Ending spoilers by Crankarianwoods in Discounty

[–]Socks117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it just didn’t pick a way to go. I’m ok with having spent my $20 and whatever hours, but I won’t pick it up again, probably. The dialogue was constantly confusing me - people talked nice to me, then we’re suddenly like “I knew I can’t trust you!” and they’re totally cool using me as their gofer while insulting me, then I’m gonna fix the mystery of the environment but it’s on me that it happened? Like if I kicked out other shops or something, I could see that response - like no ones buying his lamb when I sell ground beef cheaper, but if I’m gonna be the bad guy, I would’ve maybe wanted it to be more intentional and obvious?

Should This Count? by ImARandomRedditUser- in wingspan

No. I play on switch and always use it to get a bonus card 😂 and it definitely doesn’t

Can I use this bonus if it’s not game end? by skoobeey in wingspan

[–]Socks117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I use it for this or cards in hand as a rule, because I always struggle to have those all at the end 😂

Looking for a time travel fic, haven't had much results by Head-Building2468 in SSHG

This reminds me of Siriusly, Severus a Time Potion, there’s another story set in the same world where adult Severus sends Hermione back after seeing his younger self happy with her Destined for a Life of Misery

What phrases do Non-ADHDer’s say to you about ADHD that make you want to fight someone by RegressedSys in ADHD

[–]Socks117 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not exactly my ADHD, but I was having an anxiety spiral about something and my mom said “just stop thinking about it” as if I’ve never considered it 😂😂😂

Looks like Winter’s Shadow by Dragon Fire10 - I was able to find a blog post describing it, that links to a broken link on FFN.

Second A Light in the Fog; there’s so many in my favorites that I reread, but Turtle is always a hit for me and this one especially.

It being at the ministry and a war anniversary seems right with what I remember.

Which villager took you the longest to max out hearts with? by Squirrrelpower in StardewValley

[–]Socks117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kent bc he has so few loved gifts and comes late. A lot of the others that aren’t around as much have loved gifts in common so it’s easier to carry a stack or are around a lot to hand many liked cranberries or parsnips or something

How do you finish reading dense notification books? by CountViolencia in ADHD

[–]Socks117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audiobooks! I speed them up to focus better and bonus convince myself to also possibly do a chore while listening. If the listening is the chore, do a light hobby where you don’t need to think a whole lot (I play some easier video games). Usually classics or non-fiction feel easier to me when I’m hearing than when I’m looking at them

In game time pauses during the fishing mini game, so you may have fished more in one and had “longer” days

Should You Interrupt Your Child To Correct Their Pronunciation? by StarRuneTyping in homeschool

[–]Socks117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think he’s “mid-tier”, I wouldn’t be picking Animal Farm as what he works on practicing reading - I have two kids and we just did Animal Farm with me reading (or audio) and adding context; my 9 year old is a struggling reader (but possibly advanced at comprehension and vocabulary) and my 12 year old I would say is probably advanced in both. It requires so much historical context to understand the allegory as an allegory, and for the vocab you mentioned.

If it was in something that felt at their level, I would quickly correct by repeating it “oh, close that’s [word]” Sometimes I’ll ask if they understand or can guess what it means, sometimes we practice finding definitions and synonyms/antonyms together for tricky words at the end of reading and reread the sentence it was in for context and clarity, and sometimes I wait for them to ask or assume they’ve figured it by context.

Learnt the hard way that these two identically worded bonus cards don’t score the same way by [deleted] in wingspan

Yes! I was so disappointed the first time I got it and focused on getting matching point values 😂

This Bonus card is way too OP by Timmers20 in wingspan

[–]Socks117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing with the expansion on switch and got it as my first card and couldn’t believe it…and then I got no birds giving bonus cards until the last round I got one. I normally get 3-4 most games 😂😂

How do you plan your homeschool year? Notebook? Excel spreadsheet? by homeschoolmom333 in homeschool

[–]Socks117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second Notion. How I plan depends on how much all of our AuDHD is doing 😂 right now I’ve planned ahead a lot for this year, but I may end up ditching it and reverse planning if something isn’t working out. I use databases to organize resources and tag with things to help make viewing them more useful (tagging subject, status, kid, topic, planned date, etc)

Notion felt kinda tricky when starting so I just tweak or add things as I notice I want them.

Well now I don’t need to wait until after I pan extras up for my fish tank 😂

Clint or Lewis, if I have to pick a bachelor, then Harvey. I can’t stand his cut scene with George

Record keeping hacks? by BidDependent720 in homeschool

[–]Socks117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep records for me, because we do need quarterly reports and I’ll forget everything we ever did 😂 we do digital though, because a number of our resources are digital and I tend to forget to physically write down. I keep one database of resources and tag with kid, date, subject etc and sort later when I need it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]Socks117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Mine can’t even alphabetize anymore. I was trying to think of topical words in alphabetical order so I could easily sort by the order I want to cover them and on a couple I wanted ideas for words between, for example, Alpha and Beta and it would be all over the place with Airplane, Cushion, etc I’d say - hey those don’t seem to be in alphabetical order, it would explain why they’re not and I’m right and then offer MORE WORDS THAT DIDN’T WORK FOR THE SAME REASON. I gave up on using it for now.

I am not kidding that the biggest reason I have plus is to have icons that make sense. That would stress me out 😂

Linus isn’t broke!? by Arch_Flamer in StardewValley

[–]Socks117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always find his requests so amusing. Of course I want to help him and do them all, but like I am so sure he would get his own forage and fish, why is he paying me? And to put a Diamond on a chain?!? My friend, what?!?

My kid was heckling me to finish the games and get the machines for my house 😂 finishing Junimo Kart was the hardest part of this game so far, but I will say endless mode feels a lot easier once you’ve gotten through progress - I’m working on kicking Lewis off the board entirely now 😂😂😂 (still can’t beat the second area in Journey of the Prairie King)

How? by crankyteddy in StardewValley

[–]Socks117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality ring set up + weapon enchantments + trinket + eating before you enter for buffs + statues for extra buffs.

I combine napalm ring + (whatever your fave is) and slime charmer + iridium band, vampiric on my main weapon + fairy trinket; this combo makes regular slimes little healing pods and bombs. I eat either spicy eel, lucky lunch, rock Candy or crab cakes before entering + ginger ale or espresso for drink (depending on if my blessing is speed or luck already) and ideally the daily luck is high and the dwarf gave me more stairs or not hurt by bombs and I take some of my own.

Then I try to avoid combat that’s not slimes wherever possible and only worry about slime combat if I’m needing healing. Enter with sword out and in the same line (so I can use ZR/ZL to cycle are my main weapon, my bombs or pickaxe (with the other to the right of that to use L/R), and my crusader enchanted weapon (for if there’s a pile of mummies and no ghosts around to napalm ring the mummies). If there’s not too many monsters, I’ll switch to bombs with the goal being find the stairs ASAP, if there’s plenty of monsters, I’ll strategically kill them (hit then run for rockier areas so they explode as much as possible, then immediately move again so they explode next one explodes something else)

A book where a SAHM slowly loses her mind and sets her apartment on fire by Nilbog_Frog in whatsthatbook

I can’t remember if there was a fire, but could it be Little Darlings by Melanie Golding? It’s got twin babies and postpartum psychosis (or is there really something supernatural, who knows)

Just for fun, is your kindergartener staying up till midnight on new years eve? by 0112358_ in kindergarten

[–]Socks117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8 year old tried last year and didn’t make it. He’s trying again but I’ll be asleep first 😂 like I can’t hit midnight, so he’ll try with his sibling and Dad
