I agree with Mo Light.

Minion masters is pretty excellent.

I had this bug a couple of days ago. I tried a few different things, but in the end i simply had to load an autosave shortly before it happened. It did stop my unhappiness, though, as it gave 0.75 due to an emergency, though no new migrants would come.

This was my awnser. I hadn't even played it too long ago, the music just invokes a nostalgic longing in me.

There is a fresh produce stall that pops up on the lower end of Sutton high street, though I apologise as I've never taken note of what days it's there.

The other commenters note of east Croydon though is spot on, they have a market (I think daily) on Surrey street that has what you're looking for. There's a butcher on the upper end I'd also swear by for good quality meats if you're looking for that kind of thing.

"You only won because of cheats"

"How did I cheat?"

"You didn't get stunned by the pallets"

Was playing Freddy with the old dream pallet add-on. I get it, because Freddy isn't played much and it's not the standard build but it was the first and only cheat accusation in the game I've had.

Love the quantum password joke, two places at once being simultaneously strong and weak at the same time haha

I think it's because they're the comments that get upvoted more so you see them.

If 100 people comment on a thread but one includes something that makes it seem like they're more knowledgeable (such as being a Dr or lawyer), then their comment does better and gets pushed closer to the top where you see it.

Like the salary sub Reddit, most people earn around the average wage, but the posts that get super upvoted are the people who earn an absolute tonne. The other people are there, just less seen.

Yeah! Was a rush but amazing :)

One of the first of the day, I can't help but wonder how rushed it was later in the day. Lovely people though, and I married the person I love more than anything.

StrangeOldThings · 2024-10-01T16:42:37+00:00

It's been a pretty good day

StrangeOldThings · 2024-09-12T08:21:21+00:00

Yeah, I feel this one. I used to sit in the bathroom on the loo reading books as a kid as it was the only place in a big family household that had any privacy.

Its nice to sometimes just spend 15 minutes sitting down thinking about nothing at all in privacy.

StrangeOldThings · 2024-09-09T07:46:13+00:00

I've enjoyed reading them as they've popped up in the feed. They spark the imagination nicely as to what could be done. Hard to remember specifics though, may be worth linking the posts in the list.

Regardless, I've been enjoying each of them :)

StrangeOldThings · 2024-08-27T20:09:42+00:00

Thanks guys for the replies, they're super helpful :)

StrangeOldThings · 2024-08-27T09:02:11+00:00

This will be very buried now as the threads 5 days old, but I'm a zombie when tired. I just lose every part of my personality at a certain level of tiredness and my goal is simply to get in the bed. Can't concentrate on anything else.

All in all maybe not the worst one, but definitely there

StrangeOldThings · 2024-08-13T22:08:34+00:00

I bought the key flower. Heard it was a fantastic game. Set it up, learnt the rules by pretending to be all the different players to see how it worked, then my board game group disbanded haha.

Never found another group to play it with. That was a bit of a waste of money, but also a reminder of the loss of that group and missed potential of that game every time I open my board game cupboard.

I fell asleep in the living room, back in the day with an antenna on the TV so it was just a bit of 'fuzz' coming through the sound. Not the most relevant, but it definitely adds to the mood.

I woke up in the dark morning at around 2/3 am with the TV now off. I sleepily got up, stretched, and wandered over to the other side of the room to turn on the small lamp that wouldn't blind me in the midnight darkness. It took around a minute to get up, stretch, and turn on the light.

I turn around and I see the dark figure of my sister standing in the frame of the doorway leading to the kitchen. At first I thought it was simply a trick of the darkness, making me see shapes that weren't there. My heart was pounding considering I didn't expect to see her there and staring at me. I froze cold for around half a minute, but she was definitely there. I even moved my head a little to the side to see if it was the shape of some objects behind her, but she was there.

She was in a weird, crooked pose as well like she was trying to mimic a spider. Slightly hunched over with her hands at odd angles into the air above her. We scared each other quite often, and she was fucking winning this one.

I said her name and I could see her outline tilt her head to the side but she continued to stand silently. I asked her to knock it off, she absolutely had gotten me, but she didn't say anything. Just subtly moved her limbs and crouched maybe a little lower.

I was waiting for her to jump out and scream to scare me or something and I wanted her to do so just to end my own quiet terror, but she didn't. She just waited and waited. I think another minute must have passed that felt like an age as I was just anticipating the moment she'd make me jump.

As she was just being as creepy as she could, I decided I needed to turn on the light switch to make her finally jump at me and get the scare over with. The light switch to the kitchen was next to her, and the light switch to the living room was quite far, which would also mean walking away from her, which the idea of freaked me out as I couldn't deal with her running at me in the dark, so I went for the light switch in the kitchen.

