2023.06.02 12:02 SaturdayInSuburbia [Feedback] A few fragments from Chapter 1 of a Short Story I'm working on (my first serious attempt). Would like to know people's thoughts on this style/feel
His dad read in a magazine that the greenest lawns need to be watered first thing and so the sprinklers were programmed to come on very early. Carl woke to their patter and to the smell of wet grass and May blossom. Looking down, a slice of dawn light crossed the middle of the bed (right over his tummy) and he watched as strands of dust drifted through it, their spiralling, jerky motions briefly visible before they vanished into the airy space of the room on either side. At some point, he drifted back to sleep.
In the houses around him, forty or so others lay in their beds, dreaming dreams which, if you could have seen them, would have blended into a heady mix of hope and fear that hovered just above the various Groves, Avenues and Closes that made up the neighbourhood. This cloud was as real, somehow, as the birdsong flitting between the trees and the mist creeping back down the streets to the sea. Within it, promises of new lives and new lovers blended with unseen foes and inexorable catastrophes. Some confronted deeply hidden parts of themselves, manifest as dead relatives, impossible landscapes, bizarre tasks and strange entities with shifting identities. Others dreamt about nothing at all, and contributed only black streaks to the otherwise iridescent, billowing cloud.
For his part, Carl dreamt he was five years younger, learning to ride his bike. His mum was running behind him holding on to the back of the seat, giving him time to find his balance while his legs built up enough momentum to keep him upright. Then he was doing it – he was riding and it was exhilarating: a blur of light and colour and rushing air. And then, all of a sudden, he wasn’t. He was awake.
“Morning, dingus,” came a voice with a hint of amusement. Carl blinked his eyes open and stared at the boy outside the window. His hair seemed to possess a life of its own, swirling and dancing in the breeze. The boy smiled with his eyes but not his mouth and nodded toward a corner of the room. Carl followed the nod and saw a cricket ball sitting against the skirting board. “Lucky your window was open. Pass it back?” Carl looked again at the boy, still half asleep. The boy began to roll his hands with mock impatience: “You deaf or something?”
Cautiously – without a word – Carl pushed off the duvet, swung his legs over the side of the bed and dropped his feet to the carpet. He went to the corner, picked up the ball and walked it back to the window. He held it out and saw the black squiggles curving around its surface. “Who signed it?”, Carl asked. The boy didn’t answer. Instead, he grabbed the ball and ran across the lawn, disappearing into the hedges at the bottom of the garden. Carl stayed at the window for a few moments. As he stood, cool, salty air flowed past him into the room. The sprinklers pattered away.
-----------------------------------
The houses of stood in a row like colourful blocks. Mrs Friedman moved past them slowly, eyeing each in turn. The older she got, the more her taut face struggled to conceal the many jealousies, slights and conflicts that had amassed behind it. And so, more and more often, some of the bile overflowed back into the world, escaping her thin lips as a pointed whisper or, sometimes, even a direct attack – which is what happened next.
“Have you eyes?” Her frail voice floated down the drive, weakening with every inch. It was almost imperceptible by the time it reached Mr Fuller’s ears. It was, however, just enough to make him turn around and investigate. Seeing her, he smiled and began walking toward her, wiping his palm on a rag and setting up to shake hands.
“Hi there and good morning”, he said, “I’m Paul Fuller – new to the neighbourhood and it’s very nice to meet you.”
She stared at his outstretched hand and remained perfectly still, her white-knuckled fingers wrapped around the Zimmer frame. The man’s pleasantness confounded her – as had his claim that he was new to the area (that the house had been for sale was news to her). But, after a moment’s stasis, she managed to brush all this away and gesture weakly toward the drive. She asked again, “have you eyes?”
“Excuse me, madam?”, Paul replied.
“Your weeds”, she said, raising her eyebrows to indicate the displeasure she felt at having to repeat herself.
Paul scratched the back of his head and looked at the little green shoots that were just starting to peep through the cracks in the paving stones.
“I’m almost waist deep in them.”
“Oh. We’ve just moved in.” Paul said defensively. “In fact, we’re actually still moving in”. He pointed to the delivery van parked on the drive. “But, well – I’ll get the weeds cleaned up just as soon as I can, madam.”
“Good”, she said, resuming her slow shuffle down the street. Inside a cluster of bushes, two bright eyes were fixed upon her; a little fist gripped a weighty ball.
-----------------------------------
Mrs Alleman’s hands burned pink in the washing up bowl. She’d read somewhere that, for every additional degree she could tolerate, another species of germ was eliminated. Since then, increasing the temperature had become something of a challenge. She enjoyed the sharp tingle she felt as she pushed it up a little more each day, and she believed she was approaching what was possible for a human hand to endure. Her vindication came on the rare occasions when her husband or a friend got splashed dropping in a bowl or plate, or when they tried to fish out a piece of cutlery or a utensil, and jumped back in utter shock. “The hotter it is, the cleaner it is”, she’d sing, voicing the mantra that so often cycled in her mind.
Through the steam and the droplets running down the glass, she could just about see her husband talking to the new neighbour – or rather, the neighbour talking to him. Even from across the road, her husband’s discomfort was apparent, revealing itself in his demure, slouching gait and the way he kept glancing back at the house as though worried it would vanish and leave him stranded on this earnest stranger’s lawn. Left to his own devices, she knew, it would have taken him weeks or months to introduce himself – and, even then, it would only have happened thanks to some chance encounter at the grocery store or in the park, or in some other communal space, and only if the other party initiated it.
His awkwardness endeared her. It always had. Though, seeing her husband’s vacant face staring over this stranger’s shoulder, she experienced something else – something that was getting a little more familiar these days: a smidge of annoyance, perhaps. She pushed it away, reminding herself of all the things he did for her and for their family. Sighing, she pulled her hands from the blistering water and dried them off.
