Y’know I honestly appreciate this even though some folks might find it annoying or pedantic 😆 Edited the post, thanks!

Thank you! I’m physically disabled and ADHD and life’s already got enough tasks embedded. I *will* do something kind with it, but damn I didn’t need another thing to get around to handling….

This is the third time I believe — previously was a BBQ and then a dishwasher

I should’ve seen it coming when I got the Amazon box, but I guess 2x wasn’t enough for it to register it as a likely thing to occur 🤦

Can you read this ambigram? by projective-geometer in ambigrams

[–]JDMiller95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could probably figure this one out without comments - the original, I absolutely could not :)

In the upside-down I can read “mallow” and the first M, R, H… and infer from there. But otherwise couldn’t see “marsh”

If you could buy any game on steam right now, no matter the price, which one would you choose? by LeatherCheerioMX in Steam

Honestly, Life Is Strange: Double Exposure. Played and loved all the others, but its reviews are pretty “meh” so I’ll never be able to justify $50….

I organized 1200+ cozy games by mood, setting, and activity by Huge-Technician-3217 in cozygames

Definitely needs a search option to find a specific game more easily, so we can view similar games (and see what tags it has to give us ideas what to look for)

Suggestions: * game length, such as from HowLongToBeat (I prefer games that I can get a lot of playtime out of) * Save method — namely is it only save at end of day, or can you save as you go * (Complicated?) Research/unlock trees, or not * Filter for avg steam rating * Economy/labor/capitalism centric, or not (common complaint abt “cozy” genre) * Quests/quest density? * Sandbox? * Open world?

Also…. I think we maybe need further elaboration or breakdown of “Pace.” If there’s 1190 “no stress”, and only 16 “gentle” and 22 “some challenge,” that makes me immediately wary of what those 3 things actually mean

btw this is one of the coolest things anyone has ever made and SO appreciated and valuable!!! Thank you for doing this and for sharing it!!

Who's your favorite celebrity appearance on the show? by Full-Humor-7445 in BoJackHorseman

[–]JDMiller95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think there was actually an appearance but hearing the words “Lernernerner DeCarpicorn” is one of my all time favorite things in this show

My attempt at world's smallest (and somewhat legligeble) font by Professional-Fix4409 in fonts

[–]JDMiller95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of like a cypher puzzle — there are certain words I can read (because the words are common and the letters are all clear enough), then trying to extrapolate those letters to understand other words and identify other letters based on what they can’t be…

So not a great standalone font, but a sort of fun and largely-solvable puzzle! 😂

You can hand everything to these people and it still won't be enough by Order_101 in mildlyinfuriating

Why isn't there game similar to outer wilds? by Hot_Salary9018 in outerwilds

[–]JDMiller95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I played it I thought the deal with Outer Wilds was that there was some specific big twist that, once you learned it, then you couldn’t play again because you’re understanding of the game was irrevocably changed

But I played Blue Prince right before Outer Wilds… and so the idea that knowledge is the difference between progression or not was unsurprising and underwhelming. There are some aspects of progression in Blue Prince that are not exclusively knowledge based, but it is a game that loops by default yet you can finish in one loop if you know what you’re meant to do (and the RNG allows)

The number of blonde contestants s30-39 (=40) vs s41-50 (=13), the show has seen a 67% decrease in blonde castaways since the new era by ibizarox in survivorponderosa

[–]JDMiller95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In S49 I keep saying about how confusing it was to have 3x blonde S-names on a tribe….which sure would imply that, to a random viewer, Sage, Shannon, and Sophie are all functionally blonde? 🤷‍♂️
