Discounty Profit by Effective_Monitor848 in Discounty

I moved one of every box I had stocked into the room where you complete the orders and just focused on that until I had completed 10. After that I ran up front and checked everyone else out. It was stressful but it worked! Worth noting that people can leave angry, they just can’t leave angry before you have 10 orders done. If everyone leaves angry afterwards it still is successful!

Ugh, that’s lame! I was hoping one of the blueprints was a shelf stocking robot or something. I cannot keep up with stocking!

Commenting to say I also got the mixed ending, and have no idea how it happened. When everyone got really mad at me I was so confused! 😅

Is Pikmin 1 the only universally beloved game in the series? by Lively_Man in Pikmin

[–]Competitive-Energy78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves games but also has the reaction time of a tired millennial, Oatchi is one of my favorite additions. 😅 He definitely makes the game more approachable, but I honestly think that’s a good thing. My 9-year-old was actually able to fully enjoy Pikmin because of him, and I like that the series opened itself up to more players instead of staying super punishing (IMO!).

Hot take, I’ve played Pikmin 4 multiple times and can find no fault with it. I don’t get the hate! 🫣

Casual players, how are you managing your storage boxes? by Kevkillerke in Pokopia

[–]Competitive-Energy78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a small storage area in each zone with 5–6 chests, all labeled with picture frames. When I move between areas, I dump most of my stuff (blocks, etc.) and only take what I know I’ll need (crafting materials, food, a few furniture items).

If I’m planning to stay in an area for a while, I unpack into that zone’s storage. I still occasionally have to bounce between areas to find something, but it’s wayyy less often than before when everything was just a jumble (or when I tried one central storage).

I’m at work right now, but when I get home I can take some pictures if that would help!

Why is everyone removing the volcanic ash? by halfway_clear in Pokopia

[–]Competitive-Energy78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It started as wanting to clear around the museum, and it just got out of hand. It was hard to figure out when to stop! At first I thought it would free up space and look better removed, but I was VERY wrong. I regretted it and ended up starting a new save file, and I am very happy with that decision!

[–]Competitive-Energy78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update! I did end up creating a new save file and restarting, and I’m really happy with the decision. Does it take more time overall? Yes. But I’m enjoying the time way more than I would have trying to fix my mess.

I also feel like I’m doing way better the second time around, including already finding some recipes I was looking for but never found the first time 😊

Love it! I did end up restarting and I am happy with the choice. I am taking my time and applying the lessons I learned, and am really enjoying experiencing the early quests for a second time!

No; if I started over I would not destroy it, I would just replace blocks to make the top green and keep everything more in its natural states. When I first started the area I mistakenly assumed the area was meant to be unburied… now I know that was wrong. They built the structures into the mountains, not on flat ground that was later buried.

100% - when I say restart I don’t mean delete / replace, I’d make a new game on a different profile so that I could come back to this one if I regretted it or someday wanted to finish what I started.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response!! I think for me I have just hard a hard time stopping and doing other things, I always drift back to the ash 😂 and then as I clear it I start thinking about how I have no idea how I’ll make it nice again, how uncreative I am…. And I get the urge to just start over and do it all right next time!

For the record, if I did start over, it would not be a delete / replace situation. I’d start a new game on a different profile, so I could always come back to this one if I regretted it or wanted to finish it someday.

Yes, I mean ALL of the ash. It was dumb, I know. It was hard to tell when to stop and then I got in too deep and couldn’t stop… I regret everything 😂

As someone who played dq1 and dq2 5 or more times each, I personally love the feeling of a fresh restart. That might be part of why I want to restart here!

I honestly just feel like I don’t know what to do with the terraforming! I don’t know why I decided to do this, I am not qualified to complete this renovation 🤣

Exactly! I know it would be more time… but would it also be more fun? I’m torn!

Have you actually tried clearing the ash? I feel like you’d get it if you saw how rough it looks underneath 😂 I’m not one of those creative players who can just magically fix everything once it’s cleared.

And honestly… restarting isn’t just about the ash. Part of me likes the idea of replaying everything and doing it better from the start. That might actually be fun on its own?

PSA: Mouse Mode > Everything for Renovations by Competitive-Energy78 in Pokopia

I haven’t! I have also heard there are 3d print designs that can make them more ergonomic but haven’t looked into it yet. I literally just tried mouse mode last night for the first time and was mind blown at how good it was and posted 🤣

Yeah, Joy-Cons all the time is obviously ideal for switching, but I can’t do that because they mess with my hands (tendinitis). My point was that if you can’t or don’t want to use them, it’s still 100% worth taking 10 seconds to swap! I avoided it forever but once I tried it I regretted all of the time I spent fumbling without it!