“Hi there”, she shouted as she crossed the road, waving with one hand and using the other to shield her eyes from the morning sun. “Welcome to Sunningdale. We’re so glad to see someone finally move in to this beautiful house. Mr and Mrs Cartwright only put in on the market on account of her mother’s – his mother in-law’s – health, bless her, which took a real turn last year. Cancer! I know. I mean, absolutely the last thing she needed. Her husband, Mrs Cartwright’s father – Mr Cartwright’s father-in-law – died last Christmas, sadly. Yes, on Christmas day itself, which they say is a very common day to die. I’m not sure why. Something to do with being surrounded with family? Maybe. Who knows? Anyway, the only reason they moved is to be closer to her in what will most probably be her final year. They were completed devastated to lose the house, of course – their home for over twenty years. But they needed to downsize, anyway. Two birds and all that. I actually remember seeing him carry her over the threshold. And haven’t they kept it lovely? I suppose that’s one of the reasons you bought it – gosh, yes, they really did keep it lovely, didn’t they? And is there a Mrs…”
“Fuller”, Paul answered, “And no, sadly not. There used to be. But she died – three years ago. Not on Christmas day. But also of cancer. Absolutely the last thing we needed.”
Mrs Alleman’s face dropped. “Oh, gosh – I’m so sorry. How cack-handed of me.”
With a smile, Paul revealed he was type of man who could joke about his partner’s death, which was a relief to the Alleman’s in the moment, but which would cause some disquiet to both of them as they lay siltenly in their beds that night.

2023.06.02 11:50 lonelyeverso Using an E-bike?
I was trying to find if someone has asked this question already and although there were questions about cycling on campus, there was nothing on using an E-bike.
Here are some reasons why I'm considering an E-bike over a normal bike/ISB:
- ISB is overcrowded during peak hours and sometimes timings are unreliable
- The terrain in NUS is extremely hilly, which would make riding a normal bike quite the work out and I'm not very keen on arriving in class sweaty af.
- ISB is not 24/7, and if I'm out till late it's either walk across the campus when I'm already very tired or Grad across campus.
- Not very keen on buying a car or motorcycle.
And some cons I foresee for an E-bike:
- Charging might be an issue?
- I've not paid attention to how much bicycle parking infrastructure there is on NUS campus.
- I would have to ride on roads, and NUS roads are already a little narrow when I'm driving through, so I might be a hazard on the road.
- Not rain proof.
- Might be mistaken for a Grab delivery rider.
Are there anybody here who uses or have been considering cycling (e-bike or normal bikes) around campus instead of other options and have any advice on if I should get an e-bike? Or anyone else who has an opinion on this? Thanks!

2023.06.02 10:56 GreatBeloved The mental load is crushing the life out of me.
Husband(49M) and I (46F) used to make a great team, but it's gone to hell in a hand basket over the last few years. Recently he informed me that I was expected to do 100% for our daughter(9) all the cleaning and inside the house chores. He takes the trash out, mows the lawn/winter shoveling (unless he is out of town- and I think he checked the weatheplanned his away weeks so I had to clear the driveway nearly every storm this year- and the grass hasntbbeen mowed this season) He told me that we had agreed when I took my part-time (24-32hrs/week) job 2 years ago, that our daughter wouldn't be in daycare and I could do things at home. I missed the fact that he was going to stop doing ANYTHING around the house. I refuse to schedule his appointments or do his laundry. His schedule is erratic and he is too picky on the order his shirts get hung up in the closet. He also pays all the household bills. But if I ask him to grab a gallon of milk at the store on the way home you would think I sent him on a mission for a rare gem.
Everyday I get up at 6:30 with our daughter to get her ready for school. He rolls out of bed just after 7. I make sure she is fed, has snack, homework, book, water, shoes etc for school and we are out the door at 7:40. I drop her off at school, drive to the post office for work (15 min) and head to the office. I have to leave work by 2:30 to be home before the bus. Then it's snack, homework, maybe 1 hr of down time before supper prep, baths, and bedtime prep. daughter has severe anxiety and I sit with her until she fLls asleep. Somewhere between 4 and 6 he announces he is done with work (unless he gets a phone call) and he sits in his recliner and turns on the TV. I can't get him to see that my being home with our daughter after school.does not give me more extra rime in my day. He refuses to help.with cooking, and complains that he eats out too much so doesn't want takeout. He doesn't understand why there are always dirty dishes in the sink, or why I haven't had the chance to vacuum or put laundry away. I have to schedule all the appointments for my daughter. I have to follow up with the school. I plan meals and buy the groceries. I am trying to get a summer schedule set, and he refuses to sit with me and look at the calendar- because he doesn't know where he will need to be for work. I am just so tired.
2 years ago I started a new job. Super flexibility, good pay, part-time 24-32 hours a week. I can WFH or at the office, any hours, I just need to make sure the job is done. Hubby is a sales manager, he goes to his customers/ spends time with employees and finishes his paperwork/communication from home (his desk is between our living room and dining areas). Every 3 weeks or so he is out of town Monday-Thursday. His work is full time plus. He will always answer his work calls, no matter the time, or what activity the family is doing. 2 or 3 times a year he travels out of state for Corporate events- training and fun events, 1 week a year he has a guys vacation (hunting trip). 3 years ago I was working a full-time job (32 hours a week, our daughter (now 9) was in full time daycare, my disabled mom was living with us, she had helpers that regularly came to the house. Hubby had the same job, but was not managing others yet.

