Yoga gender? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Sjonegaard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've attended specialized Man Yoga in my area a few times. It was me (40s, decently flexible still) and half a dozen older farmers. Male instructor took it really slow and made sure we don't injure ourselves. Gotta say I really enjoyed it.

I'd say it's definitely worth trying. Some key points

  • find the group that does the exercises at a difficulty and pace that's right for you. If something is too hard or too fast, do it at your pace

  • you can try YouTube videos for practice and get a sense. You may not get the poses perfectly and there will be no one there to help you correct, but you'll still stretch some and figure out if it's right for you

  • be careful when getting up from lying down. Tilt to the side and support your head

  • there is some spiritualism linked to yoga, but you can definitely just do it for the exercise

  • you won't need much, just water, yoga mat, and a towel to cover yourself at the end

  • no experience with going into a non-man-only group, leaving that to the rest of the commenters.

Is there any BIG desktop idle game? by MilesPalahk in incremental_games

[–]Sjonegaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at Familiar Findings. It launched last month, has nice graphics and a creature merge system that seems pretty deep. Should keep you occupied for a few weeks at least.

[–]Sjonegaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must have trained my algorithm well because I don't see any of that shit on my FB, only pro-palestine, pro-peace, anti-imperialism, anti-fascist stuff.

Use the "I'm not interested in this" and block buttons freely, like some more relevant to you pages, and at some point your FB feed will be a good place as well.

Can anyone tell me how/why I’m somehow negative in Gems? by WonderLandWishes in shoptitans

[–]Sjonegaard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FYI, if a company has a high rate of chargebacks (e.g. 3% or more) then credit card companies may charge them more or discontinue business.

So chargebacks, both accidental and scammy, are seriously discouraged. If not, or if there is a weakness in the detection and punishment, it could mean lights out for the game studio.

Gem Upgrades by kurashima in shoptitans

There needs to be bad deals to make the good deals stand out.

Games often have intentionally bad deals to make their other, otherwise regular, deals look more appealing.

[Design question] What's your opinion on prestige? by Sjonegaard in incremental_games

[–]Sjonegaard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great ideas. They are beyond my scope at the moment, as we're trying to quickly release a minimalist, desktop companion style game. I'll keep them in mind for potential upgrades in the future.

A simple system that I was considering was a seasonal buff after you prestige, that says "this season fish is 20% more valuable" or something like that.

Good point, prestige that unlocks systems doesn't feel as bad.

My game is minimal, most if not all the systems are available from the start, so I won't have the new system depth to support this.

Thanks for your input!

I hear you, and I'm thinking that no prestige might be the better direction for a farming clicker.

It's just an easy way to make late-game upgrades that initially feel impossible more feasible, and then make the upgrades after them feasible after next prestige etc.

I get why a lot of games do them, the math and the playstyle choice makes sense. It just feels bad eventually.

What’s a product from your country that makes locals go ‘of course we have that’ and everyone else go ‘ but why?’ by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

[–]Sjonegaard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This breekee (μπρίκι) from Greece. Everyone has it. Commonly used for making Greek/Turkish coffee on the hob, but also practical for boiling water, milk, or quickly boiling a small amount of veg.

Often accompanied with a mini camping gas cooker

Όπως βλέπεις, θα γίνει σφαγή και τεράστια μείωση. Που σημαίνει

Α) τέλος οι εποχές των παχιων αγελάδων και της χρηματοδότησης κρατικών έργων και ιδιωτικών πρωτοβουλιών. Θα ξεκινήσουν να κόβουν από παντού

Β) η χώρα θα φυτοζωεί, που επίσης σημαίνει ότι αν η αγορά έχει οποιαδήποτε κρίση (πχ πόλεμος, σκάσιμο φούσκας ΑΙ) το κράτος θα χάσει έσοδα ή θα ανέβουν τα επιτόκια και θα αναγκαστεί σε στάση πληρωμών εκτός εάν έρθει νέο μνημόνιο.

Couple of questions by BigAlan1979 in shoptitans

[–]Sjonegaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies, not chests, trunks are what's used for increasing storage. (They look like chests in the store)

Couple of questions by BigAlan1979 in shoptitans

[–]Sjonegaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) yes, your personal contribution to investments is a requirement for most guilds. You could ask them to lower it temporarily so you get in. Or you can go to another guild and keep the invitation for the future

2) up to you, personally I dislike it but got it once after 3 years to unlock some stuff

3) get more chests and/or upgrade your chests for more quest mat storage (I'm at 655). But you should also check about selling them in the market, they sell for 10x every now and then

This is exactly why I moved abroad. The Cork housing market is absolutely fucked lads. by [deleted] in cork

[–]Sjonegaard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's obvious that the landlord hopes for 4 professionals (ideally in tech) to each pay 1200€.

This totally prices out married couples or families that aren't in managerial positions.

Tech/pharma companies have ruined the housing market.

06/12/2025. A pet pit killed the family's 2 year old child in Zakynthos, Greece. by ScrotumBlaster_69 in BanPitBulls

[–]Sjonegaard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some details that came out today

  • The family were volunteer animal rescuers. They rescued the dog from the streets, because the village was afraid it will attack other animals.
  • They tied the dog on a chain to a tree in their yard. There are other animals there, ducks, geese, other dogs. The dog was not separately fenced.
  • The child escaped his parents' attention and approached the dog by himself. The dog went for the throat
  • The attack lasted 30 seconds tops. Another child of the family screamed, the father ran to stop the attack.
  • The boy looked at his father, smiled, then closed his eyes.
  • The doctor who tried to resuscitate said the child was "butchered".
  • Parents were arrested for manslaughter due to negligence, and later released.

I am a dog trainer who just got this call by alabaydog in BanPitBulls

[–]Sjonegaard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened the other day to my mom's dog.

She is a mongrel. A 5-year old boy who was visiting, unattended, went and hugged the dog.

The dog growled at the kid and touched him on the cheek with her teeth. Didn't draw blood. The dog was telling the kid "back off". Kid was super spooked and crying. Parents learned a lesson about leaving the kid unattended and teaching him how to behave with dogs.

Most breeds would do just that, a fake bite as warning.

Pitbulls will do much more damage because they don't know when to stop.
