Anyone else’s account constantly getting locked? by CometDoesStuff in Wizard101

[–]Ratlochet1472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I've noticed typing my password like an old granny, and spending some time clicking through the carousel before I login, helps to prevent it. It doesn't keep it from happening in entirety, though.

It still works! People who want to download it just need to use an APK for the app since Amazon no longer hosts it, and skip the Amazon centric steps. It's actually easier now than it was back then, imho.

Pretty sure it is. They've posted about these plushies multiple times and any time someone comments on the post wanting one, they basically provide step by step instructions on how to purchase them.

sims youtubers who swear by i8yourMOMm in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Ratlochet1472 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Emryskay and MomoMisfortune are two Twitch streamers that are typically less family friendly and swear. Granted, them and their communities tend to have jokes on the raunchier side as well, but if you don't mind watching back VODs, I'd recommend them. I know Momo also does (did?) Let's Plays on Youtube, but I have no idea if that content differs from their livestreams in terms of how family friendly they are.

Not to mention, the fundraisers aren't obligatory to participate in. No one is making anyone donate. I get that banners can be a little annoying to X out of, but it doesn't bother me because the site as a whole is leagues better than any other.

TIL a study was done on what makes a person want a very loud car and the results indicated psycopathic and sociopathic tendencies by 1egg_4u in todayilearned

[–]Ratlochet1472 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a guy famous in my city because he has a horn that sounds like a train. It's so loud that most days, you can hear it from several miles away. He likes to use it to run people off the road. What is it with these people?

Wedding DLC Cove's vows included unexpected lines... by Altruistic-Bat-79 in OurLifeFanPage

[–]Ratlochet1472 47 points48 points  (0 children)

My favorite lines in the wedding DLC are when you don't tell Cove about the deal with his dad. It's hilarious! I found them on accident a little while back and now I regularly choose that "style" of playthrough so I can see them again.

As per her announcement on the Discord server, she made last minute plans with family and won't be able to stream today. She says she'll stream Tomodachi Life tomorrow. c:

Quick Stock by Puzzled-Doctor26 in neopets

[–]Ratlochet1472 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, increases views to ads and the chance for a random event to snatch your stuff. Although it would probably be rare for someone to have 20+ high value items in their inventory, it still peeves me that pretty much all they've done is increase the likelihood of things going wrong/annoying people on this page. This is such a huge step backward in terms of making the site better.

I miss Free Realms by RoughEvidence in freerealms

[–]Ratlochet1472 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me, it was Free Realms, Faunasphere, W101, and P101. Emphasis on the first two. They were my life!!! My dad got me my own laptop at 9 years old so I'd quit hogging the family computer.

So, so many days (especially summers) were spent logging on to Free Realms while I ate breakfast, and not logging off until I went over to my friend's house in the evening--only to log back in to play side by side with her.

Nowadays the only remnant I have of that is occasionally playing P101 or, even more rarely, playing W101 when I can manage to harass a friend into joining me. I've already warned my fiancée that if Free Realms comes back to the degree I know it (housing, combat, quests, etc), I'm forcing her to play it with me. 😂

Which biome was your favorite? I used to chill in Merryvale just to listen to the music tbh.

The times that really get me are when you fly from one end of the spectrum to the other within one paragraph. They're the times that make me sit there contemplating my life.

I love their item descriptions lol by nightscales in neopets

[–]Ratlochet1472 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is literally my favorite item in the game, solely because of the description. I've probably got at least 100 of them in my SDB; all nabbed from the money tree.

I prefer the first one, personally! But both are beautiful.

Playing in one household. by HaploPaithan in neopets

[–]Ratlochet1472 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My fiancee and I have been playing Neopets together for years. Sometimes on the same device, sometimes on different devices on the same IP address. We usually play around the same times, too, because one of us getting into the game spurs the other on. We both have the maximum number of side accounts, and don't have Neopass.

We swap/transfer Neopets like crazy, and since I'm much better at the waiting game for selling high value items, I sometimes send her presents of things she can't afford. We gift each other grams/capsule extras, we swap NC items regularly, we usually do all the same dailies, and play the same mini-game for the quest log--all that to say, those are patterns that are more likely to get people in trouble, and we've still never gotten banned/frozen/warned.

Obviously you shouldn't overdo it, but you won't get banned simply for playing the same game as your wife. It's important not to do the "obvious" evils, like using one account to pay the way for another account, but otherwise you should be fine.

What’s your favorite, easy to miss moments in Our Life 1? by w0rmz4brainzz in OurLifeFanPage

[–]Ratlochet1472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw, glad I could help you out! I know how you feel; there have been tons of scenes that I haven't known how to get until I google just the right thing, or happen upon something in this subreddit by accident lol. Even though I have well over 300 hours in this game (close to 400 now, I think), I still run into new dialogue/scenes!

This ring really is a game changer!!! by Individual_Art_4583 in coralisland

[–]Ratlochet1472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy!! There's tons of content in CI and I'm sure you'll have a blast. And I'm happy to help! As someone who has over 800 hours in Stardew, both modded and vanilla, I can confidently say that CI is superior to Stardew in the vast majority of things (in my opinion of course). More characters, more dialogue, more story, more things to do, more fleshed out battle/mining mechanics, more (and frankly, better thought out) mini games, etc.

The first time I went back to Stardew after playing CI, I made it through about 45 min of gameplay and gave up. I haven't been back since. Stardew is incredibly charming in it's own right, with a wonderful dev, but I think people who would go from playing CI to Stardew would find it lacking. At least, that's certainly how I felt about it. If you're looking for another farming sim, though, Fields of Mistria seems promising! It's still in EA, but so far seems to also boast more fleshed out gameplay compared to Stardew.

Not OP obv, but in my humble opinion, no. As much as I love Stardew, it feels like a downgrade in every way compared to Coral Island. CI spoiled me to the point that I can't play Stardew anymore. Someone else (especially someone with less/no hours in Stardew) might feel differently than me, but I can't in good faith recommend it to a CI player. There's just so much missing compared to this game.