2023.06.02 10:36 Equinavia Paddock Boots Women Equinavia
Paddock Boots Women are a staple in any equestrian's wardrobe. These boots are designed specifically for riding and working around horses, providing comfort, protection, and style. Women's paddock boots come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials, allowing riders to choose the perfect pair to match their personal style and riding needs. Many paddock boots have a lace-up design, providing a snug and secure fit, while others have a zip-up design for easy on and off. They are typically made with durable materials such as leather or synthetic fabrics to withstand the wear and tear of daily use around horses. The sole of the boot is designed with a non-slip rubber grip to provide stability and prevent slipping while riding or working on the ground. Whether you're a beginner rider or a seasoned equestrian, investing in a quality pair of paddock boots is essential for both comfort and safety while working with horses.

2023.06.02 09:40 Pelvur Ryobi lawn mower acts weird after some years, how to repair?
I have a 20in 40V brushless battery powered Ryobi mower that I bought in Home Depot back in 2015.
I have a weird issue with the mower where if it turns down while mowing (e.g. grass is too tough), it cannot be restarted with the buttons (the ones on the handle) until I take the battery out and reinsert. It did not have this behavior for the first 6 years or so.
If I stop the mower myself, then it can be restarted with buttons with no issue
I have two batteries and both behave the same so I think it is not a battery issue. I also have a trimmer which works just fine with the same batteries.
Can someone give me a hint what an issue could be and how I might be able to fix it.
Thanks!

2023.06.02 09:29 AnonQuestions777 In need of some serious advice—Dropped a bike during a test drive…
So I screwed up. I’m going to outline the situation matter of factly but thoroughly in hopes that at least one of you will provide me some much needed insight.
Today I went out for a test drive in a 2016 Honda VFR1200X. Let the record show I am an inexperienced rider and had no idea how heavy and tall the bike was. Anyways, I signed a waiver that essentially stated that I am responsible for any damage done to the bike, I am responsible if I were to get hurt, and stating that I cannot sue the company. Then when we went for a test ride, I was trying to take off from a red light I dropped the bike on its right side. Insert picture of me defeated trying to repeatedly pick up a 600lb bike
Long story short, I go back and forth with the sales guy and manager forever about the price of the bike, price of the repairs and what our arrangement might be. Ultimately I ended up paying the $2300 they quoted for the drop repairs as a deposit on the bike. I got in writing that if I don’t buy I can get insurance involved and get my $2300 back. I do like the bike a lot but it’s definitely much much more than I was wanting to spend on a bike. I was looking at $3-4k used bikes before this brutal mess up.
Bike and deal specifics: so the bike is a 2016 Honda VFR1200X with just under 5k miles. It doesn’t include bags or anything. Has new tires. No DCT or Cruise control. I talked them down to $11.5k, $12k out the door. My $2300 I paid can either act as a deposit for the bike if I buy or if I don’t buy it will pay for the damage I supposedly caused to the bike with my drop assuming I don’t try to go through my insurance.
What would you do in this situation? I’m really struggling as I do like the bike but it’s much more expensive than what I was after and I’m now somewhat committed.
-Is there potential to fix it up myself, ride for a year or something, and sell to recoup my costs? -Should I just pay for my damages out of pocket and get a cheaper bike? -Should I try to file through insurance and pursue a cheaper bike? -Should I try to fight them on the charge since I was so inexperienced for such a massive bike even though I signed an explicit waiver stating that’s not their problem? -Should I try to talk them down more and leverage that the bike is dropped or something?
I truly could use any insight available. Thank you very much in advance

2023.06.02 09:28 LizzieVanLew Which onewheel should I get?
I first discovered onewheel last fall when there weren’t many above-freezing days left for the year. I was on the fence about purchasing due to a pretty serious injury back in July, and the incoming cold weather convinced me to hold off on my purchase for the time being.
Flash forward to spring! And here I am thinking I’m ready to take the plunge. If I’m still thinking about it 7 months later I need it, right? 😆
My use case will likely be different than most:
Due to my back issues I don’t think I will be able to ride for more than an hour at a time. (Maybe longer if I take breaks.) I’ll mostly be riding on paved sidewalks/streets, some hills if I’m brave enough, and I’d ideally like the ability to ride on grass. Being able to go up/down hills on grass would be great. I love the idea of dirt trails, but we don’t have too many of those around here so it wouldn’t be a frequent thing. I’d also like to take my small dog with me once I’m comfortable riding. I’m not worried about going super fast (I doubt I will ever max it out), but I do want the safest ride possible where I’m the least likely to fall off and break any more bones.
I’m reading some reports of people saying the pint x is more stable than the gt, and others saying gt is the most stable and the least likely to nosedive. I’m open to replacing the tire, but the recommended tire seems to be out of stock.
I’m 5’3 and a little over 200 lbs. I’ve heard people recommend the gt for larger riders, but 35 lbs. is super heavy for me to lift! That’s the main thing that has me questioning if the pintx might be a smarter purchase. But if my weight is going to cause any issues with the pintx, or if the gt is going to offer me a safemore stable ride, I could probably figure out a way to safely lift the gt.
Let me know your thoughts! 2:30 a.m. here so hopefully this makes sense and I’m not leaving out any important details. lol

2023.06.02 08:52 CatCat2420 Question about "Loss of use coverage"...
Is 'loss of use' coverage 'automatic' or do you have to choose it and pay extra for it? Wondering...because our shed sustained significant fire damage, and our lawn moweequipment were 'totaled' so wondering if I can get lawn maintenance cost covered until I can get a replacement lawn mower. Upon a quick glance at my policy, I don't see anything regarding "loss of use"; upon research it looks like it is also referred to as 'Coverage D' insurance. My home insurance is with by All-state.

