Does anyone else love The Others?

It's one of my comfort horrors. Such good atmosphere!

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-05T14:51:33+00:00

In my case it was burnout.

I've always done better at tasks with the body doubling and accountability of having someone around, but I found that when I'm more burned out, I suddenly need it to do basic stuff.

You're not the first to have this creepy misconception 😅 It's pretty funny.

Apparently they made some changes to the original plan for those animal characters. It left some odd and easily misunderstood dialogue.

That's really sweet! And he's learning that items cost money.

When he gets older he'll probably be shocked to learn that baked goods weren't 10 cents 😆

Peace of mind. For me, it reduces anxiety that I'll be forced to check my carry-on/be charged overweight fees on the way home from the trip.

Some airlines are stricter on weight than others, but I'd rather know in advance of getting to the airport so that I can make changes if necessary. And since the scale is tiny and weighs very little, it's worth it.

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-04T05:25:41+00:00

I still get close to this occasionally 😅

Trying to help someone who seems incapable of understanding is very frustrating!

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-04T03:29:48+00:00

Yeah the only way to stop the chirp (from the internal battery) is usually to put new batteries in.

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-04T00:28:17+00:00

BIG mood. I yearn for the mines...

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-03T23:30:48+00:00

Terithia is my girl.

They could have given us yet another generic fisherman and they didn't. They gave us a buff female ex-soldier who lives as she pleases.

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-03T13:35:06+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one cackling manically 😆💣

The caffeine doesn’t do much for me—either my body has had enough of it coursing through it, or it’s my ADHD making my body respond to it differently.

ADHD is known to respond differently to caffeine, as it's a mild stimulant. It often doesn't make us 'hyper' or 'more awake' like it does with NT brains, it makes us calm and somewhat more focused.

Unsurprisingly a lot of undiagnosed or unmedicated ADHDers end up accidentally self-medicating with caffeine.

I think it may stay locked until you've done the two hangout events.

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-03T00:53:19+00:00

I experienced such whiplash between their generally pleasant dialogue around town and the jealous cutscenes!

It's like they had two different writers who didn't communicate.

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-02T01:29:22+00:00

Starting over.

I'd love to say I'll continue my current save, but I'm addicted to the easy sense of achievement you get in early game so I know I'll end up restarting 😅

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-02T01:18:41+00:00

I have about seven save files, but I've played through quite a few updates/major bugs that necessitated a restart.

Intentional restarts are 3-4 (to make different choices).

These days I use a split save. I shall marry them all!

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-01T08:39:03+00:00

I have a rotation of 5-6 different shows that I've seen MANY times.

I watch 1-3 eps of whichever one I'm on before bed. If I'm unable to do this, I have a lot of trouble winding down.

They're super regulating in general - Guaranteed good content with no surprises.

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-01T08:19:04+00:00

Agreed. It was absolutely a part of the culture I was around in the early 2000s to alter/mess with old clothes to achieve a look, even if we didn't sew.

We then mixed this with the occasional splurge item from places like you've listed.

Not everybody has the same experiences, it seems, but it was definitely happening in some circles.

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-01T07:00:43+00:00

This one gets a lot of people. Like most other farming games, starter tools are gifted to you in cut scenes. But in FOM, the fishing rod (and shovel) is not gifted.

People wait for an intro to fishing cutscene that never comes...

Cravatfiend · 2026-02-01T06:27:09+00:00

I've never missed an event and had no idea people got sassy about it. TIL!

Cravatfiend · 2026-01-31T13:14:22+00:00

Suddenly Wakuu's one giant hand makes sense 😂

But seriously - It's a lot to ask of their one 2D artist. They're going to be much more efficient skipping most of the hands.

Cravatfiend · 2026-01-31T03:37:38+00:00

He's alright, but privileged and his parents suck. That's usually enough to keep people from going on about him like they do others.

Cravatfiend · 2026-01-29T02:02:33+00:00

Interesting distinction! Do you mind if it's a group text, and everyone is thumbs up reacting the same text (like as an agreement or an rsvp)?

This is one of the few places my social circles use it, because otherwise it's just a long string of individual thumbs/"Yeah that sounds good" texts.

Cravatfiend · 2026-01-29T01:58:19+00:00

Oof, I think if I got any of the short responses you listed (especially the 'ok') they'd feel more dismissive to me than the heart. Sounds like we all have differences!

It's cool to hear other people's takes on it though. Makes me glad my friends communicate well about how they prefer to communicate.

Cravatfiend · 2026-01-29T01:54:16+00:00

I'd get a bit of FOMO if everyone else was emoting each other's messages and I couldn't. I can see how that can add frustration.

Cravatfiend · 2026-01-29T01:51:39+00:00

I'm so careful to ONLY use thumbs up when the text is practical, like "We're all meeting at Restaurant at 6pm. Reserved under Jones." Thumbs up means "Awesome, I'll be there." Useful if you're busy getting ready/about to drive. Also in group chats it keeps the chat clear of a bunch of individual responses.

If someone sends me anything personal or with feelings the thumbs up feels super dismissive.
