: If I got myself a falsie, I’d also get another snake. One the boy can learn handling and care through. If he understands one, he’ll begin to understand the other. Plus, if the falsie is touchy, I won’t bum him out with saying ‘look but no touch’. He can have something of his own.

Again: the falsie is not a snake for him, it’s a snake for me. But I would allow him to learn about it, and if I trust the animal and his judgment, I may allow him to handle it too, under my eye.

But simply having a falsie in a household where 3-4 days a week, we have a 11 (almost 12) y/o. Is this something I’d be crazy to do or would I be okay to consider this?

I would not even bother asking if this was say, a rattler. But a falsie felt like a “liquor cabinet”: He knows where the liquor is but I trust him to not get into it, because it’s handled by adults only unless otherwise consented to.

Elden Ring has been giving me troubles. I try to start it up and it crashes. The most I’ve gotten is to the menu, but it crashes there too.

Yes checked drivers. Checked CPU. No other games or programs are having issues. Uninstalled and reinstalled, no mods (attempted to start up with one but when game gave issues, I deleted all of it and focused on just trying to fix the game.

Checking Event Viewer and it can’t elaborate better. Reverified the files many times. Like sheesh, I don’t know what to do at this point. I feel like there’s things I learned about computers and tried and it didn’t help.

Yes ray trace is off, and it’s not in 4k and starts up windowed…

It’s a doozy and I’ve exhausted everyone I know. The last resort is take it to a computer store, because I don’t want to mess so hard that I make more tangles I can’t figure out later (the whole three bugs, fix one, suddenly 200 more, and the one you tried didn’t fix anyway).

Come at me with advice or if you got tons of computer experience or a business in it. I really need the help.

Hi there! I just started Returnal this week since I heard it’s harder than Saros. I love the game but after reaching Biome 2, I do find myself frustrated sometimes when trying to learn the nuances, or how I have to navigate in Biome 1 and reach Biome 2 with metaphorical wounds still bleeding.

Reading some tips for beginners or ‘wish I knew sooner’ posts. Some have mentioned save scumming but I didn’t think that was possible in the game.

Now I know why one might not use it on this game: the arcade-like treatment is its purpose. Some might argue save scumming defeats the purpose of the game. And I don’t immediately call you wrong either for it.

More, I spent a lot of time in Biome One and to find Biome Two I still spend a lot of time in Biome One. And if I find Biome Three and so forth, I feel like save scumming could really help me not loose faith on good runs.

I wanted to ask how one can even save scum in a game that doesn’t have saves? But secondly, supposedly there’s faster paths to find the portals to biomes but I still just see random RNG. Any tips for making the transition? I greatly appreciate it!
