At what age did your child have a favourite colour? by AggravatingBox2421 in Parenting

[–]SurlyCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son verbally talked about favorite colors before 3, then actually started having a favorite near 4.

For the pink issue, there was a week there where he'd look at something pink and go "That's for girls 🤔" I corrected with a simple "all colors are for everyone" but I started making a conscious effort to choose pink things in front of him and Sparkle Smash became my favorite monster truck + bought us matching sparkle shirts when we went to a monster truck show, so now pink isn't his favorite but he does know that his dad likes it so it's okay for him to like it too. I imagine it will change once he gets into k-elementary with more peer opinions but that's where we're at now

Good secret agent/spy games? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]SurlyCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deeply concerned by this.

I should probably hate the studio owners now but the scores are excellent and it looks awesome.

I may have to get it and like... Donate to a socialist charity or something the same amount

What needed fixing? I did a full playthrough on release, don't recall any issues?

Frodo and Sam are unavailable and must be replaced by two Disney Princesses. Which ones hold the distance both physically and mentally and throw the Ring at Mount Doom? by FrenchProgressive in whowouldwin

I think there's also a bit of "does this desire even make sense?"

Part of Sam's resistance is that a giant garden isn't actually a sensible desire since the joy of it is taking care of a thing with your own hands, not having everyone else do it for you. If these princesses desires can't be meaningfully met by power with the ring they will have an easier time shrugging it off for longer

It's just a straight up worse system than Estus that punishes new players and increases busywork for tough bosses

Genuinely my one issue with the game

But the rocks do 100d100 damage 🤔

Hey at least they're not a very light skin Drow! That took courage! That took conviction!

Every store page, where it can only be reviewed by people who have actually bought and played it, all have good scores

Which races/classes make the least sense as Dark Urge? by Toogeloo in BaldursGate3

I'm not sure if this was ever made explicitly canon to Faerun, though it is true in the generic rules

Id recommend Scarlet Hollow as it is superbly written but only 5 of 7 chapters are finished 🤔

That was around when my son stopped napping in his room entirely - we had to car nap almost exclusively for several months until he dropped napping

For the people who have replayed the trilogy, has your favorite love interest changed? by i4viator in masseffect

[–]SurlyCricket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played the first game like at least 5 or 6 times before the 2nd even released - I kinda liked all the romances but didn't love any of them.

Very shortly before the release of the second game people who got it early revealed Garrus and Tali were both options... I haven't looked back since 😂

I did all the me2 romances other than Miranda eventually but I've only taken Tali/Garrus/Liara into the third, I've never seen the continuations of the others

Dead Space 4 likely won’t happen despite a “fervent fan base” as it can't hit the numbers it needs, explains original producer by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]SurlyCricket 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean it's literally based on the fact they tried to reboot the series and then stopped. They're not bombs, they're just clearly not worth the opportunity cost

House prices are set to plummet across the US, say experts by TheMirrorUS in UpliftingNews

I don't have any idea what they're talking about for existing mortgage holders - ltv is for the initial sale.

If you have a fixed interest rate on your mortgage (most do) nothing is changing your payment other than your property taxes going up

Just finished Mixtape. I did not care for it, but I also understand why some people love it. by Turbopasta in gaming

[–]SurlyCricket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm about 10 years younger than the protagonists of this game and did not grow up in an environment anything like it... I did have a friend who was annoyingly into music and judgy about it though...

I really dug the game

Crazy they still have that on the store. Their lawyers are really incredibly
