Trying to research NAS people have these complicated set ups.

I'm just trying to be simple by being able to see a show or movie off of my other devices anywhere I am.

Thanks!

Years ago I sold my Oculus 2 headset.

I never played any VR games on there. I used it mostly to watch movies and go on VRChat (which I don't go on anymore).

I did buy the game Moss but never got around to playing it. It was literally the only VR game I was interested enough in buying.

Recently, they announced a 'flattened' version of the first two Moss games into one for non-VR platforms. A lot of the people were excited to play it but a lot also said it's true charm would be it's VR form.

With that said are there a bunch of games worth investing close to $1000 to get an Oculus 3?

I don't care for the online games. I mostly play RPG and Puzzle/Platformer.

Thanks!

When I come home from work at 9PM each day I just don't have the mental energy to play a game that requires too much thought like an RPG or a puzzle platformer.

I mostly browse through reddit and watch videos on the other monitor but I'd like to at least be able to play something in addition to doing that.

Thanks

I am 35M, my dad is 81 in 2 months.

My father is probably the most selfish man I've ever met. He made a lot of money in his life - in the 90s he had the mansion the Benz parked in front with the hot wife and everything.

However, after 9 divorces, running away between countries from 3 baby mamas (including my own mother) he is an absolute shell of his former self. He lives off of old age pension now.

All my life he's been a financial set back to my siblings and I. He's 'borrowed' thousands he's never paid back between all of us. In college he paid enough for me to get there and then ghosted. I had to drop out. I'd be seeing pictures of him on like nice vacations and stuff online during that time.

Years ago I finally saved up enough money to buy myself my first car for $3000. I was getting my life together after not completing my education (because of him). He was living out of country and wanted a car to 'be able to drive while he's in town' and said he'd go half with me on the car. I was sort of desperate at the time so I agreed. I wanted to get something like a Civic but insisted on a Benz he saw in an ad so he can keep the illusion of being rich.

That Benz ended up being a nightmare to own. It had some sort of fucked up electrical issue that the mechanics could just not figure out. I took it to so many people to try and repair it. He never offered a single cent. I had to get rid of the car, he bought out my $1500 we spent on it. I left nearly $4000 in debt less than 2 months after my period of prosperity... all because he got into the picture.

I had to then finance a car I couldn't afford to get to and from school and work which took me six years to pay off. I had to junk it like a two years after paying it off.

Flash forward to this year, I had been unemployed for close to 2 years and I finally got a job as a driving instructor. He decided to help by 'giving' me his old 2009 car that had 300,000KM on it because he just got himself a fancy Lincoln SUV.

After going through the dreadful process of transferring ownership and all that he then told me "so, how much you going to pay me for the car?" I said I'll pay him $3000 and quickly changed subject after not believing what I had just heard him ask.

I told my step mom that I don't think I should pay him for the car because he's retired and has a much better car and I got so much on my plate and I'm his damn son. She said he'd talk with him.

For the last two months I'd see him on the weekends, he wouldn't bring it up, and I made myself believe he listened to my step mom and let it go.

Well, today, I'm in his car telling him how I'm spending $1200 a month on gas, $900 on rent, etc, and how I can't even keep up he then says "okay, and when are you going to pay me for the car?"

"I don't know. I have a lot on me. Paying you is not a priority." I got out of his car and slammed the door. I went upstairs and sent my step mom a bunch of voice clips on WhatsApp venting about everything. I told him if he wants his money he can get it but to never fucking talk to me ever again. I blocked his number. I don't even want to pay him. I honestly want nothing to do with him.

I honestly hate my fucking father.

I love my mother dearly, but unfortunately she's an extremely ungrateful person.

Every single year from when I was at least 12 onward (35 now), when I would get her something for her birthday or Mother's Day she never graciously accepted the gift... there's always been some sort of negativity.

Crooked smile, sizing up the gift 'Hmmm, you could've gotten this one.... or that one...'

Or an 'Oh.. thank you.' with the look like she doesn't really want it.

She always wants something else, a different version of it, or sometimes just straight up says 'this is what you got me?'

One year I got her a big, fashionable bag. She never used it. I then saw my sister-in-law using that bag to pack her travel belongings in.

