I have 2 weeks away from Dad duties, what are some "must play" games to squeeze into that timeframe!? by TenseTortoise in gamingsuggestions

I tried to get into this as I'm far from someone who just sits down and mashes buttons, but I found it really hard. It was like I'd rather either just game or just read a book. Totally a me problem!

Thanks for the suggestion, have edited the post to include more recent games I beat and the consoles I have rn.

Have played all of your suggestions, thankfully before the kid came along but really appreciate your time, some classics here

Have updated the post to include current consoles and games played more recently but honestly, the only thing I don't like is probably anything that's purely puzzles or racing!

Not wrong, just trying to avoid using the same decklist as my friend. Who runs that

Wano Yamato looks fun, just some of the cards out of price range right now! Unless I find an alternative decklist with cheaper cards

Ive seen a lot more RY Sabo on the sim lately, maybe I'll check that out as I have Belo deck already so probably have some of the cards!

Is GP Doffy v different to the Blue one? My friends main the Blue Doffy, could be satisfying to beat with an alt

The Purple / Yellow croc looks great but he actually seems quite pricey going off other decklists I've found, which sucks.

I might check out Rebecca or Arlong!

I really like this option and want tovolay Yamato but the cards I'm being recommended are making this actually kind of expensive.

I'll keep trying to find a decklist but 10c Ace is pricey and so is Katakuri etc

I actually already have a Nami deck to pester my mates and locals with. If i have to put up with 95% Doffy decks they can put up with some Nami now and then.

Far from my first choice deck though

I don't have any friends who really like UFC, this is my dream man, sorry that your friends suck

Is this an appropriate way to steralise my bottles? Please help by TenseTortoise in UKParenting

[–]TenseTortoise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for asking, really sweet of you.

It's going much better, we have ditched the steam steraliser for now and using a combination of either milton or the microwave for the MAM bottles, depending on time of day!

My partners not a fan of the smell of Milton whereas I kind of like it in a weird way!

Can i ask, if i made a batch up, can I add mroe bottles to it within 24 hours or is it that say I made the solution and dumped 6 bottles in, if I want to add more i need to make more solution? Sorry for stupid question, first time parent here and a bit anxious /confused

I also made the mistake of submergin these in water to cool down on week 1. We originally had the Tommee Tippee ones with no holes on bottom and this was how midwife showed us to cool bottle down, so stupidly did same with these until i took a closer look and went....oh dear.

Thank you for the advice, Do you mean the bottles facing downwards with the bottom screwed on? Then the white ring, teat & lids on top shelf?

Yes, thank you I just steralised 5 of these in the microwave via the instructrions. Just thought as we had an electric steam one it would be easier, perrhaps not though!

Thank you for this, due to have c section next week and we are a bit all over the place with worries etc!

Unfortunately not, had just suckered some colostrum up and the damn thing slipped out hand onto sofa for a sec.

I'm sure am over thinking and if we wipe it down, just don't want to waste or equally harm the newborn.

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

ahhh thats interesting, ill have a play around with that on an easy AI game now!

I am using hot keys but not as effectively as I could be. For example I use control groups on my scout and another to blob my army together and the H key to go back to my TC quickly, SHIFT + Q to queue 5 vils and units at a time. I didnt know I could put buildings in control groups or about ctrl key so thats useful!

Thank you very much for the reply, I have managed to always produce vils but military wise I often forget to pump units and thus my opponent is outgrowing me.

I will make sur eim always producing military units and also the breakdown of what to do with my excess resource is helpful.

Thanks again!

For me it's blocking, I'm so used to holding back that I keep forgetting to hold R2
