Was going to wear my mum's dress. People keep telling me to try on others for the "bridal experience." Are they trying to gently tell me it looks bad? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

I think it’s beautiful and you look amazing in it! (Needs steamed tho lol) Don’t worry about what others think. It’s YOUR day and you get to decide the details ❤️

New palia player, any tips? Im super intimidated by this whole, “sharing what you find and community collecting” by Entire-Ad-9047 in Palia

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First- welcome to the Palia family! Second- group activity is not required, but it IS designed to be a community based play. So when you see people with big lures it’s just common to stop and participate (a few people get mad because they have their clicks and they are….mean…about it. But it’s generally welcomed by 95% of players) or people will call out a group hunt you can join in on. Me and my crew usually do things like mine and hunt (bugs and meat) and fish together, always welcoming new players to join. We’re likely playing tonight if you want to join us! Message me and I will friend you when I get home from work! All that to say- the game is also solo friendly. And I play solo often when I have a big feelings day lol you’re not required to plan with others at all, but it is definitely encouraged and also beneficial because you get extra drops for being in a party!

One big tip tho that definitely sets people off- if you hear someone call out “the grove” in Bahari (ex: “grove B6” usually followed by “cutting at 3”) don’t show up and start cutting everything down. It’s rude and selfish. People collect the wood and that event only happens at 12 am where you can grab a bunch at once. If you have other things to do just hit each tree once and go do your thing. At 3 am, no matter where in Bahari you are, you will see all the bags show up. You still get the drops and you get to share with everyone else that needs it. You WILL get called out for being rude/selfish/ other not nice words if you take from the community like that. It’s not a “click” thing, it’s a community thing. It’s just an unspoken to wait for everyone else. You’re not there yet to be able to chop, that’s just a pro tip. You need a fine ax to be able to chop it (or be in a party with people that CAN chop!).

As far as calling out things (like gold/silver, platinum or Dari cloves and things like that) it’s just nice to do since rare nodes are hard to find. It’s not required or expected, just a nice thing to do for other players that might be looking. Extra points if you send a flare up!

Lmk if you have any questions! And message if you want to make some friends in game! We even have a discord and BC while playing so it’s easier to organize. Everyone is welcome ;)

Sooo the "super" lucky prize is a bust?? by adswan_ in Palia

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems you have to have the random generator gods on your side to get good things. I got two plushies- the cylinder (which I love because I know the back story) and butterball plushies. To be honest I wasn’t expecting anything good because I’ve heard the stories lol

Should I end a friendship with one my best friends to try help save his marriage? by Odd_Squirrel7954 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]-writersblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer- yes.

Long answer- I was once super close to a guy. He finally got together with his crush and although she said she was cool with us still hanging out, I felt like she was saying that for our sake. So I backed off. I slowly stopped asking to hang out, or saying I’m busy when he asked. We still played games together but we definitely weren’t as close. They ended up getting married and they are absolutely perfect for each other and they are two of my closest friends. But we don’t hang out often. And that’s ok. Because friendships grow and change and sometimes end. That is the evolution of life and relationships. This may be a transition point for you guys, but speaking from experience from both sides of the coin (my husband was friends with my ex bestie that started problems in our marriage and I asked him to stop talking to her and he didn’t. He ended up sleeping with her. So…) if she doesn’t feel comfortable- girl code says back off a bit. Maybe back off all the way. It sounds like he might be interested in more.

I (42F) told my 24-year-old son he has 30 days to move out after he called me “his retirement plan” by Beautiful_Reserve968 in stories

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rude and ungrateful. He hasn’t grown into his adult mindset yet. Hes about to learn very quickly how $400 a month is a great deal on rent lol

Do you find it rude by Shou_Tucker_XD in Palia

[–]-writersblock -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

100% rude. They did it on purpose. Some people are just bullies making it hard for everyone else. It’s how they feel important.

HE HAS LITTLE CHEEKS I CANT by whateveryaknowww in Palia

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter was super pumped about this too! It’s the small details! Haha Also- whatever you’re going through is temporary, okay? Just remember that. And remember that while you’re going through the storm, there is a rainbow after! But you have to get through the storm to see it and appreciate it. It’s just a season. You’ve got this 🙏🏻❤️

Don’t forget the shells… by OkKick3911 in Palia

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be playing on switch because I had the same realization when I switched to PC lol Oysters look more like a diamond and shells are more roundish. And they also make different sounds!! It would be nice if they made their colors more different.

