@goth: I found the Finding Neverland previews for you, if you were still looking. I almost said I found Neverland for you lol. Any time I have trouble finding previews in the threads you mentioned, I go hunting in the News & Updates forums for the announcements associated with the items I'm looking for. :3
If we're talking about arm poses, my favorite would probably have to be the Summer Deer event item arms/jacket thing combo, or the Soulcaster orb item pose. Shown respectively below. The Summer Deer hand up next to the face looks aaaaalmost like that chef meme sprinkling his salt over his food. xD

@goth: Right? I wouldn't know the first thing how to play DND on discord lol. I'm open to it, but not sure how it's done with the dice rolls and everything. I'd have to have a very forgiving group to be confident enough to try. xD

@Jolly: My cat is pretty similar to yours. She was a rescue, and we don't know her history before she ended up in a shelter. She's great with people, but never cared for our other cat when he was around. We want to get another cat soonish, but we need to do some cleaning up a bit and make sure we have time set aside to ensure an easy transition for all involved. We want to get a rescue kitty again, preferably like a black one or one harder to adopt but still good with kids and other cats. But yeah, here's to hoping whenever we get a dog, it won't be too much of an adjustment for our son.
@blue: Those experiences sound bizarre. I wasn't aware asking your marital status was illegal, but maybe it depends on where you live. We only ask for tax filing purposes. I'd be pretty turned off by group interviews regardless of job title, so I can see why it made you uneasy. Some people just know how to interview well, but then once they get in, they turn out to be complete psychos or monsters. Based on my own experiences, anyway.

@Jolly: Right?? I wish I could have a dog, but I have neither the time nor space for one right now. Plus, my son is terrified of them, and I really don't know where he gets it from. As far as I know, he hasn't had a traumatic experience with any dog. Hoping I can teach him that not all dogs are scary.

Aaaah, yes that song by G-Dragon gives me happy feels. <3 Kinda forgot it existed until you mentioned it lol. Funny how that happens--forgetting they exist until they reappear somehow. Also I love the Eragon series as well. <333 I listened to it on audiobook once, but I can't remember if I finished the series in audiobook. ^^; I definitely finished reading it though. It's been a minute since I've felt motivated to read anything, but I'm partway through Howl's Moving Castle, and will eventually read 1984 because I want to see what the fuss is about as I was never required to read that one in school.
ALSO I'd love to get into DND more, but feeling a little discouraged. The first time I tried, we got together with a kinda large group (probably like 8 players) and we spent most of the time building my first and only character, which I felt so bad for taking up all their time that I think they didn't want to play again after that. The second time I had a blast because it was a smaller group, but after that, we never got to meet up again. I don't know of any groups willing to take on newbies.
To answer OP's question though, yes, I do revert back to things that made me happy growing up, such as listening to old music or rewatching favorite series and movies. I'm also watching a lot of anime lately, both new and older series. Plus rewatching anime I've seen before.

@Jolly: You're right, there's always new behaviors with people. xD New excuses too. Like the other day, one of the CNAs said she couldn't come into work last minute because she had to "feed her horses". Then a few days after that, one of her horses got out??? Like bro, don't have animals like that if you can't keep track of them responsibly!

@Jolly: It's a reasonable question to ask why someone left their previous job, but regardless of circumstance, I feel like there are polite ways of putting it without getting into too much detail lol. I've seen all kinds of people walk through our doors. Even people you never thought would do certain things after you get to know them, they'll do it, so hard to trust people, and now also hard to be surprised by anything anymore. People are so strange.

@PrincessBean: Welcome to Voltra! Do you have any questions so far?

@Jolly: Yeah, another big red flag is when they start talking about coworkers "being after them" or just having problems at their previous jobs in general. I understand, sometimes workplaces are really that toxic, but still not a great idea to disclose that in an interview. Maybe after you're hired, y'know? The weed guy sounds hilarious though. xD We've had people try to lie to us about their drug tests, but the cups don't lie. It's amazing how many people don't know that THC stays in your system for so long. Personally, I don't care what you do on your own time, but don't waste mine with your ignorance on how your poison of choice works.

Uh, I was interviewed by the person I technically replaced, because my then-boss was on vacation when they were hiring lol. Honestly, I don't really count that as an interview because I felt like I was asking most of the questions. Granted, it was for an entry-level job, but still kinda silly how it all happened. The lady who interviewed me was on her way out the door, but I didn't know any of this until after I was hired. It all worked out though, because I'm now in my then-boss's position.
I've conducted interviews over the years, and a bunch of the silly stuff is just people not having common sense when it comes to interviews. We'd ask about job history, and some people would admit that they were let go for xyz reason that was a big red flag. I can understand being let go because the company cut jobs, but don't say you had a "disagreement" with management. Don't say you just up and quit one day. I can't trust someone who admits to that, because if they did it once, they'll do it again. Other times, we're in the hiring process, and we tell them there's a drug test involved. Common sense would dictate that you KNOW if you have drugs in your system, and what you'd be flagged for, so you'd KNOW if you would pass or not. Nah, fam, lots of people told us AFTER they done wasted a cup to tell us they had done coke, weed, etc. Though those situations aren't really silly--they're just plain dumb and aggravating.

I love that current/older airship items can be traded in RRR with volts for new items. The trouble is, the recipes call for 1 of each airship item, and here a lot of us are sitting with a boatload of them. xD
SO perhaps make more items to use more of these? Maybe weapons for each team that cost, I dunno, 3 of each of the items. (Example: 3 Sound Bush + 3 Sound Wild Horns + 3 Sound Swimwear + 5000 volts = new Sound weapon). Other possible new items could be banners or flags celebrating your team pride, gloves, armor, wings... Numbers can be played with, but just an idea. Also, the seasonal alpaca and seal items in RRR are cute, so how about more seasonal plushes, or perhaps slippers or scarves, that can be made by using the original airship items plus other items?
I just love recycling items I have in bulk for new items, so there's my idea for the use of older items.
Thanks so much for the new items, and they look great!

@goth: I'll take your word for it lol. I think when Twitter was taking off, the gist I got from it was "this is a place to post about every second of my life" as if people should care, and I said nope. As for IG, I have a hard enough time taking pictures in general (I live too much in the moment to stop and do so) so it wouldn't suit me, I don't think. I've enjoyed scrolling through Tumblr over the years to look at art as well. I never had my own account, though.
I'm thinking anywhere from 15-20k for that item is fair.

Large roaches make me behave like you just did--freak out and go in the other room until I know it's dead. I personally couldn't keep my composure like you did, so kudos to you! I have too many childhood memories of them crawling up my legs, and even though I know they're mostly harmless, they still freak me out. Some "native" Floridian woman tried telling me that roaches don't fly, and I didn't have the energy to argue that she was dead wrong. Maybe some species don't fly, but that's not true for all. Also, I can't stand the sound of one being squished. I freak the heck out, cover my ears, and do a dance as I hum to myself to block out the noise. I know that sounds childish, but I literally can't, and it gets me all sorts of anxious when I know it's coming.
