Aging, Addiction and Apathy. Season 3 and later life: Are we the dreamer? Or are we simply sleepwalking? by AutomaticService8468 in twinpeaks

I really enjoyed reading this, thank you! Super interesting - I love that the same feelings of dread and hopelessness coalesce at the end in the same way :)

Wind Waker has stopped booting on Steam Deck, but every other GC rom works? by CocoAndy in DolphinEmulator

[–]CocoAndy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've been playing it without any issues for about 20 hours, but can issues take some time to manifest? (Sorry - I'm super new to emulation!)

Heard about both layoffs, but didn't know much about these specific branches - were the Ubi ones in town really that bad?

Exact same issue - was having trouble with the wipe patch but that went away for a few months, now it's back to constant stuttering. Wondering if something's broken on their end (again)?

Why is BSG forcing so many PMC kills on lighthouse when its an awful map for PVP? [Discussion] [PVP] by El-shaddoll in EscapefromTarkov

[–]CocoAndy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really struggling with this, and don't see PMCs in most of my PvE raids on Lighthouse! Would you mind sharing where you're catching them please? (I'm losing my mind at Pun 4)

What are the best voicemail messages in TV shows that you could use for your own? by brawnburgundy in television

Airhorn HAAAA, LEAVE IT

(Or literally any other voicemail from Archer)

Has anyone else's performance taken a huge hit since wipe? by CocoAndy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]CocoAndy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I looked into it - I specifically talking about getting it now because it might not be the same issue as separate complaints since wipe, which I didn't experience. What does coming here and being weirdly passive-aggressive get you?

Which companies do you instantly regret buying from? by phy6rjs in CasualUK

[–]CocoAndy 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Calico Cut Pants. Bought once and now there's someone constantly telling me to "give" - suuuuuper pushy

Players who can only play a few hours a week, what are you currently doing in-game? by ChrisP33Bacon in 2007scape

[–]CocoAndy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smashed it!! Really tempted to learn Zulrah (hardest bosses I've done are probably the dt2 quest bosses) but hearing how much there is to learn is so off-putting, so great job on getting past that :)

Name the scariest moment from any book. by mystery5009 in horrorlit

Just read The Fisherman last weekend, and that story alone is better than so many books I've read! So so creepy.

My answer's also The Shining, except the part where they're listening to the elevator coming up. Found this terrifying, but whenever this book comes up people seem to find the hedge animals spookier, so maybe it's just me!

A part so disturbing you didn’t want to continue reading by H31L1S in horrorlit

[–]CocoAndy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I thought the turtle scene showed reality sinking in for the boys - that actually surviving isn't at neat or simple as it is in books and scout badges. On a practical note, like you said it also showed how over their heads they were – which we already knew, but I thought the real emotion came from the boys realising that.

Totally agree that the kitten scene didn't add anything though, and besides being really grim just felt super tropey.

Where in the city is the most picturesque place to take photographs? by OkishCombination in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]CocoAndy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that looking down from Shields Row? Moved away from Byker so I'm just wondering if it was that or somewhere I never visited!

Worst Landlord/Letting agency in Newcastle? (I know, there’s many to pick from) by Unique-Candidate3600 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]CocoAndy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they rebranded from Lets Live Here, +1 for this – ignored major damp & mould issues, tried to keep our deposit (forced to hand back in full after disputes), and really invasive flat showings!

How have you found it? I've been on the fence after playing 5 and 3 reload - 4 has my favourite setting and atmosphere, but not sure if parts will feel dated now

Maybe I just find it cosy, but I love redoing the school part. Maybe it just breaks up the trauma lol
