I'm a self-checkout hater, but that's mostly because I'd rather dump my groceries on the conveyor and zone out while someone else gets paid to do the work. If I do self-checkout, I have to do everything myself and then it complains and I have to get staff to come fix it and it's all so stressful.

Hmm. Which dungeons would those be? As far as I'm aware, all the main dungeons give an aspect as a reward the first time you complete them. These will also count towards the renown goal.

Aspect rewards are per-realm. So if another of your characters has already finished that dungeon and unlocked the aspect, it will not show any aspect reward for a different character.

As for not getting the renown progress, is it possible that you've already done that dungeon with the current character?

We have only two gas appliances in our home - the gas stovetop and the instant hot water. I definitely want to look at replacing these with induction and something electric for the hot water. We have solar so would prefer to use this if possible. Also considering getting batteries at some point.

Anyone done something similar?

Did you read the article? It's primarily aimed at motorcycle riders and states that rider behaviour is a large contributor to crashes. It urges motorcyclists to slow down and stay attentive, watch for hazards (vehicles and road conditions), keep an eye on traffic that might pull out onto the road in front of you. Seems all reasonable stuff to me.

It's only the last section that's mentions the need for drivers to be careful. And even then it's only "please take a second look" which is always good advice. Always check twice so you don't pull out and hit a motorcycle (or bicyclist, or pedestrian!) that was blocked from your view by the A-pillar when you glanced at traffic.

What's with the surge in calling soccer "football"?

No, you can make a seasonal character straight away. The restriction is that you can't access the seasonal content (malignant gems, malignant quest line) until you've finished or skipped the campaign with that character.

Is it possible that allowed her to choose seasonal when she set it up? She can’t remember what she chose.

Unless the character was created pre-season, there's nothing that would stop her from selecting seasonal realm on character creation. It's also the default for new characters.

The most likely answer is "she created a seasonal character".

Oh yeah, I found it - it's the mask thing that the Skeleton character can make: https://divinity.fandom.com/wiki/Fane%27s_Mask_of_the_Shapeshifter

I seem to remember the shapechanging helmet from one of the other games. Was it a thing in D:OS2?

Here in South Australia, we paid $4000 all up for our 6.6 kW solar system just a few years ago. System price was $7600 and we got $3600 back from the STC rebate thingy.
