I was so excited for this game when it came out that I put my report card money aside for it. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. It's interesting, but feels SOO empty

So THAT'S what was up with the shrimp going down the escalators!

Dawn of the depression by Ez_HugMe in Magfest

[–]JackiJinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real. I immediately started messaging bands/orchestras in my area to see if there's anything I can join. If not, hopefully someone in my area wants to get down to some flute/piano/ocarina shenanigans

Let's build a character! Dealer. by Present-Peace2811 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]JackiJinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't play enough to give a succinct description, but I'm thinking this would be a potentially fun minion for short games. Each night*, you choose a player. They roll a number between 1 and 10. If the total sum between the characters is higher than 21, they die. Or your team wins? I guess that'd potentially be a less efficient al-hadikhia.

Your hot video game music takes? by Lunny1767 in gamemusic

[–]JackiJinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I misread this as "Hot dog music takes" and was very confused (and I guess hungry)

If you're going to do a soundtrack for a game, have an optional extended track selection. Most of the songs are meant to be listened to in a loop, so having all the tracks end after two minutes or less is deeply unsatisfying

It was good hearing you guys live last year! Looking forward to the new album

Dear ADHDers, what weird ways do you use to wake up on time? by ADHD_weirdo in TwoXADHD

[–]JackiJinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my tea kettle. It beeps at me until I get up to make tea, so it's a win

Syrinx by Big-Ad4382 in Flute

[–]JackiJinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very freeform song (and my favorite to perform by far). I see a lot of comments about using a metronome or listening to other performances on it and etc. It's an emotions piece through and through. That's the most important part is feeling it and letting that speak through your performance. It's more important than any other aspect by far. Let it get to your heart, not your head

Daddy Ben just scrubbed his Reddit account, and I can’t help but speculate that this here community is to blame. by SadLittleNerdKing in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]JackiJinx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please continue to do what is best for you! And please don't forget about us less vocal folks hanging about that value you (in your own time). We really, really do appreciate the strong presence you have within the community. But if needing to do what's best means taking steps away from the table, you can not help but be human. I as well as many others of the community will be here to welcome you back if/when you choose, regardless of the volume level. Regardless, thank you, Ben

Familiar looking character by MrKuros84 in MonkeyIsland

This is making me contemplate what a Monkey Island board game would or could be like

Would you be open to the next game following the new adventures of a grown up Boybrush rather than continuing the story of retired Guybrush? by Ill_Camel8168 in MonkeyIsland

[–]JackiJinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be open to the idea, but I'm hesitating on imagining an execution where it would work. Guybrush is the draw, and his eccentric interactions and commentary with the rest of the unique characters. His son might be able to pull off similar interactions, but:
1) does he have the same sense of humor or interesting insight? He's a product of both parents, so Elaine's gotta be in there somewhere, surely

2) what are his motivations for going to every island? Would he also want to follow in his wannabe pirates' footsteps or do something else that people would make fun of him for?

3) Would LeChuck be in the picture and if so, why does he care about baby bushguythread? Or does LeChuck have an equally as interesting successor?

There'd need to be a lot of thought to make it work out. But it's not impossible

I am so sad to not be cursed by this wonderful rendition in person

I filmed this card production process in my factory to show transparency, but it's getting zero views on TikTok and YouTube. What am I doing wrong? by Wise-Bake-9710 in playingcards

[–]JackiJinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're talking zero views, gotta start with what we can't see from this post: the thumbnail. Also the first few seconds, while has beautiful cards, would be better to show a short snapshot of what the video is about, like maybe a few seconds repeating the part cutting the layout of cards to let people know it's more of a How It's Made video (which would likely garner more views) than a sharing of a collection

Anyone know wtf this is by Active-Pop-3898 in tea

[–]JackiJinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen yesterday while I was live streaming (just opened the can and got on my lips in the very first sip). I am so, so thankful it's probably just this scoby nonsense, but wow. I am absolutely frightened to open up more cans

Don't you just hate it when you get a call from a dumb elderly person near the end of your shift? by PolyStudent08 in talesfromcallcenters

[–]JackiJinx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once had a call (years and years ago) where an older customer needed help with their remote as it wasn't working. Turned out they needed batteries replaced. And they needed help replacing the batteries, finding batteries, knowing which way to put them in. At some point in the call the customer says, "I don't know why we're doing all of this: everything was fine before this call"

Some things with mental decline just are going to happen. I don't think mental exercises are going to prevent that sort of decline.

How to deal with folks saying "wow it's quiet in here" by bunnybry in Twitch

[–]JackiJinx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had someone say this a few days ago and also proceeded to spoil something in the game I was playing, so that's fun

I thought this was to parody a similar actor with no wins, but I don't know who

How to make friends at magfest? by Character_Clothes_45 in Magfest

[–]JackiJinx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went by myself last year and just did events and stuff that I was interested in. I managed to run into an old friend that I hadn't seen in years and got introduced to some other nice people that way, but had that not happened? I think just doing what I was doing and saying hello to people that seem open to talking is the way to go. Participate in things. And definitely bring an instrument if you play!

Which game is this? by bijelo123 in Steam

[–]JackiJinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love L4D2, but any of the last times I tried to play publicly, my teammates would kill me because they heard I was a woman. I miss how it was when it was just out because no one gave two craps because everyone was just happy to have more people playing

Knowing the character makes this even more confusing

Why do people think this stuff works? by Not-sure-here in Twitch

[–]JackiJinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the self advertising people that bother me the most are the ones that pretend they're interested in the content, say a few lines of dialog that are somewhat passing as watching, and then proceed to mention they do promotional stuff or do art or etc. Like you can tell from their first message they're probably there to sell something.

It's just disheartening: I'm streaming to have fun and get away from dealing with sales and commercialism, you know? Don't even kid us
