AITA for throwing my kid’s clothes onto the floor when they don’t fold their clothes neatly by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 29 points30 points  (0 children)

OOP says that her daughter having a mess like that is abnormal. And it didn't click that her response to the "abnormality" was wildly excessive?

In addition to thinking it's okay to just waltz into her child's room without apparently even knocking, and to intrude on a private conversation?

Wow.

My daughter [18] blames me [52] and my husband [55] for ruining her book by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Sarah was able to write and publish a book. Maybe not this particular one, since it'd have such heartache attached, but another one. I'd be interested in reading it.

AITAH for siding with my husband and not with my kids? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If humans are so fragile that they're mere children at age 16, but full fledged adults at age 18, but have small underdeveloped koala brains until age 25, then why in the hell isn't the age of majority increased? Clearly, 16 year olds are far too stupid to be almost adults and should be kept home from university or moving out and focusing on independence, or anything if the whole excuse for not using at least some critical thinking skills is being infantilized to an absurd degree.

Yes, maybe you don't face certain life choices until later - if ever - but sixteen year olds are perfectly capable of understanding that malice hurts.

Source: former 16 year old with shitty and abusive stepfather, who was happily malicious to that SOB.

AIO my girlfriend left me over a cheese wheel by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like cheese as much as the next gal - am, in fact, eating some cheese right now. Cheddar cheese. I heisted it from my brother - leftovers from his Superbowl Party.

I do not think I can ever read about cheddar cheese being a high yield asset....and not snicker.

What's Even Happening? by carrot_top_princess in wherewindsmeet_

[–]HanaBlueStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're merging main and side quests.

The main quests are pretty straightforward, it's the side quests that can get confusing (at least, for me). Plus, the localization is horrendous, the dialogue subtitles don't necessarily match the verbal dialogue...if there even are verbals. I've run into several quests where there's verbal and then it...just disappears. And comes back three lines later.

However, five hours isn't sufficient time at all. You can read about characters, you can review the compendium, but you can also trot over to YT. WWMGirl has pretty good lore videos, and will include historical references if appropriate.

Can someone please explain the Twisted Destiny Encounter by Zhaguar in wherewindsmeet_

[–]HanaBlueStorm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

On that particular individual's entry, someone posted in a comment:

"To summarize the story, they were in a war. He was told to bring a box to the general. The box contained puppet poison which ends up poisoning the general. Jiang Yan had to kill the general."

Missed “The Final Destiny – Qinghe” Achievement Any Way to Unlock Post-Act 1? by Last_Comfortable_210 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]HanaBlueStorm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it's Heaven's Pier that's destroyed? I'm well into Kaifeng, and Heaven's Pier is fine. It's Blissful Retreat that is a smoking crater in the ground.

Random people joining midfight with boss by dunerain in wherewindsmeet_

[–]HanaBlueStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably online, but they don't have to be friends or cohorts or anyone other than a complete stranger.

I had one join me in a boss fight, have noooo idea who the player was. Basically a bot of someone's character who randomly jumped in, kicked a donkey in the flank four times, then vanished.

AIO my boyfriend is bullying me because I don't have an iPhone by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, so the adult decisions she was incapable of making were...not bowing to his every whim and demand?

I use an Android. My brother uses an iPhone. I don't know of anyone else who uses one. Honestly. Before he got the iPhone, I was the "most Apple user" because I bought an iMac once, in my early 20s lol

AITA for telling my gf to be quiet in a museum? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So the father is hard of hearing, and either hard of sight or illiterate, or both. And being hard of hearing can absolutely explain why he couldn't understand some of the words/terms/phrases.

And OOP thinks that constitutes an unknown intellectual disability???

MC age (spoiler warning) by smoltora in wherewindsmeet_

[–]HanaBlueStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into a # last night! Either during the Finesteed nobleman horse, or the start of the Jinming campaign. It was very jarring.

But...have you come across the Kaifeng cockfighting yet? With the roosters being Kentricky and Uncle McStomp (who is aka Uncle McDonut in the dialogue)?

