Not even @God can make @Dave look funny.
I've seen @Dave, and God already did that.
I don't understand where they're coming from either, trying to tell "dad" jokes, when the literal father of all of mankind is around.
Do you have access to super secret admin ratings??
Man, I can't find a picture of him yelling or screaming. He's either happy or stone-faced, that's it.
. . . I meant you can ban us.
Hush, you.
AKA "I spent my evening like I do every Tuesday".
So I'm looking into redecorating (because I'm moving)
First: minor whine: I've been looking at a website of a chain of paint/wallpaper stores in the area - 45 shops, pretty established. There's a small pop-up on the front page that they're closing shop due to a take-over, and the next few months they'll still be of service and having a "closing sale". The rest of their site is completely accessible, and their forms still work and everything. Still, I had the feeling something was a bit...Off. So I checked. The take over, and closing down sale? Yeah, that was 2014. -_-
Second: anyone any recommendations between wallpaper, paint, different types of paint/paper/etc? Price ranges all over the place and I just don't always seem to see why. Non-woven vs woven, paper vs other... I'm especially a bit lost wrt the walls in my (new) bedroom: they're concrete. Part of the reason to go for paper instead of paint is to strengthen the plasterwork, but since there is none... Is it a good idea to just paint? Would that leave any impurities or drilled holes too visible? Should this go in a separate thread in the Advice board?

No no, she'll decide whatever I think is technically best or most fitting is wrong and what we'll actually do, but I still need to first do the legwork
So fake it. Just pick one at random (pretend you're fighting orcs, roll a d20!)No no, she'll decide whatever I think is technically best or most fitting is wrong and what we'll actually do, but I still need to first do the legwork
But actually, I'd say if you aren't good at wallpapering, then don't wallpaper. I'm not good at wallpapering. I don't like wallpaper.
I personally hate wallpaper. It's a pain in the ass to put up and take down. I prefer paint, because it's also easy to fix/change. Just save the sample cards.So I'm looking into redecorating (because I'm moving)

And a green-brown plaid couch, random shelves of crap, and a dehumidifier. Maybe a wetbar.
And a TON of Febreze to get the pot smell out.
10/10 would sit on the floor and play Nintendo on a giant box of a TV that weighs too much to ever get rid of.Wood paneling and shag carpeting. For when you want everybody to know your house was built in the 70s.
I was actually going to consider explicitly mentioning such a couch, but figured it was a given.

Well now you can't use it as your inception totem.
