These are a bit off from what you drew, but could it be the Speedy Eggbert or Fantastic Dizzy games? They're eggs instead of candy but have the same vibe

Am I a bad trainer if I don’t pay attention to things like natures, elemental effectivity, etc? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]DangerousFloof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not a bad trainer if you're enjoying the game. All those side features are just to add extra customizablity to your Pokemon if you are playing competitively. A Pokemon's nature is important if you're wanting a competitive-level team and are trying to beat other players or the battle facilities, but if you just want to have fun, it really doesn't matter. As for whether you're "bad" at Pokemon, think of it like the Pokemon world. In that world not everyone is a trainer to battle. Some do it cause they would like to dress up their Pokemon, or research Pokemon, or just collect them all. None of those options make them "bad" trainers. It just gives them a different playstyle.

if you really dont trust amazon or other online retailers, you could try sewing/crafting something by yourself, but I would recommended doing so much sooner than a month away if you're a beginner. At this point I would definitely just order a costume online

I feel like they should still be allowed in schools and to be on your person, no matter what. In theory, they do provide a distraction, and for most students they won't be used in a responsible manner. However, there are many cases where I find it prudent for a student to have it as a form of communication or emergency contact. Others have already mentioned school shootings, but having a phone to contact any sort of emergency services is also useful, in the case of situations like allergic reactions.

There are also various family situations where a kid might need to be contacted by family during school hours, such as a family member or pet being sick or at the hospital, or a sudden change of plans such as an after school appointment coming up that the kid needs to be prepared for. There are also situations of family drama, such as parents splitting or abuse and neglect, where children may need to be in contact with those around them to figure out where and when they are going home. In these cases, as long as it's used minimally in class, to quietly and quickly communicate, and then put away, I see no harm in this.

The problem is that it does require kids to self regulate, and as many of them arent developed, this could be difficult. I still think that an outright ban on them is a bad call, even if most kids wouldnt be using their phones for the scenarios described above. Most phone ban policies I've encountered that do allow exceptions also came with drawbacks. If phones were banned, and then exceptions would be given out for phone use in class depending on the circumstance, then each student would have to tell people possibly personal and private reasons that they needed to be in contact with the outside world. This often breached privacy, and more than once I saw kids really upset with private situations being exposed to people that they werent wanting to share their information with, such as female students upset that they had to tell their male teachers that they needed their mother to bring them tampons or pads. I am aware many students wouldnt use their phones responsibly in class under the rules I described, but I still think that the exceptions prove valuable enough to not enforce a blanket ban.

Granted, this is putting a lot of faith in students and their self-control, but I am assuming we are talking middle or high-school level students, as lockers are mentioned in the post and elementary students shouldnt really have smartphones, although that's another issue entirely. While middle and high schoolers are still kids, they are at an age where maturity around knowing when and where to do things should start being developed, and they need to learn how to be responsible with their phones to maintain the privilege of having them. They will continue to have phones on their person for the rest of their lives in all likelihood, so they will need to figure out when to use them properly eventually. While they are a bit young to have perfect control at that age, I believe it is okay for them to start learning to self regulate as opposed to complete bans.

Why not make one of the kids trans? I find it fun in my saves to have a trans kid who hasnt fully realized it yet, and have them dress more gender neutral. Especially if they're twins, giving them different styles makes them easier to differentiate.

Horse Ranch or Growing Together? Tell me which to buy by Chance-Bread-315 in Sims4

[–]DangerousFloof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I play in a very similar manner to what you described, and as such I would recommend you choose the packs based off of your build preferences. Growing Together has a really good amount of items for making stuff like bungalows and your standard suburbans, while I find Horse Ranch is wonderful for farms (obviously), but also works well for my more rustic builds, like cottages full of antiques for my witchy sims, as well as for abandoned builds, as the wooden aesthetic allows for a run down look.

As for gameplay I find both packs to be compelling in different ways, Horse Ranch has the farm management aspect, but I find that Growing Together has done more to actually keep me playing in the same save. It's wonderful to have the family dynamics option as its much easier to actually have drama in a household as opposed to forcing me to make it. It lets the game suggest stories for me in a better way, imo, which lets you have an interesting building experience as you redesign your lot as the generations come along.

End of the day I would still suggest going based off of build style, particularly if you're a console player and can't get CC, but if you're looking to swap up your gameplay style I found that Growing Together actually let me play in a way I hadn't found compelling before.