2023.06.02 08:26 lvbu_tech Lvbu BZ Ebike Kit: Empowering Your Dreams of Long-Distance Travel
| For every beginner cyclist, there is a dream of exploring the world on a bike. Most beginners tend to imagine the scenes of cycling, but are unsure where to begin and what to prepare. Following experienced cyclists is a good choice, but they may not necessarily tell you everything, such as important details, necessary equipment, and why they need them. They may also push you too hard, so it's important for novice cyclists to understand the basics of cycling and make good preparations before setting off. https://preview.redd.it/x0sdv66ftj3b1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59a6e6b937e5110aee6c597a6329483f3c882212 Bike Choice There are many types of bikes to choose from for long-distance cycling, including mountain bikes, road bikes, touring bikes, recumbent bikes, customized bikes, and even folding bikes. It's important to choose a bike that you feel comfortable riding in a basic cycling position. If you choose a new or borrowed bike, it's essential to have at least four long-distance rides to adapt, so you don't experience any discomfort during your journey. It's also recommended to choose a good quality bike, avoid purchasing a bike with an unknown origin or poor quality. As for tire selection, slightly wider tires are preferred over racing bike tires, which are less prone to punctures. https://preview.redd.it/glyd9b0ftj3b1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d2fbfdc33245db95642457d9864aacf2c876364 Daily Riding Distance Plan Long-distance cycling is a continuous activity, and it's essential to have a basic understanding of your physical fitness before setting off. Testing your physical fitness and having a certain amount of training beforehand is crucial. For beginners, try half a month of daily weighted cycling and gradually increase the distance. It's also essential to plan the daily riding distance according to your own situation, taking into account the terrain characteristics and your own preferences. Setting up a training plan to improve physical fitness will allow you to ride longer distances and join club rides. If the route has many hills, poor road conditions, or you're riding a mountain bike or folding bike, adjust the target daily riding distance accordingly. It's important to be flexible and adjust the plan according to the situation. Don't push yourself too hard, as enjoying the scenery along the way is part of the fun of cycling. https://preview.redd.it/eh47rgxetj3b1.jpg?width=6240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22c352c5b6703404cb3021c3bfae0e8c788a0fb2 Safety Precautions Cycling is an outdoor activity with inherent risks. Many people fail to recognize this and treat cycling simply as a fun activity. However, it's crucial to maintain control of your speed when cycling, as the risk of accidents increases sharply at speeds over 30km/h. It's important to practice braking on long sections of easy and long slopes before the journey. Never grip the brakes too hard and avoid brakes lockup. Braking correctly will avoid being thrown from the bicycle in case of a sudden stop. When cycling through scenic areas, always focus on the road ahead. Avoid careless talking or laughing while riding in a group, and learn simple hand gestures for communication while riding in formation. For city cycling, use dedicated bike lanes or sidewalks if available, avoid crowded areas, and dismount when necessary. When cycling on highways, stay away from large trucks and try to avoid cycling at night or in low light conditions. If it's unavoidable, wear reflective clothing and turn on the warning lights on your bike to increase visibility. https://preview.redd.it/pkxwg5kftj3b1.jpg?width=4956&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f80d9791c0810f3510912d90275a7196609b508 Equipment Checklist Essential Travel Equipment: Bike, backpack, tent, sleeping bag, moisture-resistant mat, military kettle, thermos, water bottles, waist pack, wrist and knee guards, sports watch, helmet, gloves, cycling clothing, front and rear lights, tire inflator.

These services, which range from pressure washing to lawn care, roof and gutter cleaning and
best concrete driveway sealer, can significantly improve the aesthetic and longevity of your property.
What Does a Concrete Driveway Sealer Do? Exterior House Cleaning Your home's exterior can look much better if you wash it frequently. The surfaces can become dirty, polluted, and weathered over time, giving them a worn-out appearance.
Exterior house washing services in Nanaimo employ specialized methods and cleaning supplies to bring back your home's exterior's luster and vitality. This helps maintain the integrity of the structural components and improves curb appeal.
Lawn Maintenance The use of high-pressure cleaning equipment is the most effective solution to these problems. High-pressure washers employ a narrow stream of hot or cold water running at a high rate of speed. Pressure washing may be viewed by many as an optional task.
Pressure washing Nanaimo is a great way to remove old, flaking product layers that may later cause problems for new applications, in addition to ensuring that the surface is clean.
A better way for you and your family to unwind after a long day at work or school should exist. A well-kept

Best concrete driveway sealers operate as a barrier between exterior elements like snow, ice, oil, and grime and things like concrete driveways. Because they believe that concrete driveways don't need care, many people choose not to apply concrete sealer. However, in order to preserve quality and avoid water retention, concrete should ideally be sealed no less than every three years.Your driveway is always being abused by traffic, the elements, and other chemicals like oil and grease. Applying a top-notch sealer to your concrete driveway is advised to protect it and increase its lifespan.

2023.06.02 07:40 bythewayne Miles Morales live action movie won't be technically a Spider-Man movie
Because they can't do Spider-Man without Marvel. Yet the character has enough brand recognition to go on its own.
They can do a Miled Morales movie without having him swinging through the city and using a flashy costume. But instead make him stealthy kind of spy hero, like that tasm scene of Peter in Oscorp.
They can have their SSU Alex Rider(? with a name that fills seats. And they can have as a bencher for Spider-Man so when Tom Holland wants to retire, they can upgrade him to Spider-Man ig they want to.
Is this something I want? No, I don't think I would belong exactly to the targeted audience for that movie, neither I have a particular fanatism for Miles.
Do I think it maked sense from a marketing point of view? Totally. Better than el muerto for sure.

2023.06.02 07:13 cannons_for_days COME ON RIDE THE TRAIN — a 30 Minute Review
TL;DR — Should I Pull?
New Players
Hoooooooo buddy.
Lots to unpack, here.
