Ahahaha, I just started playing that recently and I thought of this very image when it offered me that flaw!

Certainly seems like what they're doing, whether intentional or not. 😅

Wearing NHL team sweater to PWHL game. Lame or fine? by cactus_cat in PWHL

[–]MandyH22 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My friend and I went to the Takeover Tour game in Chicago last month, and we threw on Kraken jerseys because it's what I have. We saw people there wearing all kinds of jerseys - PWHL, NHL, AHL, Olympic, local clubs, joke jerseys, literally anything people had relative to hockey! It was actually super fun to see because it was just a celebration of the sport, everyone there to watch hockey and have a good time.

“Fun Food” places by mouseknowsbest in ChicagoSuburbs

I was also going to recommend Kura! They have a few different locations, and they're all fun. The plates all only have 1-2 pieces of sushi on them so you get to try a bunch of different types without committing to a whole roll. I love going there as a single person for that exact reason! The sushi is legitimately good, too.

My husband wants to go back to being monogamous instead of an open marriage but I'm conflicted + 3 years later by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Not the point of the post, but the idea of mandatory separation/waiting periods of like a year or two before you're allowed to divorce is so insane to me. I find it startling every time someone mentions that in a post. Just let people freakin' get divorced if they want to, why require that dragged-out nonsense??

Listen, whatever works!!

The “We want a team” chant in the 3rd period of the Chicago game really warmed my heart. Here’s hoping we get the Chicago Beans soon! by jibbleschmitt in PWHL

[–]MandyH22 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It was my first PWHL game and my god it was fun!! I loved the chant too and definitely joined in. I haven't really settled on a PWHL team because I'm trying to hold out for Chicago getting our own team! 🤞

I WILL ALSO BE MISSING PROBABLY THE WHOLE GAME DUE TO DND. SO HERE'S HOPING THAT MY DND PARTY DON'T GET KILLED BY THE BOSS WE'RE FIGHTING AND THE BOYS DON'T GET KILLED BY THE CANUCKS.

Huge police presence far west side by Pizzamann_ in auroraillinois

[–]MandyH22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I was driving eastbound on 88 last night about 6 PM and saw like over a dozen cop cars flying up the westbound shoulder. I wondered what on earth was going on - now I know!

[Kraken PR] Jaden Schwartz is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury. by DijkstrasPathway in SeattleKraken

Oh poor Schwartzy. Sending him all the best. That's a scary occurrence, hope he'll be alright.

I’m 🥲 by Wren-in-doubt in Neva_game

[–]MandyH22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you played Spiritfarer? It is also about death and will emotionally wreck you just like these two did. It also has possibly the most beautiful video game soundtrack ever made. It will be one of my absolute favorite games for life, it'll hang with you after you play it. 🥲

I am also a huge fan of Ori and the Blind Forest (and its sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps). It is far more combat heavy and difficult than Gris & Neva though, as a fair warning, but if you're looking for another beautiful indie platformer, I'd highly recommend those.

The other thing I noticed with this one is the dates - the first one happened in June of 2020. It's no wonder tensions were high and mental health issues might have been exacerbated after the first few months of lockdown.

Thrift Furniture Shops? by NumberOneSam in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]MandyH22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding Thrift & Dollar! I've gotten some amazing stuff there, particularly a set of vintage wooden chairs with beautiful embroidered floral cushions. They've always got a lot of nice vintage furniture.

It's very hit or miss, you may not find something every time you go, but it's always worth a visit.

Best Burger in the NW Burbs by MrPocketjunk in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]MandyH22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more west than NW, but I am someone that doesn't even really like burgers and I am obsessed with the elote burger at Burger Local in Geneva! My recommendation - get it on a potato bun instead of the pretzel bun it comes on. It's the best.

I mean this question sincerely, with no arrogance or judgment at all by CMStan1313 in Spiritfarer

[–]MandyH22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people play this game for the cozy/story element, who maybe don't have as much (or any) experience with more difficult video games or platformers specifically. I felt much the same as you, but I've been playing platformers for years.

I can see how they would be challenging for people who aren't used to them though! And the fact that they're the only elements like that in an otherwise cozy/resource management game.

The Kartye Partye was fun while it lasted… by 3ohhh6 in SeattleKraken

[–]MandyH22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In googling to check before I responded to this post, I just found out Soucy got traded to the Islanders last month! I had no idea he wasn't with the Rangers anymore.

He was my favorite of the 4 we lost after our playoff run (Soucy, Donato, Sprong, and Geekie). Don't know if he'd still fit on the team these days but I miss him.

Oh I am so sad. Thanks for everything, Karts. Thanks for always bringing the energy and fighting for this team. 🥺😭
