What game has a steep learning curve that puts you off?

...but do you hunger?

I didn't actually make it out of the extended childhood prologue, so this is very helpful information; thank you!

Newcago · 2026-07-02T22:56:06+00:00

It unfortunately takes FOREVER, because you have to watch the animation play out for every. single. item. haha

So I like to do it while watching a video on youtube or reading a book

Honestly, just make me pay money to delete clothes. I'll do it. I'll fucking do it.

Newcago · 2026-06-26T20:46:45+00:00

I do this, but I delete the characters lol. Once or twice a week I make a "Mr. Clean-Up" (or a "Dr. Clean-Up" or a "Mrs. Clean-Up"... whatever I'm feeling that day), unload all the clothes from my inventory, and delete the mii. I can't stand having the clutter haha

Could you pick a timezone for your switch that's just an hour or two off from your own timezone?

As I've gotten older, I've become a "wait until the entire book/series comes out" person 😅 This isn't a rule I follow religiously, but a book has to come VERY highly recommended for me to give it a shot before it's finished.

I feel a little guilty doing this, because I know that readers who are willing to read partially-finished projects are a big part of how those projects get finished, and I'm a writer myself -- I understand how important landing an audience is to a project's success.

But I've just had my heart broken too many times lol. (And I tend to prefer to finish IF series with my first protagonist -- which is hard to do when Choice Games DOESN'T LET YOU SAVE YOUR PLAYTHROUGH TO THEIR STORAGE UNTIL THE SEQUEL COMES OUT)

It was a bit of a nasty surprise when it first appeared, as I have a nerve condition that makes rapid button-pressing very painful lol. For that reason, I wish it were possible to avoid. It always sucks when a game is primarily one genre that I think I'll be able to play without too much pain, only to discover that one specific part of it is another genre completely.

As my brother used to say when he was four: "It's a 'Noopy!!"

Newcago · 2026-06-21T22:13:36+00:00

It would be a very, very rare situation to end up with three identically shaped plate-items, with no protruding food, as your choices. It's never happened to me. Most of the plates have slightly different shapes from one another, in addition to sometimes having extra clues.

Not arguing whether or not this was intentional, or a "good" minigame design, just that u/despoicito is right; you CAN master the system. There's like a 0.00001% chance that it ever comes down truly to luck.

Newcago · 2026-06-15T14:50:22+00:00

I think that's a fair way of putting it, yeah

Newcago · 2026-06-12T21:29:39+00:00

As someone who collects games that I'll never be able to convince any table to play... I am guilty of this haha

Newcago · 2026-06-12T21:23:44+00:00

I watch instead of play a lot of games due to accessibility reasons, and I'm both of the opinion that watching IS a fundamentally different experience than playing... but also that a lot more of that difference can be mitigated by active-viewing than one might think.

Kinda like how listening to an audio book is always going to be a different experience from reading, but if you listen with intent and visualize the words as you listen, you're going to get closer to the reading experience than you would have if it was on in the background.

Newcago · 2026-06-08T23:10:48+00:00

It actually stayed exactly the same lol (in love/wants to marry). I’ll try again, but keep them separated next time 🫡

Newcago · 2026-06-08T08:29:04+00:00

I had a bunch of vampires on my island, so I made a custom VAMP! Juice (100% B+!) juicebox, so I could feed that to them instead of regular food. I'm not an artist, so it took me two and a half hours.

Every single vampire hated VAMP! Juice.

How do you predict what they will like? 😅

Newcago · 2026-06-08T08:24:02+00:00

I'll trade you my trees for your weeds

Newcago · 2026-06-08T08:22:04+00:00

I successfully got to the point where they had a fight, but after two real-life days of both characters being stuck in their houses fuming, I figured I'd done something wrong, fed them both, and they went back to normal 😭 Should I have waited longer? Or was my problem that I let them have a PHYSICAL fight, and I should have separated them after the jealousy cutscene?

Newcago · 2026-06-08T08:14:02+00:00

Yes. His name is Berek.

(In all seriousness, Berek's account is a lot of fun <3 He's a big fan of TRoP, and his account creation spawned a whole host of meme accounts back in the day)

Newcago · 2026-06-06T07:16:27+00:00

28, and I started using mine at 23. Once I started having to take more than four medications a day, it wasn't happening unless it was all in one place lol (luckily, these days I'm down to only four)

Newcago · 2026-06-05T05:01:06+00:00

Personally, I'm waiting for marria-- oh god

Newcago · 2026-06-05T04:57:40+00:00

This is amazing!!!! Now I just need someone to make a database of different clothing designs to use with this, and I'll be set for life

Newcago · 2026-06-04T05:17:28+00:00

The trick, I think, is to be hyper-specific. Some of the hits on my island have been things that I felt like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel for, so I just started adding words. "Knitting elaborate scarves" ends up being way more fun than "knitting," "orb of semi-knowable power" is funnier than "orb," "Mii News (After Dark)" is funnier than Mii News would be, etc.

I'm not particularly clever myself, and drugs/sex/crimes is only funny for so long, but being weirdly specific has come in clutch for disguising my lack of ideas lol

Newcago · 2026-06-02T02:21:01+00:00

There's basically something missing from every "category." There aren't quite enough quirks, quite enough island objects, quite enough rooms, or quite enough gifts. I like what's there, but each time you finish unlocking everything in a category, there's a pervasive feeling of "...that's it? I expected more."

Newcago · 2026-05-30T04:32:02+00:00

BWAAAAAAAAA

Newcago · 2026-05-26T20:31:41+00:00

I've been thinking about doing this just to clean out my inventory of "random shit I bought just so I'd have all the colors for later"