Firstly, if you do not have UDX Silver, GLEX Silver, Shuzer, or Liam, pull the Romancing Festival reprint for Liam or GLEX Silver. 33k jewels for Liam/Silver with Thyme, Shuzer, Rag Robin, Christmas Empress, and other good styles in the mix is hands down the best deal on offer.
For most new players I'm going to recommend Matriarch's banner. Matriarch and Roc are a very solid support core, and Matriarch gets way better with a couple of inherits that are avaialble in the offbanner pool, which you can select one style from with the ticket you got from logging in today.
If, however, you have Thyme and Overdrive Emelia and you don't have the Matriarch style with Paean of Peace, then I recommend pulling on the Lynn Woods banner for Liz. Liz's Aqua Bash+ can be a functional replacement for Paean of Peace which doesn't require chasing a character who isn't on Rate Up, and the rest of her kit is enabled by Emelia and Thyme is a big way. Polka has similar synergy with them and also brings a damn useful heal to the table, and whilst Jo isn't the same kind of "stupid powerful alongside her enablers" good, she's still a very good style that can deal a lot of damage and avoid nearly as much. Jo is also pretty danged good for a new player to pick up, with a medium Morale Down she can sustain on enemies to help reduce incoming damage by a good chunk. Overall, very solid banner, just not as "ready to go out of box" as the other one.
Depending on what else we see this month, it's possible that going back to the other banner once we see what else is going to be offered may be the best move for newbies. Matriarch + Roc + Thyme + Liz + [ShuzeLiam/Silver] would be a ridiculously good core team for someone with less than 6 months play time. 🤩 But I won't go so far as to say that until we get a better sense of what's on deck. For now, focus on Matriarch if you don't have the big Overdrive enablers; focus on Liz if you do.
Veterans
OK. So on the one hand, we have a banner with a Liz style that solos Remembrance battles. And on the other hand we have a banner with a Matriarch style. Now you may thi- you're already pulling Matriarch. OK, then.
Kidding aside, I know a bunch of people reading this really are about to pull the first banner here simply because it has Matriarch and for no other reason, regardless of whether she's any good or not. And... actually, that's not a bad plan, here. Matriarch is definitely a solid support style, whether you have the Paean of Peace inherit for her or not. Roc is way better if you have certain inherits, but even if you only have her Tower S style, her offbanner A style, and her Platinum pool SS style, she's still a pretty good style with a few good options.
Liz and Polka are also pretty danged good, though. Liz in particular has amazing synergy with Thyme and Overdrive Emelia in content with direct hits to counter. She dispenses WIL buffs to the team and counters with a defense boost for the team on any turn where she can Overdrive... which can actually be most turns if you have Emelia backing her up. Polka can counter with an attack that grants the party an attack boost, so if you bring the both of them, you can actually get a lot of buffs going on overdrive turns against enemies that throw direct AoE attacks.
All of which is a lot of words to say that I can definitely recommend a pull on Matriarch's banner, and if you are eyeing Liz and Polka's banner and have the jewels to spare, I can also recommend some pulls there, but if you need to choose between them, I would definitely recommend Mama's first.
Planes Balloons, Trains, and Automobeels — Romancing Festival Limited Banner
Matriarch
Unit Summary
Indefatigable support unit.
Unit Analysis
Paean of Tranquility is 3 BP for a tiny heal to the party plus a medium defense boost. It's a defense boost, not a Guard Up, so it stacks with any other kind of defense increases you have. It's a single-turn defense boost, but it's 25% on top of a party-wide heal, so it's totally worth spamming if you don't have other, better things for Matriarch to do.
Saga Balloon Sanctuary is a [Fast] B-rank sun AoE for 8 BP. Its damage is not amazing, but it grants a large Attack Boost to the whole party for 3 turns. Since it's an Attack Boost, not a Morale Up, it stacks, so she can actually wind up increasing party damage output by quite a bit with her +2 BP/turn fueling an 8 BP cost skill.
Her third attack is an SSSS attack for 10 BP, which is kind of ridiculous for a character who can spam that every-other-turn. The problem is that Matriarch is such a strong support character that you're arguably not "winning" that exchange by spending her BP on damage instead of support stuff, especially if you also have a high-octane damage dealer like Silver or Liam dwarfing Matriarch's damage.
For a support character she's also tanky... as long as she's able to resist every hit she takes. Every resisted attack she takes 40% less damage from and has a 37% chance to avoid it in the first place. Every non-resisted attack... she takes full damage. So against enemies that only deal one or two types of damage, she's quite resilient. Against enemies that will fling 5+ damage types at you, you might find yourself taking more damage than you expected.
Inherits
Paean of Peace. Just... just Paean of Peace. DEX/WIL/LOV/CHA buff for the whole party. 5 BP a pop. This Mama can spam it forever with no BP support. The WIL keeps your day from being ruined by status effects, the DEX helps Liam's damage, and the LOV/CHA buffs help party healers do their job better. Sure, it occupies all of her time, but it's doing a loooot of work, so it's worth it.
Available from the [Leading the People] style, now in the offbanner pool and available to be collected from the 3rd Anniversary Romancing Festival Exclusive SS Style Exchange with the ticket you received upon login. If you're pulling for this Matriarch style, I strongly recommend you use that ticket to pick up [Leading the People] as well for this inherit.
Rocbouquet
Unit Summary
Reasonable support character who becomes a great support character with inherits.
Unit Analysis
Tons of BP recovery potential. When she hits with an attack that hits a weakness, she gets +1 BP. When she hits with a Shadow attack, she gains +2 BP. So if she hits with a Shadow attack that lands a weakness, get gets 3 BP back.
The attack you're probably be going to do that with is -checks notes- Lightning of Darkness.
