I saw that! Greyed-out Wolverine model bouncing off the log truck lol
Hal – It’s the Sims, except focused on one guy called Hal.
Super Sash Bros – They’re all fabulous and they love to parade about in their sashes!
Dragon Ball Xenverse – A couple of Saiyans find themselves in the Borderworld and help Gordon Freeman send the Nihilanth packing.
The Matrix: Path of No – You take the blue pill. The end.
Low frequencies (bass) travel farther and are most likely to make whatever material is around the speaker resonate, amplifying the sound – that’s why you tend to hear the bass first
Had a huge Northern Kings phase a couple years ago. Damn good stuff.
Time, the Valuator covered Lovely as well. Pretty fucking amazing.
Bantamweight’s haunting cover of Nirvana’s Heart Shaped Box is sorely underrated in my opinion.
ERRA’s versions of Audioslave’s Light My Way and Muse’s Stockholm Syndrome.
Art vs Science’s psychedelic-funk cover of Enter Sandman featuring a sweet as keytar solo.
Sleep Token’s heartwrenching unplugged version of Hey Ya!.
And finally, Denzel Curry’s supercharged version of Bulls on Parade. I didn’t think the track could sound angrier but he’s gone and done it.
Bonus: Andrew Hulshult’s Hell March, featuring chainguns as percussion, Master Boot Record’s Doom E1M1 metal chiptune remix, and GeoffPlaysGuitar’s argent-metalized Halo Overture.
@BabushkaCat No worries, it’s all good, gemology and materials science is so fucking cool and I’m really delighted you’re studying it
@BabushkaCat Oh yeah no definitely, star sapphires are like that because of crystal structure, star opals are like that because of impurities. Totally on the same page here. I’m glad we could come to an understanding :D
Thing is, star opal isn’t… real.
The GIA seems to differ. They’re rare, but they’re definitely real, and they’ve been found in Thailand.
On balance you’re very probably correct that her ring isn’t star opal simply because of how rare they are, but still, slight YTA for jumping to conclusions immediately without taking a look at the stone first.
Honestly, as someone in a relationship with a person who I thought was solidly, stratospherically “out of my league” at first, I can tell you the concept of “leagues” is wildly inaccurate (even though a part of me is still convinced that she is way out of my league).
Two things matter here:
Now that we’re clear on that, see how your time together next week goes. If she seems like she genuinely enjoys having you around, ask to hang out again in a more informal situation. Invite her out to something you think she might be interested in. See how that goes. If it consistently goes well a couple of times (for both of you), gently bring up how you feel and tell her you’d like to ask her out on an actual date, and be guided by her response. Judging by what you’ve told us up there, your chances are already looking pretty good, because she seems to enjoy your company a lot.
Tl;dr – be yourself, be brave, and most of all, be (genuinely) kind. You’ll be all right one way or the other. Good luck!