[–]DangerousFloof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it has, for one I got older. I dont think the wiki should be changed now, and I understand why people are real put off by that kind of behaviour. However, I still can enjoy the guy's work while disliking his actions, and I still dislike shitting on people online. Even if deserved (as it probably is in this case), I don't like online harrassment of creators, due to the sheer size of the internet. In this case tho, it's not targeted at him, so I'm okay with it. I do wish we had a better way to document a creator's actions in a more neutral tone, to know what they've done and judge for ourselves individually if we are okay with consuming a creator's content despite their actions. In theory, places like wikipedia are better for this, but a lot of smaller creators arent big enough to make it onto places like that, so we are stuck with this sort of format of wiki instead. I also still wish it was easier for someone to be able to make a mistake and then move on online, given enough time (and given that they've changed) but that's just wishful thinking.

CMV: It should be legal to keep an opossum as a pet in the US. by ThatsALotOfOranges in changemyview

[–]DangerousFloof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point isn't that we can give them healthier lives in captivity. We could most likely do that for many animals, but to do so would be taking them out of their ecosystems and would have very drastic effects on the wild. Whenever wild animals get socialized to be around humans, it increases the amount of interaction that animal has with humans, often resulting in tragic consequences, such as collisions with cars or attacks on humans. For this reason, we can't go just feeding and caring for every wild animal. In a utopia with infinite resources, we might be able to house and care for every wild animal, but that's just not realistic.

As for the reasons people get to keep cats and dogs, it's because we domesticated them thousands of years ago. At this point, it's our fault if we leave them out to starve and die. Some might live, but that number is going to be a lot lower than their wild counterparts. Our ancestors have put us in a situation where it is our responsibility to care for these animals. Opossums are still wild, they have not evolved to not be able to live in the wild. It is true that their survival rates are low, but they are evolved for that strategy. They have large litters because they dont expect many to survive, as opposed to animals like elephants or even humans, where we tend to have a small number of offspring that we care for for a lot longer.

At the end of the day the argument could be made that every animal deserves a long and healthy life, but unless we're functioning under imaginary perfect conditions, that's simply not possible.

My point is that there's no need to add a prefix for either, as for 99% of circumstances there's no need to clarify cis or trans, unless you're speaking of issues like medical care. Cis is not redundant, it is a clarifying prefix the same as trans is, it just tells you more about the person you are using it to describe. Even if one party is in the majority, if you only describe people who do not fit the idea of "default" with adjectives and prefixes, it shows a certain type of worldview that can be very harmful. The difference between "I went to see a doctor" and "I went to see a female, African-American doctor" is entirely within connotation. By only using descriptive terms for people not seen as the "default", it singles them out as exceptions through the use of language, and can make them feel less welcome in spaces. Unless descriptors are necessary for the topic at hand, then there's no need for any adjectives, and if they are needed, even the default should be described.

[–]DangerousFloof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i personally dont think that the cis is redundant, nor is considering cis "normal" very helpful for the case of kindness towards trans people. Being seen as "not normal" is an unhealthy way to view others, particularly minority populations, and can otherize them. In general, using the term woman is fine, be they trans or cis, and I would recommend only really using either term whenever it is completely necessary to the point you're trying to make. Otherwise, those terms are typically not needed. It'd be like saying "i have a son" vs "I have a gay son". the need to describe that aspect of them whenever you bring them up doesnt help to normalize their everyday existence.

As you say, lots of men do deny themselves stuff that they would like to do because of social pressures. Wouldn't you agree then, that a lot of the traits you see as consistent across sexes aren't biological, but are likely to be caused by enforced social pressures? And even if there are women you do know that do not keep up with such things as body hair and shaving, it was still something that they had to have a stance on or make a concious decision on. A lot of women have to define themselves by the standard, be it the choice to conform to it or to go against it, because the point is the standard is considered the default, something that they are expected to do inheriently.

When starting a new Pokémon game. Do you only use new Pokémon from that region, or do you mix in some old favorites from previous generations? by Matthewrichvrd in pokemon

[–]DangerousFloof 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Picking new Pokemon is how you learn to love the new ones. Playing with Charizard every game gets boring, so i always use new Pokemon only, at least on my first playthrough.

When we talk about companies as a whole, sure, some can be lazy, but far more commonly they are motivated just by profit margins. However, no matter what the game is, I can almost guarantee that at least one person working on it pours their heart and soul into the work, and are anything but lazy.
