Taken by boat. Slightly visible are some cranes at the shipyard. Usually you'd also see all the Downton skyline. Very cool to watch this roll in!

How do you know when it's just a rough patch vs time to end a romantic relationship? I know it's quite personal and varies by relationship, so I'm more interested in folks' experiences than in a general rule or standard. (Although if you do have a rule of thumb to share, would love to hear it too.)

Note: I'm not speaking of abusive situations, but of relationships with ordinary troubles.

I'm looking for communities or magazines for technical/professional writers. Please let me know if you're aware of any. :)

First of all, thanks for your rapid work on this app for for being so responsive to community requests!

I was thinking it would be helpful to allow difference app settings (including filters, layout, NSFW preferences) for each account you've added.

Use case: I don't want to see NSFW at all on my main account, whereas I do want it (and don't need it blurred) for an account on an NSFW instance. Not having to manually change the setting each time would be a nice-to-have feature.

I'm blatantly borrowing an idea I saw in the Montreal community...

Would anyone be interested in a virtual book club featuring books set in Halifax, or perhaps the Maritimes more broadly? A thread could be opened and run for a set time (maybe a month), after which a new book would be chosen.

A couple of possibilities off the top of my head. Both are available through HPL and the Libby app.

• Butter, Honey, Pig, Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi (partially set in Halifax)
• Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald (mostly set in CB)

If a few folks are interested, I would be happy to facilitate the first thread and come up with some discussion questions. 😄

(I imagine the short answer for many is "extensive mods," but I'm on PS4 so my choices in that area are a bit limited.)

I got really into Skyrim when I was unemployed during the summer of 2020. I've probably put in close to 1,000 hours to date. I still love the game, but unfortunately I'm now so familiar with the questlines, enemies, dungeons, and dialogue that it's hard for me to continue enjoying it. Even if I put it down for 4-5 months, I still find myself a little burned out because I know it too well by this point.

Some might ask, "Why try to keep playing, then?" and it's a fair question. Basically, I still like the mechanics of the game. I still enjoy a good dungeon crawl. Archery is an incredibly satisfying combat skill and I haven't been able to find another game that's quite as fun for archery. And tbh, Skyrim has become a comfort game for me when I need an alternate world to slip into for a few hours. I want to keep enjoying it. I'm just not sure how anymore.

For other players who've logged a lot of hours, I'm curious to know: How do you keep the experience fresh and interesting for yourself? Are there different RP strategies that you take? Do you mod the hell out of your game? Do you just embrace and enjoy the familiarity?

While "fix everything" is a bit ambitious, this seems like a step in the right direction. I'm not sure I trust our current council to work toward such a plan with any sort of urgency, considering the numerous delays on something as basic as tap-to-pay transit... but shoot for the moon, I guess.

What do you think?

I started playing Civ 6 on console about a year ago, and I've finally acquired all the expansion packs and additional leaders. (While I'm very excited about it, my SO's response when they see me playing is usually "Ugh, not that CORN GAME" again 😂)

Now that I have all possibilities unlocked, my goal is to find a combination of game rules, options, and modes to give myself a good challenge while keeping it fun.

So far, I typically do Gathering Storm rules and enable Secret Societies and Heroes & Legends. Occasionally I'll do Dramatic Ages. Barbarian Clans are a must. And usually I disable Diplomatic Victory.

What are your preferences? Do you have an "optimal" game setup you like to play? Are there any cool custom games that I should try out?
