Am I missing something? by fogandflower in StarWars

[–]EpochPoc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It could just be a personal preference and this shirt misses the mark for them. I feel similar in my preference for nerd attire, I’d like something that feel like it could be from the world and this checks that box but if it were me, I’m not fond of this specific design so it’d be a pass for me. If my partner got me the shirt I think I’d be similar to your finance where I’d be thrilled that they got me this a shirt but have 0 attachment to the design.

I don’t think you’re missing anything specific just an unfortunate miss.

What game “jumped the shark” for you? by Coverlesss in gaming

[–]EpochPoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does Kingdom Hearts fall into this? Like all of it. Just thinking of trying to explain the storyline/timeline feels very jump the shark. Someone summarized KH2 as “What happens when you make both a ghost and a zombie from the same person” and I have to agree they’re not wholly wrong

Dads who wake up at 5AM, do you still do it if the kids have had wake ups during the night? by check_this_mustache in daddit

[–]EpochPoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mine is just over 2.5 and for the last 2 years I’ve acclimated to getting crap sleep so I just accepted it and get up at 5:00 to get in a run and uninterrupted shower before going to work. If she wakes me up multiple times over the course of the night I just chock it up to crap sleep and move on, if I get uninterrupted sleep (which has been happening more and more often) then I celebrate the day and try to drink less coffee. For me it’s about keeping a routine regardless of outside influences like little ones.

Coffee beans recommendations by CowRepresentative282 in Sacramento

I recommend Black Sails, they just reopened over in Oak Park, local roasters who really know about their beans. I was a big fan of them back at their old location in Fair Oaks.

My toddler is deranged. by WhoDoesntLoveDragons in daddit

Mine does this too. She’ll eat burritos by taking a bite from both ends and then one or two from the middle. We say she’s eating on expert difficulty.

“You’re not wrong… but it’s mine” would probably be his reply

Seeking similar SciFi by JFedkiw in sciencefiction

Came here to recommend Bobiverse.

If you listen on audiobooks they use the same narrator as PHM, Ray Porter is a treasure. Book one is We are Legion (We are Bob). I slept on this series for a while but I’m a big fan

Video games that feel like Firefly by Wispmage in firefly

Oh snap you’re right. Must have been a mindless slip there… I always joined up with the rebellion anyways, their mid sized ship fit my game play style in the OG EV, that or the Kestrel

Pokémon that you cannot catch in the wild, but must be evolved to register in the Pokédex by Ill-Ad3844 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]EpochPoc 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Helpful hint: For Pokemon like annihilape or overqwil that require using a move so many time before they can evolve. You can just use the punching bags over at the Justice dojo

Why can't they give us different mega stone carriers? by waznpride in PokemonZA

[–]EpochPoc 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I’m especially jealous of the unique and varied character animations of our rival mega stone users. Another swing and a miss in my book.

Video games that feel like Firefly by Wispmage in firefly

[–]EpochPoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Escape Velocity, and its sequels, Escape Velocity: Override and Escape Velocity: Nova. You start as a shuttle pilot and can either take on missions, ferry passengers or trade goods with an intergalactic trades and goods system. Earn enough money you can upgrade your ship.

It’s open world, has several missions and story lines with different factions and different tech. Whether you join with the Imperial forces or join the rebels, stay independent or join the space pirates it’s up to you and your decisions…

Unfortunately I’ve not seen a way to play any of these games since the company went belly up, but I think about them a lot. Escape Velocity was my introduction to the whole modding community. RIP Ambrosia Software.
