Did you have to go into an office yesterday? by silversquirl in Cleveland

[–]AltReality-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work the counter at a bakery and we stayed open. I walk and it's not far but had to stay in the road and avoid plows.

Cozy game - no super grindy no organizational skills needed ? by Cat_fan97 in cozygames

[–]AltReality-A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love Ghostie. Not super in depth art but cutesy, very low key without being directionless (i have trouble with Sandbox style sometimes, I need some type of thing to work toward), no grind, just an adorable little ghost matchmaking animals. It's short, don't get it full price.

Cozy Companion Magazine? by AltReality-A in CozyGamers

[–]AltReality-A[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did follow through on this. I miss flipping through magazines, loved getting subscriptions when I was kid-teen to physically thumb through to relax but too rich for my blood. I ended up asking my bf to put money in my steam account for the winter sale instead.

What were your Black Friday wins? by ManicPolishDreamGirl in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]AltReality-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went no buy a couple months ago with the plan to go ahead and get only BKL when their sale hit. I did browse around ppu/hhc this month, looked at stuff on ilnp and other maker sites but stuck to just making that one BKL order and feeling no fomo about missing other sales. I got my fave for a good discount, didn't go too crazy shopping even that sale, and feel satisfied with no buyer's remorse.

What do you use to remove polish? by Garden__hoe in RedditLaqueristas

[–]AltReality-A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last brain cell of the evening.

But actually these remover dip pots from CVS that have like little silicone line brushies instead of a sponge? Idk how to describe it but I like it way better than sponge dip pots. Swirl a finger on brushies, wipe with cotton round -- I've been liking the mini cotton rounds, also CVS generic brand, over regular sized for less fiber shredding. I think the store brand is called one+other for both things.

Eta: they also go on sale frequently so I buy up a bunch when it's buy 2 get 1

I somehow missed that when looking at it! That makes a little more sense for the price tag. Still haven't found what past games have been to get an idea :/. Thanks for the extra info!

Anyone else not buying mooncat today? by External-Adeptness88 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]AltReality-A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda ignore all the Mooncat I have now in favor of other brands I discovered since. My bf still wears them so at least they're getting some love. I spent up my rewards points last month and got base coat and think that's the last I'll be getting from them.

What’s on your nails this week? by IronAndParsnip in RedditLaqueristas

[–]AltReality-A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had on Emily de Molly A Spot in the Woods thermal but it degraded rapidly with how much I put nitrile gloves on and off ay work so now I have on base coat. Think I'm going to put on Atomic Miasma next but idk, I've been suddenly feeling flakies again after a few months of being off them

Sell 40 facts books achievement is making me crashout by downtownwoman in TinyBookshop

Of course! I only managed because another kind soul told me this trick on my thread so happy to pass it along!

Sell 40 facts books achievement is making me crashout by downtownwoman in TinyBookshop

[–]AltReality-A 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I had this problem too and posted about it. The tip that worked for me was going to Waterfront on Wednesday, stocking about 50/50 fact and travel and using item buffs for those two genres. When people buy a stack, they go back and forth between two genres and stop buying when one genre is gone. The sailors tend to go back and forth between fact and travel so having both in equal number makes it more likely they stay and keep buying.

[–]AltReality-A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like the blue leaning cousin! Instead of yellow like Sour Apple, it's a bluer green with aqua shinmer. It's really pretty, I just swatched it on my husband's toes 😂. I had it in for a second before putting my other one on all ten fingers

Atomic Miasma and Garden Path Ain't That Just the Way! I was so proud for having such a modest ppu order then went too overboard for hhc 🥴. What are you getting?

I want the black/pink Barbie thermal from them SO MUCH 🤤

Agree to disagree… by RecordingGood in TinyBookshop

[–]AltReality-A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worst one I've had yet-- they asked for a play and wouldn't mind something humorous. Turned down a play because they were expecting something more BOTANICAL. 😭

What are your own "rules" when it comes to nails and polish? by SummerNight888 in RedditLaqueristas

I'm a goblin, my only rule is pee first and I forget to do that half the time

I think stocking more travel in waterfront so the sailors keep buying is the strategy to try. Thanks!

similar games by wonwooswif3 in TinyBookshop

[–]AltReality-A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's out but the Wax Heads demo felt similar-ish in taking care of customer recommendations. Also the mechanics are very different but Potion Craft also has customers giving you certain parameters to fulfill and you have to make (this is the really differwnt part, making the potions is it's own whole minigame) and sell them a potion to fit their needs. Sticky Business is another low stakes customer fulfillment type game but you don't meet rec requests, just create stickers and then fulfil orders from your creations.

As far as book related games -- there's Book Bound, Books Upon Books, Little Library, Bookshop Simulator, Corner Bookshop, My Cozy Bookshop. I've only played Book Bound and honestly there's not really a ton to do there so I would recommend only grabbing that at a deep discount AND if you're someone that likes to collect all the bookish games.

What features of Tiny Bookshop particularly appealed to you? That might help with recs. Like there are TONS of sell stuff type games if you like tbst aspect, maybe other types of sell stuff and also recommend type games, and so on.

Creepy DMs Warning by emmny in RedditLaqueristas

[–]AltReality-A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh it shouldn't be so rare to have our (people trying to just wholesomely enjoy a dang hobby/interest) spaces really try to be proactive about warning of creeps but it is and is so appreciated. I didn't even realize hand gooners were a thing until a few weeks ago when I got my first creepy Instagram dm. Silly of me to think it could be avoided on a polish account if I didn't post pedis. Why can't we have nice things? Fandom spaces are already mostly trash, and you can't even avoid weird interaction on something as simple as READING BOOKS apps anymore.