That can't be... really, Akatsuki? Really?
Sorry. So, yeah, Lightning of Darkness is 8 BP for S-rank Shadow/Lightning damage. That's expensive for an S-rank attack (although it's at the high end of S-rank, so you can think of it as a weak SS attack), but it hits two weaknesses, it debuffs all of the enemy's stats, and it inflicts an Attack Down on the enemy. So it's expensive because it's trying to cram a lot of stuff into one attack. The debuff is not going to be terribly useful because so many bosses will Defy Weakness at the first hint of stat debuffs, but on the rare occasion where that's not the case it can definitely be useful to debuff a bunch of stats at once. The attack down is small and only for 1 turn, so it's not amazing, but it's also noteworthy that it's not a Morale Down, so it will stack with Morale Down users.
Goby Spark is another overcosted attack, this time an AoE. Spark will clear all INT buffs on the targets in addition to debuffing their INT. That's actually a pretty big deal because it means she is really good at shutting down enemies that like to buff their INT, and enemies that love to buff their INT are some of the most problematic bosses. There's an inherit that's going to be better for this purpose in a lot of boss battles, but we're not quite to inherits, yet.
Like Matriarch, she's tanky against attacks that she resists. (She actually has the same ability - reduce resisted attacks and high chance to evade them.) Unlike Matriarch, she can stack more tankiness on top of that if you're flinging Lightning damage at the enemy, topping out at 40% mitigation if you hit with a lightning attack every single turn, healing herself with each of those as well. Oh, and if she's hitting a weakness, she'll tack a second tiny self-heal on as well. So if you're spamming Lightning of Darkness (-sigh-) and hitting a weakness with every attack, not only do you get the Attack Down effect and maybe some stat debuffs, but you're also ramping up to 64% mitigation (and 50% damage boosts) and double self-healing herself every turn.
And if you can spare the bonus BP, the bonus damage, and the bonus mitigation, she also has one of the most unique heals in the game. It's a 0 BP spell so it's BP positive on the turns she uses it despite forfeiting both of her BP ability procs that turn, but what's notable about it is that it grants the target a small Defense Up. Small Defense Up is only 5%, but it sticks for the rest of the battle, meaning Roc can dump her LP into Liam while he's dumping his LP to give him an extra 20% damage mitigation. And then she'll proceed to spam an Attack Down/stat debuff attack. Not bad, Roc. Not bad.
Inherits
-deep breath- OK, cannons. You can do this.
This is Rocbouquet's 9th style. Most of those styles have at least one relevant inherit. Many of them have multiple spells worth looking at.
So let's start with GLEX Roc, currently in the offbanner pool. Psycho Boom is a shadow attack that debuffs the enemy's INT and WIL which chases with Euthanize, which is another shadow attack that debuffs INT. It's a lot of INT debuffing in a single turn, and if it happens to hit a weakness, it refunds 6 of its 12 BP cost. The majority of bosses in modern content will definitely Defy Weakness the next turn, but if you happen to find a boss that doesn't Defy, it ruins INT-based attacks.
After that we have Blooming Fireworks, which amplifies into an A-rank shadow/heat AoE for 10 BP which refunds BP to the party. It's random whether it refunds 1 BP or 2, so it's technically an unreliable BP battery, but since it always grants at least 1, it's still functionally a pretty good BP support spell. Roc gaining +2 BP guaranteed when she casts it (shadow damage) and maybe getting another +1 if it hits a weakness makes her one of the best BP battery units in the game.
Finally from GLEX Roc (yes, all three of the spells on that style are worth considering for inherits) you have Lightning Crash. Lightning Crash isn't really anything special — it's just a 0 BP Shadow/Lightning spell that can stun its target. But it's worth inheriting because it lets Roc sustain her Lightning attack buffs while she's spamming her main S2 attack down/debuff attack.
Jumping around to other styles we have Marine Ball from her previous limited style, which is a 5 BP AoE Morale Down attack. It's pure cold damage so it doesn't trigger either of her damage type bonuses, but it's a 3-turn Morale Down that she can potentially stack with her S2's Attack Down if you need more damage debuffing from her.
Dark Pulse from her previous Prefecture style is a 3 BP shadow/lightning AoE attack. Its damage is not considered good for that BP cost anymore, but she can spam it forever and be BP positive like with Lightning Crash but hitting an AoE instead of just a single target, in the event that you need that.
Enraged Squid from that style also happens to be the highest potential damage spell she has. It's 12 BP and it hits randomly between 3 and 5 times, so it's not a reliable nuke, but if you want to use her for damage, that's the spell to go with.
Soul Freeze from her A style (in the offbanner pool; you almost certainly have it if you've pulled on more than 3 limited banners in the last 6 months) amplifies into an A-rank shadow AoE for 9 BP, which is a pretty good cost for the damage it deals. On farms, she can use this on both turns 1 and 2 as long as she hits a weakness with it on turn 1, which winds up being a really good amount of AoE over two turns. It also has a chance to paralyze, although if you want paralyze and you don't need the AoE, Shadow Chains from that style would be better, with both a much cheaper cost (2 BP) and a higher innate chance to paralyze.
Also from A Roc (yeah, another style where all three spells matter) you have Drain Life. Drain Life amplifies into a 4 BP B-rank shadow attack that comes attached with a Small self-heal. The self-heal sizing in this game is not helpfully categorized, and Small self-heal tends to equate to about 900-1200 heals, depending on formation and buffs, making it a spammable attack that is very good at keeping her HP topped up.
Moving on to her SaGa the Stage style, we have Tri-Flower, a C-rank shadow AoE for 6 BP. Tri Flower's damage is utterly unimpressive, but it also buffs the party's WIL, and this style can cast it a whooooole lot with its +2 BP on shadow hit, which is a very compelling option to have for a unit that can dispense Defense Ups.
