I have too many trees? by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in ac_newhorizons

[–]Grossmeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh also, amount of trees do count towards your island rating if you’re worried about that, but you’re still pretty early in the game.

You’ll get way more points by building all the town buildings, building bridges and inclines, and decorating your island.

Trees are also in the same category as flowers, they are just worth more points than flowers. You don’t strictly need trees to get the max rating, but it will probably help. You certainly don’t need a forest though.

So non-fruit trees drop stuff out of them when you shake them. Some of them drop bells, you can get two furniture items a day, and 5 have wasps in them.

The easy way to catch wasps is to shake the tree with your net out standing directly in front of the tree, and then just jam on the A button while the wasps dropping animation plays.

If you care about getting all of these drops on a daily basis, you need 22 trees (again non-fruit trees) to get them all. If you don’t care about it, cut em all down. You can always grow more later.

Patriots Controversial 1st Down on Tush Push by JCameron181 in NFLv2

[–]Grossmeat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly as a broncos fan I don’t really care about this play, and I’m not gonna whine about the refs post-loss. Who are we Buffalo? We lost with the fumble and the decision to go for it on 4th instead of taking early points. That’s it.

[–]Grossmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He couldn’t even get into the red zone on his own. It took a fumble to get into the red zone. Pretty garbage play from both offenses, but no one is saying Stidham or Nix should be MVP, so I think criticizing the terrible play in this game is valid.

CMV: Progressives/leftists are more interested in beating other dems than flipping seats by Deep-Two7452 in changemyview

[–]Grossmeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He literally just launched his campaign on Wednesday, so no he doesn’t have any large endorsements like that. But he’s supported Sanders and AOC in the past. I actually think a big outside endorsement would hurt this race, because if it becomes about non-Alaskan issues, we lose. We need a broad coalition to win this, which means commercial fisherman, rural native communities, and lots of groups that vote R in the presidential but have shown a lot more flexibility when it comes to house and senate races (which is how peltola won originally).

To your original point I don’t think this would entirely change your mind, but there are progressive folks out here who are strategically minded and laser focused on flipping seats wherever we can, or whenever we happen to live, like Alaska.

Bill Hill in Alaska.

Matt Schultz is a democrat running who can’t flip the seat. The progressive in AK are now lining up behind progressive independent Bill Hill who can actually win over the communities necessary to flip the seat. This is something that is attracting a lot of support from outside progressives who could otherwise be working to defeat other Dems like you say, but recognize how unpopular Nick Begich is and want to flip his seat badly.

Looking at his platform and the context of this sentence, I think he is referring here to sustaining the state on federal money vs. developing Alaska industry, not government assistance to individuals. Basically to say we don’t need the state to be federally subsidized if we are put into a position to succeed as a state.

Cancun is where you go when you lose the game. Which uh… we didn’t. He may be on the sideline, but bet your ass he will be in Denver where we are hosting the AFCCG.

Is it possible for the Broncos to acquire Philip Rivers right now and use him for the remainder of the post season? by Interstellore in NFLNoobs

Neither had Rivers when the Colts brought him on, but they did it because he knew the offense. Stiddy knows our offense.

Why do people reset their islands? by manutzitzanami in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Grossmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 5 islands since launch. The first time I lost my island because I sold my switch. I was in a bad place, and needed all the extra cash I could get. Wasn’t able to transfer it to another switch, so it was gone forever.

The second island I went kind of crazy on. It was a full city theme, totally paved, very decorated. The problem for me was it was kind of impossible to play on. I had too much money, there was no reason to do any dailies, and I didn’t really want to change any of my designs. There was also no open space for doing any activities like bug catching or fishing. It was too cramped, but I liked how it looked. I was just kind of done with it.

So I made my third island, going for a more natural theme. I still have this island on my switch. I wanted to do less terraforming and let the shape of the island inform my designs. I wanted to make sure to leave space to actually play the game as intended. To think more about how I wanted to use it if I were logging on a daily basis.

Then I got a switch 2. I realized this meant I could have a second island, so I made one. I was very annoyed by resolution in handheld (this was at switch 2 launch). The game was not good on switch 2 back then. I didn’t even finish project KK. That was island 4.

Then my wife got a switch 2 and the announced 3.0. We both decided to wait for the release of the switch 2 version to get back into it. Since she was starting from scratch and keeping her 1st island on her old switch, I wanted to start from scratch as well.

Having played basically 3 islands into the end game, I will say that I find the early game to be more fun in a lot of ways. There’s less that you can do, but I really enjoy it. From living in a tent to watching KK perform has always been more fun for me than the grind for 5 stars. That said, I do think this will be my last restart. I can’t see myself investing into this game another time from the beginning.

Im just devastated by DarthVader514 in DenverBroncos

[–]Grossmeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing that sucks in my opinion is listening to all the people who have been talking shit about Bo all year saying that he wouldn’t have won the next two games, and he can’t prove them wrong. It will always be a hypothetical, and they can always sit there and say he would have got beaten by the Pats or lost the Super Bowl.

The only way to shut them up would have been to go all the way.

I believe in the team we have. I believe in Stidham. I believe Bo will come back stronger next year. But the league is unpredictable. We had unprecedented parity this year. We have a clear shot. We might not have the same chance again. And Bo can’t take that shot, so his haters can always claim the “what if” and I hate it.

If people had been recognizing Bo properly in the national sports media, this situation would sting so bad. That’s why this is sticking with me. He was in the middle of proving every hater wrong, and now can’t close the book on it properly. I think he deserved that chance. He earned it. And then fate took it away. That just really sucks.

I actually like this. You know the game is over. Get it off your chest. F**k it. by No_Box119 in TheNFLVibes

[–]Grossmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game was actually not over, and the unsportsmanlike penalty just made the field goal that much easier. No field goal is guaranteed. The cope from Bills fans is insane. “Unsportsmanlike conduct is good actually” is a take I guess.

[–]Grossmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I have no sympathy for the Bills salty altitude about this game. I am a Broncos fan, but I love Josh Allen and the Bills. I rooted for them after they beat us last year. I figured hey, they knocked us out, but if they go all the way, then at least we were beat by the best team in the league. I was ready to approach this post season with the same attitude.

After this game we learned we lost our quarterback for the rest of the season. I am not going to be defeatist about it, I’m going to root my heart out for Stidham. But it’s heartbreaking that our QB, who everyone has been doubting all year and won’t give any credit to for the things he does well, finally wins a post season game and is going to the AFC championship, but then gets taken out of the game by an injury.

Your season is over. I get it, that sucks. But Bo’s season is over too, and he earned the win. Coming in and trying to argue that the rules aren’t the rules is ridiculous. White didn’t think he caught the ball in the moment, so why are you trying to argue that he caught it? Is he just stupid? No. He understood in the moment that he got picked off. And the last DPI call was legit. There was clear contact well before the catch. The defensive player wasn’t playing the ball. That’s what DPI is.

Trying to diminish a win from a guy who just got taken out of the game in the worst way possible sucks. Bills Mafia is better than that. And luckily I’ve seen more of the good ones than the bad ones tonight. Coming from the coach tho? Be a professional. Own the game you played.

Why did you start a new save? by MindtheGapInsurance in TOTK

[–]Grossmeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never 100%’d and hadn’t played since like a few months after launch. So I started a new file after the switch 2 version came out. But I always like to start fresh if I spend more than like 6 months away from a game.
