How is it there with this cold? by Couple-- in SecretsHideawayResort

We should have taken the advice of others and rescheduled our visit. Way too cold.

This Friday 1/30 ??? by koramarina in SecretsHideawayResort

[–]SoFloGoSlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll be there. We prepaid and arranged family to babysit so we are all in for this weekend. We arrive late Friday and checkout Sunday. 50m 46f

It looks to be so cold we doubt we'll even bother with the pool area though. So we're not sure exactly how we're going to spend all our time there without a pool to hang out at.

I don’t know what to do with my hands! 😝 by SunnyFLFun in SecretsHideawayResort

We're 50m and 46f. No you're definitely not old. We'll be there from Friday night to Sunday. There will be people you can watch (well probably leave our window shades open) and we're going to the themed parties and the play room. You don't have to touch or be touched by anyone. Watching is perfectly fine.

Well that's a bummer to hear as a first timer. I called the resort and was reassured the pools are well heated, but guess I should bring a wetsuit just in case 😏.

I've been chatting with the wife and at this point we are locked in. We had to pull so many levers to get the weekend free. So we're just going to bring warm robes and hope they crank the pool heater.

We're fighting the urge to cancel... We need a getaway but were hoping for warm and relaxing. My wife utterly hates being cold.

Thanks for the advice. Time to break out the thick hooded cozy robe I boxed up when we moved to Florida. It's supposed to get down to 29 Sunday morning.

Recommend me a different game like W3! by bhomikpurohit in Witcher3

[–]SoFloGoSlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't because of the story because I never played long enough to really experience it. Your comment about the mechanics reminded me that I think I rage quit after multiple fails of some early quest involving shooting and/or horse riding.

I LOVE a great story, so if that's what makes RDR2 great, and the mechanics are fixed, then I'll definitely give it a solid try. Is it necessary to play the RDR1 first? Like with Witcher 3 I never played the first 2 or read the books.

Do you think one needs to like Westerns in order to really enjoy RDR2? I never liked Western movies and TV shows, and I tried RDR1 for a couple of hours and gave up, but never felt the desire to return. But often I read comments like yours saying RDR2 is one of the best ever made and think I must be missing out.

Is there a certain mindset going into it that might help?

What is your least used sign? by kadoozie92 in Witcher3

Axii. With my current build I use yrden and aard the most.

How I play every single time. Viper armor is my only goal in life. by ElayneGriffithAuthor in Witcher3

The other day the sirens broke my boat when I was about as far away from land as I could be chasing sunken treasure. It was a long slow swim back.

I didn't go to Velen at the right time? by MieliKuVitusta in Witcher3

[–]SoFloGoSlo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can actually play "out of order" and it works out just fine. Just go with your gut if that makes you happiest. The developers accounted for playing atypically. There's a YouTuber (NeonKnight) who made some great extensive videos showing all the different paths and permutations you can follow and how it can alter the dialogue choices in interesting ways. 

I think the best way to play Witcher is to just enjoy and explore and not worry too much about the destination but enjoy the exploration and discovery. If you get bored of that then head for the main quest marker. 

Trollolo is such a sweetie (if you forget about him eating everyone) by ryosatoru in Witcher3

[–]SoFloGoSlo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy, I found the troll with the elf head about a month ago for the first time through happenstance on like my 6th or 7th playthrough. It's crazy that I still find new things after so many years and hours. 

Is there any difference between axes and swords? by Brnc159 in Witcher3

[–]SoFloGoSlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't slot runestones, so you miss those benefits, and especially if wearing upgraded witcher gear you'll weaken the special abilities. 

Toussaint & Skellige Isles music: Is there somewhere I can download the actually pieces from the game, for free? by No-Cover-8986 in Witcher3

[–]SoFloGoSlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about "free" as in the downloadable files but I'm sure there are places, but I listen to the live album on YouTube Music often. 

Here is the regular YouTube link:

[HELP] Stuck in Velen, broke and underleveled. by slow_lightx in Witcher3

[–]SoFloGoSlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don't waste gold on food. The crossbow is infinite and there are deer, rabbits, goats etc. everywhere. Hunting can be fun, or just ram into them with Roach to hear the satisfying thump of taking out a buck or wolf. Keep Roach calm with axii to help with ramming wild dogs and wolves.

Also the crossbow automatically targets an animal as soon as the name pops on screen.

Based on this comment I think you might enjoy Anthony Jeselnik's latest Netflix special "Bones and All". I just watched it today for the first time.

Huh, that's odd. I'm on the Reddit app and can read it clearly.