One year I got a big collage of all her grandchildren and grandkids and she just looks at it like 'there aren't nicer pictures to pick from than these ones?'

Other years the stuff I get her just collects dust somewhere.

Each year, with a frown, I would just swallow how mad this was making me and go to my room and fizzle out.

Not once has she ever just accepted a gift I gave her and said she loves it.

Some of you may be saying why I don't just ask her what she wants. I did some years but she would always find something to complain about - wanting a different version, why I got something expensive, complaining about some feature or function. Also, it's a gift, it pisses me off to have to ask something what they want, they should just be happy with whatever you give them... the surprise is apart of it.

A few years ago she bought some outdated Tassimo coffee maker machine from a second-hand store that didn't take the new coffee pods on the market. She was upset she wasted her money on it and has been using some shitty coffee maker ever since.

So, today I went to the store and I bought her an expensive Keurig coffee maker and some coffee pods. While I'm driving home I'm going through the scenario in my head like how she'll typically react.

I hate to say it but as always she proved me right. Brought it to her she had her hand over her mouth all like 'but... I have a coffee maker, I don't have room for this, this thing I saw on Amazon would be a much nicer gift ... ... ... ' and I'm sitting there rolling my eyes just listening to the negative babble. No thank you, no I love it, didn't even give me a chance to tell her anything about the gift.

I grabbed the gift off the table and said "you know what, this year, you get nothing."

'but, but this thing from Amazon-'

and I'm walking away from her telling her nope, she gets nothing. Every year for like the last 15+ I've been getting burned whenever I get her something that I had enough.

While I was going to the store to return it she was sending me all these voice clips on WhatsApp still trying to justify her ungratefulness and I told her that I'm not going to listen to it. There's no more 'this would be a better gift, or why not this one' or any of that.

This year, next year, the year after for both her birthday and Mother's Day she's just getting a happy Mother's Day or happy Birthday out of my mouth.

That's it.

EDIT: To make things clear my mother is a good woman and I don't appreciate comments disrespecting her. We have a relationship, we will continue to. Unfortunately, she's uneducated and mentally acts like a child which is where this behaviour stems from.

In the future she'll get a card and maybe a dinner out, but that's it.

I played a bit of the first one not too long after it came out but stopped because I found the story to be really lacking. Also, the characters weren't really friends with each other they were just sort of along for the ride.

I heard the second game fixes a lot of what was in the first. If that's the case can I just skip to the second one?

Thanks.

There are something like 21 games in the franchise? I simply cannot commit to playing that many games in a single franchise.

I've been interested in this series for awhile but I always feel obligated to play every mainline game in a franchise. I may choose to break that habit with Zelda, especially since most of the games are self-contained.

With that said can you give me a condensed list of mainline titles that capture all the lore I'd need to know and that I cannot skip out on?

Thanks for your help!

Preferably Canadian Amazon,

Thanks for your help!

Someone told me that they use HVAC tape.

Since I already have Duct or black electric tape I was wondering if that works too?

The top of the enclosure has two mesh rectangular openings, I'd tape one and keep one open for ventilation?

Let me know,

Thanks!

I heard 0 is a gacha game that was on mobile.

I haven't played any of the Octopath Games and when I typically play a series I always want to skip the unneeded titles.

Let me know,

Thanks!

It's almost a week since I brought it home. It's a 5 month only baby.

When I brought it home from the expo it was a really dark color, almost black.

It's been in it's enclosure for 5 days now and for the first 3 days it did not move from the spot it was at.

I noticed about two nights ago it changed color and it's now like a yellow and gray color, literally completely different color than when I got it. I also noticed that it had travelled over to the opposite side of the enclosure when I woke up in the morning to check on it.

Does the color change mean anything significant?

Let me know,

Thanks!

I've had it for 3 days and right now I'm leaving it alone for a month like suggested. For now I mist, change it's food and substrate.

He hasn't really eaten at all. I one time brought the food bowl up to his face and he had a few licks of it. For water he's just licking the leaves in the enclosure after I mist.

He also hasn't moved much. He likes one particular vine and stays there all day.

When should I start feeding him crickets? After the month is up or before? He's not use to his enclosure yet so I don't think he's going to try and hunt it.
