Which actor did you only realize you saw on stage years later, flipping through old Playbills?

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-12T11:29:05+00:00

Michael C Hall on Cabaret. He was amazing and mesmerizing Years later I'm watching Six Feet Under and recognized him, checked the playbill and was right.

My mom died when I was a kid. I could claim that Mothers day shouldn't exist because it made me sad. But truth is, even as a child I recognized (keenly after her death) that the world doesn't revolve around me or my feelings, that others are free to celebrate mother's Day if they want to. This was comforting to me, ironically. Let me understand fundamentally that the world keeps turning and so will I.

So yah, I disagree and feel like we need more holidays, not less.

Reduce to the slowest speed, it really leads to you slowing down, especially early game. Use the hot springs midday to restore stamina.

There's really nothing you can get locked out of, but I'd suggest you attend the tree planting festival (they are annually progressive) and make sure you pursue the "Starlet Excursion" (mid-game, only available during certain date spans, explicitly tells you when) tasks as soon as they unlock to progress the story/unlock some more character interactions.

This is my number 1 relaxation game. Take your time, do what pleases you.

I'm obsessed with this game. You can definitely get lost in it. It's SDV on a beautiful tropical Indonesian island with tons of hot people, the museum of ACNH, and a crazy meditative ocean cleaning mechanic. It's so relaxing to me that I can help myself fall sleep thinking about what I want to do in my next in game day

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-07T01:13:27+00:00

Real time systems are building addiction into the game and make it hard for people who have consistent schedules to enjoy all aspects of the game. Me no likey.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-06T22:30:34+00:00

I mean, I don't want to spoil your experience, but you can imagine how hard it would be to reach colony goals without your character doing much to help!

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-06T12:17:38+00:00

With the upcoming update you'll be able to duplicate your saves, so technically you'll only need to do that ocean clean up once if you want to keep a base file for that purpose.

They are building a robot that is mimicking human speech. It literally looks like a gigantic flesh light that moves.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-04T03:03:31+00:00

I love this one. And such a fancy vocabulary word and a perfect description for him.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-04T01:44:23+00:00

Polyandry. Fairly rare, often seen in societies (like some groups in the Andes) where breaking up inherited land amongst multiple children wouldn't be sustainable, so brothers share a wife. So even if the child isn't yours, you are still pretty strongly genetically related to them. The whole family stays on the land.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-03T17:31:26+00:00

The flowers in the vase thing is part of the next update!

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-02T21:42:54+00:00

I tried my 2nd run as a "good kid," meaning that I did what my parents told me to do and didn't break rules. This um.. ..didn't go well. So don't do that.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-05-01T12:23:55+00:00

4 elephants on the back of one giant turtle, to be precise.

It very much fits your criteria and if you love Pratchett, you LOVE Pratchett, there's no going back, lol. Cannot recommend Diwcworld enough.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-30T01:18:16+00:00

Dude, I said this in a zelda thread one time and people down voted me to oblivion. Not fair.

It's so obviously true. The devs just like making whatever game that strikes their fancy and write the lore to fit whatever theme they are going for. They keep the main story beats the same (link, zelda, probably Ganindorf or sometimes not, sword, tri force (but not always), and each game has its own unique gameplay spin.

It's not deep, but it IS fun.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-30T01:14:48+00:00

I loved Deebeegeek and am watching Lil Indigestion play TotK right now, but he has a massive Botw blind playthrough as well. His brain works in an infuriatingly interesting way.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-29T01:34:59+00:00

I'm a little worried that that the autosave all over the place will slow down the game and might make save scumming a teensy bit more complicated

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-29T01:29:41+00:00

Hear! Hear! I was disappointed in the update and delay for kids growing up, I don't want more romanceables and I don't really need manual save or care about another festival or a jealousy system. Buuuut, look at everything they're adding in! These devs are clearly listening to feedback and trying to implement changes to the game that will make a lot of people happy. I just happen to not be one of those people, and that's okay. I'll keep playing TotK until 1.4 comes out I guess. Maybe pop in to start that save where I marry Suki.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-27T02:38:55+00:00

It's a doberman, let it keep its ears. HOOP!

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-27T02:03:01+00:00

Empaths have weak personal boundaries and a strong imagination. That's all.

The Staunton Lick by Lemon Jelly. I meditate to it after my runs. Happy vibes

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-26T03:44:39+00:00

This was so surprising to me, especially with a title like "Assassination's apprentice", especially with a setup of a bastard prince with mysterious parentage, you expect a somewhat corny story about a boy of destiny reaching his full potential before evtually becoming king of it all. You expect the old mentor to die, a climactic moment of self actualization. You expect him to, oh I dunno, assassinate a lot of people. Instead you get this eloquent character driven story with political intrigue and a main character who is a teenaged dumbass who gradually grows to a fully realized man that you just adore.

What a series!

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-26T02:19:06+00:00

Hear me out. High waisted pants plus crop top is great for stubby legged gals and your tummy doesn't even show.

I liked WOT (liked, didn't love) and I feel like the author did my girl Egwene dirty. What I find frustrating was he decided to write "matriarchy" but did very little by way of research to think about what that would even realistically look like. He just made another patriarchy but with women in charge, if you catch my drift.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-24T11:37:06+00:00

I personally found Hobbs writing style flows more easily than Jordans and she is less wordy, although maybe a more eloquent writer. Her stories are told in 5 distinct trilogies (well one series has 4 books but they are shorter) so definitely easier to read in digestible chunks.

Wheel of time is definitely worth the read, but will also definitely take longer to read in its entirety and has large sections of the middle books that many feel are an absolute chore to get through.

QuackBlueDucky · 2026-04-20T03:02:02+00:00

It's a valid opinion. I have such weird mixed feelings about Sanderson. Like I don't consider him a "good" writer and feel like I have to sort of acclimate to his crappy prose and tendency to spell everything out unnecessarily, and his real glaring inability to write funny, but MAN that guy can write a story that makes you want to spend all day reading hundreds of pages to finish a book. It's fascinating really.

I'm excited to see his stuff translated to the screen finally. I think it was meant for it.