Her Platinum SS style has Water of Life, which is not going to compare favorably to Graceful Cup in most situations, but it can remove stat debuffs, and in some situations that may be more important than the Defense Up.
Also from the Platinum style is Energy Storm. Energy Storm amps into an 8 BP B-rank shadow AoE. Soul Freeze+ is better damage for only slightly more BP, so on 2-round AoE farms, you would want to use Soul Freeze. On 3-round farms, however, Roc can use Energy Storm on all three rounds as long as she hits a weakness on turn 1 and turn 2. B-rank damage is not always going to clear a round on its own, but being able to cast it back-to-back-to-back is still damn handy.
OK! Final style! We're almost there, cannons!
Last but not least is her S style from the very first Tower event the game released. Lightning from that style amplifies into a 0 BP lightning attack, similar to Lightning Crash from GLEX Roc. Triggering just the lightning portion of her Goby Hook Switch ability is obviously worse than trigger both portions, but it's better than triggering none of them which is what her staff bonk would do. If you don't have Lightning Crash, consider Lightning+ as a filler spell for those turns where she needs to recharge BP - it sustains the DEF boost and it gives her a little more bonus heals.
But Lightning+ isn't the spell we really care about, here. The spell we really care about here is Dark Wash. Dark Wash amplifies into a 10 BP SSS-rank shadow attack, which is already a compelling option over the abysmally-named Lightning of Darkness. But above-and-beyond that, Dark Wash+ removes all stat buffs on its target — not just their INT buffs like Goby Spark does. Getting that buff break function out of a cheaper spell and for all stats is a pretty big deal, and since this is from a tower style, every player has access to it. She has a highly awkward BP rotation using it, so it's not accurate to say she can use it every-other-turn or every-three-turns, but she can use it frequently enough that she can keep even bosses that have pretty aggressive stat buffing in check fairly well.
Macha
Unit Summary
Overdrive damage enabler made far better with an inherit from her last style.
Unit Analysis
Macha with no inherits is kinda meh, honestly. She can theoretically get a lot of BP going between her innate +1 BP/turn and her S1's 25% chance to grant her +4 BP on cast. And she has a ~40% chance to chase every attack with Crimson Flare+, which is a pretty hefty chase attack backed up by her 65% damage boosts. But where she falls down is what she can spend that BP on.
Flame Bash and Saga Magical Train are both AoE attacks. Neither one is especially impressive damage-wise, but they both have decent rider effects. Flame Bash will buff Macha's INT (before attacking, so she gets the buff before damage is dealt) and Magical Train inflicts Sundered on the the targets for 2 turns. Sundered makes the enemy take more damage with each attack they take that turn, meaning if you have Liam and Silver on-deck, they wind up taking a ton of damage just from the chase attacks.
Macha benefits strongly from getting more Overdrive turns, both because inflicting Sundered first thing in the turn helps maximize the damage you get out of it and also because she chases Overdrive attacks with Crimson Sunflare, getting a free trigger on the Sundered effect.
Unfortunately, Macha's only innate defenses and a good chunk of her damage modifiers come from an automatic Morale Up and Guard Up she gets every turn, which do not stack with other Morale Up or Guard Ups. That gives her poor synergy with styles like Music Fest Goddess who grant the party Guard Ups, or Riki who grants the party Morale Ups, or Summer Fatima who does both. And since Macha is only helping to deal more damage, that failure to stack with other Morale Ups/Guard Ups does actually hinder her compared to other characters like Urpina who have innate defenses that do stack with Guard Ups and can dish out a decent amount of damage on their own whilst also helping to squeeze more damage out of their teammates.
Inherits
Divine Tree from her Lunar New Year style helps solve the issue above where the only thing Macha does is damage. Divine Tree is two hits of C-rank blunt/pierce damage which recovers the party's HP on each hit. Divine Tree is actually a decent attack in its own right, and with Macha's +BP tools you can use it frequently enough that it becomes the most heals-per-turn any character can muster without specific kinds of cooperation from the enemy. Of course, you don't wind up using it every turn, which can sometimes be a drawback (you may need the heal on a turn when her BP isn't ready), but on average it winds up being a very, very good healing tool.
Beef... it's what's defeating the enemies — Romancing Festival Limited Banner
Polka Lynn Wood
Unit Summary
Polka is a tank who can get in some counter hits, heal up his teammates, and dispense big hits that come attached to big attack boosts for the party.
Unit Analysis
First is Hearty Steak. Polka sizzles up a decent heal for a teammate and the charbroiled flavor continues to grant them an end-of-turn tiny heal for the next 5 turns. Whenever Polka uses it, he also grants himself that same 5 turns of end-of-turn heal. So it winds up being a good amount of healing for the LP, actually.
Second is Rising Kuroge Wagyu. Polka throws a whole-ass cow at the enemy for SSS-rank heat damage and the... smell...? grants the party a very large attack boost for the rest of the turn. Thankfully, it has [Fast] priority, so it's going to be rare for the attack boost to go to waste. Polka's damage is decent enough on his own, I suppose, but the attack boost for the party is still going to be the meat of the skill, here.
Third is his ability Skills of a Chef. Skills of a Chef is a solid damage mitigation ability plus Flame Ward (polka takes no heat damage and counters all direct attacks with a little heat attack) plus Overdrive chaser. What's the Overdrive chaser? It's Rising Kuroge Wagyu!
-presses hand to ear- I'm sorry, I've been informed that it's not an Overdrive chaser, it's an Overdrive counter. So on Overdrive turns, every time Polka gets hit, he drops a big heat attack on the enemy and he boosts the party's damage some more. If you have characters using big Delay attacks or you just expect Polka to get hit a lot that turn, that attack boost adds up for serious damage.
