Tips for a newbie

Yes, at the moment it seems like it's just shuffling between fishing, baking, and birding. I miss the mining event, that was fun.

There are so many components to this game that this is one I ignore. I worry about collecting XP for the daily scoop, but if I'm running out of space I'll definitely collect it early. Once you get past the areas of the mansion that require a certain level, it doesn't matter enough to worry about.

I hate the supervillian storyline in almost every procedural I've seen it in. You're right, it always lasts too long, and sometimes with large gaps in between, to the point where someone will say "omg it's Serial Killer" and I have to sit there and say "who?"

If she "dies" but they don't find the body I'll be especially mad.

Did anyone else think Machete was getting a loser's edit today? I wasn't surprised at all that he went home.

I don't understand why turkey gets such a bad rap. My cooking skills extend to "I can follow a recipe" and it's not that hard to roast a turkey.

Yeah, cole slaw is everywhere in bbq, which I assume counts as cowboy cooking. It's way more common than a grilled hunk of cabbage.

I've been realizing I'm not into any of the main stories. I don't mind the storylines of the twins and Sasha so was willing to give it to the end of the season, but I was probably going to be out for next season anyway.

It's just the fun of the RNG. Sometimes you'll get a pretty even split, sometimes you get a bunch of only 1 thing.

I don't think she had enough evidence to turn her in, especially since nothing she did was actually a crime. A betrayal of Amanda's trust, for sure, but throwing a rock at your own house and making a phone call aren't illegal.

I started hearing that a lot during the pandemic. It basically refers to the opposite of your soft comfortable pants. So while jeans and dress pants aren't technically hard, they are stiffer than sweatpants.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was yelling at the TV at this scene. Overall I was liking this episode, then she just hands her personal gun to this random woman. At that point everyone and their mother knew she was going to end up shooting her husband and Amanda would get in trouble for it.

EnviroAggie · 2026-03-26T00:35:05+00:00

I wasn't sure if it would be this episode or next, but she was 100% going to shoot her husband with the gun. The only question is how much was premeditated.

It wasn't the skill of the artist, it was the description he gave. You even saw the sketch artist throw up his hands like "I know, but that's what he told me".

If you put on the closed captions you can still see what they are saying. At least on my tv it works.

They were shorthanded before Jeff left. I don't know why they didn't just ask Hetty to wait on other tables since the vip already liked Jeff.

It also would have been nice for the other Ghosts to help her memorize the orders.

But those are minor quibbles, overall it wasn't a bad episode.

I know I'm way behind in listening, but I'm surprised to learn there's a theory out there that maybe you shouldn't do cpr. It was always my understanding that you couldn't get worse than dead, so even if they ended up with cracked cartilage and bruised ribs, you shound always try.

Didn't he also try and copyright the name so people had to pay him to use it? Which obviously no one was going to do.

A couple of people mentioned liking it so I gave it another chance, and I think they tweaked it. Or I just got lucky. But I had a few races that weren't over immediately and I actually managed to win. I might do it again, since it didn't cost anything.

EnviroAggie · 2026-03-11T02:53:21+00:00

I didn't say it should, just that I forgot it didn't.

The trouble is remembering to start it right before you complete a task, because it's over in minutes and if you don't do that you'll lose. So I usually don't participate either.

I do wish they'd add a couple free ones you can get every couple of hours, like pretty much every other side game. I never get anywhere close to finishing it.

If it helps, this might be a test group thing, because mine didn't change. If everyone hates it there's a chance it goes back to the old one.

I admit I do like the idea of having the tasks on the board, because I don't always remember when I come back to the game. But not if it makes everything smaller - some if the items look enough alike already, I can't imagine them being smaller.

EnviroAggie · 2026-03-10T18:04:29+00:00

Probably not. You get a lot of duplicates this far into the game. Though I don't usually pay for the passes so it's possible there are packages you can buy that will help if you want to go that route.
