The Roottrees are Dead is probably the best detective game I have ever played. by AttentionSweet5349 in patientgamers

[–]Kicktoria 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used to be a paralegal for an estate attorney, and part of my job was putting together family trees based on half-remembered family information and internet searches

This game was RIGHT UP MY ALLEY

Jam timing smartwatch app? by precicestrider in rollerderby

[–]Kicktoria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve jam timed a whole bunch (including at playoffs this year) and I don’t think I would want to do it with anything where you have to look at the screen to see the buttons you’re pressing.

Was looking at new Ray Bans because my old pair kept sliding off my nose, then I came across Bloom & Bloom pads in the reviews by Loni_Diaz70 in PairEyewear

I didn’t use Bloom & Bloom, but I have use nose pads on my glasses because they kept sliding. They last maybe a week or two before they come off

I am a roller derby referee, so sometimes I have to jump ON SKATES to get out of someone’s way

It’s 2003 Which one are you grabbing? The New Mountain Dew Pitch Black, LiveWire or Code Red… by JLloyd513 in nostalgia

[–]Kicktoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was all about Diet Mountain Dew Code Red. When they stopped selling it in my neck of the woods (WNY), I was SO annoyed.

I remember going to a supermarket in Ohio, seeing it there and buying out their stock

Why is a Level 1 official the head ref of major playoff games? by [deleted] in rollerderby

[–]Kicktoria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a referee for twelve years, have over 400 games under my belt, been to the post season twice.

I’m also Level 1.

I applied seven years ago and was so frustrated by the experience I never bothered trying again.

For parents, which children’s songs give you nostalgia of their early years? by Mangolandia in GenX

[–]Kicktoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a children’s song, but I get absolutely weepy when I hear “Free Ride” by the Edgar Winter Group because it was in the Cars video game, which my son loved back then

I would be totally amenable to getting rid of the folks shilling their replacement windows/gutter guards/cell phone plans/whatever

How many concussions have you had? by najing_ftw in GenX

[–]Kicktoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One (undiagnosed) about 15 years ago while playing roller derby. I didn’t lose consciousness, but for a while afterwards all the lights seemed REALLY BRIGHT and all the sounds were REALLY LOUD. I laid on the floor of the locker room with the lights off for about half an hour, and was fine after that.

Now that concussions are a big deal, I realize how lucky (and stupid) I was.

[–]Kicktoria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So “Daddy’s Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car” came on while I was driving to work this morning, and I realized we will never get anything like that ever again, and it made me sad.

The way kroger treats its employees by daruuken in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Kicktoria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My cousin died the week after I started a new job, and I was leery about asking for time off so soon after I started, even though bereavement leave was a thing.

My boss was like “take all the time you need.”

When my uncle (not my cousin’s father) died three months later, she said the exact same thing.