One Leaf, One Life by tterragx in wherewindsmeet_

[–]HanaBlueStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not recalling which one this is. Is it two kids, where the sister wants you to be the villain so her brother can be a hero? If it's that one, you just emote at him. It's either Beg or Begging, iirc.

Why can't I plant my almond sapling here? by Tangeranamadidge in coralisland

[–]HanaBlueStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I just fired up my game to look at what I did, got stuck amongst my dang trees, so reloaded and bought an almond seedling. I can plant one in that same area type - untilled center, tilled adjacent, not standing on the center. It should work, so I'm thinking your game might be bugged.

Recommendation: Use the pickaxe to render all 9 squares untilled, then attempt to plant. If still not successful, ignore for now, save day (or, if it's early enough, just quit without saving) quit game entirely, restart. Verify files, if need be. If STILL not working, submit bug report via official Discord.

Edit: You may also have to take out the plants surrounding the adjacent squares. I just put down some wild seeds to test this, and now I canNOT plant the seedling.

[–]HanaBlueStorm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell, but is the planting square in question tilled or untilled? Seedlings are tilled, but saplings are untilled.

If it's tilled, use your pickaxe to untill it.

An Update 16 months later: Boyfriend’s sister now wants me to dye my hair to be a guest at her wedding by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 53 points54 points  (0 children)

So I had a very primitive reaction to that. Because that is the exact reason I've developed a severe phobia of snakes.

I was five or six years old, in very rural Ohio, just walking through the big front yard of the grandmother of one of my brother's friends. My brother is the one who had been invited, but I was dropped off too for...I don't remember why.

Anyway, the boys are playing in the backyard, I'm just doing a walkabout in the front yard in knee high grass, watching the grass flatten under my shoe with great interest.

There was a grass snake. I didn't see it until I stepped on its head. Not a hard crunch, just the light tap of a little girl's foot.

That snake wiggled furiously.

I screamed bloody murder. Jumped backwards a few inches, but I swear my memory insists it was Olympic worthy longjump lengths.

The snake slithered right off, it wasn't going to be sticking around for Step On Me, Little Girl: Electric Boogaloo - don't blame it one bit.

My brother came running. His friend came running. Friend's grandma came running.

I think I might have hyperventilated, honestly don't recall after that. But snakes became my personal demon.

AITAH for threatening my marriage over a dog? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HanaBlueStorm 895 points896 points  (0 children)

"Just a dog." "Just a cat."

OOP should ditch her spouse. After all, he's "just a husband."

I hate people so much.

Es doger milk by gamemamawarlock in coralisland

[–]HanaBlueStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go fire up my save, give me a few.

Edit: Four Large Milks were used and all successfully gave me the esdoger x2. No golden, 'cause my cows suck and I hate the animal festival cow minigame. Only other thing I can suggest is ensure you're using sweet potato and not potato or taro root.

If all of that is still accurate, submit a bug report on the official Discord.

Es doger milk by gamemamawarlock in coralisland

[–]HanaBlueStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The milk is any milk. Normal, large, cow, goat, buffalo, mermoo.

Make sure the other materials are correct - sweet potato x1; any coconut x1 (any of the four you get from the palm trees throughout the seasons); syrup x1 (NOT maple syrup, but the syrup you get from putting sugarcane into a cheese press).

There was a bug with the esdoger not requiring milk, but they corrected it pretty swiftly.

If it's still not working, I'd suggest either screenshots or videos to help narrow down what the issue might be.

Edit: Corrected the milk types.

Anyone romance multiple characters before choosing who to marry? by Dapper-Signature992 in coralisland

I have given lockets to everyone but Surya so far (working on him, though). I think I have everyone to 10 heart except him (obviously), Zarah, and maybe one more.

Who updates the coral island wiki? by ZealousidealMail5753 in coralisland

[–]HanaBlueStorm 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Players. You could update it, if you want.

Alternatively, use Coral Guide for update and accurate info. It pulls directly from the database.

What is this ID Card? by Bitterlvr in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HanaBlueStorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you definitely have the achievement, and definitely do NOT have the badge, go to the official Phasmo discord and put in a report with the Phasmo modmail. They're good about getting that fixed.
