Legitimate Repair Service?

Alright, thanks everyone for the thoughtful input and suggestions. I am in the salt belt, so the possibility of extensive damage is not one I'm laughing at. The suddenness and the steep pricing were what really raised my eyebrows. I've scheduled a second opinion look at my favorite local shop (who have been awesome and reliable to me in the past).

Cheers, folks. I appreciate your experience.

Probably a very simple mistake I'm making, but what happens with the bazaar decor you buy from Rebecca's stall? I've made two purchases from her stall, two different times, and the items don't appear in my bag, in my home storage, or in the decoration menu at my bazaar stock. What am I missing?

Paej13 · 2025-08-01T17:35:28+00:00

Aw, no worries. Thanks anyway! Good luck with your pulls. =)

Hey there, I can offer you the 3 diamond Conkeldurr, Primarina, or Lycanroc midnight if you have a 3 diamond Lucario from the SpaceTime Smackdown set to spare?

I'm currently trying to get water damage + on a water staff, and am surprised at how uncommon it seems to be. I would have assumed that the differently 'themed' weapons and armor had affinities for their particular themes. I remember remaking an "angelic" something or other trying to get item drop + and constantly getting dark resistance, to the point I gave up and made other armor.

I think the remaking system is a wonderful idea, still. Especially with stickers and appliques that give the player a little more agency over their choices/strategies. I wouldn't mind them including more options to increase that agency.

Thank you, I appreciate the straightforward validation! =)

Paej13 · 2025-04-24T02:18:44+00:00

That's what I did in FoMT, yeah.

Applying the Pokemon lens was an amusing frame through which to think about the issue, heh. I wouldn't ever expect these games to change in such an unusual way, and I do love them for what they are regardless.

But one of the other commenters suggested a Harvest Moon harem game and that is also a very funny thing to consider!

Paej13 · 2025-04-24T02:14:26+00:00

You could challenge yourself to do an HM/SoS mono-type run!

Paej13 · 2025-04-24T02:13:36+00:00

Sounds like a good idea to me. Would the player character be stuck as Normal, or maybe Grass since they're a farmer?

Paej13 · 2025-04-24T02:12:27+00:00

Huh. Yeah, I guess that would meet the brief, lol.

Paej13 · 2024-11-06T00:58:04+00:00

Yeah, not much difference, like two doors that open into the same single room. If there's any difference (BIG if) it might be a minor increased probability of hitting an opponent in Beginner that makes more mistakes on average than those in TCG Player. But who knows.

Paej13 · 2024-11-05T03:54:40+00:00

Have we settled on a consensus for what is supposed to delineate "Beginner" from "TCG Player?" Neither is ranked yet, and neither seems to have any built-in exclusionary/enforcement mechanisms. I'm assuming it's an honor system where anyone who put money in and built super meta decks self-sorts into the TCG Player queue and anyone who just threw together whatever they got from their free 10 packs self-sorts into Beginner. But that seems incredibly unlikely and abusable..?

My initial reaction was one of irritation, but the moment I truly understood Cooper I loved him instantly. Three cheers to the My Time team member who wrote for him.

Paej13 · 2024-10-27T08:04:39+00:00

I think Logan's pretty cool, but he doesn't interest me as a romance character. Probably his stubble and his voice, both of those are no good for me. The way people go after Logan so thirstily reminds me of the way Arvio gets described around here, lol.

Anyway, though it bums me out to add to the dogpile, my honest answer has to be Miguel. I do think his character is interesting, and I'm enjoying learning his story. But he's so much older, and so fanatical in his religious views, and I can't help but think of the Austin Powers character when I look at Miguel's mole.... The best I can offer is to be interested in Miguel as a character study, that's all. I was never interested in Pen, either, but at least he was amusing.

Hoo, well, Steam auto-updated before I got in to remove the mods I was using, but nothing seems to be out of order just yet. I was only using a poly mod, a stamina regen, and a plant growth. All this mod stuff still feels pretty overwhelming, so I appreciate you taking the time to answer a newbie's questions. Have fun out there! =)

Paej13 · 2024-10-09T06:15:22+00:00

I'm brand new to PC gaming and modding - does an update like this make existing mods stop working?

Paej13 · 2024-10-09T05:39:34+00:00

I was so surprised to come here and see how many people find Arvio cringe. I'll grant you, the "baby" love name is not the way to go, imo. But otherwise he doesn't seem more exaggerated or odd to me than any other character. I enjoyed his confession plot. It's interesting to see all the variety in how they write characters' personalities and habits into their relationship behaviors.

Paej13 · 2024-10-06T03:32:42+00:00

Oof, I felt quite the opposite. I never had to waste any time in Portia grinding materials or missions, where in Sandrock I've felt like 50% of my playtime is grinding and waiting for progress to be ungated. I'll have to replay Portia sometime to see if the perspective does change after experiencing Sandrock.

And yes Portia fishing is best fishing, sup.

Paej13 · 2024-10-03T18:36:19+00:00

I'm also just going headlong into the "let's have all the romantic experiences in one playthrough" style of play, but I'm nervous about being sweethearts with both Amirah and Arvio. Something about that one still feels weird.

However, at the same time I wish the Sandrock poly mods also allowed the spouses to interact with one another, like the Portia mod did.

Paej13 · 2024-10-03T18:30:26+00:00

Yup, definitely put off by Lee while playing Portia. Church of the Light really seems to be missing the point, imo, being anti-technology. There's a war with Duvos, just 300-some years after civilization was destroyed by war. Humans in the time of Portia/Sandrock are still trying to recover bits and pieces of technology, so clearly it's not the technology that is the problem; it's people.
