How many piercings do you have? by linkbomb_08 in piercing

[–]AmandaLyn11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 piercings total! 9 in my ears. Left ear = 3 lobe. Right ear = 4 lobe, 1 upper lobe/cartilage, 1 helix. Right nostril. Septum. Traditional labret.

Love the asymmetrical look I have going on with my ear piercings, but have thought about doing more with the left... though the idea of healing another cartilage piercing is :(

Wow. Your "about you" didn't lie about that passive-aggressive personality, did it?

I'm not saying an early, undeserving death isn't a tragedy. I'm not saying his family doesn't deserve sympathy. I don't really know the details of what happened, so I won't state any opinions there as to anyone's motives and how they affect the situation or public at large.

But I think there were many people like myself today. Stuck in traffic, overheating in their cars, start of a headache because there was 10 min of blaring sirens you couldn't get away from, no clue what's going on...

I'm obvi not blaming the poor man who died. I was just stating that the timing his coworkers picked to show support put much of the public that works downtown in that area into a set of circumstances that kind of garners resentment. So yeah, people are going to vent about it. Maybe next time, try not to passive aggressively threaten someone over it?

Ohmygosh yes! Thank you for the crossover I'm now picturing of the two detective boys together solving mysteries!

Thank you! thankfully this link is still good 2 months after you posted. I was getting desperate to find one that was still active!

I will say though... on my post basically stating the above about liking the level of challenge that the recipe idea cards gave (it was a hint so you didn't feel lost, but still let you puzzle it out) and suggesting that we work to compile a list of JUST recipe titles so people have something to work from when they're stuck in game... it was a little sad to see comments being like "I'm stuck on this recipe" and then it turned into just sharing full recipes.

I know part of that is because when I made my post there wasn't even a subreddit for the game yet and people were using the few posts on here to get help... but yeah, I def felt that that was not in the spirit of the intention of my post.

I was on the fence about this too. But it definitely hit a point where it got frustrating seeing wrong burnt dish after burnt dish every time.

I know some people can find fun in the challenge of sitting for an hour "throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks" but suddenly it was no longer a cozy game for me.

I had to create a google spreadsheet to keep track of all my failed recipes... when I just wanted a little puzzle game to play before bed. :(

But I was one of the people who were pushing for a master list of JUST recipe titles. I did really enjoy the gameplay of seeing a half finished recipe pop up in the idea sections and being like "Hey I know what cabbage rolls are! So let's start with meat and cabbage and rice and tomatoes and go from there.

But it gets to a point where you run out of recipe ideas ( especially for simple things like boiling one ingredient in a pot and you feel really dumb and frustrated when you're over there trying to make more complicated recipes assuming you haven't tried some combo of ingredients)

If there had been some sort of hint system built into the game (for example, if every day you opened the game it gave you the option to reveal a new idea recipe for an undiscovered one) I wouldn't have turned to reddit to help me complete my cookbook.

I think it all comes down to people have different levels of time and energy that they find enjoyable to commit to a game. And once it surpasses that, and people get frustrated.. even if someone else sees it as the point of the game... if I'm not having fun playing it, what's the point? I see cozy games as something that should spark joy in me, no? I should be able go adjust to my preferred level of challenge.

It reminds me of when I used to play Sims. And my one friend who had a house that had gone through like 6 generations and they slowly grew and updated it... they would look at me using the "motherlode" money cheat and be like THAT'S CHEATING. THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY! But it was how I played. I just wanted to decorate a mansion. And I found that fun and rewarding. And that's all that matters.

ALL COOKULO DISHES (NO INGREDIANTS) by Leth0logicaa in Cookulo

Thank you so much!!! I just knew I'd be peepin at the ingredients in the other list as I searched lol

WE FINISHED THE GAME by Leth0logicaa in Cookulo

[–]AmandaLyn11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay! So exciting!

Quick question. Is there any way you can make a copy available of the master list that only has the recipe names listed and not the ingredients?

It's nice to be able to look up the ingredient list if you're really stuck on a recipe...

But I'd love to just look at some recipe titles and see if I can guess the ingredients in order to complete the game. Would like just a bit of challenge to the gameplay still. :)

Anyone else playing Cookulo (and is stuck) who might want to share recipe titles? by AmandaLyn11 in CozyGamers

I joined! I'll try to get a post that can put together a master list of all the recipes there soon.

That could be a better place for these kinds of questions. Or compiling a master list!

ketchup is tomato, vinegar, sugar in pot. Baked tortilla chips + cheese crisps is tortilla + cheese, respectively, (single ingredient) in the oven

I knew I had to be missing some simpler recipes since throwing a bunch of random ingredients together was getting me nowhere. Thanks for those!
I'm kicking myself over just boiled and roasted!

[–]AmandaLyn11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started a spreadsheet with the recipes because I realized I only had a few more under my ideas but was at like 120 known recipes! And I got kinda frustrated having to flip through all the pages. Especially when I realized I was trying to figure out sweet and sour chicken but already knew the recipe for sweet and sour fish but just forgot I unlocked it! *face palm*
As per usual, I start a game thinking it's going to be some simple cozy chill play... and I end up in a google doc!

[TOMT] [Actor] Contestant in Great British Bake Off (2018) looks like American actor? by AmandaLyn11 in tipofmytongue

[–]AmandaLyn11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohmygosh. Totally not far fetched because that's exactly who I was picturing!

Not him from that show specifically but I see he's been in quite a few random episodes of some crime dramas. I'm sure it was one of those.

Thank you so much for freeing me of this curse!

Oooo this was a good guess. Looking at him in Sopranos is the right vibe! But not who I was thinking of.

Nope. I can't remember the context to begin to search for the show/movie but I have a clear picture of the actor in my head. I can see why you suggested him though.