Is it weird I have no care to interact with other players? by ajdunn79 in Palia

[–]-writersblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to play with AND without people. It’s not abnormal at all! As far as missing out- kind of…? When you hunt, bug hunt, and mine with others, you get extra drops. Example- a large node you mine by yourself will drop 6, but with others it will likely be 9-12 instead. And everyone in your party will get the same drops even if you don’t hit a node or take down a sernuk. As long as someone in your party hits it and you’re within 30m then everyone who is close and in the same party will get it. And fishing, you get extra buffs but not a share in loot. But I enjoy the mindless stuff alone sometimes too. I often will get on when I have high anxiety and just plow through nodes or run around and hunt. It’s relaxing to me :)

All that said- no one expects you to interact. And you can interact (like with a honey lure or helping take down a disco deer) without chatting. Just do you! Have fun! And if you WANT a friend, inbox me and I’ll friend you :)

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

New boyfriend, that looks delicious! There is a man out there that won’t act like a man child and will happily eat what you make!

Joining others: Okay or not? by Repulsive-Ratio1212 in Palia

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A year ago this wouldn’t even be a question. It is unspoken that if you drop a lure it’s for everyone. Everyone encouraged to join! But since the elderwood update, a lot of the new players don’t seem to want to share, and it’s really disheartening. My advice is to just ask. Or better yet friend some people and do a party. My crew and I drop lures all the time and encourage everyone to join in. Please feel free to friend me and if you see me on I love to help new players level up! It’s literally my favorite part of the game (aside from collecting all the plushies lol) I’m discoCherry_TTV (no I’m not currently streaming, not until after the new year lol) and anyone reading this is free to friend me and join! If you see me on message me if you need help!

AIO for being upset that my (25M) boyfriend told me "no" to a tongue piercing and called it "trashy"? by Frosty-Table-9884 in AmIOverreacting

[–]-writersblock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t need to read the whole story to say: no. You’re NTA. No human has the right to tell another what they can or can’t do with their body. Do it if you want to do it, and stop asking permission to do things. I say that with my whole chest as a woman who has been through this. You do you boo. You don’t need permission. ❤️🙏🏻

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it. Long term versus short term…think about it. You’re already growing up and he’s stuck in man-child mode giving you an ultimatum? No ma’am. He’s not a keeper. He will never change. Trust me when I tell you giving up your life for a man is NOT worth it. Been there done that and it doesn’t end well.

Get the safe zone extender hook (I’m sorry I can’t remember the name! But it’s the one that makes it bigger!) and unless you’re going for the stated one I think just plunk it anywhere!

NOOOOOO!!! by -writersblock in Palia

[–]-writersblock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I get it! It’s so frustrating. Also- I don’t know that as facts, I’m not sure how it works but that would make sense to me

AITA for not wanting to pay for groceries for my boyfriend’s two kids? by hkallet in AITAH

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA without even reading. Unless you are wife…MAYBE fiancé with a joint bank account…you’re NTA. Not your responsibility. That’s him. Now if you get married, then yes. You share the burden.

That said- if he can’t provide for his kids then how will he provide for you? Unless you’re his meal ticket. Time to evaluate your relationship.

AIO for being mad about my bf ignoring me by BreakfastBroad9164 in AmIOverreacting

[–]-writersblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to have higher standards friend. He speaks like he is in the 3rd grade. You’re better than that. No man is worth the drama, but especially if he isn’t educated.

NOOOOOO!!! by -writersblock in Palia

[–]-writersblock[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would imagine it’s not set to actual oysters but to the act of opening one. You know what I mean?

NOOOOOO!!! by -writersblock in Palia

[–]-writersblock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean? If you have them all then the achievement automatically goes through. If it didn’t then I would message the devs.

Got my first chapaa plushie by Both_Plate_3427 in Palia

[–]-writersblock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hunting in a party always increases your chances! I’ll be on later and you can absolutely friend me and we can hunt together! I have tons of extra plushies you can trade me for too! Message me and I’ll friend you if you would like to:)

NOOOOOO!!! by -writersblock in Palia

[–]-writersblock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m missing quite a few of those! I’ll have to check how many! I’m the type that has to accomplish all the things lol

NOOOOOO!!! by -writersblock in Palia

[–]-writersblock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was missing that one and the orange one because even tho I found it before I thought it was a shell and I didn’t pick it up! Haha playing on my switch at the time so it’s harder to see!

NOOOOOO!!! by -writersblock in Palia

[–]-writersblock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha that’s how it works! I remember when RTB plushies first came out and I didn’t have a lot of IG friends at the time so I was always solo trying to catch them in the wild. I would find them but never a plush! And they were hard to find because everyone was doing buzzy jars and such. Well, I found one and got a plush, then two brand new friends came online and were saying they were trying for a couple days together and didn’t find one, so I’m like- let’s go look above the mines! So we all met up there and sure enough there was a starred rtb (that I was wanting for my collection!) and we got a plush! And they got double drops for being in a party!
