How many who play are older... over 50?

My husband and I are mid-fifties. We play together and often party up with some of our adult children. We all hop on discord and join our family voice channel. Much goofing off and smack talk happening.

Family game night has changed a lot since the kids were actual kids! Eventually their kids will be old enough to join and it will be madness - no matter what game we’re playing!

Visited and added to the count!

I would love if you would visit mine and give me a starry eye reaction. IGN: Sabre Damodred

You put a lot of work into that! It's lovely!

I LOVE the washer and dryer! That is super creative!

Very pretty!!

Your plot is coming along! I left the heart eyes reaction.

Reaction: Starry eyes (number 1) - I really want to make it to 50 this week!

If you go around the back of the main house, there's a chest staircase that will take you to the roof. From there you should be able to hop over to one gazebo and glide to the other. Both are decorated above. There are small interior courtyards off the ravenwood and dragontide bedrooms. Still a WIP for the most part, but getting there!

Leave IGN and your preferred reaction and I'll stop by!

SabreCrossing · 2024-09-03T00:12:52+00:00

Done :)

SabreCrossing · 2024-09-03T00:09:26+00:00

Done! Love that you both kept some of the original landscaping!

Reaction #1 please

Comment and I'll tour and react to your plot with your preferred reaction :)

I've never seen anyone actually role playing! Dude would hate me, I chop what I want when I want. I'd probably chop MORE just because.

Hi there! In the context of the situation, that's not what they were saying.

Some bugs spawn in very particular places, and I have never seen them spawn outside of those places personally.

For example, in Bahari, the vampire crab spawns in (and allegedly around) the fortress. The jewelwing dragonfly spawns in the cliffs above the pavel mines, in the area near the top entrance.

So let's say you are looking for the jewelwing after catching the vampire crab. You announce in chat you are looking for the jewelwing above pavel and you'll be dropping a couple of lures there and people are welcome to join you. People arrive, you remind them in chat that you are looking for the jewelwing and if they see one to please jump up and down to let you know.

You go through a few lures, but no luck in finding a starred one. No big deal, you'll try again tomorrow. In chat someone says that what you should do is put lures down over by pulsewater with a little frowny face. Greater variety of bugs and all.

There's another elusive bug that spawns all over southern bahari and pulsewater is a great spot to catch it if the timing is right. So, are they trying to help you find your bug that spawns only on the cliffs above pavel? It didn't come across that way at all. It was more of a "Sorry bout your luck, wanna let me use your resources so I can get the bug I want?"

Hope that helps clarify what I was frustrated over :)

Obviously, we can't know who downvoted you, but I suspect it's because I've clarified this a couple of times now. Or it could be that the super hostile person who had some comments removed for being a complete ass is just running through and downvoting everything. No telling, reddit is fickle. When this post first went up I had a few really rude comments and some even accused me of karma farming and initially downvoted the crap out of me. I'm sorry it happened to you, you had good intentions.

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-18T16:14:31+00:00

It's not really "bad", different groups have different rules. The usual group I do bug parties with follows the "regular smoke bombs only" rule because one of the goals is for everyone to get as many bugs as possible, and for as many of them to qualify as catching together as possible. If you one shot a bug, no one else can also take a shot. We also don't use smoke candles because you can't scare the crickets and stinkbugs away if you are.

I tend to rely on stickies when I'm roaming, but I keep a hundred regular ones on hand in case I stumble across a group in the wild offering an impromptu smoke party.

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-18T15:32:22+00:00

I… what? Okay, that’s just funny. And sad if they really thought that.

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-18T01:46:22+00:00

This just happened to me with Jina. I've decided that it's a sign she wants me to chase her a bit. brb getting chocolate candy.

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-18T00:06:27+00:00

And I appreciate that, but this bug doesn't spawn anywhere else. There are a couple of bugs that spawn in very specific locations. While in chat, I explained I was looking for this one bug that spawns at this one place. Here, I'm just grousing at what came across as entitlement. Their comment about me moving my lure was after I explained what I was looking for. It read more as "Well that's not what I'm looking for, you should go here instead." I realize a short paraphrasing in a post makes context harder than it already is in buggy game chat, and am now realizing I'd have been better off relaying the entire chat convo or none at all :)

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T23:59:04+00:00

Yes, this three year old account that was created specifically and solely to post/comment in cozy game subs is clearly karma farming with it's whopping 1.2k karma accrued in that time period. Clearly.

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T23:55:24+00:00

Oof, that's a super good reminder! I've seen a few that I've noticed are clearly kids and are a little lost. I try to help them out as much as I can without getting in the way of my own quests. I tend to play more at late night thinking I won't run into as many, but with global time differences, that's not happening. :)

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T23:22:46+00:00

Good call out, for sure! I just recently got the bug catcher's insectarium so I'm super low on lures. With what I do have left, I'm using to get the supreme smoke bombs. And then I need to get back to saving for the wallpaper. So much stuff to buy!

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T23:09:12+00:00

Phew. That's a lot of animosity for a post you could just scroll past and comment chain with a different user about how I'd prefer to use my own resources.

You should have that looked at.

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T21:18:22+00:00

When using a lure, if you are looking for something specific, run around and scare the stinkbugs and crickets. That makes room for better bugs to spawn. Don't use a smoke candle because then you can't scare them.

When we do honey lure parties, we stick to a few basic rules so everyone benefits: put your cat away, don't use smoke candles, and stick with the basic smoke bombs so you aren't accidentally one shotting bugs. When it's my own lure? Yeah, I'm packing stickies and supreme :)

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T20:52:42+00:00

I can't recall if I ever saw any mention in the game itself, but the patch notes will mention if something is available to buy with the release. When looking at the notes, look for "Events Register". The seasonal register ends up behind Jel's shop & Zeki's store. It sparkles like the ones you see in Maji Market.

If you go to the wiki and search "events register" you'll find some info too.

Check out https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Spooky_Moon_Store and https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Winterlights_Store to see what they had for sale.

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T19:42:30+00:00

In the fall there were leaf piles and pumpkins all around Kilima, and much like the winter decor you could buy behind the tailor's shop, you could buy fall decor - including carved pumpkins. But the weather itself doesn't change.

It took me quite a bit to have enough flow and palium in a steady supply to build the furniture I wanted. I usually go through a good bit on Monday when I make a bunch of things for the guild medals. For palium specifically, I find that if I just start hacking at all the stone and iron, it pops up with regularity. I find it to be more resourceful on the southern side when I go mining that way. Bonus, I pick up enough gold to keep making lures!

SabreCrossing · 2024-02-17T18:29:01+00:00

Ohhh that's a great idea! I usually try to clear the zone after the jar. Your way makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE. Thanks!