The longer the fight goes on the tougher Polka gets, so after 5 turns he's pretty tanky (nearly 60% mitigation) and has both reliable self-heal-on-hit and on-demand heal/turn. So he can take those direct attacks like a champ.
Inherits
Still Blade Phoenix is the big one, giving Polka a 9 BP SSS slash/heat delay attack that drops a decent-sized heal on the party. This Polka is slightly tankier than Robin Polka (the style that has that skill), has better BP rotation, and has slightly better self-heal potential, but winds up dealing less damage if the enemy is dishing out lots of direct attacks. (No stacking buff-on-hit and a weaker counterattack.) Your call, there.
If party-wide heals aren't your concern, there's also Back Detonation, an 8 BP SS heat attack that has a medium(!) self-heal. Medium self-heal is substantial enough that it can actually overheal with enough CHA buffs in play. And at the lower BP cost than Still Blade, Polka can use it more often, just straight face-tanking for the team.
Liz Lynn Wood
Unit Summary
Combination WIL buffer and counter defense booster. It's... yeah, it's weird, just read further.
Unit Analysis
OK, so Liz parallels Polka significantly. Where Polka has decent damage and slowly stacks up defense, Liz starts with solid defenses and slowly stacks up damage. Where Polka counters with an attack boost on overdrive turns, Liz counters with a defense boost. Where Polka has heals for the party and self-heals, Liz has WIL buffs for the party and self-heals. Where Polka ignores heat damage, Liz ignores cold damage.
The main difference between the two is that Polka is going to want to save his BP for the big attack + attack boost, where Liz is more likely to want to spam Aqua Bash+, the WIL buff. Aqua Bash is actually a decent attack (B-rank column cold damage for 4 BP) and has the highest Overdrive gain of any skill in the game (restores 25% of the gauge on hit), making her very good at cycling her Overdrive meter back to full. When she overdrive counters with Karatsu Water Wall, she grants a huge defense boost to the party, meaning in situations where you can focus a lot of direct attacks onto Liz, she can wind up absolutely flooring the damage the party takes on her Overdrive turns. And with support from Emelia and Thyme, you can make sure those overdrive turns happen pretty dang frequently.
Honestly, the spammable WIL buff on its own is a pretty sweet deal, but in battles where direct attacks are flying every which way? Yeah, Liz will put in work.
Inherits
Droplet from her last all-mage style is a spot heal that grants the target Guard Up. Great for helping someone survive a turn when Liz doesn't have Overdrive built up yet.
Twin Arrows from her A style (story reward from Polka's story) amplifies into an attack that grants her two tiny self-heals on hit for 3 BP. Great for helping top Liz's health back up between Overdrive turns.
Jo
Unit Summary
Supportish unit who gets to be super tanky for 10 total turns per battle.
Unit Analysis
When Jo's Overdrive gauge isn't full, she has 55% damage mitigation and 20% damage modifiers. When it is full, she has 30% damage mitigation and 45% damage modifiers.
On her overdrive turns, you will want to use Glacial Ray, a 10 BP SSS cold/sun attack with delay. Glacial Ray can only be used 5 times per battle (it's an arbitrary limit; think of it as costing 1 LP but you get to keep the LP for KO purposes), but it causes Jo to ignore all damage for 2 turns. With 55% damage mitigation on turns outside of that window, I don't think I need to explain how good that makes Jo at not getting KO'd.
OK, so she's tough to KO. That's great. What else she do? Well..... not a ton, actually. Glacial Ray is by far her best attack, the other two being E-rank damage and a B-Rank AoE. Fresh Squid (the E-rank attack) includes a self-heal, which is great, but again, it's not bringing much damage to the table. And Ice & Fire Giant Squid, the AoE, is fine damage-wise, and it even includes a Medium Morale Down for 2 turns to help keep damage input low for the rest of the team, but it's 8 BP, so you won't be spamming it.
Now, in fairness, Jo does get +2 BP/turn, so it's not at all difficult to rotate Hot/Cold Squid or to be ready with 10 BP for Glacial Ray on overdrive turns. But if you don't need the AoE component of the Morale Down, she also offers less damage than Aisha does with Earth Thrust, which also maintains a Morale Down.
Now "extremely sturdy + maintains Morale Down" is still a very good deal, don't get me wrong. There's definitely going to be battles where Jo is going to be better to bring than Aisha. But it's also not breaking new ground.
Inherits
Lots, but I'm going to focus on two.
Sunshower from her S style (a GLEX style that was awarded during an event I no longer recall; probably going to be avaialble as a drop at some point this month) is a 4 BP cold/sun AoE attack that grants the party a tiny heal. This is actually BP-positive on this style, since she gets +2 BP/turn automatically, allowing Jo to spam that heal until it's time to drop Glacial Ray. Or if you need the Morale Down more, you can have Sunshower in your back pocket to spend a little excess BP on to help keep the party topped up while you're rotating Hot/Cold Squid.
The other is Sparkling Ice from Robingal. Sparkling Ice deals SSS cold/sun damage, chases with SSS heat/sun damage, and then paralyzes Jo for 3 turns. This is not the highest-damage Jo to utilize this spell, but she is the only Jo style that can use it every-other-turn should you have someone who can cleanse the paralyze.

2023.06.02 06:52 pijamak college students mowing lawn
Last week a couple college students knocked on door, they were going through the neighbourhood (I'm on Lynn valley and William area) offering cheap lawn mowing.
I have a new born at home that was giving me a hard time at that moment, I was in terrible mood and didn't even want to listen to them... Thinking about it later, I actually could use some help, but I didn't even get their contact
Does anybody knew who I'm talking about and have their number? Thanks!