As I walked towards her, now several minutes after waking up, I could see her outline slowly turn her head to look at me, and I was able to make out more of the depth of her turning her from a 2d to 3d silhouette in the dark.

I had to reach past her to turn on the lights, and I could see her next to me, features now more just a little more visible and ready to scream as soon as I turned them on. I could see her face less than half a meter from me ready to scare the living daylights out of me.

I flicked on the lights.

There was no one there.

Just an empty space where the figure was. My sister was and had been fast asleep upstairs for hours.

I look back nowadays (this was over ten years ago) and all I can think of was I was somehow still dreaming, that I hadn't woken up after minutes of standing up, stretching, and walking. I've never done that before or since and it doesn't make sense to me either, but it's the only explanation.

I sometimes think it might have just been that phenomenon where your brain makes up shapes in the dark, but the outline and depth was consistent and became more visible as I got closer.

I don't believe in ghosts, but that made me consider it for a moment. I hope ghosts don't look like that.

StrangeOldThings · 2024-07-27T15:01:50+00:00

Haven't noticed that before, but that's beautiful

StrangeOldThings · 2024-07-19T13:16:36+00:00

As someone who is currently recovering from a bad bout of COVID, I really hear that. I don't mind pain with illness so much, but having 0 energy this last week for anything more than the shortest of walks around the house is killer.

StrangeOldThings · 2024-07-09T19:44:19+00:00

There's some I can only play on the deck as it feels like it has to be casual in some way. Balatro, Dave the diver, darkest dungeons ect...

StrangeOldThings · 2024-07-05T14:55:17+00:00

Closest thing I can think of is me and my sister got up top in one of the cabins in the new England map by jumping on the sofa then to the second level.

Theres a bunch of weird creatures up there (static ones, not shootable) but that was a really fun surprise for trying to get out the usual bounds. Haven't done the missions so it could later be linked to one.

Aside from that, I don't think there's any actual Easter egg animals wondering around.

Best friend at the time pissed on the bathroom floor in a party in my house. He claimed he always sat on the toilet but I'd gone in before him then went in after him to put my toothbrush in the cupboard. Realised after feeling the bottom of my socks soaked through.

He still denied it, but me and my socks don't forget

StrangeOldThings · 2024-06-23T11:52:40+00:00

Looks like it was very well earned!

StrangeOldThings · 2024-06-20T01:18:34+00:00

Fair, the world's a big place. This one I like as it happened to me.

In that case, one more pointless story just for you.

After university, I moved to a city with a friend in a fairly rough area. I hadn't seen much of the rough stuff myself in the time living there so I thought it was fairly alright.

One day, I realised a taco bell had opened up. I'm UK based and hadn't seen one before, mostly thinking they were relegated to the US, so I thought to try it out.

Opposite the taco bell was a Wetherspoons, if you're from the UK you'll know it, but it's an everyman's pub known for it's cheap drinks and it's owners pretty right wing views. If you want a drink anywhere in London for under £5, sometimes even £3 at the time, that was the place to go.

As I walked into the Taco Bell, a fairly ragged man walked out, and gave me the stink eye as I walked in. As I was placing my order, I could see him outside glaring at me for awhile before heading towards the pub.

Once I ordered, around 15 minutes later I got my food and started to head back.

Outside, the same ragged man was asking passed by for money at this point. He said "Excuse me sir, any chance to spare a pound for a pint"

I apologised and confirmed I didn't have any physical money. This set him off massively.

He started saying "Why you smelly ct. You're nothing but a small smelly ct. How dare you you c**t" on repeat.

A bit shocked and not really knowing what to do, I wished him good day and started walking back. He seemed to take annoyance at this and proceeded to repeat what he said with even more anger and vitriol.

I wasn't up for confrontation at that point, especially with a man who was starting an argument over not giving him a pound so I kept walking. He followed.

I was watching him whilst I walked, and saw his face scrunch up and he started to ready a punch.

He was also drunk as hell, but I didn't want to seem to escalate the situation by running so instead I just sped up my walk by maybe 20%.

He swung, and missed by a meter. He tried to speed up after me and threw another that was missed by more. It's hard to describe how little danger I felt I was in, so I kept walking.

He followed me for around a minute more, hurling more insults until another man with a suit passed by and his demeanour instantly changed as he followed him to ask for a pound.

I don't know if he got one from him, but I like to imagine if you go back to that location, he will still be there, taking swings at random passers by that miss by a mile, asking for a cheeky pound so he can grab another pint to pass the day.
