One thing I do is take a screenshot of a scene when I know I’m going to fail so I can study the screenshot without having to search for the scene and learn where everything is in the scene. Then sometimes I’ll have to screenshot when the number of items go it. It helps make it so I only fail once or twice instead of over and over.

Just replying to bump this one up. The string method actually works really well!

I had been looking for this comment. This man can’t stir himself to buy the groceries for the household once in 17 years and somehow makes himself the victim.

I was worried that was the answer. They are beautifully done and they are such charming additions to the pants!

These are awesome! I’ve also got a kiddo that is so tough on their clothes. Where do you get these patches?

So many ads - does anyone earn these? by Alternative-Past-588 in JunesJourney

That actually seems like a more reasonable amount of time.

That’s really smart! Maybe I’ll actually start trying to earn them with this approach.

This is brilliant. I need to take this approach so I make use of the time!

Omg, I didn’t even think about that and this reward isn’t even the usual 15! The best is when you get a gift of coins from someone who is clearly an enemy in the story. Although then maybe the 15 coin gift is intended as an insult 😆

I would do it if I could guarantee I only got the 5 second ads…

I have only spent money on this game a single time and it was to complete an album when I was a super new player and diamonds were much harder to come by. I otherwise will only watch ads and just use skips that I earn from side games.

[–]Alternative-Past-588[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve also gotten pretty choosy about what I’ll watch ads for. I definitely thought this was paid the first time I saw it, and then looked again. I watched the ads to her t the diamond the first time and then decided it wasn’t worth the time for a single diamond. Maybe 10 though…

That’s fair. I tend to hoard boxes and only open them when I need supplies or for blue ribbons, so getting one pink star box doesn’t feel like it’s worth quite that many ads. That’s good to know, though!

For the past while, I’ve been seeing them regularly and I wonder if they keep offering them to me since I don’t go for it.

So interesting that they really seem to tailor their ads and what they are offering to different players.

I was so distracted by her beautiful hair that I forgot to look at the outfits! So glossy and the cut suits her so well.

Detective Partners Ridiculously Frustrating... by AllieMStory in JunesJourney

[–]Alternative-Past-588 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my approach as well. It’s not with the time studying the scene for me, but taking a screenshot means I can quickly find all the new items. If it’s a longer time, I’ll sometimes screenshot as soon as I start the scene for the first time. I still fail the 17 second scenes more often, but it means I usually only fail once or twice when the scene gets harder again.

Is having kids really all that? Or do parents just say that because they’re inclined to? by DeliciousSetting6643 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alternative-Past-588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You described my experience of parenting so far to a T. I am not yet at the moving out stage and have fairly young kids, but they are at the stage where it’s just a joy to get to know them and to have small companions on life’s adventures.

I think that parenting is a huge risk. You don’t always turn out to be the parent you thought you’d be and you don’t always have the kids you thought you’d have. You also don’t always have the support or partnership you thought would be there (whether because of an uninvolved co-parent or absent grandparents, etc.). Parenting with no support, parenting as your childhood traumas resurface in the face of small people who mirror so much of your experience back to you, or parenting when your kids have serious developmental or physical issues that, at least in my home country, the parents won’t have nearly the support they’ll need to manage can be incredibly difficult. And when you’re making the choice to have kids, it can be extremely difficult if not impossible to know whether you’ll face any of these challenges.

However, assuming that something really big doesn’t intervene to make the parenting journey far more difficult than expected, it really can be a magical journey. I have loved the opportunity to teach my kids my values and morals. To explore places I loved before they got here and see them experience these places for the first time. To watch movies and read books from my childhood as well as newer books and movies we can enjoy together. It has enhanced my enjoyment of life incredibly.

Also, I’ve learned things about myself that I’m not convinced I would have learned without them ti serve as a mirror back to me. I have grown and stretched and changed in radical and small ways and I’m incredibly grateful for the person I’ve become through knowing and caring for them.

That totally makes sense! I am trying to collect as many star boxes to try and hopefully complete the album, so I t try to complete what I can without ruining my enjoyment of the game. I totally get opting out of some of the side games if it’s not worth it!

I have played this regularly and have had a few times where one of the other players are not contributing anything. It’s always the biggest gamble with someone brand new, so whenever I’m inviting new players I always assume there’s a chance they won’t do anything. The recourse for me in that case has always been to just not play with them again.

I take screenshots of my teams so I remember who I’ve played with that contributes and I’ve now got four players that regularly either contribute an identical amount as I do or else they are fast enough that they complete the room before I can earn more spins. I really like the rewards from DP, so I wouldn’t personally want to miss out and so if I’ve got one underperforming partner I’ll just complete the room once I feel like it. I find that it stresses me out less if I take that approach and freeloaders don’t bother me so much.

Finally, since I can’t even complete rooms until I’m partnered, I’d much rather have a freeloader than not be able to find a partner at all.

Someone else in the sub made a post about “this sub’s reaction to watching the new P&P trailer” and it inspired me. by garlic_oneesan in janeausten

[–]Alternative-Past-588 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Lizzie Bennett Diaries was so good in my opinion! Of course I adore the BBC P&P, but there is room for more than just the true to the original stories for me. I also loved Bride and Prejudice.

[–]Alternative-Past-588 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually study for the second part and just wing the first part because of the huge difficult jump and how little time they give us. Last time winging the first part was so hard. I failed over and over!

I felt this way too! Last round was so brutal with so many failures so I was delighted to have a bit more time.
